OK, here I am again, new diary and this time I mean it!
I've been on WW for about 10 years on and off, got to goal in 2003, had 2 kids and back on it all came. But now my kids are at school and playgoup, I have time to concentrate on me and become the gorgeous wife and yummy mummy my family deserve
For about 18mths now I've been helping out at my meeting which in a way hasn't been helping me. I don't have to pay fort a start, so no loss if I'm not losing. I help weigh members, which I absolutely love, love love. I love the rapport and friendships I've built up, sharing the joy when people lose, commiserating when they don't. But in all that I've forgotten that I'm supposed to be there for me too!
So whats changed? Well, as a result of a routine check, it turns out I've got high blood pressure. I've never had issues before, so in my mind it can only be my weight thats causing it. And the day I went to get prescribed medication for it I'll never forget. The doctor telling me I was really very young to be on tablets for it, made me feel awful. The doctor was lovely, it was me thinking how the heck could I have done this to myself, what went wrong, etc.
And since then I've got serious about this. I've always gone to the gym, but as I've learned you can't out-exercise a bad diet. Weightloss is 80% nutrition I once read. So out came the journal, the blue folder and here i am. I've lost 12lb now and people are starting to notice which is great. I set myself a few mini goals (see my sig) and the first one is this week. Due to a slight mishap at the local food festival over the weekend I might not achieve this by my WI tomorrow, but I will defo achieve it by the Friday deadline. Got a big family get together this weekend, they wont have seen me since before Christmas so hopefully they'll be able to see a difference.
So thats enough of me rabbiting on for now. I love to chat, so please stop by and say hi!
