OK well here I am, day 8 of my weightloss journey. My first week has been not the greatest, and I have felt rubbish but I have kept going as I am so sick of being big.
My first week I have lost 11lbs which is fantastic. I'm not delusional to believe that this will happen every week but it is a good start and puts me back to where I was a couple of months ago.
This time I know I have a lot of work to do. Not just losing the weight but also getting my head straight. My whole family have issues when it comes to weight. I recall at the age of 8 when I was a little big but mostly taller than all the other kids, I came home from school in tears and told my mum that the other kids had been calling me fat. Her response was "well lose weight then". Not the best parenting, but that is another story. One thing I did learn from her though is in every situation with my own kids think what would she have done.....then do the opposite!
I want to be in the family pictures with my kids and I want to feel good about myself, maybe for the first time ever BUT now it the time to deal with all of this and come out a better person.
So here starts my journey and this time I refuse to fail.
