Why Am I Going On This Journey?

Why? Because all of my life for as long as I can remember I've been fat. Looking back at photo's of myself when I was a kid, I wasn't fat I was no different to any other kid except for the skinny ones but who wants to be skinny anyway ha.

So am I scared? Yes I'm absolutely terrified, but I'm also so excited you wouldn't believe it. Being 5' 3" almost 18st and an apple shape its very hard to get clothes that fit and look good. I have small arms, hips and thighs so if it fits round my rather large waist its huge on my hips and legs and like wise arms on things are big and baggy and I can never get a jacket or blouse with a good fit. It makes me look permanently scruffy.

As well as the obvious health benefits, reducing my blood pressure, removing my diabetes, reducing the risk of a stroke and another heart attack I'll have more energy when I'm not carrying another person around. On the cosmetic side of things I can't wait to go shopping, in High St. shops. I can't wait to buy something because I like it, not just because it fits me.

I will be boring everyone rigid with this for the next year I expect and I see no reason why you should all be spared so I've decided to use this space to blog about my weight loss journey. Hope you'll travel with me. I'm going to need good friends along the way. xxx
