Not Important, Not Urgent
I nearly started a new blog for this. But I thought that I should be brave. There will be some who will read this and think that I am just plain silly. Others will understand with acute awareness.
I want to use this blog to trace another part of my life. I have been living a life a touch out of control. I have put on weight over the last 3 years and it is time to change.
Now that might sound easy. But it is not. I am facing a significant lifestyle change. I had to look at myself and admit that I don't like what I see.
I wanted to join Weight Watchers. But it is hard. You see, a few years ago (after I had my son) I joined weight watchers and lost 30 kilos (sorry, I don't know american weight systems). I was really successful. It was hard to admit that I was so overweight. It was painful. But I did it.
Then I was asked to be a part of the advertising campaign for WW. So I did it. I worked for the company, helping others to lose weight for a few years. It was really fun work. I did it on top of my full time job. My meetings grew in numbers and I made great money. But I got tired.
So anyway, now I am overweight again. Beginning again. Sigh.
I need to lose 16 kilos. Ewww. That was hard.
But from the moment I decided (which was Sunday) I have been tracking my 'points' and eating very healthily. I do love the feeling that I get when I cut out all the bad fats from my diet. It makes a huge difference to my feeling of well being. I just cant describe it.
Well, I have begun, and time to time I intend to write my progress in this blog.
I know lots of people begin weight loss blogs. And I see them come and go. I have decided to record my sucesses and failures. So if you are also going to do this, let me know, group therapy is great for this kind of stuff. Maybe we can encourage each other.
Well, I am off to do shitloads of paperwork.... how unrewarding.
TODAYS SUCCESS - There is a giant jar of chocolates at work, and I have not had one! I choose not to have one tomorrow either!
Wish me luck!! :/
