Out with the old, In with the new.

My weight has been an issue since my mid twenties, when I settled down with, and who is now my husband. Working long hours and having a fairly stressful job meant the quick drink in the pub on the way home would turn out to be a few hours and pizza delivery for tea. 


  I first started to diet in 2002 in preparation for my big day which was booked for April 2003. I joined my local 'Weight Watchers' and was so determined to loose the stone I had put on, when I ordered my dress it was a size 10, a size smaller than I was.


  I followed plan to the letter, I will admit I had the odd cheeky glass of wine but successfully reached my goal 3 weeks before my big day. I can remember feeling so proud that I was how I wanted to look on my wedding photo's. 

   Over the next 3 years I gradually put on about 1 1/2 stones then became pregnant. My beautiful daughter was born at 6lb 13 and I was 4 stone heavier than the day I got married.


  The picture on my profile is the only one I could find where I am on my own. That was taken in 2005. There are very few since my daughter was born, those I am in I have my daughter strategically placed so you can't see my body shape. How bad is that ????


   I have lost a stone since my daughter was born, and messed with the slimming club that eat red and green (but as I am a compulsive eater and have no portion control it didn't work for me) But now she's 4 1/2 I have no excuse. It's about time I got my backside in gear and did something about it.


 So on the 1st of Jan the cupboards were emptied of all the left over Xmas food. The unopened boxes of sweet, chocolates, biscuits, a box of mince pies and full Christmas cake have now gone.


 I joined a new Weight Watchers Group last night and am now motivated to make the change I so desperately want. On the new plan I have been given 26 points of which I really struggled to plan into today. But after a few added extras I will have eaten my points allowance for today by the time I have finished my tea. No snacking, as No points left.

wish me luck x
