This is it...the LAST time!

Well.  I've decided...again!  This is the LAST time I'll be starting a weight loss journey - but this time I mean it!

I've been here before.  Too many times.  I'm now 31 and mummy to a gorgeous 23 month old boy.  I'm also an ex-smoker, and married to a fantastic husband who cooks equally fantastic food.  I've spent so many years blaming each of these things for my steady weight gain, but now I've finally admitted something that I've *secretly* known for a long time...

None of them are to blame...I'm just a little piggy! :0)  I love my food but I've learned a few things:

1 - I hate the feeling of shopping for 'larger' clothes more.
2 - I hate looking at myself in the mirror more.
3 - I hate the idea of looking like this when we go on holiday in 6months time more.

4...and this one's important.  I love my husband and my baby...and myself...more. 

Before, I've always wanted to lose weight JUST to look better.  Now (maybe it's because I'm getting older I don't know), I want to lose weight partly to look better, but also because I want to be healthy. 

So here we go...I'll have my first weigh in on Thursday 6th January 2011 and from that point onwards I will bore myself (and anybody else who chooses to read) to death with details of my weight loss journey.

See you when I'm slimmer! :0)
