Day 1

I asked myself today, when was I last happy with how I looked and If I am honest, probably when I was about 16 years old.............................so that means that I have been unhappy for more than half of my life.

Every holiday that I have ever been on, I have wished that I was slimmer, that my stomach was flatter, that my thighs weren't so big and every year I return from my holiday and say the same thing “Next year will be different, I am going to loose weight before my next holiday", but I never do.

BUT guess what........... that year has finally come. Today I start on that journey, a journey that will hopefully end with me being happy once again when I look in the mirror.
Not only do I want to look good for myself, but I want to look good for my partner, Bruce. I know he loves me the way I am, but I think if I loved myself a bit more then I would be a nicer person to be around.
My aim is to loose around 25lbs, using the Weight Watchers point system.

I need to be more organized, I need to start planning my meals in advance.............. But today was just the start, I plan to work at this and try to do more exercise each week, maybe start going to the gym again and not just paying for it, like i have been doing the last 5 month with out a single visit!
