My First Post

Well I have decided to start this blog, so that I have a record of my weight loss journey. It will be interesting to see the changes along the way.

I started Weight Watcher's on 29 September 2008. I was tired of being unhealthy, unhappy & not having any clothes to wear. As my weight increased, I remained in denial and refused to buy clothes over a Size 16, even though I was probably an 18 to 20. I wore my husbands shirts over the top of stretchy pants. That was my entire wardrobe.

I was invited to a friends 40th birthday party and realised I had to do something when I found it hard to paint my toe-nails. I couldn't reach them because my waistline was too big. I even found getting up off the floor hard. I had nothing suitable to wear and even when I bought a new shirt, I still wasn't happy with the way I looked.

So that's when I decided to join Weight Watcher's. I had joined once before and did it on-line, but this time I decided that I needed to go to weekly meetings to be accountable. I have really enjoyed going and for me to maintain my weight-loss - I believe that I will be attending meetings for the rest of my life.
