I guess I am not new, but in many of your eyes I am! I think I last posted here in February....tooo long ago.

I was trying to get in shape for Bali.......well Bali came a couple of weeks ago and I had only lost 5 kgs, not the 20 oddd that I wished to. Bali was beautiful but I certainly felt very big compared to most who were there. I found it hard to buy clothes for myself, due to their clothes being that bit smaller than ours. I had to buy XXXL pants .... WT? I am an XL here in Oz.. I HATE my photos, and it made it especially hard to look at them because of my skinny friend that I went with.

I treated myself to a tattoo - a Bali Butterfly. The artist in the tattoo parlour even mentioned my weight in a joking kind of way! OMG. Am I really that big? I didn't really take offence to the remarks because it was so true.

So, I now don't have a job (which I am glad for because i can dedicate my time to me and my family) and I have all the time in the world to make this happen. I have a goal .... wear bathers COMFORTABLY by Christmas.

So, hello again! I can't wait to start this journey with you again.

    Welcome back! And well done for coming back - it's hard to acknowledge to yourself (never mind anyone else) that you need to do something about your weight. And only you can make that decision for yourself.
