Just found out there is a family BBQ (partners side).

Bit of Background needed here i think:
The mother in law... does not really like me too much and never really accepted me. Every time there has been a family get together she always tries to take over my kids especially when they were babies with thinks like oh he needs a sleep(when i know he doesnt) oh he's hungry feed him(when i know he's not etc you get the picture. Actually his brother and his sister in law are much the same.
My partner never noticed this and wondered why i went home with the hump.

Why i never stood up for myself because i am very insecure and always thought they were better than me mainly due to some being fairly well off and them and there kids were always in designer labels etc and i was a fat frump who looked awful in anything i wore.

Well i wasnt gonna go this year as to be truthful i cant be bothered with anyone but my kids like to see their cousins etc and there is one brother i actually like and he treats me well and i want to support my partner as he has rowed with them over the last year.


So this year i WILL get this weight off (not for them but for me). I will stand tall and not sit in a corner being quiet and ill shock the frickin lot em and show i am a strong healthy confident woman who does not need their approval.

Plus i want a new killer outfit lol

    Stand tall, Stand Strong. Your kids need to see that you are a mighty woman to be dealt with, and that no one has the right to make you less than what you are, a winner.... Family or not...Oh and money does not make a person any better than anyone else. You go to that family get-to-gether, hold you head high, and let them see a new you, a confident you....

    July 16th is my son's birthday he'll be 2. I also have a goal of July. I want to be 25 lbs thinner by then. It's our anniversary and I want to look better. You can do it. Just stay focused! I ate too many calories yesterday and I didn't work out. But I'm not giving up I'm starting fresh today. July is a long way away I can do this by then!
