The Journey

How many of us can plot our lives through photo's of ourselves?

I have spent my life avoiding photo's being taken of myself if at all possible. I hate it - why? because I have never been happy to be the size I am. No that's not true, a few times I have been happy to be snapped. 2010 is a sort out your life year for me. I am fed up with feeling, well, fed up.

2010 sees me divorced. (finally) In a job I love. (finally - OK it isn't a high powered career but I look forward to going to work and I don't feel I want to rush to leave) But it also sees me back, not at my heaviest, but only a stone away - and climbing!!

This is me last week -
This is me 7 years ago, may be 8. No back fat, no bingo wings. Pretty damb strong, living my dream, OK, some bits were missing (the blisfully happy in love bit) but hey I lived on a small holding, can't have everything, that would be too good to be true. I digress, back to the weight thing.This is me in the summer of 2008. If I can get back to that weight I will be happy. I am never going to be slender and skinny, but here, at 12.5 stone (I have heavy bones!!) I looked in the mirror and didn't feel I wanted to vomit.

My 36th Birthday
33 years old and happy to walk around Melplash Show (a big agricultrual show here in Bridport) in a pair of jeans and a SHORT!!!!!!!!!! black t-shirt.

OK, me at 31 or 32. As the B&B lady.
So my journey starts here. Today is the last day of 2009, tomorrow I shall stand on the scales, (cringe) post the weight here and start.
This is an honest blog, only I can sort out certain sides of my life, weight and fitness being two of them.
Join me.
