I  am actually at the stage where i am sick of making up excuses.  I am 31 and fat.  I had my last child 2 years ago, and am kidding myself everytime i tell myself ‘that’s why i’m overweight’.  Im not over weight, i am over over weight!

I am hoping this blog is going to help me with my weight loss.  I refuse to call it a ‘resolution’, as i have never resolved any resolution i have set myself.  I call it a ‘realisation’.  Reality is – i am fat and want to do something about it.  And what better way to start off 2010.

Current size clothes 16 – XL

Goal size clothes 12/14 – M/L

So clothes sizes will do it for me, i am not worried about weight as such, my clothes and how i look and feel in them will let me know how well i am doing, i don’t need to jump on a scale for that.  Once i can get a tape measure i will post my measurements.

I think i will do well with the fitness, i am ok doing that, the biggest test is the eating!!

I have a wedding to attend at the end of Feb, and i want to at least be able to wear the dress that i picked out for it.

Today to kick start things off i went for a run, about 5 km.  Felt good, what kept me going was seeing my fat as shadow on the ground and feeling my giant love handles bouncing up and down as i was running, yuck!!
