Doh!

Okay, so I knew this wasn't going to be easy. You all know what I'm talking about when I mention the words "weigh in". After a few months of procrastination I finally decided to face up to the scales and see just how much weight I was carrying. I estimated that I had put on 5Kg and boy was I not far off. I had put on 4.9Kg and I wasn't proud of myself. So I did what anyone would, I slunk off with my tail between my legs and re-signed with Weight Watchers to lose the weight and get back to my former glory.

I can imagine that by now you have reacted in one of two ways. The first being "I knew she couldn't keep it off forever" or the second being "I've been there X amount of times". To my naysayers out there, I ask them what efforts they have made to keep their weight in check and to the others who have been in my shoes I say let's commiserate together and get on with the job at hand.

This time I have made a new benchmark however and I am planning on getting down to 74Kg. My goal weight with Weight Watchers is 81Kg but I figure if I go below that then when I put on 5Kg I know I have not broken the vow of being over and above my Weight Watchers goal weight and I can work on going back down. I had intended on doing that the first time around but I had people saying I looked fine the way I was. I look fine now (you really can't tell much where I've put it on) but I feel uncomfortable knowing I didn't stick to it properly and let the weight creep back on.

So my new challenge is to stick with what I know works to get the weight off and then stay there. If you're in the same boat, let's share our journeys and do it together!

Until next time,
