so todays the day, the start of this what at times seems like a never ending journey.

Today I took the first step and joined weight watchers, scarily i tipped the scales at 114.5kg!!! this scared the shit out of me i didnt realise my weight had gotten so out of  control, seeing that number made me think people who go on the biggest losser weigh this...holy crap thats what i must look like!!!
i should add i did have a baby 4months, however i have always struggeled with my weight.

i think im your typical comfort eater....i eat when im sad, mad, tired ...u name it! so obviously this is something i need to change if i want to get anywhere in this journey.

i have a goal weight in mind, im thinking 70kg.........im sure your all thinking 'theres no way you could get to that', well the only reason im attempting it is for 2 reasons -1. its in my healthy weight range for my height (im 166cm) and 2. i have gotten to that weight before with diet and exercise.
so here goes it no looking back and head first into healthy eating and excercise.

i will update this blog as offten as i can with my thoughts, feelings and also progress picks. I have deliberatly not added a photo today cause after seeing what my weight is im not quite ready to have my photo taken :) hopefully i will be up to it in the next couple of days.
im planning to tackle my 44.5kg weight loss aim in much smaller manageable amounts, like my first goal of 5% -being 108kg im hoping to have achieved that amount (6.5kg) in a month, might seem unatainable to some but ive got to set some good challengers to really push myself.
so here goes it wish me luck :)
