Mega Kick Up Ass Needed!!!!

Right then Emma - what the hell happened!!!??? Five weeks in and you had lost 0.5 stone and earned a silver 7, week six and seven you put over half of that back on!!!

Ok, ok, I know what has happened. Week six I put on 1lb, not so bad, and I told Vicki (my WW leader) that it would be back off the following week. The 1lb back on I can handle, we all suffer slips in the weight loss game, not the end of the world and considering I had expected much worse, this wasn't too bad a blip. This last week has just been disastrous!!! I've eaten so much s**t this last week, that 3.5lb is actually quite lucky really!!

I don't really know what's wrong with me, I started off so well. I only have about 7 weeks till Tanya's wedding to get to at least half way to my 10% target, to look marginally slimmer for some photos. I also need an outfit, but that's by the by!!

I need an action plan! Tracking is the key really, in actual fact I have slacked in this department over the last few weeks; which has also been a major contributory factor in my recent downfall. This time next week, I would like to have regained 2lbs of my weight loss, any more will be a welcome bonus!

My trouble is I keep focusing on the fact that I have A LOT to lose!!! I want it off and I want it off NOW! Gastric band aside, the only way is the hard way, and I have to accept that, and try to put my mind in the 'small targets at a time' mode. Easier said than done.

Anyway, back to the grind I go, and will post an update next week to let you all know if I managed to stick to my 2lb plan!! xx

P.S. This is what I really need, a little bit of UNAGI!!!

Fat Girl Slim - Day 1

Firstly, God only knows who is actually going to read this, but here we go anyway! 

Well, a lot of you will remember me as a very sporty, blonde, curly haired girl, heavily into horse riding, swimming, lifeguarding, judo; you name it, I probably did it back then. Those of you who have known me since my Island days, may be a tad sceptical at that former picture!!

Since I have been living on the Isle of Wight, I certainly have been living life in the slooooooooooow lane! So slow in fact that I have I expanded some what (see photo below!).

Aug 2010 - Probably the most recent full length shot of moi!! Euww!!

I honestly don't think I eat anymore than I used to, but I did do an awful lot of activity because I wanted to. Now its a case HAVING to!! Sooo not the same.

I am disgusted with myself for having got this big, when I used to be so active I was barely in the house, now I'm barely out of it!! I have succeeded, to a degree, with Weight Watchers before, but this time I am determined to go all the way. I have set myself four targets for this year alone - my bessie mate, Tanya's wedding in April, Partylite Conference in August/tenth wedding anniversary, my 35th (yes, 35th!!) birthday in October and then Xmas 2011. Then it will be targets for 2012.

This time, I am realistic enough that I can't work miracles and lose all the weight in four weeks!! I know it will take me probably the best part of two years to do this the hard way, but BRING IT ON!

There are certainly going to be many ups and downs on the way, but Steve and Terry are on board to support me all the way (most important, as they have to put up with me whilst I do this!!), thank you guys - love ya loads x

So come on old girl, I know you can do it, and do it once and for all!!!
