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!!!
Good for you Emma and best of luck. It will be very hard work but well worth it in the end xx
ReplyDeleteDarling, if you want some support then let me know, I have lost three and a half stone since March and so know it can be done and how hard it is. I KNOW you can do it, one day at a time. You are fabulous and this is the first day of the rest of your life!! Lots of love Karen xXx
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely just how you are hun, but if you're not confident in yourself it's time for change and a happier Em, if I can loose 11lb now and Darryl 12lb since the summer on months of hard work YOU CAN DO IT TOO!! It's hard graft has crap days and feels never ending but feels soooo much better when the weight comes off, best of luck boo, lub oo! Caragh, Darryl and Marissa xxx
ReplyDeleteWell Done honey but don't forget you are allowed a little relaxation once in a while and don't kick yourself if you stumble along the way, I kow you can do it we are both the same, eating the same as before but spending more time on our bums than exercising!! I am with you too, can't afford to go to WW but dug out all my old stuff last night and started today having thoroughly disgusted myself the other day in the size of jeans I had to buy and also what the scales said this morning, keep me updated love you xxxxx
