Introduction

Hi and welcome to my blog.

This is going to be pretty much a journal about my weightloss. I joined Weight Watchers on Monday 8th January. I weighed in at 89.7kg (197lbs). My goal is 65kg (143lbs).

This is probably the 7th time I have joined WW in the past 7 years. I have had varied success with the program with only myself to blame for the failures. I know it works its just getting myself motivated that is hard.

My story:

I was always skinny. Even after gaining 30kg during my preganancy when I was 18, I got back down to size 8 within 3 months. But as I hit my 20's things changed.

I got up to about 70kgs in my early 20's while in a bad relationship. I had no self esteem and didn't care about myself.

I then got out of the relationship and got down to about 55kg.

Then I moved in with my new boyfriend who was 6'2 and loved his food. I began eating the same servings as him without even thinking about it and the weight crept back on again. I hit 65kg when I first joined WW. I struggled to really lose much at all and quit after a few months. The weight kept on piling up and my boyfriend was less and less attracted to me until he basically refused to be intimate with me until I lost the weight. We were together nearly 6 years and for most of that time we had no physical relationship.

Just before it ended I started losing weight and got back down to about 70kg after he moved out.

I then met my now husband on the internet. Him being in the US and me in Australia. We fell for each other quite quickly. After being so miserable for so long and then finally being happy my weight dropped off quickly and when I flew to visit him I was about 65kg and a size 12.

I loved the way I looked. I was happy and finally felt confident.

When I came back to Australia my friend suggested we move in together as we were both living by ourselves. This sounded like a great idea as I needed to save up to get Billy to Australia etc.

So we moved in together and from day 1 I knew it was a mistake. Apart from the fact that she was very hard to live with, she was a large girl herself (about 120kg) and loved her junk food. It wasn't long until I gained back all the weight I had lost plus more.

I was devestated so we both joined WW. At first we both did really well. I lost 5kg in the first 2 weeks. Then she started to skip meetings and slipped back into bad habits. I followed.

Then Billy got here finally and I was so happy that I ate and ate and gained even more weight.

Things got strained with my friend and she moved out (no longer my friend anymore) and I took control of our food etc.

I joined WW about 3 months ago and weighed in at my heaviest 92kg. I didn't keep it up long as I started a new job which made it hard to attend a meeting the same time every week. So I soon gave up.

In the last month I have been going it alone at home, eating plenty of salads and healthy foods.

Then last week I got a coupon in the mail from WW for free joining so I took them up on it. I weighed in at 89.7kg which I was actaully happy about as it means I have lost weight since I joined last time.

I have been really good up until Saturday when I fell and sprained my ankle. I couldn't drive to get to the shops so I was at the mercy of what food we had in the house. So I have kind of gone off track a little bit but am trying to do damage control.

Well I think thats enough about me for now!!
