New Start.............

Hi there old friend

Yes I'm back.
Back to my old habits (not good ones!) & back to being very overweight - in fact so overweight I'd really call it FAT - not my favourite word but no doubt an honest description.
However, my sister & I have made a pact to return to Slimming World next week - so for me that's tomorrow morning & for her Thursday morning.
Why are you putting yourself through this again Lisa? Well this is why....

Last weekend we had a family/friend barmitzvah - weather was fab it was a lovely weekend & uncharacteristically both boys agreed to photos with mum - clearly I'm twice the width of both of them! These photos make me want to smile & cry in equal measure.
Then there were two photos taken the previous evening with my sister at our cousin's 50th (they are on FB!) - far too much chin for one girl and lots of flesh being squeezed into a very nice dress - it'll look better with less flesh!

So tomorrow morning I will pack up all my truly fabulous excuses & head back to SW in Borehamwood.
It won't be easy as two of the excuses are on-going:

• Firstly I'm having a very unsettled time at work - very good excuse for eating my body weight in chocolate - that is not going to end swiftly I fear.
• Secondly, and much more 'on-going' is that my dad is in hospital & will have been there for TWO MONTHS tomorrow :( Poor dad he's had a truly terrible time but I do believe we are coming out the other side but all progress is slow. Dad is miserable at being there for all this time (& who wouldn't be?), and due to poor short term memory (he had a stroke several years ago) often doesn't remember what's happened that day or over the last few weeks. Awful for him and us. The constant hospital visiting has lead to irregular meal times & REALLY GOOD EXCUSES TO OVER EAT.

So that's it for today and tomorrow I'll post the grim details - be under no misapprehension they'll be grim!!

Enjoy the sunshine
Lisa xx
