Back to basics

Here I go again....
Can't believe how long it is since I've blogged and how much I've missed it!
So much water under my bridge.....
So much weight on....
So many tears shed 😢..

I'm starting again at Slimming World and I've put on a great deal of weight since I last wrote nearly 30 months ago and you'll be relieved to know I'm not going to go through it all blow by blow!

Starting again means just that and at some point I'll be brave enough to put my actual weight and measurements but for now I'm not feeling that brave.
For the first time in a long time my sister and I have shared our weight with each other - quite a scarey moment I can tell you. We've also agreed to encourage each other to go to group each week and not to give up as soon as 'something bad' happens! This is really important and I've realised that having someone close who understands is a blessing not an excuse for giving up at the slightest obstacle - and there are lots of those on the way!

At last I'm trying to lose weight for me again - rather than Andrew or my lovely sons or because it's a good idea - even though these are valid reasons. Ultimately I've seen at very close quarter over the last two years the damage that being overweight over a long period time can do and I need to make every effort to change things NOW!

So the journey starts again - I have time as although I'm looking for new roles I'm not currently working. I'm going to concentrate on me for a change!

I'll let you know how it goes...
