Change is afoot...

So here I am. 35 years old and at today's "Monday Morning Weigh-in", I am 14st.

I've always struggled with my weight. When I was 11, I used to suck in my stomach when I tucked my shirt into my school skirt, so that I could have a flat stomach like the other girls, who had it without having to suck in their stomachs. In my teens, I comfort ate and developed a love for sweet treats...chocolates, cakes, sugary drinks, ice cream, puddings...I loved them all!! And I ate them with abandon.

In my twenties, my weight fluctuated between 11st-13st. As I headed into my 30s, I told myself i'd lose weight for my 30th birthday party. I did lose some weight but it wasn't breaking news. Since then my weight has been between 13st-14st. So after playings hockey, running, WeightWatchers, personal training...all with the aim of losing weight, i'm trying a different approach.

For the next 133 days, I will take a photo of everything I eat and blog about it. The aim?...to capture what I eat and my mood and see if that motivates me to think about why and how i'm 14st and to finally lose weight and achieve my ambition...to weigh 10st and a size 12.
