Thoughts on weight loss...


Well, a consistent part of the majority of my adult life has been wanting to loose weight, trying to loose weight, talking about loosing weight, giving up on loosing weight and so on and so on.  So much so that not even my children take much notice of my declarations that "I'm going on diet on Monday"!

Since I fully intend being around long enough to watch my children grow into adults and mothers, to enjoy my grandchildren and future years with Randel, I have decided that I'd better put my money where my mouth is, so to speak!

They say if you are happy and healthy you have got it all.  I live a very happy and fulfilling life and feel very fortunate and grateful for that.  To my mind, happiness is the difficult element to obtain if you don't have it and weight loss (to ensure I continue with good health) is far easier to obtain! 

With that in mind, I plan to once again have a go at loosing weight.  I want to come down to a healthy 65kgs/143 pounds. 

I'm researching weight watchers at this point in time, reading inspirational weight loss blogs and planning my next step!  I think I'll take it nice and slow this time without too much personal pressure which sets myself up for disappointment.  I will blog my weight loss journey to keep track of my thoughts and progress.  Here's to 2012 being my weight loss year!!
