New year, new me...

"Failure is success if we learn from it"



Yeah yeah, you know the old saying, "new year, new you"...

This year, it's my turn.


Last year I managed to shed 24kg. This year I plan to shed another 25kg+.

I wish I could just pop a pill and get the same success others seem to have, but what would I learn doing it that way? What I have learnt along the way I don't think I would've if I was to rely on something other than myself and my willpower. Hopefully I will have more success because I've done it the hard way, the "real" way, not the easy way.

Well, I guess I should put up a before picture. I have one in mind. It's when Darcy was 12 weeks old, so September 2003. All I have to do is find it. It truely is hideous, but oh well, you get that ROFL! It was me at my heaviest, 128kg!!

It's funny though, when I weighed that much, I never saw myself as being that big, that is until now, being 93kg, and looking back. I was one HUGE mofo haha!!

I know I'm still overweight, but geez, it feels SOOOO good to weigh 93kg!! I don't remember the last time I weighed under 100kg. I can go into Target, grab a size 18 off the shelf, and it will fit! Sometimes the 18 is too big!I know I was 116kg when I got pregnant with Cooper, and 106kg when I got pregnant with Mia. My absolute highest was when I went into labour with Darcy - 138kg! Mia's labour was 126kg - not cool.

Guess I better go dig out that picture ...

*exhales deeply*
