Introduction

The time has come... the time to do something about my weight. This blog will follow a journey; my trials and tribulations and hopefully successes with the battle of the bulge. For too long have I been a member of the Fellowship of the Flab.

I will be setting myself goals, tasks and rewards for the journey ahead to make it more interesting. I invite you to follow my progress and support me during the hard times and laugh with me during the good times.

Thank you, one and all.

First Day – 15 Stone exactly

Today is the start of my challenge and the recording of it on this blog. I plan to write about my temptations, my problems with being overweight, keep track of my weight loss and BMI (Body Mass Index) figure. As today is a Saturday, I will weigh myself every Saturday morning and record any weight loss/gains and so forth. I am looking forward to this challenge, which is more of a challenge to change my attitude to food and eating rather than a diet. In fact, if anyone asks me, I will say I am not dieting – I will just try and eat normally.


One of my tasks is to take a photo of my face on the first day of each month and post it on this blog. So here is the first one. Please be kind as I was extremely tired and hot when this was taken!


I feel today has been a good start. I volunteer on a Saturday at the SPCA here in Malta and I often take goodies in to treat the staff (as they need looking after too) and I usually partake in the goodies myself (chocolate, biscuits, pringles etc). However, today I did not take anything in with me and I have stuck to my meals of the day rather than eating all day (as it is so easy to do at the weekend).


So raise your glass of water to the first day of the challenge!

    Hey hun congratulations on your first day of your challenge! You did fantastic not eating any crap today. I don't think I could do it - I would tell you what I've eaten today but that probably isn't very fair to you, ha ha! I'm rooting for you every step of the way and am looking forward to the photos each month - always good to see ya!
