Wow, this is a tad scary. My very first blog. Here I am tipping my toes into the cold waters of "Blog-World" - LOL! Be scared ... be very scared :0)
Okay ... back to business, I'm here to share my thoughts and feelings about what is about to happen to me. No, I won't be 'self-destructing in 5 seconds' ... I have already achieved that! Yep, I 'self-destructed' and ended up at a whooping 131kg. Seriously 131kg! This is where I am supposed to irresponsibly say "How the hell did I get to 131kg??" or "Damn you McDonalds!!"
Wrong, I know how I got to 131kg. I've been stupid, lazy, irresponsible, jealous, angry ... I'm sure I can find more adjectives under my expanding 'overhang' if I bothered to look ;0) After too many 'signs' knocking me on the head to tell me that I was a tad overweight, I let my fingers do the walking on the keyboard (at least they are getting a good workout of late!) and I have enrolled with "Weight Watchers On-Line" for at least three months. Cost me $75, then $24 per month after that, but at least I made that first step ... FINALLY.
I had many 'diet' options to take up on. There's the 'milk shake' diet companies where you spend $100s of dollars on powders and only eat one decent meal a day. I'm sorry, if I lived on powder shakes alone my hubby would rid of me with my escalating moods and it would send us to the nearest divorce courts. There's the ever so popular surgery of gastric banding where I would have to go under the knife and hope like hell I didn't contract an infection like I did with my last operation. (An infection that still emotionally affects me, one of many excuses how I got to 131kg). And I'm a little 'iffy' about eating mush for a couple of months after that operation. I'm going to see AC/DC in February, I can't visualize me eating mush that night with meat pies & hotdogs surrounding me, LOL. And finally there is also your "Jenny Craigs" in the world, goodbye $130 per week!!! Unfortunately I am not Magda Szubanski who got the 'golden deal' of a lifetime from Jenny Craig as well as assistance from super trainer Donna somethingorrater.
Anyways, here I go yet again. Been here, done that many many times. Honestly I don't think I have ever been in a 'healthy weight range', I've always been five or fifty or seventy kilos over that ;0) I've never clothes shopped in proper dress or jeans shops. Its always been BigW or Target for my fat clothes, oh, except for my wedding outfit ... department stores don't sell them ... yet ;0)
So, here I am, staring down a very long road ahead of me. It will be full of twists and bends and many many pot holes. Did I tell you that I'm very good at getting stuck in pot holes??? Fingers crossed I'll travel nicely down the 'healthy highway' with the support of my nearest and dearest here at home and inside the computer. I sure know by know there is no 'support' coming out of a tub of ice cream or wine cask flagon ... LOL
