Amy's Weight Loss Journey
It begins tomorrow...
I was going to wait until 2009 began but I had a thump in the chest earlier tonight when a photo of me was "tagged" on Facebook for the world to see. It was taken by a friend who attended a Christmas Party at my house two weeks ago. He took the photo while I was in the kitchen with DH. The photo was a full length shot of me - from the back.
It's funny how your mind and your eyes can trick you into looking slim in the mirror. This photo was a harsh realisation. I am FAT. I am OVERWEIGHT. I am no longer the thin, attractive girl I was a year ago.
Sure... I've had a tough year. There is a million things I could blame the weight gain on. But reality is - I've put on nearly 15kgs in 12 months. I'm too lazy to get up and walk every morning like I used to and I'm too tempted by food I know I should not eat.
It ends tonight and tomorrow is a new beginning. I will wallow tonight but tomorrow morning I will wake with a new attitude.
It's time to bring back the old me.
