I have never been told I'm an inspiration before... imagine that, me, an inspiration. Its taking some time to get my head around. I draw alot of inspiration from the posts on the WW Boards and weightloss success stories I've read on the internet and I have started to believe in myself... if they can do it, so can I.
The biggest thing I have learnt is that this is forever!!! I am taking baby steps and making small changes... eating more fruit and veges here and there, drinking water every day etc. What I didnt want to do was go all gung ho in the beginning and not be able to sustain it. I am happy making small changes because in the end they will add up to big changes.
In the past I tried various diets that were restrictive and unsustainable and I kept getting fatter and fatter... until now. Now Im not on a diet and I will never ever be on a diet again!!! I know that it isnt going to be easy but a little hard work never killed anybody. There will be some ups and downs, some good times and bad times but I am determined to live my life, not just exist in it and each little step brings me closer to that goal.
So thanks once again everybody for helping me with these baby steps, your comments and advice are truly appreciated.
You helped me today. I realise that I have a long way to go. I am about to do my screen saver to say "BABY STEPS". Thank you.

Nicky I was on the ww chat tonight (it opens of an evening, you should pop by one day and the topic of you came up. The general thought was that you are the bravest girl we know and everyone is so excited for you! You are an inspiration and we can't wait to see progress shots of you soon!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!

Hey Joanne, I went on chat a couple of months ago once and it was great... the only thing is I go to bed about 9.30pm NZ time (because I have to get up at 5.30am) and chat is hardly ever open then. The one time I did go in, was on a weekend because I can stay up later and I have looked on the boards most weekends since and havent seen it. I would really love to go back on them again and have a chat with everyone. Hopefully we will "speak" soon.
