Believe

I originally started this blog when I was told I needed to lose weight to conceive as I was only ovulating from one side. In the end I never used it as I conceived that month lol! But now I have 115lbs to lose in total so time to try again, please bear with me :)

So I have decided to get myself a new tattoo. I want 'Believe' on my right wrist so that every time I start to doubt myself I can look to that for inspiration. This isn't just for my weight loss journey but for everything in my life. I suffer from a lot of self doubt (like so many others) but I know that when I do believe in myself it makes me a stronger person and I can achieve great things. About 6 years ago I became a gold member with WW, I lost 54lbs and got down to a UK size 10, I felt amazing! I had total confidence in myself then that I could do anything, I believed I could get to goal weight and therefore I did. Over the last 6 years I have got married and had 2 lovely little girls and I have put on a lot of weight. But I am now putting faith in myself that I can lose the weight again. I am going to believe in myself.

Since my youngest was born at the beginning of August I have lost 2 stone (28lbs) so I am on my way. I still have 87lbs to go but I am taking every day as it comes. I am trying to do a little bit of exercise every day and trying to stay within my WW points. I have days when I'm right on track and I have days when I slip but the main thing for me is that I am trying. I am hoping to use this blog as a place to confess when I sin and jump for joy when I behave. I'll probably add some photos in as well along the way. I like the idea of getting to my goal weight and having this to look back on.
