So where do I start.....

I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember.  In school I was picked on for being fat and endured endless name calling.  I have tried countless ways to lose weight, some more successful than others. But it finds its way back, every time.  

I have tried convincing myself that I could be one of those big girls who is happy with their size but I'm not.  Good on those who can be happy and overweight but it's not for me.  

So today after stepping on the scales I decided it was time for action.  Time to find something that would help motivate me and help me keep on track.  I've tried classes before but begrudge paying for someone to weigh me and have never got into the whole group discussion thing.  Likewise internet weight loss resources only work to a certain extent as it's easy to lose track or lie. 

And then I wondered if keeping a blog might be the way forward. Being completely honest, saying if it had been a bad day, recording all the highs and lows.  And worse still divulging my weight.  Its something I rarely tell anyone but it holds me back and I feel that by getting it out there it might not be such a big scary thing anymore and I can get past it and focus on shrinking it. 

So Friday will be weigh day and I will post my starting weight and weekly updates along with posts on how it's going
