Last Wednesday I went to work and had some serious pain, just like before, and I figured I was passing a gallstone. I was right, I was. It got so bad I had to stop working, although I’ve pushed through before. I eventually found myself huddled in a meeting room, with the store manager, HR… [Read more…]

My commitment this round is to myself, my support network, and to Michelle. I commit to treating my body with the love, respect, compassion and care it deserves. To realizing and celebrating my achievements, to realizing and learning from my failures. To being a positive influence, and staying true to myself. I commit to giving… [Read more…]

So this season of the Biggest Loser, as we all know, is all about singles. All the contestants are unattached, and “looking for love”. Makes for good tv I guess. Already there’s rumors of hook ups and some less than subtle hints at possible flings, and also, it’s a bit confronting in the way that… [Read more…]

I found these questions in a blog I follow and thought it was a cute idea. Here goes: 1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? Lost a substantial amount of weight. 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I didn’t make… [Read more…]

I’m so close the the 80s. Today the scales said 90.2. I’m a little frustrated, but I know it will happen when it happens. I just weigh myself too often I suppose. Probably a habit I should try to break. I really can’t wait. Saying goodbye to the 90s will feel good. Saying goodbye to… [Read more…]

Self belief and positivity has always been a bit of a struggle for me. I’ve had teachers, career counselors, my parents, my manager and friends comment about my lack of self belief. I’ve never consciously done it, I really do try to be positive when I realise what I’m doing, but it’s always been a… [Read more…]

This week away at my dad’s place is something I really needed. I miss my family so much and this time of year is rough for them. I felt a lot of guilt not being here for Christmas, so I’m glad I came. That being said, it hasn’t been good for me as far as… [Read more…]

I’ve never been good at setting goals. I’ve never liked it, because I feel fearful of how I’ll react if I don’t make it. I can acknowledge the importance, however, so I feel like I should set a few. In three months: I want to have started uni. I want to feel focused and motivated.… [Read more…]

Today my dad took me to Westfield to get some new clothes. I’ve been wearing old, pre-weightloss clothes for the most part, belted and baggy. I have a few new things, but mostly spare cash goes towards gym classes and workout gear. I look ridiculous all the time, obviously, but because money is so tight,… [Read more…]

With only a few days left of 2011, I thought it seemed an appropriate time to sit and write a reflection. Partly just so in another year I have something to look back at, partly because the changes over this year have been so extreme they really blow my mind. If you had told me… [Read more…]
