Day 1

Ok for those who know me well you will know what hell I have been through the last 3 months.  Losing a Father is never easy, but when it is a shock, and when he was so young, it is quite simply hell.  The sadness is unbelievable and coming to terms with it is really hard.  I can now admit I really went to pieces, eating and drinking my way through it, which was neither smart, or infact helpful and the complete opposite of what Tom would have wanted me to do, which only made me feel worse.  So I got to my 40th, not fabulous as I had wanted to be, but quite simply fat!  Something has changed however and I feel totally motivated again, I don't want to die young and I want to be able to really enjoy life and be more active.

The blog I wrote last time really helped, but I can't bear to go back to it as it reminds me of another time and how much I lost and then put back on, so I have created another one and am treating it like a totally fresh start.

My lovely husband has booked a first class trip to Mauritius for our 40th's and I don't want to be mistaken for a whale on the beach, so have 5 months to lose 3 stone, and that is my new goal!

Wish me luck and help me along the way if you can.

Lots of love
