Now I am 27, and something has to change!
I have had a bit of a revelation today, soon I will be 30, I do not want to greet that milestone as a dress size 30, and frankly if we carry on that trend by 50 they will have to cut me out of the house, not what I want for myself.
I don't know how much I currently weigh, but it is around the 22 stone mark, I am 6ft, so this puts my BMI very firmly into the seriously obese category.
Tomorrow I have to go to a business meeting at a theme park, last time I was there I couldn't go on any of the thrill rides as the overhead restraints don't fit over my chest, I really don't want that embarassment in a business setting.
Also DH and I have been TTC #1 for 8 months now, and not so much as a late AF. I can't believe being so overweight is helping at all, and of course at my weight there is increased risks of all sorts of complications.
So I have decided it is time to reverse the trend, hence the namechange. Today I have been for a swim in my lunchbreak, and it was great. Will also have a chat with DH tonight about dropping the take-aways and cooking a bit more.
I have signed up for membership at my local pool so I can now drop in whenever. I plan to keep my swimwear, towels and easy clothes to change into in the car, so I can go on a whim. I know if I have to go home and collect my things, I will just stay at home on the sofa.
I only planned to do 10 lengths today, but once I was in there got to 25, so pretty pleased.
Anyway, thank you if you made it through that essay! I am mostly posting this to keep myself inspired and remembering why I am doing it, but if anyonw has any tips, inspiration or wants to join me on my journey I will be super grateful!
