I'm 39 (nearly 40).
I'm 5ft 1.5 and I'm 13 stone 2lb and I wobble.
I'm a 16 on my bottom half (I discount my top half because I'm very well endowed in the chest - I need an 18 or so in "normal" clothes, but can manage a 14 in Bravissimo stuff) and it has to stop.
Yesterday, I was called grandma by the neighbours adult son when I went to collect my DS and he was visibly shocked when DS said mum.
I'm hot, sweaty, chaffing in this heat and I hate myself.
I've flirted with weight loss before (see previous threads!) but I binge and self sabotage because I'm scared that if I really try, then I will fail; so I sneak chocolate & crisps and I hide food in my desk at work. I blame the fact that I'm pre-menopausal for my failings.
I'm terribly unhappy with myself and I don't want DS to look back as I do with my DM and realise that an entire childhood holds no photos of us together - or out of focus ones which aren't memories.
So, on one of the hottest days of the year, I'm saying enough is enough. I'm going to listen to my body and not eat because I feel I should - only when I'm hungry.
It's hot this morning and I'd normally be cooking a grill up in the kitchen. DH has offered me breakfast, but I've said no. I'm having a coffee the way I like it, and I'm content without the food.
They say weight loss is 80% food and 20% exercise. I can do both if I put my mind to it.
I will do this. I have to do this.

This is it. I've had it. I've really got to do it.
