November 29th 2011

That is my new goal. But goal for what...

Over the last couple of years I have put on weight. I managed to lose enough to fit in to a gorgeous bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding in October 2009 but since then, I've put it back on again. I'm not fat by any means, I'm just not comfortable in my own skin. I have a wardrobe full of clothes that don't fit me and it saddens me.

I had hoped the marathon training would have helped me lose weight, every other time I've done one, the weight has just dropped off but for some reason, this time, it just didn't budge.

I have packed up all the clothes that don't fit me and they are being put away until November 29th. In that time, I will try to lose the weight through portion control, healthy eating and continuing my walking and swimming. If when I come to unpack the bag, the clothes don't fit me they will be given away. If I can't lose the weight by then I continue my healthy lifestyle but accept the fact that I may never again be the size I was when I was 21, I will buy new clothes and learn to love my new shape.

So why 29th November, well I chose November because it gives me a good few months but is before any festive weight gain that may occur. 29th? Well, I put numbers in a bowl and pulled one at random!

I guess to track my weight loss (hopefully) I should post up my weight so I know where I was starting from. Maybe I'll be brave tomorrow?
