My birthday...

Well, yesterday was my birthday and I had such a great time! My darling hubby & mum took over all the work here at home and I did not have to do anything! Yay! My beautiful boys went with Daddy and bought me a gorgeous bunch of flowers, and I got spoiled with heaps of cuddles and snuggles! So great!
And... I got to go shopping... :)
I needed some new clothes for the cooler months coming. I went to one of my favourite shops and got 3 tops and 2 pair of pants. The best part... I was trying on the pants and thought I had a pair of size 18's, and they fit nicely, but when I looked at the tag - they were a size 16!!!!! So, I am happily wearing them and my new size 16 tops - what a buzz!!
I have even treated myself this weekend and haven't done my usual weigh-in. I'll leave that till next week.
The day finished beautifully with a lovely evening out with my hubby, so nice to sit quietly together and just hold hands without any interruptions!
Thanks to my sweet family for a lovely day (especially as I am a grump leading up to my birthday!)...
Talk to you again soon...

First entry

Well it is just two days to my birthday and I am feeling so down in the dumps!
But I have just read Nikki's blog and feel so much better - the best thing to get you out of the dumps is to hear someone else's great news!
Why am I starting this blog??
well mainly so I can record my weight loss journey!
June 2007 I weighed in at 131.1kgs - how disgusting is that? I decided after seeing a family photo that I had to seriously do something, so I went in for Gastric Bypass surgery. Since then I have lost 30 kgs! Which I am really happy about - but I still haven't got out of triple figures -which I wanted to do before my birthday :(
Anyways - thanks for reading this far with me - and lets hope that as this journey progresses that I keep slwoly disappearing and will one day be the beautiful babe that I keep picturing in my mind!! :)
