A natural start! (That would be at the beginning)

Making that Change!

I am actually really tired of being the biggest one of my friends! I mean seriously, I would just one time like to not be the biggest person in the room! It's hard enough to be big, but when most of your friends are size 8-10, it's can be so damning to the self esteem.

I've tried diets before. I've failed at most of them. I did lose 5 stone with Slimming World a few years ago, but I managed to put it all back on (and then some!) But now I've come to the conclusion that I have to do something. I just feel miserable the way I am. So after many weeks of my mum and dad going on and on about this woman they met who had lost 7 stone in 5 months at Lighter Life, I figured what have I got to lose!?

Last Tuesday, 16th September 2008, I finally made it to meet a Lighter Life Counsellor. Her name is Sandi. I spent an hour learning more about the programme. And I made the decision to join. To abstain from "conventional" food for no less than 14 weeks!

In addition to the diet, I am TRYING to quit my job. I am in consultation, and I've handed in my notice with the intention of leaving next Friday. But will they let me go? Will they heck as like! At this point, I'd just as quickly wander out the door flashing a quick finger to them all, but I am way too nice to do that! Nevertheless, I shall be leaving next Friday, whether they like it or not. I have another job to go to. Working for my mother. And if I can't give them the finger, she sure as hell can!
