Fighting the Fat

Since November 2009 I have been attending Weight Watchers to aide my weight loss journey. I am still on that journey having lost 1 stone 2lb's so far and still have 4 stone to go. There are many things that motivate me to lose the weight, some of the biggest things were being asked to be a bridesmaid at my friends wedding and also having my brothers wedding to attend. Despite these goals there are still times when I forget how important the weight loss is to my health and general well being and all I really want to do is 'say blow' it and eat a whole chocolate cake and lots of ice cream! There are thousands of reasons why I should lose weight and none for why I shouldn't. This blog is to help keep me focused on my goal and motivated to get there. You never know it may help inspire some of you too!

Reason 2.

To be able to walk into any shop and be able to buy my size in a style I want... I hate the fact that at the moment I have to be selective about where I shop. There are many stores now that choose to stock up to a maximum size 16. I am just a 16, but it tends to be that the size 16's are even a little smaller than they should be. Or they stock small, medium, large and x-large and having to worry whether the x-large will be big enough!

Being on the larger size also means you have to be very selective about the styles you buy, otherwise you end up looking like a fat person trying to be skinny! I also find that shops that sell clothes for the curvier woman are often unflattering, and you end up looking like your wearing a tent! I just can't wait to shop in places like Jane Norman, River Island and Topshop again, be able to pick anything up and know that it will look good.
