OK, so a few years ago I decided i wanted to blog, and i did. Twice. LOL. So now, I have given myself a second chance, after which I shall simply delete this account and send myself to the naughty corner. Right, now that THAT’s out of the way…

I am on a mission to lose weight! Not that hectic “I must lose weight by x date” but more like taking it at my pace and firing any fitness trainer who tries to go all military on my ass. Some people need a push, some need gentle persuasion. I am from that little community that just needs to want it for themselves, instead of feeling like they must. I miss walking into a store without some jackass telling me they don’t think they have anything in my size – and I was just there to look at accessories! I also miss my above the knee skirts. I like my legs. In fact I think I have gorgeous legs. But when they began to look like Nelly The Elephant’s hind legs i thought ” nah, sexy don’t live here no more.” 

So, I started off with some basics that I picked up from successfully thinner chicks: Weaned myself off bread, cut down on chicken with skin, abolished frying in my house, made friends with water, and bought brown basmati rice. Simple. Yet effective. I began to see the airbag that exploded when I had my babies begin to deflate. Jeans became more comfortable. Then I began auditioning trainers. And I found The One.

A lovely Brazillian woman, accent and all, who used to be a size 42 (she showed me her pic, SHOCKER). And is now a sexy 32. This woman encourages me and  calls me on my bull. I love it. She cracks me up…People, if you ever want to get me to do anything, your way in will always be humor with me. She isnt ridiculously ripped and she doesn’t force me into a room full of strangers to battle my baggage. She is a woman who understands the insecurities that come with being an overweight woman. I tell you, I keep reigning the lesbian within in, because this woman rocks. 

The result? Well, since February I have gone from 117cm to 109cm, I have lost 4kg and I am randy again :D. Seriously, the things being unhealthy can kill, like your marriage. The beast is back, I have a new spring in my step and I am determined now more than ever to get to a dress size that makes me walk with pride.

I feel good.
