Ok, I know I should be working but it has been a tough morning so I am taking 5 minutes out to see if I can write a post from work...it seems so, though no photos will be attached.
It is Day One of the Fatty Challenge, which is being undertaken by myself and my lovely sister over at Poppies and Daisies (if I knew how to create a link I would, but still learning).
So far today I have had Special K and some yoghurt for breakfast, plus a cup of tea and have just eaten a banana...in WW terms I would calculate that to be 4 points so far...I am STARVING!! One of the big problems with doing something like WW is that your whole world revolves around food...how many points, what to have for a snack, what is for tea...you think about it ALL the time. I don't want to be like that.
Actually, I wish I could just be happy with who I am and the way I look already. OK, I am a few kgs over weight but not too bad. I think this is a problem that arises when working with too many females. They just seem to be obsessed with it. I would have thought this would have been a younger persons problem (me being 34 I consider myself young still) but it appears not, the Admin ladies at work range from me up to 60 and all go on about weight all the time...it really is quite tedious and boring and I ask myself why I even bother getting caught up in it?
My honest reality is that I would like to lose 5kg, not because I want to be skinny (cause lets face it, 5kg would not put me anywhere near the skinny category), but it would help me fit the lovely clothes that I have in the spare room that I wore 2 winters ago when I felt good about myself. Now everything is a bit tight, a bit short and a bit bulgy. 10kg off would be marvellous and I would be feeling like a supermodel but I will be realistic and strict...I have until July 10th when I go to America. I want to buy some new jeans over there so losing the muffin top would help with that task.
I actually have some pants that will be a good guide. They were a fantastic fit two Winters ago, now tight...nasty tight...so if they fit by America time, I will be happy. Maybe I can take a photo in them (nasty) and post it...plus one each week for progress...yes, that is what I will do.
I will apologize now for the nasty tight pants shot that will be posted later!!
Now...back to work....

I just popped over from Poppies and Daisies. I think clothes are a better indicator than the scale as far as weight is concerned. I know I need to shed a few kilos too because my jeans just don't feel right.
