Welcome to My Lighterlife Journey

Hi folks, welcome to my blog

I am not very good with these sort of things, as I have never done a blog in my life, but I have noticed that people on
www.minimins.co.uk have alot of blogs, and in my eyes these people know what they are talking about..... They helped me through my first battle and they are helping me now before I start and give fantastic help and support.

I have read peoples blogs and I found them inspirational so I hope my blog will do the same (if not its some night time reading) lol

Love Jodie xx

First Day!

Well I didn't to well for doing it on my own, but got it in my head I am going to enjoy my last week of freedom so to speak haha! Was at the class last night, had a slight feeling that you dont really get the same support as you did first time around, but will soon see has Lorraine the normal councillor was off sick!

So far, have had half a crispy cranberry and raspberry bar (well impressed with those bars), also had a chocolate muffin and banana custard so to speak! lol but really need to get used to lumpy shakes again until i can be bothered looking out the smoothie maker....

Still have the photos on my phone to upload, but just can't find the wee wirey thing to plug into the computer so once i find that will get them up!

p.s bloody freezing

going to go now and watch the footy with the man!

Photos and Me

Well I went into works bathroom today, because I am really busy at work lol and took photos in the long mirror, of the front the side and the face, so thats the start of the photos...I will post these on the night of my first meeting.

Feeling a little nervous today about starting again, knowing what the first week was like for me the last time I started but then again what is one week out my whole life???!?!? I am really hoping that my weight loss is going to be the same as the last time, as in the amount I lost every week...but I know if I think like that then I will be really disappointed with myself if I lose less..so really should stop thinking like this....

Right now I am tucking into my lunch at work, brussel sproat soup!!! so I guess you could say its training for the diet....

My boyfriend Darren sent me a text today and I thought I will log that on my blog for my future reading as I thought it was lovely it said:
"We are going to be great...U'll c xx as 4 the diet, u keep writing the blog ok. Write down everything that comes into your head . xxI am looking forward to taking you next week xx i cant wait to see the new confident Jodie"

Brought a tear to my eye that did!!!! If I have a man like that by my side I know I will stick it right to the end!!

Well I suppose I better go back to work now eugh!!!

Thanks for reading

Introduction

Hello!

Well I suppose I better introduce myself my name is Jodie I am 22 and I am returning to lighterlife!

I stopped going to my classes due to a split up with my fiance of 3.5 years. You know what split ups are like you just go straight for the comfort food which I did and piled on the 44lbs which I lost in 7 weeks right back on and possibly more!!!! So I took it upon myself to start again. It took a lot of battling to start as my parents ARE not supportive (after splitting with fiance i am back staying with them) they think it is a waste of money etc etc etc. But they have to realise it is what I want to do noone else. After talking this through my my FANTASTIC new boyfriend Darren, he said to me its for me and I have been looking forward to starting for AGES and a few others said get your finger out and do what I want to do...

I am starting again because I can't even look at myself in the mirror, so therefore if I can't look at myself who can, I won't let me boyfriend see me completely naked and I know he loves me for who I am what kind of girlfriend does that??!?!?!?.....also I found a picture of me before I put all the weight back on and I look fantastic AMAZING even I would love me never mind anyone else!! So its time to do the time so to speak lol

To keep a track of my weight loss I am going to get a photo of me done every 2 weeks, to see if I or anyone else can see the difference. So I am looking forward to them.

So here I am again, doing a blog this time to keep everyone up 2 date with my progress so feel free to give me feedback. I will get back to you all on the 23rd November 2007....so will keep you posted as to how my first meeting went!

Roll on the 2 second pee stops, the lovely bars, and minging shakes and KETOSIS!

Wish me luck

Me ---> before LL 18stone 2lbs! 5ft 10!!!
