WEIGH IN............ 11st 12lb - BMI 29
Not as bad as I thought! I'm going to aim for 10st though which means I need to lose 26lbs! If I reach this goal I will be skinnier than I have been since high school - so am going to try my darn tooting hardest!
Off for some brekkie.....0 -
I'm full of motivation after that not so horrific re-acquaintance with the scales - just been in and re-jiggled my shop for tomorrow and I can now declare that this should bring my food shop UNDER BUDGET!! for the month!
. It may only be by a few pence but I am mega chuffed 
Yay! to feeling in control and on top of things instead of drowning
Now to start filling up the "Scared Fund"
