Rediscovered

Goodness, it's been a while since I've been on this blog. In I'm only posting today out of coincidence. I was bouncing around random blogs and I must somehow have been log on via Google and it brought me here.

2012

It's quite fitting really. When I was last posting on this blog I though I had such a long way to go but in the two years since then I've set myself back hugely. I've recently been looking at photos from 2012 and although I know I wasn't happy at them at the time, now I realise that I looked so much better than I thought.

 

I'm in a bit of a funny place at the moment; a motivational dip if you will. Last October I broke my foot and although I was a little over what I weighed last time I posted here, it wasn't anything dramatic. But since then my activity level has fallen through the floor, my discipline when it comes to food is more or less zero.

 

2014

My foot hasn't healed and all those things that I thought were barely activity turned out to be hugely important. I can't jog, can't zumba, can't body combat. The problem is that those were the things I liked doing and now I am stuck with the things I don't: swimming, cycling, gentle walking. I find them frustrating and so I struggle to motivate myself to do them.

There is another thing that has made my rediscovery of this blog rather timely. This morning I realise that my brother's wedding (which has been years away for as long as I can remember) is actually only next year.

I have a year to get my act together. I don't want to be a short dumpy bridesmaid again.

But it's more than that. I know that loosing weight comes with downsides. I've done the loose skin thing and the stretchmarks and the fortune on new clothes and still feeling like the same fat girl. Positive body image is a good thing, but good health is another and I can already feel the aches and pains that the extra weight is causing. I don't want to have full blown arthritis in my forties. I don't want hip replacements or wheelchairs or high cholesterol.

So, let Wobbly Bottom Girl recommence!
