So 14 weeks ago today, i gave birth to my 2nd child... a beautiful boy we named Darcy James. We already have a 4 year old girl named Gemma and our lives are now fulfilled with what people like to call a pigeon pair.
Let me give you a bit of background on me... when i met my husband, i weighed 73 kg and was a healthy and happy 19 year old who was not so much into partying but enjoyed a healthy lifestyle. Over the years we were together, i stopped caring so much what i looked like because i knew that he loved me for me and by the time we were married after 4 years, i weighed approx 100 kg. Now after 9 years married and before i fell pregnant with Darcy, i weighed in at 125 kg.
When i was pregnant, i was diagnosed with Insulin dependant Gestational Diabetes and it freaked me out when i found out i had to start injecting myself before every meal. . I vowed to myself that if the pregnancy resulted in a boy, then we wouldn't be having anymore and i had no more excuses for my weight.
And so here i am, 14 weeks later, established with breastfeeding and sick of looking in the mirror every morning and hating how i look. This is it and this time i am going to do it...
I have made an appointment with Weight Watchers lifestyle centre and go on Thursday for my first appointment. I have created this blog so that i can hold myself responsible my actions and can keep a record of my thoughts throughout the period.
My journey towards a healthier me begins today...
