Rough roads ahead

The past two weeks have been amazing, I lost 8 1/2 lbs, in 2 weeks!! Then I got a cold...what is it about being sick that makes us (read me) unable to resist crap? This week I've had pizza, chocolate, Burger King, cakes, cookies, and the list goes on. Having a cold is hard enough, but add an 8 month old and a tiny cold becomes a nightmare. I was so busy and exhausted  tending to TH (tiny human) and feeling sorry for myself that I didn't feel like planning my days like I normally do. I also ad it I didn't track...at all!  I just grabbed whatever was close and easy. I think because i missed my regular meeting I didn't hold myself accountable. Anyway, sob story over! I am going to try to hit a meeting tomorrow and start fresh. I am feeling better now, its time to start fresh! 

Beginning Again

My 30th birthday, March 2014. (6 months pregnant)

I've always been overweight as long as I can remember. I never developed a healthy relationship with food for whatever reason I always used it for comfort. When I was stressed or angry, upset, sad, happy, whatever emotion I had food always made it better. I've tried so many ways to lose weight. When I was in America, before my wedding, I was even looking into having lap-band surgery. I must have been well over 400lbs approaching 450, I don't know for sure because I never stepped on a scale. Well fast forward 5 1/2 years, I'm now married, living in Cork with my husband and my beautiful daughter. Since moving here I've been able to lose some weight. I'm now 370lbs or 26st 4lbs. I rejoined Weight Watchers for the third time in January. I've decided to start a blog with hopes that it will help me stay motivated. I need to lose weight at this point in my life. I've got a small baby girl who's almost 8 months old. She needs to have a positive role model in her life. Someone to teach her to love herself and her body, someone to teach her to have a healthy relationship with food. Someone to chase after her in the park and ride bikes with. 

The birth of baby Caoilainn, June 2014

There are so many things I want to be able to do with her that I don't think I could do now, at my current weight. She is my motivation. I am going to try my hardest this time to follow through with my goal. So I hope that you will join me on my journey. It's going to be a long one, but mamma's losin it...one way or another!
