This is my time to shine!

I think we all know the feeling when we experience the moment of clarity where we realise that we are fat. Right now I am living that moment.

I am 26 years old, married to a wonderful man, in a great job that i love, surrounded by workmates that acknowledge my skills and contributions and support me when I fall... but I am fat. 110kgs fat. Not just fat... OBESE.

So here I am. I am overhauling my diet, putting together an achievable exercise plan and getting this sorted. For the first time in my life i am not going to be the fat friend or the token fat girl. I am going to match my outsides to my insides. I am going to be 100% me, both inside and out.

I guess i joined this forum as a space to share my journey, be supported, but most of all i feel it is a safe space to document my journey while maintaining a level of accountability.

Here we go... Mission accepted!

It sounds like you're doing it sensibly, good on you! Honesty with oneself can be quite helpful - sadly, a lot of people live in denial and never try to fix their problems.

Thanks Tinkerbella and CronicBadger!

I am up in the Northern Territory - so we are currently in the midst of our beautiful dry season. This means cool mornings, blue skies and lots of sun. I am working to get into a good routine before the wet season sets in and we are dealing with monsoons and cyclones!

I spent the last week working on my diet and getting a plan in place. Tomorrow hubs and I start walking in the morning and hitting the gym three nights a week. I am pretty excited!
