Day One - The Last Beginning


Hello from me in skinnier days!!
 Well, the title of this blog says it all!  If you look up the definition of "YoYo" dieting you will find a picture of me!  I have lost and gained weight that many times that it isn't funny.  I have even lost 24 kg's and 14kg's only to put that all on again and some more.  I won't bore you with all the details in my first post but will tell the story as we go along.

I have had two blogs before but felt like I needed a fresh start.  My goal is to blog every day to help keep me accountable.  I am 43 years old and live with my fiance of 4 years and our slightly mad dog.  I have been married before but that ended - in part to my weight but also in response to an affair.  I am sure that I will write more about this in the future.  I work as a Child and Adolescent Psychologist in Melbourne and work with a brilliant team of people/

Currently I weigh 72.6 kg after losing 4.5kg on my own. I am only 4 foot 10 in height so you can see the problem!  My goal is to try and get to around 45-50kg whichI have done once before.  Interestingly I was born only weighing just under 3 pounds so things have gone steadily down hill.  I know I am a comfort eater which I am working on slowly.  I have literally read nearly every 'Diet' book on the marked and have joined Weight Watchers so many times that I have lost count. 

I will write more tomorrow but for now that is enough!
Love Karen xo
