Comfort Zone

I'm in my comfort zone - if I don't try to lose weight then I can't fail BUT it is now at the point where I NEED to lose it!

In my adult life I have never been this heavy: 12 stone 5lb (approx 78.5kg, 173lb)
I'm 5'2" (1m58)
I'm 44 years old
My BMI is: 31.6 (Obese category)

Healthy Weight range: 7st 3lb - 9st 11lb (I would look awful at 7st 3lb - aiming for 8st-9st)

I grew up in Cardiff, Wales which is quite a small city, I've worked in London and Brussels and walking around those cities at night is less scary than the journey I'm going to be starting! 

My biggest fear = failure again! I know people who are so discouraging - they say - oh no not again. You were supposed to be on a diet (insert time here) and it didn't work etc etc! Being this weight puts me in my comfort zone and the biggest step I can make from this day is to step out of this comfort zone and start on a journey which would change my life for the better!

I think dieting is 1% healthy eating 99% mental attitude! 

I know I can do it - I went from 11st 4lb after having my eldest son to 8st 7lb in about 6 months! OK I'm 20 years older - but it can still be done!

"putting on my climbing boots [mentally]" Let's get going...
