I'm not usually a 'tell all' type of a person, but given I've started this blog, and it's supposed to be about all things me, it wouldn't be right if I didn't mention that I'm on a diet. A friend of mine (bloke from work), used to call women he thought were attractive but overweight 'chunky but funky'. It's a bit offensive, but he was that kind of bloke. Thing is, I used to think I was too fat to even fall under that terminology. I've been overweight for a while, but it wasn't till I gave birth to my second son that I realised I'd fallen into the obese category. Gutted. I'd always thought obesity meant you were huge, and I suppose I was, just not as huge as I'd thought you needed to be. Anyway, after 'H' was born in February, and I turned 30 in March, I decided that two babies was enough, my twenties were over and I needed to take back some control over my body. I joined Weight Watchers in April, and have since lost 1st 9lb, whoop! According the the NHS BMI table, I still need to lose another 2st(!) to be at my ideal weight. Wish me luck!
