Life changes. These need to happen

This is the start of my weight loss journey.

I will update this weekly.

Here's the deal.

I've never been "skinny". 

In my last year of high school I was my smallest. An AU size 14. (US 10)

I would love to get back to that again.

I have no shame in stating my start weight.

I'm currently 87.9 KG. Or, 193 lbs. 

My goal is to drop to 60 kg. Or, around 132 lbs.

I know I may never FULLY reach that goal.

But I will TRY.

This isn't about losing weight fast. There are no "quick fixes".

I was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic.

My Doctor told me I was only ONE point away from being diagnosed as having type-2 diabetes.

I have higher than normal cholesterol (which is hereditary on my dads side) and it's kicked my ass into gear.

I am 34 in less than 2 weeks. 

TWO YEARS younger than my dad was when he passed away in 1989.

He died from a massive heart attack. Also from the early stages of heart disease.

I've also had gallbladder issues since 2009. 

When I was at my heaviest. 

117KG. 257lbs. 

2009:

Christmas 2009. Last pic is from mum and my stepdads wedding. 

Now we come to the most recent pics. 

No where near as big as I was, but I'm still a fatty. lol

I know this is going to take time and effort. A lot of hard work.

I would love it if you could come on this journey with me!

Till next time, have a good one!

I adore this company. They sell makeup brushes and cosmetics that are NOT tested on animals.Which is something that I feel strongly about. The makeup, the brushes, the site itself..AMAZEBALLS!
