In the begining...

FAT:  (fæt)
Adj:
Having too much flabby tissue 
Corpulent ( I like that one...)
Obese
Plump

Noun:
The best or richest  part of anything.

Hi my name is Sonja-Lee and I am ALL of the above.

However after careful consideration I have decided to shift the pounds... 84 to be exact, much to the dismay of all the fatphiles out there. I have also decided to document my journey as truthfully as possible via this medium. Mostly in the hope that sheer shame will keep me on track, knowing that people will be following my progress as well as having a record of how far I've come. You have my permission to stop me in the supermarket if you see me picking up inappropriate foods or beverages and to tell me to put them back... even if I say I'm purchasing said items for a 'friend' I can tell you from now it is a lie! A lie from the pit of hell!!!

My diet of choice is the Cambridge diet (other weight loss plans are available) which is effectively a meal replacement scheme- its not fun, but my counsellor assures me that in 17 weeks I'll be svelte and sexy. I had to remind him that I was sexy already but I was looking forward to reuniting with the inner skinny me.

Well I don't want to bombard you with too much on my first post. I look forward to hearing from you - maybe with some tips or words of encouragement. Heck even haters are welcomed as you comments will only serve to propel me.

I haven't started yet- my 'tomorrow' is yet to arrive as I always remember the 'last meal' I just have to have so that it doesn't haunt me during the process... It looks like I'll be starting on Monday 21st February, just so that I have enough time to empty my kitchen of the good stuff :-)

Until next time...

Sonja-Lee xx

    LOL@reminding your counsellor that you're already sexy! I am so very proud of you for pursuing your goals and bow down to you for using this medium. But, alas, whatever it takes to serve as that motivation, it must be done. I won't be able to stalk you in supermarkets, but a friendly word of encouragement, from time to time, can't hurt, I'm sure. XO.

    Hi Sonja,

    Congratulations on taking the step to change something about yourself that you don't like rather than just sit and moan about it.

    I wish you every success especially when faced with those cravings your body will throw at you when you need them the least.

    May your resolve remain strong in the face of every temptation and may the grace of God sustain you through the process.

    I look forward to reading all about the journey.
