This is me

Ok so I thought the first thing I should do is tell you a little about myself and why I have made the decision to create this blog. This blog is to help me and others through the tough (and I mean TOUGH) journey of weight loss.

So here I go......

I am 27 years old, I live with my partner Dean and my daughter Maddison (Maddie) in Auckland, New Zealand. Currently I am a full-time student at MIT where I am completing a Bachelor of Nursing.

An extremely embarrassing fact about me is that I currently weigh over 100kgs, 105kgs to be exact. I also am wearing a size 18-20 and it sucks big time!!! Ever since I was a teenager I have struggled with my weight. I'm very much a binge eater that uses anything as an excuse to eat. For me food is the big issue!!!

In terms of exercise I very much enjoy it although I need to be in a rhythm, as soon as things start to slow down so do my exercising efforts.

My long term goal is to be 70 kgs and fitting into a size 10-12.

Well that was me, I'm sure you will learn a lot more as I add onto this blog. I would love to meet you if you want to share your blog or information about yourself. Hopefully I can help you on your journey as much as the support of everyone will help me through mine.

Here is a pic of me from earlier this year with my daughter Maddie. As I loss weight I hope to be able to enjoy times like these a lot more often!!!
