You know, something I hear quite a lot about is this “snap” where someone’s mentality totally changes.  Without it we can still lose weight because of motivation or willpower or sheer stubborness to change, but for a lot of us these aren’t always permanent.

I don’t know, but I think I’ve experienced this “snap”.  I know I’m not exactly old (!!) and I’m not depressed either - unlike many of my similarly aged peers - I have a lot to look forward too.  But it’s like last night I just had this clarity.

It’s not that I don’t want to be a fat mummy or a fat granny or a fat girlfriend or just that fat girl on the beach in a poorly fitting bikini.  I CAN’T BE.  Failure is less than an opportunity, it’s not possible.  Because I’m not going to increase my risks of diabetes and heart problems and other health problems too.  I’m not prepared to waste my life away.

My life is precious and I want to savour all of it.  I will succeed, because that’s the only option.  I’ll let you know how I progress with that…
