First entry

Well, this is my first entry for my new weight loss journal. I have been weighed and measured and I almost fainted when I discovered that the "little problem with weight" I was having had actually become 50kg of excess fat that must be removed! I always thought I carried my weight well, but I saw myself reflected in a window the other day and I thought I was looking at some other fat woman! Alas, that blob like vision waddling along holding her shopping bags was in fact me, and so now I have to do something about it.

So, how do I lose the weight? I have decided that I need some help. With a BMI over 40 and my knees about to give way, I saw an ad on TV that told me to go and ask my chemist. Being a sucker for advertising I just could resist, so off I went and now I am on Xenical tablets. Xenical uses a unique way of forcing you to control your fat intake. I call it the "in fear of fat" method. If you eat anything fatty whilst on Xenical you will probably experience a range of things. At the very least you will get diarrhea, you'll probably get what they term "oily stools" which means that you'll be pooing a bright orange sickly smelling ooze, and at the very worst you can get "anal leakage" which means that you can't control yourself and you will have oil running out of your bum without your control. The oil stains like you'd never believe and can range from the afore mentioned bright orange to a weird yellow/green colour and it will probably smell like the food you ate to cause it...ensuring you will never eat that food again.

So, as you might have guessed I have already tempted fate by having a large feed of charcoal chicken and chips and have come out the other end a new person. Yes, the fear of fat has well and truly kicked in.

So, as of today:

Starting weight: 110kg
Size: 24 - 26

Goal weight: 60kg
Goal size: 12 - 14
