WIDTH - Why I do this here

I am joining JackSh*t, GettingFit, in WIDTH.

 So, Why I Do This Here?

I don't want to be fat I want to be thin like I was as a teenager. Now I do realise that I have a different body then I did as a teen I am now a woman. I realise that the figures (number on the scales) does not nearly equate to the mere 40 something Kilograms I was at 18. I also needed to loose the bulge, looking back at the photos I was big for me. I always thought I was FAT not OBESE (that's what my BMI of then said 30.9), It's amazing how your perception is. I thought "oh its only a few kg's nothing to worry about", (exactly like the ad). I look back now and thing how did I go from being 40 something kg as a teen to a 74.4kg 27 year old.

The thing is it was a kg here and before I knew it none of my clothes fit and I was pushing out of my size 12 clothes. It was after seeing my photo from a trip to Canada over winter that I realised I had got fat.

I don't know why it was that photo in particular that led me to notice, there were many FAT photos before that. I suppose I was in denial. I wouldn't go back now. I now eat foods I never would have dreamt of - I can run 5km (even though I haven't officially finished C25K), I can see my toes in the shower (well with contacts of course) and many, many other benefits. 

Now I am focusing on maintaining my weight and toning my body. It is still a daily routine of eat that, I choose this, instead of pies and cakes, get off butt and exercise but that's what normal people do.

Here is my WIDTH card and adjoining photos.
