Groan...Weight. Why do we, as a current 'society', put so much pressure on ourselves regarding our weight? It's stupid and dumb and annoying, and is ruining our (in particular young girls/women's') lives. I'm not above this, I feel the pressure of being thinner or 'skinny' on a daily basis. I wake up of a morning, and almost immediately look in my full length mirror to criticise my body. Then, as I'm getting dressed, I question why I haven't lost more weight so my jeans would fit better or my top wouldn't be as tight. Throughout the day I try not to think about how I look, as much as possible, and I usually do pretty well at that. I come home, get into my pj's and think about starting a 'diet' the next day. 

Anyway, the point of this is to document how I'm feeling and to almost act as a reason keep trying to lose weight. It's an 'unofficial' contract with myself that by publishing it on the Internet, I have to stick with it. I'll update you with how it all goes - or if I continue eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream from the tub ;-)

Lots of Love, E
