The journey has begun. Today I joined a gym and bought some clothes to train in. I want to slim down and prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes. I thought I’d start a thread for my journey and start posting about the journey. Hopefully it will see an improvement in my mental health too due to all those feel good chemicals.
So, this is Day 1... I’m nervous but excited at the same time.

I have a sweet tooth too and would be sorely tempted by that toblerone sitting in your fridge ..... would you consider throwing it out :o? Hey TABs how are you going? I went for another walk with neighbour this morning and there were drunks around again. Can't escape them here. I have been very good but did just sin and had thre lint chocolates of my son2 :o. So just lettuce leaves and water for me tonite......

I always get chocolate etc for xmas but I did request no junk food this year and I got more than I usually do.......so great to see that no one listened to me.
