She shoots, she scores, it's a goal!

Yay!

I am overweight!

Yes, I am happy to be overweight! Why is that? Because it means I am no longer obese, I have reached my very first goal of this journey which was to get a BMI below the obese range.

Of course I am only a mere 500gms below obese, it's such a small figure and could easily come back (particularly since we a leaving for a New Zealand holiday next weekend) but at the moment I really don't care, I am just happy to have actually got to this stage, almost a quarter of the way there.

I am proving to myself I CAN do this, I am going to try my best to be good on our holiday but I may have a setback (we are attending a Maori Hangi feast after all) and that is OK because I am getting there, slowly but surely I WILL make it.

Thyroid be damned, it can be done!
