If Michelle Can Do It ...

Yesterday I finished work at 3:30pm, went to WHSmith and bought Michelle McManus's book. I came home, got straight into the bath, and stayed there for two hours while I read the entire book from cover to cover. Michelle writes in a way which I can relate to - funny, self-deprecating, and brutally honest. I feel inspired. I think I might even re-read it later tonight.

Michelle has done *exactly* what I want to do - over the course of a year she has gone from a size 26 - my current size - to a size 16 - my "I'd be ecstatic if I got to that size" size.

Can I do it? Well, I have Type 2 diabetes and PCOS to contend with, which Michelle didn't, but although they will make it ten times harder to lose weight than if I didn't have them, I know it's still possible. All the other times I've tried to diet have been for various reasons, but this time I can feel that I'm ready. I can do this. I *will* do this.
