"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." 

- Neale Donald Walsh  



It takes a lot to turn your life around. It takes your time, energy and every tiny microgram of willpower within your being. 

I'm Ashley, I'm 22 and I work at a national newspaper. I love tea to no end, and I'm a self proclaimed QUEEN of diet failures. I've always been a curvy gal and I've never known how to feel about it. I've never known how to deal with my weight effectively or known how to appreciate my body and my self-worth. And it's now, after nearly 23 years of living and breathing, I've realised I've been going about it the wrong way completely. 

So here we are.

Again.

But this time it's different. 

I've never felt this way about a lifestyle change, and I want to use this space to document my journey. From the sky-rocketing highs, to the brutal lows and everything else in between. This is not just another weightloss blog. It's a diary. It's a platform to talk about anything and everything that comes along with changing a relationship with food and with yourself. It's going to be a home for the foreseeable future.

I'm using the WeightWatchers system as I feel it fits in with my lifestyle. I'm using their online plan, as going to meetings won't work with my shifts. I think it works for me? I can't say it's better than anything else because I can't say I've stuck with anything long enough to know! 

So, welcome.
