How I got here... Once upon a time.

My life was a fairytale... well at least I thought it was.



A loving family, supportive partner, great friends, my first real job to kick off my career in Marketing... don't get me wrong I still have all these things and am completely grateful for the life I have, but in April 2006 my world was turned upside down.



On April 26 my mum passed away from cancer and my heart broke; my soul was numbed and empty. This was hard but keeping my family together and sane was even harder.



As the eldest of three children, at the ripe young age of 23 I found myself wearing a million different 'hats' to help out my family and not wearing any to help myself. It didn't take long before people were walking all over me and I was over eating to keep myself distracted. I lost who I was by putting other peoples needs before my own.



Thanks to the support of my friends and family I have managed to keep my cool through this all and now I am looking to get back on track; body mind and soul.


Body: I will follow the Weight Watchers points plan and actually USE the skin products I have.

Mind: I will take time out for myself and relax when my body tells me to.

Soul: Be proud to be who I am; Use my life.


So this is me and my Journey of Discovery. Above is a pic of me (left) and my sis (right).
