It's sort of a shock

Yesterday I found out my youngest sister is planning on moving back to Western Australia with her three kids, I understand her reasons as she must do whats best for the kids, but I'm going to miss her terribly. No more Friday night scrapbooking, no more getaways, no coffee, long phone calls or impromptu visits.
My dd is also really considering moving there as well, as there are no job prospects here. She's 21 and doesn't have a life, she goes nowhere, sees no-one, just stays at home and keeps me company, for which I am very grateful.
I will miss them all so much, my dd and I both cried yesterday whilst discussing the pro's and cons of such a move, and what it would mean for her.
She's worried about my mental state, who would be there for me if I had a relapse and went down again? Hopefully I did my best to convince her that I was okay and that things would be fine. I don't want her staying here on my behalf, there's nothing here for her.

My first post

This is my first ever blog and post...I have decided to do this as a means of recording my weight loss. I am not going to call it a diet as I will fail... I will call it a lifestyle change, I have chosen to make a start on New Years Day, along with quitting smoking.
The hardest part is going to be giving up chocolate, that is my biggest downfall. I will be following the weight watchers point system as it has worked for my sister, she has already lost 9kg without exercise.
Hopefully by putting this on the internet will keep me motivated.
I am also going to scrapbook my journey, by taking a photo every month and making a LO of it.
