About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

10 reasons why I love Weightwatchers full choice


  1. I feel less guilty about food - nothing is forbidden if I have the points I can have it
  2. I am learning portion control - I hate throwing food away and always feel I have to eat everything on my plate
  3. I am experimenting with food more
  4. I don't feel deprived I can have a treat everyday if I want one
  5. It works - I am losing weight
  6. It means that I can eat the same food as my children
  7. It's about choices - I don't pick certain foods as they are too "expensive" in terms of points this means that empty calories are avoided and I can save myself for the good stuff
  8. I can save my points and have a bit of a blow out
  9. I have no problems eating out
  10. I can eat bread!

But most of all I feel so much more postive about myself


Ooops that's 11!
