Sometimes I have to laugh at how the universe decides that you need to hear a message and proceeds to ensure that you hear and heed the message.
I have never heard of the 12WBT before.... until this week.
Wednesday Morning: Heading to work I hear 4 ads for the 12WBT... initial thoughts, that would be cool, but in the hectic chaos of the day, I didn’t think about it again.
Thursday Morning: Again heading to work, I turn on the radio to hear the Michelle is going to be interviewed on the radio later that morning. Again “That would be cool, I should really look into it”.. again get to work, having not really paid attention to the bigger message and got on with my day
Friday morning: 2 more adverts – me thinking “wow they really are pushing this program”... into work, day continues with me taking no action... and here is where the universe clearly decided I needed a bit of a smack upside the head.... Heading down to the car to go home, I drop my keys..... (can you see where this is going???) and hear what sounded like a F18 across the sky ... RRRRIIIIPPPPP... the arse of ONLY pair of work pants that fit, spilt!!!
*insert several swear words here* Turn on the radio and you guessed it ... Michelle Bridges 12WBT! Ok Ok I get it!
So here I am... I signed up Friday night, ( I really couldn’t afford to lose any more clothing!) I went to replace that pair of pants today and in a follow up kick to the guts, I have realised that I have now put on so much weight that I am wearing (and I mean only just) a size 24 pair of pants!
Yep Universe I hear you – and I am checking in.....
So here’s to the next 12 weeks .... Here’s to me being able to fit into a pair of pants again (other wise working from home may need to become a permanent solution!) ... Here’s to see a 90’s number at the end of this 12 weeks..... and here’s to never hearing my pants rip again!!!!
Love your post! It is funny how this happens. I had the universe step in for me too! Looking forward to following your journey. I have a blog too http://nattyj12wbt.wordpress.com/

Hahahaha at the beginning of Round 1 when I started the universe slapped me around too to help me get the message :)
