You look fantastic. Well done.

I do actually, sometimes I look at them and wonder how did I get that big in the first place, why did I let it happen?

I ask myself the same question and I found something really useful on here about emotional eating and learning when you're really hungry as opposed to just fancying something.

My son is also helping me and the other day he said "Don't think of Mcdonalds and foods like that as treats, they aren't. Foods like that are because you hate yourself, how can it be a treat filling your stomach with junk and fat?"

He's right, a treat should be a nice piece of salmon which costs the same amount, or a splurge on some nice fruits that you don't know the names of

I'm happy munching on plums and pears at the moment and bags of Italian salad leaves. Lidle is a god-send for cheap fruit and veggies

Now that is a very perceptive statement, well done that lad. What a great point he's made there.

 

[Quak]

Certainly has!
