Holiday Countdown!
Thank you guys!!
It's still taking some time to really sink in to be honest. 100lbs.... 200 1/2lb blocks of butter - I tried to count that out at the supermarket for a comparison but after about 80 I gave up if anyone had said to me 'here's (for example) 7 sacks of potatoes, each weighing a stone, you have to carry them around all day'....... I don't think I would be able to for 5 minutes!! It's crazy.
Sometimes I can't comprehend how much I have achieved in this, it really doesn't sink in. I look in the mirror and I often don't see the new me, its like my brain is still registering the obese me and not the new me looking back. Bizarre. There is a mental process I guess I have to go through to start really accepting myself and how far I've come, and emotional journey I think that goes hand in hand with the physical.
But seriously, thank you to all of you for your support - it really means a lot xxxx
