Jezzi - I too call my OH but he's a diamond really. Although he doesnt cook I rarely have to do anything in the house as he does it, he is a bit of a clean freak lol he washes up, he puts stuff in the washer, he hoovers, dusts, irons so I cant complain eh

This is going to sound like a bit of a strange one, i was in the asda today and there were two people coming down the rows at opposite directions, quite close together and not much of a gap and i just walked straight thru..

might sound good, being able to walk between a tight gap, but thats not the nsv.. for as long back as i can remember i have always been good at judging distances by eye, mostly because i didn't want to squeeze between things and get stuck and then have people see or laugh, i've always seen the distance then calculate if i can fit thru it and if i can't i'd find another way around.. but today was different, i never judged the distance before i walked between them, and now thinking back. i haven't been doing it for a few weeks, but i've only noticed it today.

So in the back of my mind do i now think of myself as thinner person (not thin, just thinner then i was), i've noticed when i talk to people when i mention my weight i now talk about it in past tense, 'i was..when i.. i used to be'

i think i am starting to believe it mentally, i'm thinner and healthier. what a great feeling to have on a wet, cold, windy sunday afternoon in november.

A girl I haven't seen in over a year didn't recognise me today. I was talking to another friend and she walked straight past, it was only a few minutes later that she came back and said she didn't realise it was me as I looked like a different person

When someone comes onto your section to do some filing and says I was just talking about you to someone yesterday and told them how you look cracking with your weightloss

That's real avoiding temptation. Ironically I have more difficulty with temptation than i did in the past. For Christmas I go out and buy lots of those big tins of sweets. Not for me, but for the binmen (bloody recycling makes that more expensive), the museum staff i was a trustee of and was responsible for, a community centre i was also a trustee of and one or two others.

I would go and buy half a dozen, and have them in the back of my car over the three to four week christmas period, dropping them off as needed.

Last year I wasnt able to get the community centre sweets until after new years because they closed up for the holiday. It was no problem it being in my car. Didnt feel in the slightest tempted by them.

Now though, it would be plaguing my mind. I could see myself waking up in the middle of the night with a strong desire to open it up.

Im still going to buy them again this year, just make sure I dont hang onto them!

You will be fine Gazter - your too strong willed to let them get to you and undo all your hard work

Being able to walk in to a shop and lift a size 8 pair of trousers and knowing they'll fit when you get home!

 

[Jenna88]

Given how poor I am it could be an option!

 

[SlimmingKitchen]

My work trousers are already getting loose around my thighs and tummy!!

 

[gazter]

"lift a size 8 pair of trousers" makes you sound like a shoplifter lol

I find it harder to smuggle in food and drink into the cinema now, with not so baggy clothes!
