HI All,
Sorry I have not really been on here, which has been silly crazy for me and ihave been working 14 hours most days in the last few weeks as well as battling a water and nasty pelvic infection. Thought i best have a catch up and let you know where i am at.
Well Good news is i am still loving exante
On AAM week i stayed the same, it was a little disappointing on my first week back on TS after that to also stay the same, I have however been on antibiotics and pain killers.
It would of been so easy to through the towel in when i became ill and also when the scales did not budge for 2 weeks. I did not and that is because of all the posts i had read on here previously when people were fed up staying the same and everyone said it will happen, focus on what you have lost.
I have also found the Beck's diet book a great help in combating my emotional triggers. My size 12 dress is still hanging in pride of place awaiting its big trip out, lol.
So weigh in today on week 7 and . . . . 5LB off
.
I am so pleased, everyone has started commenting on how different i look, I am back in the 12's and goodness knows how long that has been!!. At the xmas party last year i wore a size 20 dress, the one i have purchased this year is a size 14 and hey you know what it looks good !!
My BMI is 29.6 so no longer OBESE whoop whoop.
I have gone from the girl who hates shopping to someone who can't stop looking for bargain cloth buys and am not looking for long baggy things. Ok I am half way, but my gosh the end is in sight and I can wait as long as my body needs to get there. I am enjoying every step of this journey enjoying the changes to the scale figures, body shape, wardrobe clear outs, mind changes and general mood and happiness. Can actually say when i look in the mirror now (which I do often) I find myself smiling back at the reflection that stares smiling back at me.
SO to anyone who feels like quitting 'if you always do what you have always done you will always be what you always have been' (or something like that).
As i took 2 black bags to the charity shops today I waved goodbye to my size 20 clothes I kept just incase, the size 18 i was wearing 2 months ago, the size 16 Ihave worn for what feels like 5 mins, 25LB, the 14's & 13's forever. Am feeling great.
I treated myself and mum to a makeover hair, makeup and photo shoot, usually hate having my picture taken but am excited this time. We go on Friday and I am having a weekend off plan because i have the directors Ball to attend on the saturday and am staying in a hotel for a couple of night's. This is the first time i have ever gone anywhere official or big night out eg like a party, xmas do and have not been paranoid what i will look like and what people think. Have 2 dresses to take because i can't make my mind up lol.
Promise to upload a picture. So to all my dear friends, you have not been forgotton in the last couple of weeks, far from it, your chats have been replaying in my head keeping me motivated and on track.
Keep at it guys xx
