Woohoo, day 7 on plan. Finally, a whole week doing what I intend to do, which is losing weight (well, I guess the real evidence will be tomorrow morning when I stand on the scales) but anyway, regardless of what the scales say, it feels fantastic to be back on track.
I've had a fantastic day at work today, 2 separate people commented on my weight loss, I do think it's finally starting to show, and even I can now tell sometimes when I look in the mirror that there is a lot less tummy to show!
I went to M&S at lunch time to get some new underwear... it was a bit essential as both my knickers & my tights had been falling down, and figured I wasn't looking particularly cool and professional walking round yanking them up all the time! I'd had enough by lunch time so nipped out and got some new stuff. I'm so pleased though, I got some size 16 knickers and they fit perfectly! I tried on petticoats and it's a size 14 that fits best! Unbelieveable... not sure my head has quite caught up, but starting to believe it. The skirt I'd been wearing all day was a size 20, which is getting a bit loose - combined with the underwear situation, just glad I made it to Marks before an embarrassing incident occured!
I'm really starting to believe that overweight is possible for me, and that I really can get to my normal bmi goal this year. Thank you all so much for your kind words & support on this forum over the past few weeks while I've been going round in circles & trying to clear the fug in my head.
I've just done my measurements and I've now lost 11 inches from my waist since I started this, it's incredible. I now have a 39" waist (which I think is officially a size 20 - but clothes seem to say otherwise... random sizing!)
Feeling on top of the world today, and so glad to have found this diet & this forum
