Wow Alia
That is a great loss
And yes, your hermit ways will start to deminish, as the weight drops off
I am very chuffed that you got through your BBQ today too
Well done
Cleaning up will burn up a few calories
The manfriend(my OH) says, you have to find the joy in every job, so, thats what I would say the joy is in that job
I now have an urge to tidy my kitchen too
That is one of the ways my weight and declining health has made me so down and depressed. I am a cleanaholic, I make no excuses, I used to get up at 3 or 4 am in the summer to hang my washing out and make sure everything was spotless. As I got bigger my ability to continue that has become less which has attributed to my depression. Dont get me wrong, as a woman of 31 + stones I am still able to do stuff, just not as much as I would like. Hec I even find getting up from the couch an ordeal these days. I see things in the house I find unacceptable and cant wait to get it spick and span again. My husband and mum say I am paranoid cause its already uber clean but I pick faults..... I actually enjoy cleaning, I love to keep busy with it, those days are just lut of reach but with each pound off I get a pound closer to being able to do the things I want to do.
BTW i did not clean up, hubby told me to sit down and him and my 17 year old daughter are doing it
Maybe obsessing about the cleaning was the thing you could control ?
I dont know Alia, but maybe as you lose weight, and more options in life become open to you, your cleaning compultion will ease ?
There is sooo much scope out there for you
Oh, and you are no longer a 31+ stone woman
Or indeed, a 30+ stone woman
I quite like the chocolate made hot sometimes, I do it with the stick blender and add a bit more water than for a shake so it's not so thick and gloopy.
Hi Alia, Loving your story!! I've just started, am on Day 2 and I would love to be as successful as you at it!!! Keep up the good work!
