I made a vow last week NOT to weigh for at least a fortnight as my life would no longer revolve around my weight - and I've kept to it so far.
Anyway about 2 months ago I bought a lovely embroidered denim frock coat that is just gorgeous but it is a size 8(US) and whilst I've been able to ear it I hadn't been able to do up all the hooksand eyes(and there is NO stretch).
Went out today to take Danny for our Sunday morning McVomits happy sausage(I know, but he loves it!!!)It is soooo cold - I appear to have lost all my insulation!!! I tried on my coat and I could do up every single hook!!!!
I am so happy - I can't believe that just over 6 months ago I was a size 20+ and now I have lost the equivalent weight of both my kids!!!
Anyone who is getting discouraged her are some motivational tips that don't involve health etc:
Underwear - Get out of those big knickers!!! Just imagine yourself in some cute little lacy numbers instead!!!
Shopping 1 - You can get into all those lovely little jeans/skirts/dresses and not have to look for the plus sizes!!!
Shopping 2 - Suddenly guys notice you and not 'cos you're sporting an extra tyre around ou're middle - same goes for guys with girls noticing.
Confidence - I certainly noticed a bounce back in my stride and my shyness level has dropped about 10 points - I actually raise my hand in class instead of waiting to get picked on!!!
S*xlife - all of a sudden it doesn't matter whether the light is on or off - you don't care about your unsightly bits - cos they've gone!!!
Hope those few little points can help anyone out there who might be flagging
