Feeling a bit low this morning so I decided to do a comparison to remind myself how far I have come. I am now in a size 10 (pre surgery bloat) and I literally couldn't be happier. Rewind to when the left side picture was taken,i was in a size 22 and miserable.Loosing weight hasn't just been about how I looked,I mean that is a huge part but it's also the life I have gained as well. I do things now that my old self never dreamed of doing or never thought I would be able to do these things,for years I neglected my body and my health and blamed everything else but me for the size I was.

Weigh in: 15th May 2017

Tonight I weighed in at 8st 3lb (115lb) which means I’ve lost 0.5lb over the last week and I’ve lost 1st 4lb in total since October.

If I’m honest I was a little bit upset/disappointed with such a small loss, but as you guys know I’m REALLY happy with my figure at the mo and I think I’m just reaching my plateau. Losing this last half a stone has been really hard and I think my body just doesn’t want to do it. Anyway, I said this to my consultant and she made the following disgusting comment: “there’s no such thing as a plateau, anorexics don’t plateau.” I mean??? I immediately pulled her up on it and said there’s a significant difference between healthy weight loss and disordered eating, at which point she tried to joke that she hadn’t meant it but no, the damage was done! So I’m switching groups and my new weigh day will be Saturday mornings. I feel like this will be better anyway because I’m good all week and then I indulge a little at the weekend, so weighing on a Monday doesn’t really make sense when I’m retaining water from alcohol. Saturday morning weigh ins make much more sense to me 😊

3lb to go until I hit my target of 8st! 💪 (maybe)

When I see the picture on the left I always view it as a different life,I acknowledge that it was me but I am so different now and my life is the polar opposite from then then it’s hard to believe that it’s me just two years ago. Two years seems like a long time when you say it out loud but the reality is that those two years have flown by and my only regret is that I didn’t start loosing weight sooner. Fast forward two years and I’m achieving things I never thought possible,my body continues to amaze me and I feel guilty for condemning it like I did. I hope that two years from now I will be at my ideal weight and at peace with my body.

To loose more than half of your body weight is no easy task. It takes determination and stamina and that's just the going to group each week! The hardest part is the first initial step,when you decide to make that change and you walk over the threshold of group or the gym. There will be tears and buckets of sweat and maybe even a bit of blood.You have to push yourself harder,faster and further until you think your heart is going to explode out of your chest,then do it again tomorrow. Wake up each day with a positive mindset to smash your goals,there can be no excuses or exceptions after all what you eat in private you wear on public. However with all that said I could not have gotten to where I am today without the continued help,love and support from everyone around me,whether it be people from group,at Zumba,climbing,work etc you are what keeps me grounded and working harder and I wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone.You will never know how much each comment sticks with me and how touched I really feel that u take the time out of your day to comment on the things I post,which I know is a lot and I must bore you all! It has never JUST been about loosing weight,it's also the life I have gained. From the bottom of my heart thank you ❤️
