Half way there
I’ve just realised - it’s week 15 of my diet so I’m half way there. Both in terms of time and even better in weight too.
Having tried my dress on recently I’ve been able to revise my necessary weight loss for the wedding. It’s much closer to fitting than I expected it to be so I don’t think I really need aim for 10 stone. I think somewhere between 10st 7lb and 10st 10lb will be just about right.
It has to be said I’m feeling great - mostly because I’m now a size 14/16 and everyone keeps telling me how fab I look. Certainly shopping is fun again! It’s a bit of a rush really.
In some ways I can understand how people become obsessed with achieving a really high level of control over their eating, but it’s not for me. I don’t want to become a rake, but I do think the health benefits of losing my blimphood are significant. I feel more energetic, and I haven’t had indigestion in months, and sometimes I even get the urge to run.
Perhaps now I can relax a bit and have a few chocolates over Christmas.
