I have known that fact for awhile - and I am part of that statistic.
But I am also part of the statistic that is trying to lose the weight.
And I am getting there.
16 weeks in and I am around 14kgs lighter.
And that has had a significant impact on my life. Some things are just so different for me already and considering I have around 30kgs left to go... I can only imagine things will get better still.
Some things that have changed already:
- I dont need a seat belt extender on an airplane anylonger
- I dont bulge onto the next persons seat
- My face is slimmer - I see a huge difference in my face, which is startling
- I can slide into a cinema seat rather than wedge myself in
- I am not afraid of sitting on a plastic garden chair anymore
- My jeans are 2 sizes smaller
- I need new clothes - both on my shoulders and on my waist
- My feet are smaller
- I am ok with not having dinner - I am slowly learning that there is enough, that I dont need to eat when I am not hungry, just because people say you should eat now
- I can have a small box of popcorn and know that its enough
- Enough... this has been a huge learning word for me
- Reward is not food - I can get rewards that are good for me and please me to
- The towel nearly closes 100% around my hips
- I have less extra thigh at the back - now just to get rid of extra thigh on the side
- I like to exercise - it irritates me that I cant when I am ill or flu-y
- I havent been to the gym once this year just to swipe my card - each time Ive gone, Ive worked out - and that would be around 7,600 points Ive gained from that
- I swam a mile and I could do it right now again with no panic
- I have the most incredible family and friends around me who support me
- Im finally doing this for me - not for my family, my friends, a partner, a dream man ... for me.
