It's taken a while, but I can finally SEE a difference in my size between my neck and me feet!
I forgot to say yesterday, I am only .800 grams off reaching TWENTY KILOS gone (since moving here in 2016).
20 kilos... and I'm only just starting to see the difference!
That's crazy.
Today I am going through my wardrobe. I've got a lot of clothes stored in suitcases that I want to go through. I know not many of them will fit me yet, and some will no longer appeal to me... but I feel like it will be good motivation for me to keep up the good work.
I might even start to throw out some of my current clothes! Bit scary to think of doing that, as I've been 'here' before, thinking I'd be a totally smaller size come 'summer/winter', but never am. But hey! I think I will be smaller this coming summer!
Smaller. Healthier. Happier.
So that's my plan for the morning at least.
Tonight I'm going to the FBG Quiz night at the Good George pub. I've not been in ages, so I'm quite looking forward to it.
ONWARD...
WOW! That has got to be the best morning in a long time!
So GOOD to go through all my clothes and throw out about a third, and know that this summer I will have clothes to wear!
Some clothes that I've not worn in YEARS in fact.
And... and... I found some that I can wear RIGHT NOW too! They are in the washing machine as I sit here.
It was such a good feeling doing that.
I got a few more photos:
I've had a lovely afternoon. Hayley stayed for quite a while and chatted, which was neat.
After she left I had a very late lunch, and then did bugger all. Well, no not really. I've done quite a bit of washing, rotating it all through the drier to air it off.
Dinner tonight is 'Get it Yourself'... though I've got franks out of the freezer for them to have with Spaghetti or Baked Beans on toast. I'm going out!
Well... Stew ended up joining us FBG's for Quiz Night! We needed his sports knowledge! And he certainly helped. Our team ended up coming 3rd, which is great! Better 3rd than last. *smiles*
Time to wind down for the day now... it's been a neat day!
Shrinking boobs are great !! Yes, you are looking much better and if it's any consolation I've been reasonably low carb now for seven years and have only regained a small amount of the weight I lost. In the past I always regained all the lost weight and put on more! Low carb has been the only "diet" that has allowed me to live normally and not worry about the great swings in weight lost and gained. I'm pretty sure you'll find the same will happen with you. It's very freeing to be not controlled by food as I certainly was.
ReplyDeleteDid you see this wonderful article about Cambridge yesterday? You are so lucky to have moved there!!! https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/105705067/expressway-the-making-of-cambridge

ReplyDeleteWow good before and after photos and can definetley see a difference and I bet you are chuffed to bits with such a good weight loss and things will only get better health wise and you will keep away from the insulin.One question I have been meaning to ask but do you have retinal screening done in NZ? Us diabetics receive a letter through the post inviting us to go for a scan where they put drops into the eyes to make the pupils go larger then after around twenty minutes you go not a darkened room and have four photos taken two for each eye then two weeks later they send you a letter letting you know if everything is fine or whether they have found any retinal damage being done...Wendy(UK)
ReplyDeleteYou are looking fantastic. Huge difference!!! Get rid of those clothes. I'm in the same position. Lose 20 kilos, put on 25, endless cycle. This time I'm going down down down and I'm gonna rid of most of those huge clothes. Don't them hanging around!
ReplyDeleteSell em and get yourself a 'new' wardrobe!!! Be good to yourself.
BRAVO
If you could lose the weight, but keep the boobs, THAT would be great!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll donate your old clothes, not throw them away.
Looks like you had a fun night out!
