And breathe.....
I've lost 38.5 lbs so far this year and was feeling pretty good about myself, even though I know there's still a long way to go.
Yesterday I saw myself on video - oh my days. Really? I could cry. Gutted is not the word. Do I really look like that? Crawl into a hole and shut the door. 😭
On a positive note I didn't come home and comfort eat. On another positive note: I've lost nearly 3 stone. I can lose another 3. Another 3 after that might be pushing it....but one day at a time. Daunted and dismayed but not done. Where I am now is not where I have to stay. It's something that I have the power to change.
Sorry. I needed to post this. Rose tinted specs came off in a big way. And knocked me for six.
Now to find a big enough hole to crawl into...that'll be a bleeping cave then!

Morning all. A bit late to the party but I'm aiming for 8lbs between now and when the challenge ends.
My plan of action:
* Increase water
* Sleep better
* Reduce sugar
* Reduce UPFs5 -

I'd take a picture of yourself now and have another look at the other to remind you how well you have done, what you have done so far is amazing.

Going to post a STS this week, just weighed in at home with no change. Not going to get to Slimming World this week as I've got a lot of carer related duties to do.
Aiming for any loss next week but 1.5lbs would be the ideal.
@roundtuit you've lost almost 3st, you are doing AMAZINGLY!!!3 -

Thank you all xx I truly appreciate your support 😘
I'm taking heart from the fact that I didn't derail and comfort eat for England. I'm still on track. And more determined than ever to keep on keeping on. This is a marathon not a sprint. Shoulders back. Chin up. And breathe ...
