Feeling like a new woman!

Hey Guys :)

I'm now just over two weeks and I have the following points to note:

  • I'm down two sizes already!
  • I went for lunch today and was totally satisfied on about a quarter of a starter portion of prawns and avocado!
  • I'm all of a sudden interested in clothes and shoes again!
  • I've started to wear lipstick again!
  • My spots are clearing up!
  • I splashed out on some posh body firming moisturiser!
  • I no longer have a nap during the day whenever I can!
  • I'm smiling more!

And the biggest and most wonderful change of all - I feel at peace :biggrin0:

I no longer feel like I am constantly fighting against my urges and cravings. I don't feel like my body and my brain are having a tug of war. I no longer feel angry and bitter about my weight. I feel wonderful!

:thumbup::001_wub::biggrin0::lol0::thumbup:

Hooray for the sleeve! I hope some of you share the same happiness now or with time. xxxxx

I had another great moment today!!

The guys in my office do a weekly run to the bakery on the corner. In the past I have always accepted a cake, eaten it, then felt guilty for the rest of the day, OR I would have tried to be good and said "no thanks", then sulked for the rest of the day because I felt deprived.

However, today was the first time EVER that I said "nothing for me thanks" and actually meant it! I didn't want anything, and didn't feel angry and bitter watching everyone eating theirs when they arrived.

This tool is such a blessing. I hope I never take it for granted.

Brilliant, sounds like it's all going well.
