Feeling like a new woman!



Recommended Posts

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
