Overall though I'm only down 2lbs from the first measurement on my weightloss graph (186lbs) and I think I've been deluding myself that I've been making more progress than I actually have. I'm still over 13 stone which is the heaviest weight I usually ever get to, so I still haven't got to the weight I usually start a diet at.
At night when I'm feeling a bit hungry before I fall asleep I feel my stomach and have been kidding myself that it feels a bit smaller.
Now I'm not trying to rain on a parade - because I've decided to do this the healthy way and make it a lifestyle choice I know its going to take time. But if I get ahead of myself I'll start rewarding myself with treats or relaxing back into old habbits and that won't help me at all!
So I dug out my other pair of jeans and tried them on. They are size 14 straight leg. I bought them the weekend before I came back to uni after the summer and they just about fit. They were snug and a bit uncomfy if I was sat down for a while, but they were wearable. They are now VERY snug, so I am definitely carrying some extra blubber compared to five or so months ago. I've taken some photos to remind myself that I've got a long way to go and that I need to stay focused and motivated.
These are going to make great 'before' pictures to show off once I have some 'after' ones to compare them to.
I wouldn't really want to show anyone the ones of me in my underwear!
