List the benefits of your diet/exercise/lifestyle change apart from weight loss!

[Periwinkle]

I was thinking it would be motivational to list the benefits of my diet OTHER than the weight loss. Anyone else wanna give it a go? Side benefits of your diet/exercising/lifestyle change!


Apologies if there's a thread already for this!


* My skin looks much better
* My stomach feels less bloated
* I'm wasting less food - hardly ANY food winds up in the bin now! Yay, not wasteful!
* I don't get acid reflex or heart burn as much
* I don't feel guilty because I'm not overeating anymore
* My family have stopped telling me I need to do something about my weight which is great because that used to annoy the heck out of me!
* I'm feeling hope. Not just about my weight but about the future. It feels like I have one again

I've stopped snoring
I've not had a serious asthma attack in 6 months
My acne has almost gone
My stress levels are down
I'm hardly ever 'ill' with bugs, colds, infections

This is really encouraging, I haven't lost the weight yet but I also want many of these additional benefits!

My other benefits:
I'll feel pretty again
My clothes will all fit - not just leggins, tights etc
I'll feel confident/less self conscious
I won't have to hide from the camera
I'll want to wear nice undies for the OH again!
I'll stop feeling guilty for eating
