My boyfriend is super supportive so it's very helpful. We're trying to find non food things to do on our weekends and in our spare time. Today we're going to a woodland trust walk, and alongside walks we're looking at going to the observatory, wildlife parks, theatre, cinema etc, and as the weight comes off it'll be more physical things like the dry ski slope, karting, stunt car driving etc. check out ******* and Living Social for good 'experience' days, there's so much to do that isn't food, and that list gets bigger as you get smaller. I can't wait to do physical challenge experience days without feeling embarrassed about my size! Shedding these pounds means shedding the self loathing and the desire to hide indoors. I'm mega excited.
As well as stuff to do, I'm becoming more obsessed with my image, practicing make up in my bored times and looking at hairstyles on ********* etc. It fills my time and helps keep me motivated, I highly recommend it! I think self care is something I've been lacking for a while and have used food in it's place for too long.
Also, I've done more cleaning. Not exactly fun but useful! Also it's highlighted how much I didn't care about anything, I used food as life anaesthetic, so now trying to prove to myself that life is actually with experiencing. It's a work in progress!
