I have abstained 100% for 4 weeks now, and am doing well. I haven't told many people about my diet as I don't want to be "checked" to see if i am losing....I want to do it for myself.
I started a size 22ish, and asked not to know my weight in stones, just the pounds lost. I have lost 19.5lbs.
I don't want to take this comment too seriously, I know it was meant in jest, but a member of my family has just made me feel pretty rubbish. My brother in fact.
He lives in Scotland, so only see him every 3 or 4 mnths...but I was just on the phone and told him how much I lost this week and the total to date. I am very close with my brother so we have a laugh, but this comment has stuck in my head as I knew it would.
When I told him my loss, he said, " But is a stone or 3 going to be noticeable? I mean, it's a bit like clearing an earthquake with a dustpan and brush!"
Obviously I laughed and took it as a joke...he isn't a malicious person...but is that what others think too? Am I really just kidding myself when I lose some weight...do I still look just as repulsive as I thought I did at the start of the diet?
I was feeling very proud at the loss of my first stone, but I have just realised, I don't look any different.
