Getting there slowly ...
Over the past four years, since I first found Lighter Life and then Cambridge, I have lost a tremendous amount of weight – however I haven’t halved my size or anything like the great transformations you see on Minis.
Basically, I lost a chunk, and put about 80% of it back on. I then lost the chunk again – then I put 60% back on. Third time round, I kept most of it off (only 20% back on this time – boy am I getting good) and I am now in the process of dealing with that.
What is my problem? Stress – mostly work related – and I have to say I love my job – however while under normal circumstances my weight is right up there in the front of my mind – when stress kicks in, it goes straight to the back and eating (and drinking wine) take over.
I had been thinking that I could just spend forever carrying on yo-yoing like this – after all I had the clothes for all sizes – and I have even found that while it’s not always easy to get back into ss’ing, once I am in the right frame of mind it is simple – no headaches or tiredness like in the beginning – however … I am just not happy being big.
So …. last weekend I filled bags with everything that was too big – and got them to the charity shop on Monday morning before the devil on my shoulder had me push them back into the loft.
Now I am looking at ways with dealing with stress and I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has been there, done it, got the T shirt (in four different sizes).
