Hi
Just thought I would set up a thread to help with motivation.. after a few weeks, I find I am becoming stuck and need some motivation.. We all talk about receipes, syns and weigh-ins... What about the emotional side of it all? Without maintaining a PMA??? we cannot maintain our weight loss without it...
I'll start:
Before:
Each time I tried on clothes in normal shops, I felt ashamed, I would look for clothes that would stretch.. clothes that looked bigger than the size they were...
Now - Positive:
I can buy my correct size... I dont have to cut the labels off to hide the sizes..
I buy and even if they dont fit I will bring them back to the shops.. before i was too ashamed..
Before:
I had to buy belts in fat shops as they wouldnt go around my waist..
Now - Positive:
I can buy a belt in any shop not just fat shops!!!
Before:
I would hide from pics.. or would always offer to take the picture for everyone else
Now - Positive:
Now I jump in the picture.. and smile
Before:
I would shy away from people...
NOw - positive:
Now I am getting my confidence back.. I am becoming the person I used to be.
Before:
I would buy shoes and handbags because of fear that clothes wouldnt fit..
Now - positive:
I get confused cause now I have a selection - I am happy even knowing I can!!!!
