And the icing on the cake (oops!) I bought my first pair of jeans today for about 10 years and they were a size 18! OMG! Never , ever thought I would wear size 18 jeans.
I bought them in a nice dark colour and they are bootcut, I then went mad and bought a lovey trendy size smock 18 top in lovely gren patterns and I feel young again!
Really buzzing , everybody suddenly noticeing and say ing I look fab! I know I'm still a fat person , but I dont know how to explain this , I feel 'normal' whatever that is, becuase after only being able to shop in Evans for so long and being limited to what looked Ok in size 24 I feel like I am free to shop in 'normal ' shops for clothes, so liberating!
I am flying now and so happy , it really is worthwhile and I can actually see a time when I will be slim now. It can be a reality not just a dream I had more or less given up on over the many many years I have been Obese. I hope this will inspire others to think it can be a reality for them too.
Love and thanks to you all
