Hi Roxanne, congratulations on losing two stone so far, think positively about the differences that has made to you - clothes, more energy, getting compliments, feeling healthier and better about yourself.
I can relate to what you've written, I've still got about 2 1/2 stone to lose and similar to you it seems like a very long time away! I'm actually thinking in a more positive way. I'm doing this for me, not because I need to for health reasons any more. I'm at the stage where I'm accepting me. I'm starting to like what I see in the mirror and being proud of my achievements. Yes I still have down days where I think I look fat etc, but these are now fewer. It's difficult to explain this new mind set, but for me its working, I'm more relaxed and trying not to put so much pressure on myself. In many people's eyes I could stay as I am eg clothes are size 12 top, 14 bottom, my asthma has cleared up, I can run nearly 6k, instead of being out of breath walking up a flight of stairs.
I suppose I'm trying to say be proud of yourself x
