...and I'm only half way there!!!
Well, actually, a little bit past half way. As you might know, my Big Goal has been to lose ten stone. I have now lost five stone, one and half pounds. In 14 weeks. This week had been my best loss since beginning Cambridge - 7.5lbs!! This was also my Christmas goal from the very start, and I've done it with time to spare!!
I still can't -really- see a physical difference, but I can feel one. I'm out of breath a lot less, I can work faster, harder and my feet don't hurt. That's all good.
It feels weird, having less to lose than I have already lost. I never really believed at be at this point. 70+ pounds always seemed so so so far away, so it's amazing to think it's here after only three and a half months.
This week I have also made the decision to have Christmas Eve evening and Christmas Day off CD. I know it will set my weight loss back a week or so, but I'm honestly okay with that. When I told my CDC and Dad, they were both supportive, but said something along the lines of 'you deserve it', and I didn't correct them, but I wanted to say 'no, I don't'. Not because I don't think that my weight loss is amazing, believe me, I'm the most gob-smacked, but because I don't want to think of food as a reward. I'm going to eat because Christmas Eve/Day bring much delicious and fun food. No other reasons at all. I'm hoping this is the start of a healthy attitude for me.
On a final note, as of Wednesday, I will have been on SS for 100 days. Squee.
