Making it all add up
OK, two things to mentions today.
The GOOD
Firstly I spent a couple fo hours on Sunday going through my clother - we'd been given 2 charity collection bags that spurred me on.
Anyway, it took a coupel fo hours trying everything one, and pretty much having to throw everything away! I look like a achoolboy wearing his dad's shirts for painting classes, and these are the only shirts that would fit me just 10 weeks ago!
So that's very good, and very pleasing, although I am not buying new clothes until I hit Goal as I don't want to have anything to 'grow into', this time around.
However, this has also given me real inscurity issues about letting go, and not being able to maintain at or around Goal weight (in realty I am now the lightest I have been as an adult, but still in the obese category, and want to lose at least another 2 stone)
This leads me on to
The BAD
As well as the self-doubt (or is it fear of the unknown) above, I'm also now getting comments from family members about 'not losing any more' and 'stopping soon to go to RTM'.
Now I know this is not unusual, and I am losing weight for myself, no one else, I am finding this very hard. On top of that I am now starting to get really bored with the packs and the whole routine. I am really noticing all sorts of f##d smells, and even starting to think about what I can eat & when, once on RTM. The good news is that I am thinking, not acting, and I am thinking about healthy f##d not junk.
The timetable is compounded by a city break on 22 May (21st Wedding Anniversary), and I have promised to be sufficiently through RTM to be able to eat out & enjoy a drink with my wife). This means that my goal date of Easter Week, can be flexible by 1-2 weeks to allow alcholol at the right stage of RTM, which shouldn't be of a concern.
All in all, nust having an interesting time with teh diet at the moment. I've been through quite a bit in the past 10 weeks and not waivered, but I guess it's just the right time for me to 'wobble' especially with the end in sight...
