Tomorrow is day 70 for me on lighterlife, and I have been thinking of the things I have been challenged with on this journey. I thought it may help others especially newbies if we each list the things we have learnt about ourselves on this journey. Things for me at least I may never have noticed otherwise. So feel free to add to my list, I may even add more myself as they come to mind because I can't remember much tonight as my brain has turned to mush!
1. For the first few days my husband goes away, I wander around searching for stuff to eat. The first few days of readjustment for me means loneliness and stress and its obviously a trigger for me.
2. I really do play games! (week 10....?) I didn't realise it before but I do fall into the trap all the time. I am going to try and be mindful and do it as little as possible.
3. I have a problem with self confidence. I knew this already but I am now starting to realise the impact it has had on my life, and the vicious circle it has created for me. ie feeling less confident the bigger I got, and feeling less and less able to do anything about it the bigger I got.
4. I have gone 70 days without crisps, juice, chocolate or any other 'treats'. I evidently don't need as much of them as I thought to be happy....because I am really happy at the moment!
