Hi all,
I'm finally starting to believe I will actually get to my target this time. I've always struggled to lose more than 5kgs before, and now I've lost just over 13kgs in five weeks and I'm so stoked. I am finally able to start visualising myself at a 'normal' weight, I've never really done that before. I piled on weight rather quickly in my late teens and early twenties (thanks PCOS!), and at 31 I've never ever lost weight before.
Along with being able to realllllly see myself slimmer, I'm beginning to identify the different ways that I have unconsciously gone about doing things slightly differently to smaller people, and adusting my physical presence to not offend or interfere with other people's personal space (even though now, having to think about that, it makes me really angry how fatist society is!... anyway, I digress).
I have started making a few notes of things I'm looking forward to... and I thought maybe others have things I've not yet picked up on, or different things to my own etc?
Here's mine so far:
- not touching the sides of chairs, especially in public places like on the plane, tube or cinema
- shopping for clothes in 'normal' shops!!!!
- not having to walk down the train / bus / plane aisle at an angle in case I bump someone
- being able to put socks on without having to pull my leg up by my jeans
- not struggle to paint my toenails properly
