I've had a pretty up and down day. I discovered that my dress that I was planning to try and fit into in mid June isn't the size it said so that was disappointing. But I just used that as motivation and ended up doing a load of exercise which was good.
Then I found out I was going to a BBQ for my nephews birthday which I didn't really look forward to! I posted about it on here earlier. But you know what it really wasn't that bad. I ended up saying about the whole my diet was meant to be something that people didn't know for a while and everyone laughed and looked at my mum, she only told 2 people but you know what it's like, everything spreads! But we ended up laughing about it which was good.
I actually sat there with them all while they had the BBQ and I had my chicken and mushroom soup. There was a couple of times where I was like but I want a burger, i want a sausage, but my family were just like no, no you don't so I resisted! I even resisted the amazing chocolate cake my sister made as his birthday cake which I had to cut up!
While it was quite tempting at times I managed to resist it all and just had my soup and frozen tetra and actually had a really good evening with lots of smiles and laughing. Everyone kept saying how good I was looking which I didn't like... kind of! It was good but I don't like being the focus of attention, especially not weight related! But they carried on anyway telling me how they could see I was losing weight, I looked really well, my skin looked great etc. and for that I love them, I really do. I think while I don't take compliments very well at all, it was great for me to hear and really spurs me on. It's great to know that I have their support behind me. My family has really been through it's ups and downs and sometimes they drive me mad, but tonight has actually shown me that we're a lot closer a family than I realise and that I know that no matter what I would always have their support. And this diet is what's shown me that in a way. I'm getting slightly emotional just thinking about it! So I'll shut up now, this is a long enough post anyway!
Basically, the point of my post was just to say you know those occasions where you think oh I'll have a break, eat healthily, it's a wedding, birthday, leaving party, anniversary whatever, well if I can get through a family BBQ 100%, then you can get through those! It's tempting, but totally possible and will just make you stronger! Feel like I can take on the world now
