Okay, so it took me a year and two months to shift 4 and a half stone, and i have been maintaining since, almost 8 months now. (However i have no revised my target and hope for my 5 stone award eventually)
anywho, it took me absoloutly ages for me to get my head around buying size 10's, rather than 18's ..wearing new clothes etc..
BUT, i cant stop thinking like fat fern.. i catch myself doing it all the time.. when we eat in a resteraunt, the thought will cross my mind whether the lady at the other table can tell i used to be fat by the way i eat ( crazy i know ) or that the other girls my age can tell i used to be fat by the way i wear my clothes.. somtimes i still doubt myself whether i'l fit past somones chair or through those metal turny things.. in my head i know these things are rediculous, but its like a natural way of thinking for me, even now.
I thought eventually i'd just kinda grow out of it, in the sence that once i'd 'grown' into my new body and gotten used to it, my mind would catch up.
Im not skinny, but im not overweight anymore ( although because of my height my bmi says otherwise LOL ) - or atleast i dont think i look overweight, but somtimes i worry others think differently.
i had a 'personal shopper' expierance type thing and i bought the outfit that she picked and my mum and sister said i looked fab it, however, i dithered for 2 hours over lunch before purchasing it, and now, with all the tags on, its hanging on my wardrobe, staring at me. I like the outfit, but my mind keeps telling me its an outfit someone of my age with a better body should be wearing. Its so not even revealing in any way, - i think the problem is, i think in order to wear a really nice looking outfit, i have to be going somewhere, where as i suppose now i have a body i like, i should be wearing these things, that everyone else wears so casually, on a dailey basis too?
i havnt even put it on for OH yet.
Am i waffeling? i dont even think im making sence LOL
Help ? LOL
