A Journey Worth Revisiting.

Today I have been beating myself up because of the weight I have put on over Christmas. I'll get weighed in tomorrow at weight watchers and know I'll be very disappointed. Due to not being well and it being Christmas most of my activity stopped. Then there was the temptation of gifts of wine, boxes of chocolates, mince pies, cheese and someone even made me a cake. Everything I shouldn't eat but did pick at.

I put my disappointment on my Facebook page and was told to look at the bigger picture. Not what I've done now but over a period of time. I decided to put this dress on. There was a time when I couldn't get it on. It wouldn't go past my hips. Then I lost some weight and I got it past my hips but couldn't do the zip up. Now it's ridiculously big and it slips on over my head with out undoing any zip. Yes I have come a long way.

I've been really good today and gone back to writing everything I eat down. I've gone right back to eating just vegetables, protein and fruit. Drank only lemon and hot water or green and fruit teas. Did a 6.5 mile power walk. I'm back in the zone.

Yes I think I'm obsessed by my weight. But when you have spent a good deal of your life being big, not able to do things, not able to wear what you want, never wanting to go anywhere and then it all changes to I want to do everything, I want to go everywhere, I can wear what I like and I like this new me...I want to keep her.
