😎1 year and 3 stone difference between these 2 holiday photos ☀️
I’m posting these to show that I understand. I’m smiling in both of these photos, having a lovely time away with my family, but I can remember the day on the right so very clearly.
It was a cloudy but warm day at Disneyland Paris, I had really wanted to wear the Mickey Mouse T-shirt, but it was tight and I felt warm and uncomfortable. I resorted to tying my black cardigan round my waist to hide my bulges, it just made me feel even warmer. 😢. I was uncomfortable, worried about fitting on some of the rides, I had sore knees snd feet, and hated the photo (and that made me really sad, because I was in an amazing place with people I loved and I should have treasured the memory📸).
It was after the holiday that things really changed for me , I felt bloated, a fraud in my SW groups and was close to my original starting weight. Anyway, I was determined that things were going to change. And bit by bit they slowly did…
I can hardly put into words how different I felt on holiday this year🥰. And although I want to lose another 2.5stone , I felt like a different person. I did things that I wouldn’t have done last time, I swam in the sea, jumped in from a boat and I had a ball. I enjoyed choosing outfits each night, rather than covering up. And I loved all of our pics. (Well mostly 😆)
Weight loss for me had been so much more than a number on a scale, it has given me back so much more. I’m still very much on my journey, but I know that every 1lb or even 1/2 lb is a step in the right direction- working towards a healthier me 😍
