*staged or not that's an impressive transformation.
Hagbeth delighted to hear about your luscious curls.
LittleSwede go see a doctor. Six days is too long and whatever you’re doing isn’t working.
So even if I am up on where I was this time last year, I should give myself a pat on the back for what I have achieved.
Yes, prettybird, absolutely. That’s what I was trying to get across with the photos. It’s taken me longer than some, and at one point I gained back a stone of what I’d lost, similar to you. But crucially, I didn’t gain back the whole 3 stone 6 lbs that is lost, or gain even more, which is what so often happens with dieters, so I don’t consider this yo-yo dieting. It really is a WOE, but some periods I have strayed and gained, yet always with the thought in my head that carbs and sweets and crap is not my way of eating.
Actually, it’s given me a good insight into what I can do when I get to maintenance, so I’m not afraid of that phase.
As for the staged photo, I meant only in the sense that I was dressed in a way I loved, had full slap and hair, and was standing in reasonably flattering power pose, which will always be better than sitting down and leaning over etc. I didn’t use no tricks or filters, just a good pose! Which, given a choice, why wouldn’t you?
