Apologies for not coming back sooner to respond! I didn't start the app straight away after I posted, because I didn't feel quite in the right head space to start. I think I was scared of what it meant - letting go of the diet mentality I've been enslaved by for decades and also I was worried it meant I would have to stop being sociable with friends and family if I couldn't eat and drink what I wanted well.
Well, I started the app on Thursday and now I'm kicking myself for not starting sooner! The trigger was my OH uploading lots of old pictures to our new digital photo frame - it was shocking to see how much weight I've piled on in the past few years and how middle aged and frumpy I've become. The camera never lies! (Well, except on Instagram, with filters and photoshopping, but you know what I mean!)
I haven't weighed myself yet and shan't for a week or so, but already I feel so much better after listening to the app. I'm also eating healthier foods, taking my time when eating, and only eating when hungry. And I've noticed "The Sigh" already! And it didn't impact me going out for a late tea with my OH and DC yesterday - I had a burger, but without the bun and with salad on the side and found I was too full to finish it (again, I heard "The Sigh"!). It was quite the revelation.
I've joined the FB and am so inspired by the stories and pictures on there. I'm also really grateful landedonmyfeet1 and SoHumble for you sharing your stories of long-term loss and maintenance, because I was curious as to whether the weight stays off. Great to know it does!
And how are you doing now, ThatsNotMyUnicorn? I'm not setting myself a weight goal - I'm going by what the app says and aim to lose whatever my body needs to.
How are you getting on, WakeUpFromYourDreamAndScream? I'm listening in the morning at the moment as it's setting me up in a great, positive way for the rest of the day.
