Proud to have lost nearly a stone and feeling better

I've lost nearly a stone by calorie counting, drinking more (water, not alcohol 😜) and making a conscious effort to walk more.

I've still got 4 stone to lose but I am SO proud!

I'm wearing a dress today that hugs my body but do you know what? I don't care I have a belly! I care that for once, I actually feel good! 😊

Fantastic well done .

Well done! You are doing brilliantly. If you have a day in the future when you struggle, just remember the way you feel today and how good that feels before you do something that might derail you. I recollect someone teaching me to take a mental photograph of how you feel now (close your eyes, concentrate on the feeling, visualise something that strengthens the feeling and make a shutter clicking noise) before you open your eyes. Sounds weird maybe but give it a go!

Well done! It is not easy - pats on the back!
