Pretty Chuffed
Nov 04 2009 15:39

I'm feeling pretty good about myself recently and it's spurred me into being (fairly) good with food an exercise. Obviously I still have a few naughty bits here and there and slack on exercising some days, but when I do I'm feeling guilty and unhappy, which has got to be good because it means I'm getting it in my head that I should be doing the 'right' things!

I've had loads of compliments from work in the recent weeks about my weight and how I'm looking and I keep thinking 'I've really not done/lost that much' but looking back to when I was previously on here i started at 164 so have actually lose nearly a stone (0.2 away from the whole stone mark)

Of course the compliments have done wonders for my self esteem and confidence and I'm feeling better in myself and quite enjoying looking in the mirror. I kow full well that I'm never going to be a UK size 10 purely because of the circumference of my ribs, and i'm at peace with that. Liam keeps saying he'd hate it if i lost my hips, but if anything they're becomming more obvious because there's not a layer of fat spreading downwards from my stomach! 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not where I want to be just yet, but hopefully, I'll get there, providing people keep complimenting me and boosting that confidence.

I just wish I could afford new clothes to compliment the 'new me'
