slightly embarassing NSV

Tiggermummy

I was visiting a different facility today for some training, and I needed to get down on the floor to put some tape down to seal a room, but because I was wearing a tyvek suit (dispossible boiler suit) my trousers didn't ride up my leg as they should have, and I split my trousers along a seam from my knee to my thigh....:embarassed: :blushing:

so having made a temp repair with some suture material to stop it spreading any further, and having finished the training, I shot out to local chairty/thrift and could only find Size 16 from Next, so I thought I would give them a try, and

THEY FIT!!! a little more snug across the overhang but I can do them up, the zip isn't pinging down or off...
I was a uk 22 at christmas - doing a happy dance :happy: :laugh: :happy:

Hey, at least they didn't split in the rear...I had that happen when I was in denial over my weight gain in November of last year, and even though it was in the privacy of my closet it didn't make it any easier

Now, to the god part....HURRAY for your loss in sizes! That's freaking awesome, very proud. You'll hit your goal in no time

What is the ONE thing you think has been the main factor in you losing all that weight?

I think for me there are three main things that I have done

1) drink water - lots of it.

2) portion sizes - I can now eyeball a portion of most foods within 1-2g! I started by putting out what I thought was a portion and then weighing it to see how much I was over and adjusting accordingly. I do occasionally weigh portions to make sure I am still close.

3) Walking - I now try and power walk whenever I can, I catch an earlier train to give me time to walk rather than go on the underground. The walk to work used to take me to 30 minutes, I now do it in 16 minutes between 4-6 mph depending on how many tourists get in my way or timing getting to traffic lights!
