I am currently wearing an outfit that I last wore when I was 24 - I'm now 42!

I'm actually in better physical shape now than I was back then.

My torso is not so tiny anymore… because my hips and thighs are shrinking! I was very much a pear shape, but the pear is slimming down into more of an hourglass shape.

I worked the dinner service in the kitchen at work the last 2 nights. The first night I went over my desired calories but still managed a decent Deficit. Yesterday I promised myself no bingeing at work no matter how good the food looked. So at the beginning of my shift I saw what was available, made my choice of what I was going to eat for dinner and stuck to it. It was not easy, especially with the cheese platter, slices, dessert and ice cream all calling my name. But the proud feeling I got when I finished the shift without going into the usual “I have to try everything mode” that I get into when I work in the kitchen was totally worth it. And because I started later it meant I could ride longer yesterday morning so I burnt extra calories. When I got home and realised how many extra calories I had, I indulge in a chewy caramel Tim Tam and enjoyed every bite! (Instead of shovelling something down at work because I didn’t have time to actually sit and enjoy the flavour.
I must say that I’m happy to be back in housekeeping today away from the temptations

Since joining the gym eight weeks ago I have been wearing a very baggy tunic and sweatpants for group classes. This week I switched to a new T-shirt and fitted pants. A genuinely lovely and supportive old guy in my class came up and said, "Hey! You got rid of your poncho!!! Nice work!!!!!"

Bought new cycling shorts in June because the ones I already have nearly cut off circulation around my knee (there's a strip to prevent them from riding up), so I couldn't wear them any more. Paid a hefty fat tax as only the most expensive model the store had in the biggest size would fit me.
Two days ago I wanted to go on a ride, but my fancy new bike pants are in the wash, so I put on the old ones and they fit! Possibly better than then I originally bought them as they've always been tight.

After 8 months of debilitating pain in my lower back, last week I had the first of 2 injections in my back. I went back to the gym this past Sunday and yesterday. I look forward to going again tomorrow. I'm beginning to feel like my old self again. I'm loving it!

When I went to work today, my boss only made fun of my weight 2 times today instead of the usual 3 or 4. I am truly blessed!

Your boss sounds like a dick. I’m sorry you are going through that at work.

Just keep going. You will reach your goals.

i've had four days of just not caring much about what I ate. I don't really know why--I just...ate what I wanted. I didn't get down on myself, I did try to make healthier choices, but I wasn't anywhere close to my budget, and probably over maintenance too (I didn't fully track.) I tried to halt it after day one, day two, day three...then last night, I convinced myself to spend half an hour prepping some mason jar salads and overnight oatmeal. and BAM! I'm right back on today.

I *am* back on plan. and I didn't beat myself up or stress about it. I just had my fun then went back to what will now be normal for me.
