The last 2 weeks have seen me suffer from "the wobble". I've no idea why or anything like that but all I know is that I'm no longer losing weight and I'm sabotaging all the progress I made by eating crap and not bothering with going to the gym anymore. I think it's a panic reaction but at least now I know the signs I can make sure it doesn't happen again. February has been a rubbish month for weight loss it really has. I'm actually back in the 15s again when I was hoping to be out of the 14s (the other side though!) this month. I have one week left so as long as I don't finish in the 15s I'll be happy with that. Not ecstatic don't get me wrong, but happy. Current weight, sigh, is:
15st 1lbs
It's always good to treat yourself now and again and my new rule is that treats will not be food related. To cheer myself up, I decided to get a new haircut and some new clothes and I must say, the effects of that far outweigh the happiness of tucking into a Big Mac. I've had loads of comments at work about how different I love and it's really boosted my confidence. Non-food treats are definitely the way forward.
I've seen so many nice clothes that I would have usually dismissed outright because of my size but now I know I can do it, I'm actually using them as an incentive. I have loads of clothes in my wardrobe, most still with tags on, that I bought with every intention of losing weight to fit in them but never did. If I get another stone off, I have pretty much a whole new wardrobe of clothes to wear!
Went to a My Chemical Romance gig on Friday and was intrigued by the clothes everyone was wearing. It's made me realise that I've never actually had a time in my life where I've worn what I really wanted to wear. Well no more, I WILL wear the clothes I want to wear before I leave my twenties behind for good. On a brighter note, the gig was ace. Check out me and the lovely Julie in the VIP box, because that's how we roll!
That's it for now from me folks, sorry it's been a while since I've blogged. I guess you have to be in the right frame of mind. Remember we all have the wobble, it's how you get over it that counts.
