Christmas Party & Weigh Day

So Monday was our annual Christmas Party in London and safe to say I was completely off plan. I haven't been on plan all week and weighed in today with a 6lb gain. I was devastated in all honesty but going off everything i've consumed this week it should have been a lot worse. I'm now 12.5lbs from my target which I know I won't get before xmas now but I'm still going to try my best to get as much as possible off again! I'm so close now and i'm determined not to sabotage it! This photo is from my Christmas Party (left) and the right hand one is one time hop kindly decided to show me from several years ago. I never remember actually being that big to be honest, I think I was in denial. I know a xmas party or a few days off with most likely end in a gain but I also know I will never be back at the weight I was on the right. This has been more about finding a love for myself rather than losing weight. I am finally getting happy with how I look and it definitely isn't about the number on the scales anymore it's more about how I feel in myself and when I can look in the mirror and know that i'm happy that's when I will know to call target; for the sake of SW I have set a target but this could change depending on the above.

15 Months Apart

I've been doing slimming world since March 2015 and I'm so happy I decided to join. It's given me my confidence, and a massive group of new friends. It's given me a new found love for food and I feel comfortable in my own skin. 

Its my birthday tomorrow and I will wear the dress on the right. It's a size 10. I'd never have believed I'd ever wear a size 10 but slimming world has made that possible. I'm back on plan on Thursday apart from the bit of birthday cake I will still have left, and I'm only 8.5lbs away from my target. Can't wait to get there!

Motivational Monday

I find it really hard to find old photos of when I was 'bigger' because I went through a phase of deleting them all. 

The one on the left is from about 9 months before I started #slimmingworld so just over 2 stone between these two pictures ❤️ 

3 Stone & Worlds Apart

Time hop has got a habit of showing me some truly awful pictures at the moment. The photo on the left was me at uni, a size 18 and almost 16 stone. I thought I was happy and I had a good time, I'd never deny that. 

Fast forward a good few years and I'm over 3 stone lighter and I feel like I've got a new life. I'm not 100% comfortable with how I look yet but I'm a lot closer to it! 

11lbs to the target I first set myself, and then I'll reassess :)
