I survived the Christmas party and lost weight!!
Hi,
I hope you are all OK today, and still feeling motivated to lose a few extra pounds before Christmas. I went to weigh in this morning and I have lost another 3.5lbs! That now takes my total lose to 9st 11.5lbs. Please keep your fingers crossed for next Saturday morning, if I lose another 2.5lbs, I will reach the 10st lost mark. Trust me, you will hear me screaming wherever you live! I still can't believe it. I have smashed my Christmas target and I am nearly at my original goal target of 16st. It all seems so wierd, I know I am doing very well, but its almost like a dream. I am no longer a fat man, I am still over weight, but I am so close to being at goal and being a heathier and happier person. And I will never be fat again...ever.
I have re-set my ultimate goal this week. When I started in April, the prospect of losing so much weight was very scary. The goal of 16st seemed miles away, and I thought I would be happy at 16st, but I'm not going to be. Even though so many people keep telling me to not lose anymore, I know I need to. People can see I have a slim face, and my body is so much smaller, but I know I still have a bit of a tummy on me, hence I have decided my new ultimate goal is going to be 14st. This will still make me slightly over weight according to the doctors, but I think I will be happy at that weight. I do feel amazing, and I know I look great, but I still want to look better!
I went to my company's annual awards dinner last night, and had a great time. I decided to be good because I had weigh in this morning. I only drank water (no hang over this morning, yay!) and I made sure I had plenty to eat during the day, so when the meal came, I was not hungry. Call me silly, but I want this so much, I am not going to let anything stop me. If I didn't have weigh in this morning, I would have had a few drinks and I would have eaten the meal, but Saturday mornings are very important to me, and I wanted a good result. As I discussed last week, you have to still live when you are losing weight, which means enjoying yourself, having a drink or three, and eating naughty things every so often, but it is all about balance.
I did feel a million dollors in my dinner suit last night, I will make sure I post some pictures on here soon to show you. I need to update my pictures anyway, because I keep losing weight, the pictures become out of date very quickly.
I hope you all have a great week, remember, you can still have a great festive season, including drinks and naughty meals, read my post from last week. Also remember, you can still lose some more weight this week in preparation for Christmas. Even if you are having a party or a meal out, try to be extra good for the rest of the week, remember a week consists of 21 meals, not just one.
Speak to you soon.
