Five things...
...I've learnt this week are:
Press ups really make my shoulders hurt! I can't do full ones and the girlie ones hurt my knees however I shall persevere.
I'm not as fat as the scales would have me believe. I look in the mirror and I don't see someone pushing 15 stone so from now on, once a month weigh ins instead of constant depression because of a number on a little electrical box.
I have pretty eyes. I can do a lot with them so I'm going to do much more experimenting with my eye make up.
I've spent too long living in the "when I'm thin" world rather than living in the "you may get hit by a bus tomorrow" world. I shall make sure I'm happy now rather than concentrating on being happy tomorrow.
OCD when controlled is actually a pretty handy thing to have. My obsession with perfection has enabled me to spot some things at work that may have been missed by others and I'm confident things will change as a result. My OCD manifests itself in the written word/number which has slowed me down for years as I have to do things two, sometimes three times. Spreadsheets have to be perfect, documents have to be perfect. No mistakes. If there is one, I have to start again. I've had panic attacks many times because of it but now it's very much under control and I'm finding new ways of working with it and letting it work for me rather than against me. Words can't describe how liberating this actually is.
