The Power of Positive Thinking

Since I've been trying to lose weight for so long, the more times I had a slip up or saw the scales increase rather than decrease I became even more discouraged.  Then, all of a sudden it was like a switch had been flicked and I started to look at the whole process in a different light.  None of us are perfect and there are time we will slip up.  This realisation is what I struggled most with.

All week, I have been in such a positive head space.  It's such an amazing feeling.  I haven't been tempted to binge, or break my healthy eating at all!  Yesterday, I tentatively hopped on the scales to see where I was at... I lost 1.1kg since last week!  I was so excited... I just hope that I can keep it off.

I've noticed that my stomach is becoming more toned, and my "saddlebags" aren't as large.  It's exciting that I am now at that point where I can notice the little differences in my body.  My dietician suggested I look into getting a personal trainer to speed things up, so I did a bit of research and came across a local women's fitness group and they are doing a Christmas challenge.  It's a 12 class pass and there are a range of different classes we can attend each week.  I've also started walking each day for half an hour before lunch each day, which I think may be helping the process.

Sorry for such a delay between posts... I'll keep you updated on my progress!
