Weight loss is so much more than loosing lbs......it's self asteem, body image, confidence, awareness, health, truth, well being and finding who you are.....

So so true, what a lovely post to wake up to.

If we listen, this journey continues to ask us really deep questions about who we are and what we are made of.

Thanks for that super thought for the day. 😊

Totally agree with you :) obviously being over weight isn't healthy but i'm going this more so i can be happy and comfortable within myself. 

That's right and just what I was trying to say to my friend yesterday but not so succinctly. Those are the words I was looking for! It's more than image, it's about being your optimum you.

That how I feel too. Being pro active and losing my excess weight makes me feel so good about myself 😊.

That is  so true- since  joining Health Unlocked I have  learnt to swim properly (breathing out underwater!) and  it feels great to do this exercise- learning so late in life  too. I also  like cycling. I hope  others feel this way  too- just  feeling  bette r about  ourselves!

Thanks for the ideas.  It's like peeling the skin and layers off the onion to find the real you underneath.  I feel like I have returned to be the person I was going to be from my youth, shedding the stresses that sneaked up in middle life.

Not just weight loss my friends any activity that gives you a space to discover the real you.

Try volunteering that always gives you more than you ever put in!

So true, and what we need to remind ourselves if the scales don't budge the right way! For me self esteem has improved massively since weight loss, and noticing improved fitness!

Does anyone ever find some people don't ever comment on your weight loss.......it can sometimes be a little demoralizing

I think some people believe asking if you have lost weight is a bit like saying you were really fat before 😕 

I have had more comments in the last month or so since j had a new hairstyle than the previous 8 months and two stone off!!! Lol 😊  I think it's my improving confidence showing through msybe. 

Good luck! You can do this! miamia  😊
