So having fallen off the wagon and recently got back on, i was feeling good myself for regaining my focus. I went for a run with tje running buggy and my daughter today and met the boys (hubby and sons) in the park. Then another dad told me i bad a lovely family and asked when the next baby was due...... Im not pregnant :0

I laughed it off but must admit i feel pretty miserable that my gut obv looks that big hahaha

Well, i said to myself this is the heaviest you will be. The weight is coming off so chin up.....

Thanks for reading x

Thanks Lytham yes definitely a kick in the right direction.... I try and rationalise saying well i do have a 1 yo 3 yo and 4yo so maybe im now just letting it all hangout gut wise but nope... Im just fat.. Hahaha. Aiming for a 3k loss before 3 aug when i go on hols. Then a further 5 kg loss by 16 Sep when i start a new work pattern and my middle one goes to nursery. Then my final 10kg phase begins....

You must have felt really miserable but if it’s made you look at yourself through someone else’s eyes then that’s a good thing. Use that feeling that you had in that moment to keep you focused. You’ve done it before so you know you can do it again. X

Such a difficult moment can be very motivating, I fell heavily last summer and sprained my ankle. My legs were really swelling in the heat and I knew that I was carrying too much weight. Today is the anniversary of that fall and I am now 2 stone lighter and my legs are not swelling in this year’s heat.It has been a long steady journey and now I am working on maintaining that weight loss, not easy. I wish you every success.
