2 weeks ago I decided to look at the little things that as a whole contributed to my weight gains. I was the heaviest I have ever been and had just been challenged to do a C25K.
I joined this fantastic group here, took note of the advice to lose weight before doing the challenge.
Got myself out of a rut cooking wise / ordering takeaways, by ordering hellofresh, delicious BTW and I stopped tracking my walks because I got disheartened when I thought I was doing well and it told me that I had only done 1.6k in 40 minutes (I have a dog called Scruffy who stops every other stride to sniff and wee on something).
I started to work on my self love rather than loathing. I restarted meditation, took longer baths, developed a new facial routine and allowed myself just to be still in the present, no blame for the past. I sat out on the sun when I wasn't at work and take lunch breaks rather than eating at my desk.
Today, I am grateful for the hour long walk I had with Scruffs, the amazing things we saw, the other dogs he played with, the view across the bay and just for being alive. Does it really matter how far we walked, no!
By changing these little things I have lost 10lb in 2 weeks (I have 10 stone to lose before anyone despairs at the loss and thinks why can't I do that). I feel so much happier, I eat what I want when I want, the difference being that as I grow comfortable in my own skin, I eat less of it as I release the need to build a shield around myself, from past hurts, failures, emotional pain.
My life is so much better because of the small changes I make, the non measured walks, sun on my face, the whole self care, the delicious food I chose to eat. For the first time in years I like myself and I will continue with the small things that contribute to a better life.
Love and Light, stay safe xx
