Honestly - I struggle to see it as five stone. I have so much to lose that it feels a little like a drop in the ocean. But then I say to people, 'I've lost five stone' and they're so supportive so that helps. But, I no longer take any painkillers, and at the moment am not waking up with back pain/knee pain.
I don't feel hungry, often find myself struggling to want to eat my snacks. I feel free of diets for the first time.
