Shaving my legs standing up in the shower cubicle, such a simple thing that I love

I no longer hide at home feeling guilty and depressed whilst my OH takes the kids out and about.

Now I go too and feel like a normal Mum and keep up with everyone instead of sitting at home and comfort eating and feeling like a let down x

 

[Sarah Metcalf]

These are my favourite kind of threads!!! So much positive energy that it makes my heart sing!!
I'm only a few months out and have a long way to go yet. But I am looking forward to it! How strange eh? The amount of weight I have to lose would in the past send me straight into depression. I chose to accept my fate. And now look where I am! I am enjoying my journey every single day. There are lots of things I could list that I can now do, and couldn't before. The single best one is the raised confidence. Don't get me wrong I still have a million hang ups about my body but I notice a distinct change in how I feel about myself. I'm starting to think that I am no longer defined by my size. People may actually see the real person in this body!! It's a lovely thought.
Hugs to all x

My period actually arrived on day 28 of my cycle!! Last year it was common for me to see 50+ days between cycles. So Yey to body normalising, but boo to more periods/more sanitary wear. xx

I enjoy my gardening more now - I don`t get puffed out and have to sit down every 5 mins! Yay!

Loving being out with just a t-shirt and no baggy jumpers or tops to hide my fat!






Love Kat x

getting into the 'one day when im a bit smaller i can get back into that' item of clothing!!

 

[Sarah Metcalf]

In feb I bought a M&S jacket in a size 22, it was slightly too tight, yesterday I put it and it was huge, even my hubby commented on it. So when I went to work I mentioned that I was going to sell it (only wore it about 12 times). A colleague tried it on and it fit her perfectly, so she bought it off me

So today I went to buy another jacket, while I was there a Farmers Market was on, I got talking to the lady on the Arran cheese stall, telling her that I'd lived on Arran, just down the road from the factory, she then asked how I wasn't huge!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a result, somebody thinks I'm not huge!! Oh and I bought a size 20 jacket

 

[magicbeans]

woo Sarah feels nice not to classed as huge and what a result on the small items being too big now!
