Having lost a further 8lbs since my last post ~ 15lbs in total so far ~ I am now a quarter of the way towards my first target, which I am very happy about as I'm sure you can imagine! Ultimately I have a huge amount of weight to lose, but breaking that down into interim goals does make it a little easier. It's less overwhelming aiming for smaller goals than to be constantly thinking about the "big picture", in other words just taking baby steps along the journey 😊
Obviously I don't look any different at the moment, but I have noticed some changes within myself. I'm feeling less bloated, and my feet, ankles and calves are very much less swollen than they were. I guess I've been retaining a lot of fluid.....which would, of course, explain all the weeing since altering my eating habits😏 I think I'm due for another of my regular appointments with the Nurse Practitioner at my GP surgery soon, and it will be interesting to see if this is having any effect on my high blood pressure.
Whilst, as I say, I don't look any different my clothes are already feeling a little looser, which I'm pretty sure is because of being less bloated. My jeans and dresses are suddenly a tad longer than they were ~ a slightly less swollen stomach to hold them higher, I presume 😄
It's been a very good start, I think, but I'm well aware that the weight loss will slow down ~ I just have to keep taking those little steps one-at-a-time. I'll be back with another update when the next 7lbs has gone.
