I went to a dinner party last night and it really brought home the diets don't work bit - the host was on a diet so had a completely different starter to the rest of us - we had delicious toasted goats cheese salad with a delicious dressing pine nuts etc - she had a slice of smoked salmon on some plain lettuce, the main was the same for all and then for pudd she had made treacle sponge with custard for us and she had fruit salad. Another guest lost a couple of stone on WW earlier this year and announced that she was going back on Tuesday to stop the rot as she hadn't put it all back on but it was going back on but she was allowed to have what she wanted as she wasn't starting til Tuesday.
I sat there thinking - thank god that is not me anymore. All those things I used to do, however this time I really enjoyed my food, came away pleasantly full but definitely not stuffed and turned down the cheese as I really had had enough.
So i felt pretty pleased, not had quite such a good day today but am reminding myself of how I felt last night and the knowledge that although I was definitely the biggest there that will not always be the case and they will be going up and down whereas eventually mine will stay stable once I am on top of it all
I am also becoming more accepting of the fact that for me it will be a few steps forward and a few steps back and it may take quite some time, I am quite a lot bigger than even last year but I can feel myself relaxing and i am doing much more of the things so at some stage soon it will start to take effect on my weight - I just know it!!
