Clean eating, happy living! GAME ON!

[Light_Life_Love16]

I'm so excited to be starting week 7 tomorrow, having completely it all 100% so far. I'm finding it super easy to stay on track and although I do experience tempting thoughts, it is easy enough to keep them at bay by reminding myself how much harder it will be to get back on track, than it is to just stay one track.

As always, I'm looking forward to measuring tomorrow morning to see my cms results. I went shopping last week and purchased some new tops in the normal section of Kmart (nothing fancy until I'm at goal), instead of in the big girl section. Felt a million dollars! A bought a couple of jumpers that are pretty fitted at the moment, to allow for the most wear as time goes on. The end of the year seems to be flying towards me at a hundred miles an hour! Before I know it, I will be down to a size 10/12 and this will all be a thing of the past. Well, the eating plan, not the new lifestyle.

I'm starting to look forward to certain events now, imagining me at different stages of my weight loss journey. Eg: going to a friends birthday party in September, which will be three months from my start date, and my weight loss will be most obviously indeed! And also the October long weekend, a friends 40th. I won't see them before then, so it's exciting to think of the difference in myself between now and then! And I'm really looking forward to our camping holiday this year! It will be so nice to fit into shorts and dresses this summer, and be able to wear nice singlet tops and tshirts, even if they are still a size 14/16 by them, it beats a size 22 that I wore last summer! And swimmers! Wow! The temptation will be to not buy too much this summer, because it will all be too big by next year!

It's funny how this time is my time, it's something I know for sure. Previously, I had done diets but couldn't really believe I would make it down to goal because it was all too hard to maintain. But not this. This is just working. The stars are aligned or something like that. I noticed the other day that I can no longer see my belly poking out beneath my chest when I look down.

I've also started to take greater care of my skin and face, to give myself the best opportunity to stay clear skinned and allow the most elasticity in my skin recovering. I hope for the best results.

Once last thing....I'm finding it a delicious temptation still not knowing what I weighed in at when I visited my clinic at week 4. I love not knowing. It makes so much sense to me! I think I am going to open my envelope with my results on Christmas Day as a present to myself for my hard work. It will be so rewarding to look back on the past 6 months (28 weeks) on such a special day when I am committed to sticking to my eating plan even on that day and reflect on what I have achieved. yep, that's what I'll do. No kg results until Christmas Day.

Will update re cms tomorrow.
