Photo update

These are the latest pics of me at 87kg - over 21kg lost since I started WW. I know I've been promising these for a while... The one on the left is one of my new tops I bought to celebrate 20kg lost and a successful Easter challenge.

I still have a Loooooong way to go before I start loving photos of myself, but I'm starting to feel a lot better in my skin. I like wearing nice clothes now because I think I look good, rather than my old "why bother, I'm still fat and ugly" attitude.

For comparison purposes, here are a few older pics of me at approx 109kg:

WEEK IN REVIEW: 02 May 06 - 08 May 06
Food points = 145/147
Water = average 12 glasses per day
Exercise points = 20.5 earnt
Sugar points = 22/14 (oops)
weight loss = 2.1kg (Ummm... WOW. Happy me.)

Okay, so I had a bit of a blow out this week. At work we had a morning tea shout to celebrate me and another guy starting work there. It was in my honour so I could hardly refuse... So I had half a savoury muffin (3.5pts) and a piece of sponge cake (5.5 pts). Afterwards I was really annoyed because I knew that there was no way I could fit that into my daily points (I only had 9 points left anyway). So what did I do? I went back at afternoon tea and had seconds!!! Holy heck I can't believe myself sometimes...

So anyway, I put it ALL of it in my tracker (all 17.5 points of glorius JUNK, plus my usual daily food) and just worked extra hard during the week to make up for it. And somehow, I made it! (I even had a fabulous loss this week - 2.1kg)

It never ceases to amaze me that nomatter how badly I lose control, if I just track it - Viola! I get control back again. I just want to encourage anyone who has had a bad food day. FORGIVE yourself, TRACK everything, and GET BACK on the wagon.

Hakuna Matata everyone!
