I've lost 2lbs this week, not as good as last week but still a great loss :) So that brings me up to the total of 17lbs so far. I'm half way to my goal at 7 weeks, I've got 7 more weeks until I start back at university not sure if I'll make it all the way to 35lbs but hopefully a good bit more will come off by then.
My aim originally was to lose 10% of my original body weight (19lbs) in 14 weeks as I've only got to lose 2 more lbs to reach that goal, I'm gonna aim to be a 11st something by the time I'm back so I've got to lose at least 6lbs. It's less than a 1lb a week and taking my holiday in Tenerfie and weekend in Aber into account, I think its a reasonable goal that I think I can accomplish and possibly beat. I'm not going to set myself to lose all 35lbs as I think that's too much pressure and my weight loss will begin to settle down over the next few weeks to a 1lb-2lb a week.
Its absolutely mental to think I've lost that much as I don't think my mind has caught up yet as I'm still having the whole 'my belly is huge' when its a hell of a lot smaller than it was. I'm wearing size 16 jeans that I couldn't pull up around my hips before but now am having to pull them up when I'm walking around as the waist is loose on them. I may actually need to wear a belt o.O I forgot what it felt like to wear clothes that were too big for you, its a very odd feeling when you've got accustomed to everything you wear feeling unbelievably tight and being scared of bending over in case you rip whatever you're wearing.
Thought I'd try and put my weight loss into some perspective so I can feel a little prouder of myself and grasp the reality of what I've lost. A can of Branston's Baked Beans (410g) is approx 1lb in weight including the can. So I have lost 17 cans of baked beans off my body. I can't imagine even picking it up, yet I've been carrying it around most of this year. It doesn't make me wonder why I used to get so out of breath walking!
