OK….big deep breath……I think I finally see the body changes.
I went into town today and tried on some wool trousers. As usual I took a size I knew would fit and a size I thought might fit. The little ones were almost too big.
I repeated the exercise in another shop with the same results.
At one point I muttered to myself, “You’re almost small.”
Doesn’t sound like much but it’s quite a big deal.
NOW…..here’s what usually happens when I get to this stage: I don’t take the time to look carefully at my smaller self and get used to what I look like. Instead, I get focused on the farcical idea that “the diet is over” and I start eating anything I want. Before I look in the mirror again, the moment is over. And six months down the line, I’m back to where I started.
So this time, it’s all going to happen SLOWWWWWWWLY.
I’m going to keep trying things on and remarking that I am almost small.
I am going to keep journalling what I’m eating.
I’m going to keep noticing until, well, I’m not sure until what. I’ll let you know when I get there.
