Making Adjustments

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.
