General September 11th, 2008Yesterday was a feast at home, but I managed to not overdo the food bit. I was fairly proud of myself. They do say that pride comes before a fall. But no falling as yet. Unless you consider the fact that I (yet again) did not manage to get up in the morning (for a walk) a fall.
You know, yesterday at work I was feeling pretty good about how I was looking. Not slim, by any angle, but pretty damn good. And then I realised that two years ago, when I was at the same weight as I am now, I used to feel so FAT. Don’t get me wrong, I realise I am still fat. But then I felt fatter at the same weight as I do now. How is that ever possible? Is that why I am happy with a 150 pounds target and six years back when I was actually 150 I felt like I was the fattest person around. I don’t understand. Maybe once you become really fat, you’re ok with being a little less fat. Whatever that means!
Today’s reason for losing weight…
Reason no 12: To look great, not just ‘not fat’

Hey, Goodlife, thanks for your posts on my blog! I totally agree with you - I feel so much less fat now than I did two years ago when I was this weight. Then I felt huge. Now, people are complimenting me and I’m fitting into smaller sizes. I guess the thing to do is enjoy the confidence but keep working to get to the place you really want to be. 150 sounds like a good number to me!

I’m now almost down to the weight I was last summer, and yeah, me too, I feel less fat now than I did then. I think for me, though, it’s because underneath all this fat I have actually grown a muscle or two - and I can move better and I can breathe better and I just FEEL better. Yep, that’s it for me anyway.
