I've hit a bit of a plateau. Now to calm myself down a bit and remind myself of how far I've come i'm comparing my vital stats, before and after.

I don't have my stats for my starting weight as I never took them as part of my denial.

But as of June last year I was 43inches round the bust, 36inches round my ribcage, I had a 37 inch waist and 48inch hips.

Now its May 2012. Almost a year on. I'm now 38inches round my bust, 30inches round my ribcage, I have a 29inch waist and 40.5inch hips.

I also compared my stats to alleged Celebrity measurements (Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Shakira, Salma Hayek, Christina Hendricks, Marilyn Monroe, America Ferrera etc) and I'm not that far off. I know we're all different body shapes, heights, weights, and carry our weight differently. I also know that its very likely that those measurements are wrong. But come on! its a bit of an ego boost. Its helped me to start the process of snapping out of that "fat girl" mentality.

If anyone else needs help or just wants to feel more positive about their weight loss. Then feel free to add your stats, its a much more positive and predictable way to see weight loss than the scales (less controlled by hormones, TOM, etc)
