Life is full of obstacles

As you know I am currently following slimming world. I have mentioned before that I am by no means new at it, I have been doing slimming world for years. The last few months I have been so focused... I finally achieved my 2 stone award which after all the time I have been going, I have never achieved, in fact I always saw it as somewhat of a brick wall that no matter how hard I tried I could not get over!

The last few weeks I have had some really good weeks, the first week I lost 4 pounds then I stayed the same and the last 2 weeks I lost half a pound each week. When you have been so good, it's gutting the stay the same. The first week I was so gutted to stay the same. Then when I lost half last week, and the week before, and sitting in group, something clicked with me. At the time there was one of the young girls, a similar age to me talking about going with her friends. She was talking about how hard she finds it when she goes out with her friends because they all drink when they go out. Now I have never been one to go out drinking on the town but it made me think not just about drinking but being a young person in general. When I think about the stereotype of young "obese" generation of today it makes me think... There are so many people my age and younger who don't even think about keeping fit, healthy eating or things like that, a lot of it is fast food and take aways.

I may not be at the place I want to be, or happy but at least I am doing something about it. I think I would rather be losing half a pound a week than gaining pounds. I am really focused on being healthy  and making changes to my life that will help my future. I am going to take each day and week as it comes and stop being so hard on myself.
