Reflecting on change...

So I have mentioned quite a bit on here that I am currently doing slimming world. When I started this blog, including things about slimming world wasnt something which I envisaged doing although at the time, I dont think I really knew what I wanted.
At the moment Slimming World is quite a big part of my life. Now I am by know means a new member to slimming world as you know. I have been doing it on and off for years know, Ive lost a stone, slowly gained it back, given up, started again.
I seem to be *fingers crossed* on a roll at the moment and finally broke through what has always been a barrier for me, getting my 2 stone!

On instagram the other day, people were posting transformation posts during throw back thursday and I though I would join in. It isnt until you actually look back and see a photo of yourself now against an old photo you can really grasp how far you have come and i was quite shocked!

The photo on the left is me now, this photo as you may recognise was last weekend when I went to the Prom party. The photo on the right is New Year last year. I couldnt believe the difference when I saw it. It doesnt look massive but I can certainly see a difference.

Obviously losing just over 2 stone, i have obviously dropped a dress size (2 in some things) which thrills me. I think the best thing about losing weight is not just about the number on the scales but as someone who loves fashion, I love when I can get into smaller clothes. I know that my journey is far from over with Slimming World, but i know that I can only benefit from losing the excess weight, toning and getting fitter. However seeing photos like this only spurs me on more!
