After
the excitement of yesterday, today was really about staying on track and not
listening to that ever-present inner voice which tells you ‘just one won’t hurt’. The morning started with a nice mix of
banana, natural yoghurt and honey for breakfast, followed by one of my
favourite dished from the restaurant EAT, a chicken laksa soup with fresh
spinach and spring onions and for dinner I grilled some chicken breasts in some
paprika, garlic and parsley and steamed some brussel sprouts, broccoli and
cauliflower, which left me feeling very satisfied.
Today
I have also been looking at some of my suits and noticing that they’re starting
to need replacing due to the weight I’ve lost.
I’ve taken my belt in two notches so far, which has left my trousers and
suit jacket 
very baggy. Several people
have said to me that significant weight loss is expensive and they’re not
wrong! Constantly buying new clothes,
especially suits is going to cost a fortune, but the key to long-term weight
loss is to throw any clothes that are too big away (recycle / ebay), as that
then created another expensive barrier for you to have to break through if you
did regain any weight. It is also a
great way of knowing whether or not you have put on weight, rather than having
a wardrobe with a variety of shapes and sizes, as I do at the moment. Meh, I do dislike shopping…something which I
hope will be somewhat easier when I can buy clothes from high street stores off
of the peg!

I had one man who kept wearing the same belt, eventually he had to put notches in himself and it almost wrapped around him. It was his little 'spur me on', its a good feeling if a bit 'ouch' on the old wallet. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. To regularly stand-back and take stock of the progress so far is actually a fantastic additional motivator. For me, buying clothes off of the peg has been an issue for a very long time and it always pains me to spend a few hundred pounds on something which those who can buy in high street chains pay tens of pounds for. Never mind, onwards and upwards! I hope you too have had an enjoyable weekend.
