I reached my goal and then it all went wrong. pt2
There I was 21lbs lighter and looking better than I ever had I felt amazing, I looked pretty good and I was getting compliments left right and centre.

So what went wrong? Well firstly I didn’t reach my actual goal. I was 9lbs off the number I wanted and no matter what I did, I couldn’t shift it. I think because my target date, the awards, had been and gone the motivation to reach the number faded. After all I didn’t look bad I was almost a uk10 but not quite and that was great. So, although I was still trying (because I wanted that magic number I’ve never reached and because I got my 21lb certificate that said I could do it) the weight didn’t move.
I had also at this time fallen for the best guy in the world and he liked me just the way I was. I entered the comfort zone. All the old excuses came out, perhaps I’m just not meant to be that skinny, I’m heavier set than a dainty girl blah, blah, blah.
So I stopped getting on the scales and by the next awards December 2016 the weight was already creeping back on. I combination of comfort, eating out a lot more, and not paying attention were to blame.
Although, I did get on the scale and notice the increase of half a stone and I would berate myself for letting it happen. I would try to be good with my food and the next week the scale says, ‘you didn’t try hard enough’ and the next week I’d be back where I started. My response well I’m still in my jeans and not as big as I was so I don’t care.
But I did care, I just didn’t want to try, it frustrated me that I have to be so careful all the time when others around me eat what they like. It bothered me that, I want to eat more than others and at those times it was the wrong foods I was attracted too. So, I’d forget about it again it upset me too much. This cycle happened several times over the last year and a half and each time there were more pounds showing on the scale and I was edging closer to where I started.
