Fat fighters

Tonight was my first weigh in at Slimming World.

Given that last week wasn’t the ideal one to start, I’ve managed to lose 1.5lbs.

For anyone who hasn’t been to SW, for the first four weeks, they ask that you complete a food diary.
No big deal, but I felt the need to add a disclaimer to mine; that I’m not a total alcoholic, I just had a voucher to use for a gin tasting session!

I’m much better prepared for this week, alcohol free of course.

Todays blip is a visual prop, originally a motivator from the group leader (but shamelessly stolen and replicated for my own use).
For anyone trying to lose weight, beating themselves up over not losing it fast enough or being over critical of themselves for ‘only’ losing half a pound.

These three blocks of lard represent what I’ve lost this week; each block being half a pound. Although it’s not apparent just yet where those blocks have melted away from, I’m glad they have ;-)
