I have been sharing a lot about weight loss on this page ...
In December, I got bloods taken by my GP. I didn't expect to get a letter, just before Christmas, stating that I was pre-diabetic
Now I know there is a lot to consider around that but what that caused me to think was shame, guilt and embarrassment
I felt I was causing that to myself; like self harm
I was embarrassed to talk to anyone about it because they would think I'm greedy, lazy and fat and that is a bad thing!
Yes, a lot went on in my head!
That is why, after months of deliberating, I decided to commit to my health
Since mid-Jan, I have released nearly 2 stone, 4.7% body fat and more than that, non scale victories include:
- confidence - we hear that all the time but I can't put it into words how it makes you feel
- clothes - I said I wanted to wear my expensive coat and be able to "whoosh" the zip up ... and now I can
- self care - I feel like I matter; I deserve to be heard, to be seen and therefore I dress up like I am worthy of being seen
- I have dramatically reduced my sugar intake. I don't know if my bloods would mirror that but I will be getting bloods taken again shortly
- Knowledge - I have more knowledge about food and nutrition
- Exercise - I have started weight training. This was something I was always passionate about a few years ago. Starting back is incredible. I do 15,000 steps most days. If you are local and want a great place to train, check out United In Fitness Ltd iin Dalgety Bay!
So the non-scale victories far outweigh the physical
They go hand-in-hand
