Anyway, I've moved a little bit lower, though not much. 84.7kg. Weight loss seems to have stalled, but again, I don't care too much right now. It'll be good to just "sit" at a weight for a little while I think. Though, it is a little annoying when people keep asking, "how much have you lost now," and the number remains the same. TBH, I wish they'd just not ask... if they asked every month or so it'd be fine, but it seems to be every time I see them (so once a week basically). Obviously the numbers have slowed now... I can eat more than I could previously, and my body is getting closer to a normal weight, so it's not as eager to lose as it was earlier on.
I said I'd let you know what I had for Christmas, so here's what I ate as my sit-down meal:
*Half a turkey meatball
*A small bit of pork crackling
*About 1 bite of roast pork with gravy
*Attempted to chew up some roast beef, but I knew if I swallowed it, I'd spew or be really uncomfortable, so spat it out.
That's seriously all I had. Disappointing, considering the amount of time it took to prepare and then cook everything... I am really hoping that in a few years time I can at least manage a toddler portion. Cooking has become so less enjoyable now, since I can't really eat what I cook. It doesn't seem worth it when I can only have a few mouthfuls...
As I've said before, I prepared to eat less, but some days it irritates me just how little I can eat... when you cook a Christmas meal, you kind of hope to at least get a bite of everything... which is what I had thought was a realistic expectation. I think it depends on the day though - I think another day I could have probably managed to do that... but for some reason my tummy was just not cooperating on Christmas Day.
Oh well, I have leftovers in my freezer and will be able to try everything soon enough.
I guess it's time for some progress pics... someone requested some pics the other day, and I wasn't going to post them here, but I was impressed with my curves in the photo, so I wanted to share...
The before and "now" shot
That was Boxing Day I think. I also have some other pics to share... just taken today. I wanted to try on my new "uniform," for beauty school to see how it looks. I've got to wear black, and while I'm not certain, I think I'm not supposed to reveal much cleavage or any armpit... basically modestly dressed really. This is all going from my previous beauty courses, but I figure it's better to be safe. Given I've become too small for most of my clothes, I had to go pick up some black items... I'll use the shorts in the pic above, but also grabbed a $20 knit top from Portmans, and a skirt that is JUST not too big from City Chic for $20. Definitely good buys... I never end up spending so little. So here are my progress pics in those clothes...
Btw, my towels aren't always like that, I pushed them over to the side so I didn't blend in with them! lol.
Speaking of clothes, I used some Christmas money to go shopping and get some new clothes from Hell Bunny. I found a great store for them, and I'll link you: http://emeraldswamp.com.au/
It's cheaper than a lot of places, and has a few Hell Bunny items I've not seem before - including a lovely GREEN dress (which I ordered). Actually, I just had a look - I got them on sale, but the sale is now over. YAY! Well, yay that I got in while the sale was on... not yay that it's no longer on. lol.
I'll definitely update when I get them, they've been sent now so I'll hopefully see them in not too much longer. They're being delivered via courier though, so might be a bit longer than usual. Say to expect from about 4th...
ANYWAY... hope everyone had a great Christmas and enjoy any holidays you get off from here on out.
I've been wondering do you feel hungry and frustrated that you can't eat more, or you just feel full and don't want food?
