It has been a while but I felt it was worth doing a proper progress update again!  Not a huge change in my weight, but IT IS DOWN!  yay   A little bit all adds up in the long term after all.

My pelvis is still playing up sadly and is causing me a lot of pain…but I live in hope that each time I go and get readjusted back that it will stick this time.  My specialist is getting me a special belt/sling to wear that will hopefully help stabilise me and things will get better for me. Seeing her again on Thursday thankfully.

An annoying thing I have noticed is that since I have been stable at around 80kg for so long now I have become used to my new size and shape and am no longer proud of the changes I have made.  Now when I look in the mirror all I notice is that I still have a lot of weight to lose still.  I guess this is what people who are already thin must feel when they gain a few kilograms.  I also have the perspective of what I look like thin (and crave to look like that again), as 10 years ago I weighed somewhere around 51 – 54 kg  (I can’t quite remember)….and remember the huge changes a kg made.  Don’t get me wrong…I am delighted with the progress I have made so far. Anyway, as I start to lose more weight I know my body will begin to surprise and delight me as it changes.  The paper roll effect should start to kick in soon and each kilo lost will be more obvious.

Hope everyone is happy and doing well.
