"To be beautiful means to
be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept
yourself." - Thich Nhat Hanh
It’s very weird having people
stay as it throws your routine out, once I got home yesterday went by in a blur
if I’m honest and my diet went out the window again once I’d eaten breakfast, although
I did enjoy a nice bit of salmon with some broccoli.
Today I’m at work most of the
day so order will be restored; I’ll try and stay out of the way as much as possible
because my brother is going to start decorating.
3 more sleeps till my holiday,
I can’t wait, I’ve got me a couple of books for reading, have downloaded 3 onto
my kindle, 20p for a book , that’s madness!

This will be my Christmas
read, sounds good, and something completely different.
It was great to see one of my
members Kelly lose weight yesterday taking her total to 76lb and now she’s only
a stone away from goal, what an amazing achievement in less than a year! She joined on January 16th of this
year and is now almost five and a half stone lighter which is just brilliant
and shows that change and success is possible.
For me what’s even better than
seeing weight loss in my meeting, is listening to members tell me that although
the plan to enjoy Christmas they don’t intend to just go ridiculously overboard
because they realise it actually isn’t that enjoyable!
I love it when I see something
click inside a person, it maybe that they realise food doesn’t have to be such
a major issue, or it may be that they realise they’re fabulous just the way
they are and weight loss is more about health than being attractive. I love watching a member turn into a happy
owl, there really is no greater satisfaction for me, it makes everything I do
worthwhile.
Yesterday I took the first
batch of food etc to the food bank and they were really chuffed, even more so
when I told them it wouldn’t be the only donation hopefully. Taking it really makes me grateful for
everything I have, as long as I have a roof over my head, food in my belly and
people to love anything else is a bonus.
As crazy as it is to have
people staying in my house, it was lovely to have a living room full of
laughter last night, it’s just a shame I can’t keep my eyes open too late, I had
to leave them to it I’m afraid, a 5am start calls for a reasonable time to go
to bed too.
It’s only a week away! Hope you’re all ready for it. xx
