I wish I could say that the process of remodeling the body was not frustrating. It is d*m**d frustrating! We could start a collective whinge club if we put our minds to it.
I deliberately did not say losing weight or dieting. I now do not consider myself to be "on a diet". In fact actual weight loss for me has been stalled for a few weeks, gaining and losing the same pound for a while. But I feel good and I am not turning back.
It some ways the pounds lost on induction are a false dawn, the rate cannot be sustained. Looking at the mountain to climb is so daunting that the mind boggles. But speed is not the end result.
Last Sunday saw the London marathon race and it was run in a record time by remarkable athletes. But the biggest support was for the "runner" who came last he became a national hero. He walked the marathon for charity, with a disability and in full deep sea diving gear complete with lead boots. It took him five days and he recorded the slowest time for any marathon in the world. But he made it and got his finishers medal.
You will make it. But you must expect it to be a bumpy road and remember you are starting with lead boots.
I just know you have a sense of humour. Anyone who calls themselves MrsTweety must have either seen the movie Chicken Run or is pathologically afraid of puddy cats. Smile
often, the slim thin gym fanatics are so deadly serious. It is a well known fact that you cannot smile broadly and mean it and remain depressed.
Now have I told you the joke about the bishop and the actress?
