I joined a new group on FB as I've been feeling lousy. It's called Morning Motivation and the people in it are just like me. Dealing with depression, anxiety, social phobia or chronic pain. We help motivate each other to do household tasks which can seem overwhelming.
With the help of this group and facing my tasks with 'before' photos I did all of the washing up, put it away and cleaned the counters. My kitchen looks fab (apart from the floor) its a great group.
Now I have to go to weigh in and I'm not feeling optimistic. Still fighting a cold and feeling shivery and the weather is miserable. Not sure if I will stay to group today. But will update you when I get back...
Update: Ok I lost 1lb which is not terribly impressive but its still one whole pound and 5 in total. It's disheartening when ppl post on FB - "yay I've lost a stone in 3 weeks!" But then I think how much longer their journey will be than mine because they must be so much heavier. I only ever lost 7lb in a week and that was by doing Dukan and will have been mostly water.
The point is I'm not disappointed. I'm going to have to get used to the slow steady progress and if it continues this way I could lose 20lb by summer and reach target by xmas.
