The Tortoise & The Hare

We are now into May and I am currently at 25 1/2 lb gone, and as much as I know this is a great achievement, alot more than I have reached in any recent years, and 1/4 of the way to losing all my marbles lol.....

.... but i have to be honest and say I have been getting a little frustrated lately that it isnt moving as fast as I would like.  Other people seem to lose faster than I do, and success stories that I see on the Facebook groups and in the magazines reflect stories of people losing alot more in a shorter time than I have. 

Before anyone tells me off, I know this is not important, hence the title of this post, The Tortoise & The Hare. I know as long as it comes off that it's not a race, slow and steady is the way, and yes like the Hare I will get there.  It doesnt stop how you feel though does it, it doesnt stop that want, need, desire for the weight just to drop off.

Then added to the frustration, becomes the desperation.  I am now feeling desperation to get to my 2 stone mark, and then keep telling myself that once I pass this and i am in the 30lb + area its a whole different feeling to where I am now.

I think part of the problem is I don't see it yet, i don't see a difference. yes the clothes are looser, even a size smaller, and the rings on my fingers now spin around unlike before, and the jacket I was given to wear for work, which just fit around the hips and bum (slightly embarrassing when your bigger than the men you work with) now doesn't need to be stretched quite so far as before. All good signs but not in my head, i still see me, the one I don't like and so desperatly want to change. 

The other problem is I haven't been hitting the small goals I have set myself on here. which then ends up making me feel like I have failed.  I think maybe I should stop being so hard on myself and as much as I think small goals are a good idea, maybe I need a more realistic time for me to reach each silver seven.

Just to add to my post, its been another bank holiday weekend, and yet again no plans have made it slightly tricky to keep on track.  Then today I took the wrong path altogether, but I have found the sat nav, programmed in WW Goal and I am set to get back on track tomorrow morning. 

Slow & steady does it Dolittle x x
