A Little Perspective

Yesterday I was very grumpy about the fact that I had put on more weight at Slimming World on Thursday weigh in and I did moan about it.

I was really annoyed that for the second week in a row I put on weight.

But I blogged about it and then tried to forget about it as Mr L and I had a date night as the boys were staying at their Nanny and Grandads for the evening.

While we were out we took some pictures and for the first time I could really see the difference in how we both look.

So I went and found some of our older pictures and did a little comparison.

And actually the difference is huge and it gave me a little perspective.

This photo was taken of us both when we camping in March last year.

This was when we were both at our heaviest to be honest.

This was us yesterday.

Between us we have lost nearly 6 stone in that time.

And that is huge.

Yes it is annoying that we have both put on weight over the last two weeks.

But since last march the weight we have put on is a tiny little speck in the ocean compared to the weight that we have lost since we first started.

We look so different.

We are both in different size clothes.

We have both lost a huge amount of weight. More than what Boo’s weighs.

A whole child’s worth.

And that is huge.

And yes I am still not totally happy I have put this weight on, but I see it with more perspective now.

It is a small dip in our weight loss.

And the actual weight loss journey has been huge and strong.

And that is something to be super proud off!
