Feelings ...

I have experienced such a range of feelings and emotions since starting this journey nearly one year ago. I have felt elation at the first few kilos lost, wonder at achieving my goals where before I have failed. I have had manic feelings towards the scales - there have been times when I could have kissed them and placed them on a pedestal and others times I could have carried them to the highest building and chucked them off the roof (after kicking the sh*t out of them). I have felt appreciation for all the hundreds of wonderful compliments I have received. I have felt such tiredness after waking up time and time again at 5.30/6 am to fit in a walk. I have felt jealousy towards other who just eat all my 'bad foods' without even blinking an eyelid! I have felt such wonder at the amazing people I have met through Blogland - a year ago I knew none of you and now you are so important to me.

I have felt despair, jubilation, guilt, happiness, such great sadness, such great pride in myself ..........

Wow, reading your posts brings everything home to me about why we all do this. We have all felt such a range of emotions in the last 12 months and we're all so happy for the support we get from our blogger buddies. None of us could do this without the support we get. It's great.
Hope you're having a great day!

Hi Nancy! Just caught up on your last few posts, it was interesting to see all your photos (the boys and the kitten are gorgeous), but there are no recent ones of you.... ???

You sound like you're right back on track (hot chips aside) and your Priceless comment is oh-so-true!

LOL @ Kathryn - I was thinking the same!

Dealing with the gamut of emotions seems to be the theme in this blog community at the moment. It's great that you are so aware and realise that it's simply one element of battle in a war you are winning.

Thanks for posting your before photos, looking forward to seeing your big smile in the next lot.
