Today marked the loss of 5kg. It's not the first time I've lost 5kg, and it won't be the last.... but it IS the first and last time I lose THESE 5kg. Back when I started the work 'Biggest Loser' in 2011, I lost nearly 20kg in 12 weeks. My first weigh in was 134.7kg and for the next 3 years I had a post-it stuck to my computer screen with that number on it. It's also tattooed on my wrist, so I kinda can't forget it.
Today I'm back at the weight I was when I finished that challenge (115kg). 3 years of going backwards and forwards, up and down on the scale. No more.
No more rules. No more 'I'm never eating xxx again'. Just living. Living healthily, looking towards the future, indulging when it's worth it, saying no when it's not. That's how normal people live. I'm normal.
So I lost 5kg, and I'll lose some more. 5kg at a time, until I'm done. I don't know when that will be, but I do know it'll be a long time before I'm finished. I'm finally coming to grips with that fact - I don't like it, but it's the truth. The truth hurts, but so do I when I'm fat and unhealthy. The only way is forward. Here's to the next 5kg!
