Optimism

It was a lovely sunny day today, and warm. It felt like the first day of Summer, arrived early. It made me feel light hearted. I enjoyed my journey from, and even to, work. A bit of sunshine makes all the difference, especially when you are traveling on the coast. There's nothing like looking out over the sea, in sunshine.

My mood was enhanced by thoughts of my weight loss. The fact that I've consistently eaten healthily for six weeks now has made me optimistic about the chances of my ultimate success, with this as my final foray into being fat. Even when I am happily within a healthy weight range, I'm sure I will always have to be conscious of my relationship with food. It is definitely unhealthy. I'd say it boarders on obsessive. I think I have an addictive personality, and that manifests in how I deal with food. But in my positive mood today, that didn't seem burdensome. I felt that as long as I get to my goal, I can deal with how I treat food long term.

I even felt good in my clothes today. Actually, I've felt like that all week so far. It's a great way to feel. It makes me smile and walk tall. It even makes me nicer in work! Long may it continue. It's down to me sticking to my calorie allowance and knowing that I'm not cheating myself. I am having small amounts of chocolate as a treat, not feeling deprived, and working it in to my daily food. I'm not having it every day, so it actually is a treat and not an entitlement.

Yip. I'm feeling good :-)
