One Chip at a Time
Today marks a big milestone: I’m officially 52% of the way through my journey to lose 6 stone - that’s 3 stone and 2 lbs down since January.
It hasn’t always been smooth. Just three weeks ago I hit a rough patch and seriously considered quitting. But instead of spiralling, I stuck to the system. I didn’t gain. I kept going. And that quiet persistence is what I’m most proud of.
What’s worked? Chipping away daily. Tracking progress. Trusting the process. When I look back at photos and charts, I can see how far I’ve come - even if day-to-day it sometimes felt like nothing was changing.
This time around feels different. I’m not “dieting” - I’m learning how to live differently. I still enjoy good food, even on holidays and special occasions. It’s just about making better, more mindful choices. I’ve even discovered a love of swimming, and I’ve set my sights on my first marathon in June - something I’d never have thought possible at 20+ stone!
I’m doing this for myself, for my family, and for my future self. At the start, I wrote a letter to that outlined my “why.” That letter still drives me today as I head into the second half of this journey.
Weekly check-in sessions are helping too, as is learning from others on a similar path. I’ve not been perfect - I know I need more gym work alongside the cardio - but this feels realistic to maintain. It’s starting to feel like my new normal.
Thanks to everyone here for the encouragement and private messages. Onwards and upwards... three more stone to go!
