The mind journey

I was just reading the WW forums and came across a lass that had written how bad she was feeling another lady had written a lovely post in reply which made me think about how my thoughts of myself have changed. When I first started this journey I wore board shorts with my bathers to do aquarobics, the thought of anyone seeing my legs horrified me, then one day I woke up and realised who gives a flying toss these are my legs deal with it and I have no more board shorts in fact I gave them to the salvos with the rest of the clothes that now longer fit. I had a conversation with a board short wearing friend about me not wearing board shorts anymore and how these are my legs who cares what anyone else thinks, she agreed I had a good point and she no longer wears them!!! I no longer think negatively about myself at all I look at all the positives which is what I do with all things in my life apart from myself funny that is it. I'm not saying they don't pop into my head when I'm looking at myself nude in the mirror but I focus on the fact that I know have a waist or I no longer have a double chin or I actually have a bum until it drowns out the negative. Anyway I just wanted to share how my mind has changed in the short time Ive been doing WW.
I don't know how I will go at weigh in this week its ttom so my scales have stayed the same at home my food has been good and exercise has just been swimming and aqua again since my ankle still isn't right hopefully Ill get a walk in today if this rain holds off fingers crossed.
I have decided to go back to full time work starting the 17th November I'm very excited Ive been busy trying to get all the paper work for the childcare benefit and rebate sorted so Thomas can start on the 10th November to give him time to settle in and so Ill be available to pick him up if he gets in to a real state. I went there yesterday to ask a few more questions and ended up leaving him there to have lunch, a sleep and play and of course he loved it when I went to put him in the car after picking him up he kept pointing at the place like he wanted to go back in hahahah so I don't think we will have to much trouble with him settling in. I think the main problem will be dropping him off in a good mood at 630 in the morning he usually wakes up at 8 so it will be interesting.
Anyway better go have some lunch and put Thomas to bed for his nap
