A Weight Lifted Update 7

7!!!! I know, but 7 is the magic number, as the scales showed I've lost my 1st half a stone today. I'm realistic that it won't always be like this, but going with it, as it's still a success, with what's been go on in me for the last week or so. Confronting my thoughts about the need to be protected from attention and my tendency to eat to fill inner emotional emptiness and self-sabotage have been hard, but I've been using strategies to distract and replace those thought patterns and feelings. I've also been trying to organise something and been confronted mostly with silence and the implied negativity of that that I've thought I've seen. But I am looking at silence as just meaning that, not apathy, not lack of support, just the inability to talk for whatever reason. I've got to remember I'm not a mind reader. I don't know what people think and they don't know what I am thinking, unless I tell them. And that we have choices on how we choose to see things - glass half full, not the glass half empty. 7 lbs :) yes.

Cue the fireworks... xx

[You might have guessed I like fireworks, but they don't always come out in photos :(. Probably the love is because I was a Bonfire Night baby. Arrived into the world on a rocket ;) bum first. I used to think I was special because no one else had fireworks on their birthday, but when I was a child, I was soon told that I wasn't special. Now I know that I am unique, only I am wired up quite how I am, although I share common threads with others, so really I am special, just as we all are.]
