How is it going ?

I love lemon sherbets, I always have some in this jar, just a little treat, but since the beginning of the new year I have resisted. I did stop buying them but then hubby got me 2 packs before Christmas, the 2nd pack is unopened and in my drawer.

I am feeling pleased with myself, I have lost weight, I have stopped regularly snacking and cut down my portion size, there is still room for me to cut back, but I would rather do this slowly and eat well.
I am wearing a pair of jeans I purchased last year, the waist got a bit tight, but now it's comfortable again, I love markers like this, it give me a real boost.
I have been out a few times, lunch out, coffee with friends and a Christmas get together with neighbours, which was delayed because of ill health, all of which I have manage, even had a couple glasses of wine. My sister and her partner stayed for a weekend, by planning these events, I can decide what to eat and drink and put it as part of my plan, I am not counting calories, or any normal diet 'things'.
I did have a bad few days middle of the month, I was feeling down, so instead of keeping to the eating less I allowed myself some treats, helped myself to feel better and get back on my path to losing weight.
I attended the 2nd Diabetes club, we are still looking at the why, rather than how to change, I have learnt how I find myself here, when I eat such a healthy diet, low fat, salt and sugar.

Results on the scales matter, and as you can see by my BMI, it has dropped a little, I reached my own target and have set another for this coming month, so February will be more the same, I also plan to walk again more often and for longer, having found my fitbit for counting steps.
