Merry Christmas everyone. Have a really good one and don't eat and drink too much.

Got a few quiet minutes to blog while everyones out, so this will probably be my last blog before Christmas.

I've watched "The Biggest Loser" for a few years, both the English and the American ones, and I've always watched with envy, wishing I could be them. This year as I watched the final I turned to my husband and said "Oh my God I did it. I am like them. This year I'm not wishing I was them. I've done it" and in that moment it suddenly hit me how much weight I've lost over the last few months. I'm so happy and healthy now I could understand everything they were saying and how the weight loss had changed their lives. There were two men in the final and one woman. I always thought she was gorgeous from the beginning, but at the final she looked absolutely amazing. I told my husband that whatever weight she weighed in at I was having for my new goal weight. That weight was 9 stone 9lbs. So for now I'm seriously thinking about that target. I still want to hit my original target of 12 stone first, so I'm not changing my tracker just yet

Most of my clothes now are size 16 or 14 (yes 14!!!!). Even with the loose skin on my arms (I'll explain about that in another blog) I can still get into 16's easily. I'm still driving my husband mad though because I still keep picking up size 18's. I convincd myself that the size 16 etc (or whatever smaller size I'm in) is wrongly sized and is really a size bigger!!! I went to the market yesterday and was so tempted to buy a size 18 jeans (everyone says market sizes are smaller) but I forced myself to buy a 16 and they looked very small. Even when I was pulling them up my legs I thought "they're never going to fit", but they did, EASILY and with room to spare

So that's going to keep me on the straight and narrow over Christmas. My counsellor said to me last night "do this, do that etc. don't go too mad" then she looked at me and said "I know you won't will you. I don't know why I'm telling you"

I'm having a day off Christmas day. I'm planning on having a small glass of Baileys (not the large bottle I usually drink), a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings and a rum truffle (yes just the one). I've warned hubby not to let me stretch out the one day for another day etc. I've always had a problem with moderation

Anyway hope you all have a good one. See you after Christmas.

p.s. I lost 7lbs last night, so I'm way under 14 stone for Christmas
