I know it's a tiny amount but I cried at losing this latest 1lb. I'm so proud of myself. I've been trying to lose 2 stone for about 17 years and could never do it. I'd try all these extreme things like hiring a personal trainer, going vegetarian, fasting etc and of course they never lasted. This time I read stuff about body positivity and how weight has zero to do with my worth as a person. I started to chill out, accept myself and just go very slowly. Turning 40 was the catalyst. I've been doing cico for 85 days and the weight is steadily coming down without any dramatic and unsustainable changes. The only difference is now I'm able to let myself feel actual hunger. Even with cheat days I'm still losing. Please don't give up - I highly recommend reading the book Body Positive Power by Megan Crabbe if your body image is making you feel down. It really helped me. Keep going everybody!!
