I\u00a0can&#8217;t tell\u00a0you how good that feels. I still have a way to go, but I&#8217;m determined to keep on\u00a0with\u00a0it.\u00a0I&#8217;ve found my diet easy to stick to and when I&#8217;ve had a &#8216;bad&#8217; day or snacking setbacks I haven&#8217;t let it hold me back &#8211; instead I&#8217;ve treated the following day as a fresh start. I&#8217;ve also been doing more exercise (well, walking. I haven&#8217;t joined a <em>gym<\/em>, or anything.) And gratifyingly, my combats are now so loose they fall off when I walk up the stairs.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.livingwithkids.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/6\/scales_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"177\" \/>\r\nOf course I&#8217;m not saying nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. I still love chocolate and cheese. But to paraphrase Joey Tribbiani, my clothes fit a little better, I have more energy and I&#8217;m definitely feeling more confident about going on that beach.\r\nwritten by Liz Jarvis","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have you been dieting to get ready for your summer holiday?
