Some positive stuff

I've noticed two positive things this week. The first thing is my big knickers: they fit better! They come up to my belly button where before they kind of slouched a couple of inches lower. It's a big thing for me. I daren't measure my waist and hips in case it's all an illusion and I haven't actually lost inches, but it FEELS like I have and that's good enough for me.
The other thing is that I find I'm not scuttling past the mirror, scared to look at myself. Even in my slobbiest everyday clothes I no longer feel flabby. I've been wondering whether the way I was eating before actually affected my brain and the way I perceived how I looked. I've heard it said that anorexics have a distorted view of their bodies and believe that they look fat even when they are little more than skeletons. Again even if I haven't lost weight, I feel as though I look better to myself and that'll do for me. Smiley, hopeful, positive Liz is a nice Liz to be around.:-)
