Yep, you’re right. Sister-in-law started walking, joined a gym & only does classes she enjoys. Food is only a part of it & exercise just makes you feel better about yourself, even when that first foot out the door is a toughie.

I think the reason most diets fail is because people go on the diet and then reach their goal,end it & then put the weight back on again – I know that’s what my s-i-l found. 3 years makes it a life change & if you’re enjoying the new you, there’s no reason to go back.😊👍

Sister-in-law has been on same journey and has thrown or sold off her old stuff along the way. I thought perhaps that it’s also a way of psychologically shedding &/or burning your ships so you can’t go back.

Have you ditched your old clothes?

Rosie is blind so I don’t know how she does it but she’s managed to mirror Rigg. (They couldn’t’ve spoken about because Rigg’s deaf.)

I spent a day trying to find Norman Rossington to give him his bag of meat back.
