PaulaMc Oct 2018 5:16pm, 7 Oct 2018 7,494 posts	Quote Pin PaulaMc Hi all Ive been following but not posted for a while. However I’ve had a bit of a breakthrough on the personal front: I think that I might have finally come to terms with the fact that my body has changed shape and it’s not changing back again. We went to a wedding reception on Friday evening and I had to take the day off to go shopping for something to wear after a (private) meltdown on Tuesday when I’d tried on my usual go-to dresses and none of them fitted. Luckily I found something that actually made me feel really good, a black high-neck jumpsuit in Next that was miles away from the usual type of thing I’d try on - just picked it up on a whim. I have now packed away all of those dresses. When I thought about it properly I realised that the newest of them was 6 years old, and the oldest at least 15(!): my body has gone through a lot in those years and to expect it to be the same shape and size is pointless. I will buy new ones when I need to which fit the me I am now, not the me I was then. I feel better now x

Love all of those posts It’s really positive to wear things “now” that you like & feel like the real you in... love the sound of the jumpsuit! Kwala.. that’s ace news! Good on you! I’ve has a good day painting.. mor on me than the piece of furniture lol! But a very positive creative day.. excellent! It’s really a good point about accepting your body, mine too, I’ve definately changed shape now. And it’s really obvious for my age group so I do agree that some of my work is totally about acceptance and making some positives about what I do have Love you lot You amaze me! A new week to play with & reading these things makes me feel yeeehaarrr!
The Scribbler Oct 2018 9:51am, 8 Oct 2018 4,163 posts	Quote Pin The Scribbler I tried the new gym near work this morning. Just did a tabata session with a 12k kettlebell that I could have done at home in my back yard, but I haven't been doing that, so now I'm paying for access to a gym environment that's an encouragement to use it. I have changed shape too and don't think I particularly dress for my shape, but as I have no interest in clothes, I don't particularly want to endure shopping for new stuff. My challenge is that I was like this in 2008, and started running and training and saw a change really quickly. Now it's taking more time to have an impact. I'd like to lose some of the bulk from round my middle so that I'm overall a bit healthier long term and hope that will help me run, cycle and swim a bit faster too. As well as looking less lumpish in photos.
