think it's days like these that remind me of how far I've come. Before this year, I would have eaten it all and though nothing of it... now I feel truly ill.
Div, You said it there babe, and this awareness will mean that this is the year that you WILL suceed in getting healthy!

We had a sausage sizzle for dinner and I felt so guilty as they were "normal" butchers sausages (ie full fat) as they were the only ones left in the freezer instead of the lean 98% fat free lean steak ones I have been buying.

I started to feel guilty until DH said "Relax...it used to be that this is ALL you ate, with loads of slices of white bread spread with butter and onions fried in oil, and full fat mayo, along with a glass of wine or six or a huge glass of coke. Now you are having a sausage and salad. Its fine."

Ali, your bloke that spoke at work: he sounds like he has his head screwed on! I have noticed that since other people are associating me with "fit things" (ie freinds and family acknoledge that I now run for my hobby) that I have changed my perception of myself as well. Sad that it takes other peoples view to convince myself, but I'll admit to having to suck that one up: its just the way I am manufactured, LOL!
