Unlike *some* people on this server, I am now at an age and state of health where I have to watch what I eat and what I weigh. I’ve been pre-diabetic for a few years. Two years ago my blood glucose put me within a gnat’s crochet of actual diabetes. So I went on a drastic low carb, low calorie diet, lost about 25kg and the glucose returned to normal. Now some of that weight has come back, a pattern I’ve had all my life and which many of you will be familiar with.

A lot of the clothes I bought when I lost the most recent weight, no longer fit and are uncomfortable. While I’m trying to shed that regained weight, I gave in and bought new clothes.

What I’ve noticed is that when I wear the new stuff, I feel happier about my body and more inclined to feel positive towards adjusting my diet and losing the weight.

When I wear the tight stuff, I feel being fat and unhealthy, and that I will never get back to a healthier weight. 1/2
