Hi and welcome back!
Whe you started FAT-SCRAP I gave you a wirst band with the words, Strength, Knowledge and Support on it, reminding you some of the things that FAT-SCRAP is all about and reminding you that you have all these things already, you just may have not be using them.
Today, I invite you to share with us how you are now using your strength, your knowledge and your self support to help you achieve your goals.

Hi Girls, well not feeling too well today, headache and sore throat!! Really hoping its not going to materialise into anything too horrible. Due to not feeling well, missed today's session with Sue. I did however take the dog on an hours walk which cleared the head a little, but now starting to flag again!! Early night for me I think!
With regard to your todays thoughts above Sue, I am really finding the strength from you and the rest of the group, being so positive and supportive. My knowledge of eating the right foods is increasing together with exercising which I am growing to enjoy more and more each week. I know the past month I havent put all my heart and soul into the plan, and that is shown in the plateau of weight, however I know I have the strength to get back on the right track and achieve my goals.

Hi girls,
So sorry to hear that Pear and Jayne are not feeling well - hope you are better soon girls.
I have been good today and stuck to the plan but have to admit I felt very hungry all day! Not sure why but reckon it could be a bit of PMT. I'm having to look in my diary to work out my dates as I just don't get the other physical symptoms I used to get anymore which is wonderful. Funny how I have the emotional ones today though? Managed to beat the starving feelings off with a stick and very proud I haven't reached for anything sugary!
People have really started to notice my weight loss now and several mums in the school car park have commented. Its really strange though...in the past it mattered to me SO much what other people thought of me but now I find I'm caring less and less - apart from the people I really care about that is.
So with that in mind I shall answer Sue's question...
The STRENGTH I have gained is helping me to be more confident and happy within myself that I do not need other people's approval anymore.
My increased KNOWLEDGE of what foods to eat is helping me to increase my energy levels and to feel confident that I am reducing my weight and body fat in a healthy way.
My SELF SUPPORT is building every day. At first I felt like a baby who is unable to walk, needing to be carried, occasionally testing my strength on two legs. Then a toddler who takes a few tentative steps holding a supportive hand. Now I feel like I am walking around confidently on my own - supporting myself. I still have people watching me and encouraging me but I feel closer each day to being able to go it alone confidently.
So yes, all in all with each day that passes I feel closer to my goals and it's such a wonderful journey to be on! I'm finding that I'm enjoying every stage of this and growing so much as a person. Reminds me of one of my favourite books..The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It is the story of a shepherd boy who goes off in search of gold. When he evntually finds it he recognises that the journey to get there was just as enriching and important to him - in fact more so - than the gold itself.
So I hope that answers your question Sue and please let me thank you again for guiding me on my journey xx
Happy Birthday Jayne, from all of us! So sorry you had to spend it with flu! Now tell him to go away..we want you back with us!! x x x
