Um . . .good question really.

The rest of my life is extrememly gone to sh*t and very depressing (long term job/career stuff etc etc) so I guess at least this was one thing I was in control of, the gym sessions gave my life structure and let my mind switch off, and seeing the progress in the changes in my body at least gave me one positive aspect of my life to focus on. Also the shock of photos i got done in december and the reaction of my own mother to my weight gain, having always been a slim person and what i now realise was 20 pounds creeping on over the course of only a year a so.

But part of my sh*tty life is that I am temping in a very dull office job and NOTHING in my life has changed for (the better for) 6 months, so I have the time and flexible working hours to focus on this. I couldn't have done it if my life was non stop stress so don't be too hard on yourself!
