Birds Flying High You Know How I Feel

Something's changed in me recently and it's a good thing. I don't spend my life being depressed by any means, but for the first time in a while I can put my hand on my heart and say I'm actually really happy. I still hate my job, but I've found that I can handle the crap that I feel from that because I feeling generally so good. I've been going to Slimming World for about 14 months and to date I have lost 3 stone 9 and 1/2 Lb - ten of which I've lost in the last two weeks. These last two weeks I've found it so easy to stick to. Plus, I've found myself wanting to do exercise for the first time in a long time - maybe because I actually have the ability to do it now! So every other day I'm riding 15 to 20 km and I feel so good during and after it that I just want to do more and more. I feel like at 27 I'm getting my life back from being stuck inside me, and it's great.
This renewed vigour has spread itself throughout my life. I'm rediscovering and falling in love again with music. With my beautiful CDs. All 600 odd of them. Each day I get up and am excited about what album I'm going to pick to listen to on the way to work.
I'm slightly scared about writing this blog. For two reasons really. First because I find my weight an incredibly hard thing to talk about. It took me 24 sessions before I could talk to my therapist about it. But I'm tackling it now and I'm getting my head straight on secretive eating and stuff which is helping every day. And every day it gets easier to deal with and easier to talk about. And each time I talk about it my secrets lose their power over me.
The second reason for being scared is because I don't want to scare off this good mood! A bit like a baby deer - by letting it know I'm here I hope it won't run away!
