How I did it
It made me
richer 
How I did it: I got a job at a local cafe, still living with my mum, I have no bills to pay or mouths to feed, so I get to keep my wages, even the taxman doesn't get his share. The only money I've spent is £100 which I lent to someone (and am still awaiting repayment), and the occassional treat for myself. Before buying something, I think to myself, 'do i really need this?' the answer is mostly no. Yes, that top might look nice, but I have a million ot… Read how I did it…
It made me
richer
How I did it: Okay, so I haven't got a house to pay for, mouths to feed, bills to pay (thank you, mother!), I still wanted some more money. I phoned around some local placed, one place asked me to write a letter, I couldn't be bothered. I kept meaning to, but never did. Then, eventually I got round to phoning the place I currently work at. Got an informal interview next day, and started work that week end. The conditions are pretty good there, and the … Read how I did it…
It made me
Feel better
How I did it: The main reason I wnated to cut back was for the sake of my teeth, my poor, poor teeth. Too many fizzy drinks have led to an array of fillings. I detest the dentist, I am petrified. Coke is the main culprite, thanks to the phosphoric acid. Now, if I do go for a soda, I go for a non-cola one. Seldomly drink it now though. Read how I did it…

weighed in at 144.7 today! That makes me one and a half lbs down from last week, which is amazing, considering I’ve eaten out a couple of times, went out drinking couple of times. Maybe green te does work after all!
went through LOADS of old clothes I’d stuffed into bin bags under my bed a couple of years ago – because I’d gained so much weight they didn’t fit, but I was always saying I would fit into them again soon.
But of course not, it’s taken 2 years for me to start losing weight. I put loads into a charity bag which I know will never fit again – from my underweight days.
I’m also very embarrassed at the number of clothes which still had the label on – never worn because I’d bought them saying that they don’t fit but they will soon, and they never did. Such a waste of money! I’ve kept them because these ones I know will fit me once I’ve lost some more weight and I want some wear out of them.
It was an eye opener, but it’s hardened my drive
