Take my weight - please!

You know all those cute things we do to remind ourselves just how much we've lost? Like stacking up packs of butter or cartons of milk?
Well, my thing is to pick up bags of potatoes at the supermarket and feel how much 10kg really is.
Now I'm going to take things a step further. When I've lost 20kg, I'm going to give 20kg of potatoes to the City Mission or Women's Refuge. And I'll repeat that at each 10kg milestone.
I'm thinking of it as 'giving my weight away'. And I certainly don't want it back!
By the way, I lost 700g this week. I'm pleased with that, even though it's the smallest loss I've had so far. It proves I can recover from a couple of bad days, like the ones I had at the start of this week.

Congrats on your loss this week. What a good idea to give your weight away. Very visual. I am hoping to hit the 10k mark when I weigh on Monday so if you don't mind can I borrow your idea and 'give away' 10kgs of something to a mission? What a great gesture, and a great idea. Thanks Sue.
Have a wonderful day :)

That's a wonderful idea. Helping others and certainly helping you to realise just how much weight 10kgs is. Congrats on this week's great loss too!
