This time last year I was in Phuket, Thailand and my suitcase was left behind in Sydney for the entirety of our 8 day holiday.

I was 23 kgs heavier, only had the clothes I was wearing and couldn’t find anything in my size to wear.

I was devastated, sad, angry, uncomfortable and moody most of that trip.

I am currently in Bali and we’re here for a quick six day holiday (with suitcase and clothing) 😉.

Having recently lost 20+ kgs and having changed my lifestyle by including exercise and changing eating habits I am feeling pretty good.

We were souvenir shopping for the grandkids yesterday and I saw two items of clothing that I liked so I bought them; being smaller means that I can now pick something up and buy it without worrying about sizes etc.

In this picture I am wearing one of the cute jumpsuits I bought and I asked Eli to take a photo of me in it because this picture will serve as a great reminder of where I was (physically and mentally) and where I am (physically and mentally) today.

It also serves as a reminder to how nothing lasts forever, the good and the bad come and go and whilst we may get stuck in the bad times once we open our minds and let go we give ourselves permission and the opportunity to move forward.
