losing weight takes so long 😫 I expect I have to do at least another 6 months of this meal replacement diet

You'll get there! It's boring at times but worth it for how you feel about yourself.πŸ«‚

I've gone down one clothing size in 3 months, which is not bad, just got so much to go still

so in a way it's already good, I'm getting new clothes and have a wider choice now

at the same time I'm not so young anymore but fuckin' hell, I just can't believe what other women my age wear, those giant abstract shirts or lurid prints.

They do????? Nothing wrong with being so far behind the trend as to be ahead of the game.

-"those giant abstract shirts or lurid prints"

I don't mind figural or loud but these are always just blotches

Well done on your progress so far! Do you mind if I ask how many meals per day you’re replacing, and is it with shakes? I need to shed a more than a few kgs and am struggling to get motivated

I'm just doing the dinner. My breakfast and lunch is already pretty minimal. I've reduced snacks and replacing bad foods with better foods.
