NSV: had to get my glasses adjusted because they were too big for me!

I started last year in Feb and I got my glasses in March (thankfully a week before lock down started) and recently I have noticed that if I bend down or slightly knock my glasses they just come flying off xD I wasn't sure what could be done if I needed new glasses or if they could be adjusted, I went for the cheapest option first and made an appointment to adjust them. Thankfully I didn't need new glasses, and the guy laughed when I said 'I have no idea if glasses are meant to fit like this because my face has always been fat', he went away and did some magic optician stuff and long and behold they now fit my face! The guy added 'I had to do a big adjustment' which made me so happy :D

How I lost weight? Count your calories! I'm from the UK and we have slimming world and weight watchers and I honestly think they're a load of crap, especially slimming world. How can a bowl of pasta be 'free'? As though it has no calories or impact on your weight? You can follow slimming world if you wish but COUNT THE CALORIES!! Your input should always be smaller of than your output, that's just how weight loss works :)

I picked up running last August and that helped get my insides moving even on days I don't exercise, if you're extremely unfit like me the NHS couch to 5K app is a god send, 100% recommend that to start it's really not hard and it's at your own pace. I am now trying a 10K program from my Garmin watch (which are free to use if you have Garmin device)

I've hit many plateaus, I've fallen off the wagon, cried while eating a pack of cookies, had cheat days and all that stuff in fine as long as you dust yourself off and get back on your plan. I've been fat most of my life, if I can do it you definitely can.

As a side question:

Has anyone noticed since making long term diet changes that they now like things that they previously detested? For example, I hated salad (especially peppers) now I love it and have it all the time, the taste is nothing like I remember.. it's like junk food mutates our taste buds... and makes you hate what's good for you?
