Guilt, weight loss and tea
I've been trying on some of my school outfits over the past couple of
days, in order to work put what staples are missing from my wardrobe (a
cream fitted blouse for starters) and then this morning something very disturbing
happened... I pulled out one of my secretary skirts from last year
(glorious 50's affair with loads of net underskirts) and wondered if it
would do for school. I stepped into it, pulled it up and then tried to
zip myself in.
It didn't work.
Not, may I add, because the zip was broken, but rather that a large expanse of my arse was getting in the way.
This considerable weight gain is not in any way a mystery to me. I travelled Europe
stuffing my face with pasta, wine, sausages, pain au chocolate, beer
and many many other wonderful regional delicacies. In addition to my
continental feasting, I found a boy, settled down, and was taken out for supper and
discovered several new takeaway places near my house.
It's all happy fat!
But I don't like it. I have always been a size 12 (apart from once at
uni when I hit size 14 after living on chips, beer and custard for a
year). What if my weight now starts to spiral and I have to be lifted
out of my bed by a crane.? What if I don't sort this out?
Generally help should be arriving in the shape of my new job. I have
heaps of nervous energy and on my first day at work should probably
lose half a stone through sweat tears and panic...
Still, it does hurt to try and so for breakfast this morning I have
eaten an organic banana and drunk real loose leaf breakfast tea, which
should almost certainly make up for my complete binge at
blinks later.
Oh fuck it, of course it won't... chocolate biscuit anyone?

(1.9.05 11:43) Ooh I'll have a biscuit please. Have a good time at the blinks. And I'm sure you look lovely anyway. |
|
(1.9.05 11:54) Well... its too hot to care. |
|
(1.9.05 11:54) Oh I hate it when that happens...I have put on about half a stone since moving in with my boy despite the fact that I've started running seriously. How unfair is that? |
|
(1.9.05 11:56) Totally unfair! I, however really enjoyed and thus deserve every single spare ounce I put on my ass!! |
|
(1.9.05 11:56) You don't really need to do lots of 'sorting it out' though do you. A few small changes over a long time make the biggest difference |
|
(1.9.05 11:58) Ha ha - John, so true. I just need to spend a week without eating out, and stop pouring olive oil into my cooking. Easy peasy! |
|
(1.9.05 12:08) Less pie. |
|
(1.9.05 12:09) Or how about devising the first computer workout routine, just half an hour, three times a week sort of thing? |
|
(1.9.05 12:11) Just fasten the skirt with a safety pin. No one but us will know... |
|
(1.9.05 12:11) Yes silly. Less pie, more carrots. John - what? Workout? Don't be silly. |
|
(1.9.05 12:12) shoes - or buy a new skirt?? |
|
(1.9.05 12:16) Even better! |
|
(1.9.05 12:16) You could try me new fad diet. Sillylads "eat less crap and get some exercise" diet.. |
|
(1.9.05 12:19) Hoorah! silly - I find the title confusing... what does this involve? |
|
(1.9.05 12:37) Oh yeah.. They you'll publish the book and make my money! |
|
(1.9.05 16:16) A chocolate anything sounds good to me right now. No advice on losing weight. All I can say is that it is much easier and much more fun putting it on. - Enigma |
