I was a likle poorly this week. Isn't it sad when the first thought you think is 'Yay! Weight loss opportunity'. Ha ha. I'm very rarely physically ill. I don't usually catch bugs (oh my - I'm going to be ill all summer now!) I like to think that my constitution (is that the right word) is like an ox. My mental constitution is more like a penguin. In that it's not really what you expect - a bird that can't fly and has a funny walk. That's me and my head.
I've enjoyed watching the tennis though - apart from the fact I kept falling asleep in the middle of a match! Thank God it's been on though, I'd forgotten how terrible day time TV is. And no, Jeremy Kyle does not get a look it. Not even as a guilty pleasure.
I don't watch any other tennis, just Wimbledon. The players are so tall and fit and tanned and nimble. Everything I'm not. If I were to wear white like them I'd look like a marshmallow. All soft and squidgy. When I met my hubby I told him I could play tennis. One day we had a match and I couldn't hit the ball! The racket was so heavy!! (Compared to badminton). I think I must have had a false memory. At some point in my early 20s I'd played a little but in my mind I must have thought how wonderful to be as good as Andre Agassi (am I showing my age here? Ha ha). And then the thought became a real memory. I really thought I was a pretty good player. I was so wrong.
I bought a skirt. (I needed clothes to put in my wardrobe). It's very nice. Bright pink. £3 in the sale - mega bargain. Now, it's short. And I'm not under any illusions that my legs are either long or slim. Most would probably tell me I'm too fat for a short skirt, and I wouldn't disagree. But then this is me and whilst I wait (patiently.... Not) for my new slim body why should I wear black jeans and boring tops in the waiting time? I might never wear it in public but at £3 it's a great outfit for hoovering.
Don't let comparison steal your joy!
