Gorgeous wellies

Weight : 13 13½
Gain this week : 2½
Total loss : I'm losing count about 1st 5½ - Not as much as before 😢

Aren't these wellies beautiful? I'm hoping to treat myself as my reaching target goal treat. That's if they are still available when I finally get there! It's starting to take me an age to lose weight. 2 steps forward, 1 step back!

So I had a rude awakening this week. When something in my life became something else, that I didn't realise it was. I'm not going to bore you with the tiny minutiae of my life but I do feel an analogy coming on (ooh uh missus). Imagine you've got a new car. It's a shiny 1.6 and it accelerators like a dream, overtakes smoothly and you're ecstatic. Then 6 months later you find out it's only a 1.2. The car is exactly the same, it still accelerates and overtakes. But somehow it's different. You're gutted, disappointed and let down. The weird thing is no one actually told you it was a 1.6 - you just presumed. You can't complain too anyone but yourself. It is what it is, but just not a 1.6!

What else has happened this week? (Something - I've gained not lost weight). It was my boss's leaving do. There were a lot of tears (all mine! Lol). All I'm saying about it is that my first glass of prosecco was at 12noon. And my eating the next day was very carb heavy - incl. chips and pasta! Say no more!! Wink, wink!

AND!! It's that bloody time of the month again. Sorry but I'm not apologising for the pun! I've been fed up and bloated. I've been miserable and lethargic. I've been depressed and down. It was exactly the same in Feb. I need to accept that every week in 4 it's just shit. That I'll crave chocolate and probably eat too much. Who invented comfort eating? They need to be shot.

I know it sounds like I'm making excuses, and you'd be absolutely right, I sure am. All I can think of are obstacles that I face the coming weeks. Don't feel sorry for me - these are all really nice things and each week you'll be hearing about them. Starting tomorrow then Sunday then 3 days mid week. Dieting nightmares but Gilly having a nice time! Have a great week too and tune in next Friday for my update. Thank you for  listening!!

Menstruation jokes aren't funny! Period!
