So I've been parading around like a peacock this week. Look at me - I've lost 2 stone. Aren't I skinny and gorgeous? Then I catch my reflection in a mirror, and I swiftly tuck my tail back in. All I see is a chubby lass with 3 stone to lose. Now this is not a woe is me! I've lost 2 stone and that's great and I'm very happy with it. But I must not lose sight of my goal! I feel healthier, I look better and I'm happier...but I still have a way to go.
It's a bit weird how I'm actually quite shy (stop laughing) and on one hand want to hide away under a paper bag, and on the other I post pictures of myself half naked! I assure you the pics are not me boasting but more an acceptance of how things really are. I don't like my wobbly bits but they are real. I guess if you don't like it it up to you to look away and not me for hiding. Does this make sense? I walk around the house naked all the time - my 18 year old son doesn't even bat an eyelid. And why should he? The naked body should not be hidden as if ashamed but shown in all its glory! I sound so confident but strip me naked on a beach and I'll run for the hills lol.
The other day I was wearing my sliders aka stupid footwear that look like slippers (But I love mine lol) and they are - slippers and sliders! I slipped and slid and fell on my arse! And if that wasn't bad enough I also pee'd my pants a little. The shock or the physical bump? Dunno but how awful is that?? I don't think anyone noticed or minded...but just another Gillyism. They are growing. An icon in my own life time (in my head!)
So no weight today. Away on my holidays - sunny Jamaica! Yah mon! It is supposed to ease the blow of turning 50! Who knows if it'll work but it's hot and sunny and I'll be drinking cocktails all day (this is my Jamaican diet) so I'm not worrying, I'm being happy.
When I get naked in the bathroom the shower gets turned on!
