I was getting ready to go on holiday. I have all my holiday clothes packed in a suitcase in the loft. I also have a suitcase or two under the bed, stuffed with clothes that don't fit me. Everything was dragged out and I gave Mark a wee fashion show. Just delighted to fit into dresses that I've had for years that were too small. Some still had tags on that I've never worn! My habit of buying clothing (especially if it's a bargain in the sales) that 'I'll diet into'. I mean half of them I've had so long they're not even fashionable now. But my God I'll still wear them this holiday! I was so happy, but kind of more than that too. I had such a feeling of contentment. A warmth all through me. Hard to describe. I found a pair of jeans that I bought from BHS (remember them?). Still with tags and now fit me a treat. Wore them to work yesterday. Ooh yeah ooh yeah.
Lots of people have started to mention my weight loss. Even the beautician who waxed my bikini line last night! Lol. I only see her a few times a year. When I first had surgery I was worried I wouldn't get to my target weight and I'd be desolate. I mean I don't have a concrete target but I kind of know where I'd like to be. But now, and I hope I have more loss to come, but even if I didn't lose another pound I'd still be happy with where I am. It's good! In less than 3 months I've lost almost 50lbs! Wow. Bring it on. I still have smaller clothes to get into please.
It's not all good though. I'm starting to feel like a half full bag of potatoes. I'm noticing the slack skin and it looks a bit weird. Not much can be done (apart from cosmetic surgery - but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it). It's not enough to put me off further weight loss. It is what it is.
Do you like my Prince Albert Christmas decoration? Whenever we are away, wherever in the world, I try to always buy a decoration. It makes hanging up the Christmas tree such a joy. So many memories are triggered with each one. We've been to a lot of places and I think it's just smashing. And Albert is my most recent purchase. Bring on December (just kidding - I'm not finished with summer yet).
Doing nothing is very hard to do... you never know when you're finished.
