Hooray hooray...

 ... It's a holi, holi-day!

When I last weighed myself on Monday morning I was 12st 11. Now traditionally I would put weight on on holiday at a rate of 1lb per day (absolute truth) so if I get home and it's less than half a stone I'll be okay (away from home 13 nights). In truth it should be/I really hope it's not even that much but I have no prior data so I'm just guessing and crossing my fingers. Obviously, I can't consume any more food just because I'm away but my diet is very different to that of when I'm at home. And then we have the cocktails....

I have discovered two wins this week though. First one, my bikini bottoms don't roll down under my tummy fat nearly as much as they used to. And the second (my favourite) I can now fasten my own sandals! Whoop whoop amazing. 

Google is now getting in on the act of before and after shots. Mark's phone gave him the comparison photos today (see below). Both taken at this resort - one 2016 and one 2023! So if Google can notice my weight loss it must be true lol.

I had also prepared a before and after bikini photo ready for today's blog (also see below). First one was at the end of April and the other was this morning. I'm so happy. Still got a bit to do but it's fabulous. I don't know why my size is making such a difference to my happiness - I'd need a psychologist to tell me. I do know that it's shared by lots of women (and men) all over the world and has done for a few decades. Media? Food options? Everyone getting fatter? Shame but there it is.

I can't believe the UK is having such good weather this week too. That's very rude! And a little gutted tbh. I mean it's rather be leaving rain and mist and coldness rather than glorious sunshine! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the lovely weather. It'll be miserable just in time for me to get home.

There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you.
