A bit weird I admit

 

So years ago, when I was dieting, and so sure that eventually I'd lose weight there were a few things on my 'when I get thin' list. One was walking up Bennachie without the palaver - nailed, (albeit I was planning on wearing size 12 jeans - not nailed).

Another was to wear my wedding ring again - cheated! After giving up on diets a couple of years ago and accepting my body beautiful (never happened) I had my ring sized. Fits me now. 

To get my diamond ring out of Mark's top drawer - another cheat. Mark bought me a ring that I was to be given when I was down to a size 12 about a decade ago. It was for inspiration/bribery/ something has to work, and was all my idea but alas it didn't work and a diamond ring was no match to being fat. I would sometimes sneak it out to wear it, and after 10 years of it sitting in a drawer I just kept it on my finger and it didn't go back in lol. 

I wanted to be able to fit into Mark's trousers. Now I admit this one is weird and I can't really explain why I wanted this other than I thought it was romantic?? I think I'd watched too many chick movies with the girl popping on the guys pants and it seemed a thing? And in my head I believe men are bigger than women, or at least should be. (Even I think this sounds sexist but I am just being honest). Anyway, weird or not, I have actually managed to get his work pants on and zipped up (see above) which made me smile (he's described as very slim). And actually I thought they'd look completely ludicrous as he's much taller than me, but they don't look too daft after all! However, I don't plan on wearing them anywhere soon.

Change of topic - can you remember the size 12 bikini I bought from Tesco? I saw it in a magazine, how exciting and then yesterday I saw it in yet another magazine! First one red (the colour I bought - as above) and then white. I've taken this to be a signal that I'm up with my fashion ha ha. I've posted screen shots below (I read all my magazines online nowadays).

I hope you're all having a good week. And love to my aunt who has received a devastating diagnosis. Just know that you are loved ♥️♥️♥️
