Everest

Completed.
Today I tried on my Next Denim Skirt with the American Flag print that never quite fit properly without an insanely uncomfortable muffin top.
Today it fits.
I'm a happy bunny :)

Cross!!!

I'm so mad at myself. I seem to have fallen off the wagon somewhere this week and tonight I told myself 'fuck it' and had a KFC!!!! URGH! Not only did I feel sick afterwards, I want to kick myself as it's weigh day tomorrow! Urgh I can honestly say the KFC tasted mega at the time, but now I feel like shit.
"Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels"- might get it tattooed on my forehead so I don't forget. I won't be disheartened though, still gonna go to group and get weighed. Day full of Green Tea I feel!!! haha

Naughty Weekend....

So Thursday and Friday have been a dieting disaster!!!! What with meals with new work colleagues, bonfire BBQs and epic amounts of alcohol digested in the space of 24hours it was all a bit too much! Not only do I feel rather sick this morning, but I'm pining to get back into the healthy swing of things- which can only be a good sign surely!!!

BBQ blowout was a once in a blue moon thing however- if you can't treat yourself every once in a while I don't see the point in losing weight because the more you deny yourself something, the more you crave it. The important thing right now is how ready I am to go downstairs and have a fruit salad breakfast rather than white bread toast covered in butter!

This weekend (well, two days, it's the weekend right now technically lol) has been my worst, food and drink wise; only to be rivaled I assume by Sammi's birthday weekend on the 27th November, which I will be fully prepared for hehe. Now, off for some fruit salad and green tea so the scales have a smile on their face on Wednesday :)

Almost there!

Only 2.5lbs to go now until my 1.5 stone mark!! Yay!!! Things are really looking up! Considering what a bad weekend I had :) Shame it can't be celebrated in group really as I'm always late because of work. Never mind though, I get to hear other people's stories and their *struggle* so it's all good.

Out for dinner like, 3 times over the next week though so no treat tonight! Just 3pepper pesto pasta extravaganza!!! haha (I plan to submit the awesome recipe), might even give you a little pic! hehe

Before I go to bed...

Before I go to bed, young ones, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the horrific mess that was the Maura Kelly blog on Marie Claire. As a girl who is trying to combat weight issues, and has been all her life. I'm disappointed. Ignorance and even worse, insults are not the best way to get America's obese population to shape up! It's awful that such a usually prestigious magazine can promote such clear bitchiness about some (well, considering the obesity rates in America, let's go for MOST) of it's target audience.

It's sickening that people do not have the freedom to kiss, make love etc to whom they want to without being judged! We love who we love, and we love them 'just the way they are'. I don't tend to care what the hell people think of me most of the time, but placing the idea in someone's mind that the whole world would be repulsed should I choose to show my affection, just because I'm overweight is something that can plague a girl no matter how confident she may be.

After researching your background, it's clear as to why you're so against the 'fatties' that fill your TV screen and walk past you on the street, you poor woman. However, illness is illness, eating disorders are an illness and you of all people should know that they are not easily overcome, insulting people, especially people who are trying to combat their weight issues is just plain mean.

It is not wrong to be 'fat' and in love, I say if you're happy, then keep it that way because in this day and age happiness is hard to come by.

If I never lost another pound but was able to achieve my ambitions and move to America, fall in love or whatever I would die happy knowing that I was created this way and lived life to the full, with a full stomach ;).

Basically, PIPE DOWN.
