First world problem, I know, but.....
Going on holiday on sat with DH and ds (7 weeks). Am 3 stone overweight and have a plan, I think (see below!), to tackle that as soon as I'm back from hols and want to have made good progress by my birthday in Nov. Part of me wants to go and buy some lovely holiday clothes in a size 16 so that even if I will look like a beached whale I will feel nice and feel that I look ok. I actually do feel quite happy with the way I look when I make an effort. My wardrobe is currently full of horrid mat clothes. The other part of me doesn't want to go and blow money on 'big' clothes (I realise size 16 is not at all big for everyone but I'm only 5ft 2 and the size 16s are becoming very tight!).
I've realised this shopping/clothes dilemma actually reflects a bigger conflict in my attitude towards my weight - part of me wants to defiantly stay a size 16, embracing and loving the skin I'm in, waving the banner for the 'size doesn't matter if you're healthy' brigade etc (I'm jogging 2/3 times a week and trying to make healthy food choices), and the other half of me damn well wants to be a slim, sexy size 12!
Fire your opinions at me please!!
