Tried to think of a clever and witty title for this thread but have resorted to the truth.
12 months ago I was a size 8-10 (depending on where the clothes were from).
However, I have been troughing like a pig for the last God knows how long and doing no exercise, and now it's really really caught up with me. None of my jeans or trousers actually fit me any more, they're all really tight round the waist and bulgy on the tummy. Easily a size 12.
Clearly, something must be done.
Questions:
- I'm going to stay with foodie family on Sunday, for a full week. Would your attitude to healthy eating be 'carpe diem' or 'sod it for another week'?
- Would you (for the sake of appearances and disguising unsightly overhang) suck it up and buy some bigger clothes for now, or persevere with the ill-fitting ones as a reminder of how much I need to lose weight?
- If I'm to buy something else to wear, what should it be?
- The only advantage of the increased overall size of me is an impressive set of knockers. Tell me that they're not worth the risk of type 2 diabetes.
DISCLAIMER: I am fully aware that size 12 is not fat by any stretch of the imagination, and I don't claim that I even look fat - I just know that the weight I've put on is the result of too many late night trips to the corner shop and that this isn't healthy. I also don't want to write off all my clothes, especially those Joules trousers that I've hardly worn.
