all this talk of weight always close to my heart. My BMI now just under 20, so still well within healthy range, but DH likes to pull out the Skeletor thing as a way of saying "stop now, that's enough." I like a body that looks good in clothes, he likes a body that looks huggable and shaggable. But that's often the thing with men and women, I guess.
Roman I am no nutritionist but I'd say that if you want to maintain weight without empty calories you should ditch the choc and pastries for chickpeas, avocado, brown rice oily fish, avocado, full fat yoghurt, nuts, lentils & quinoa. All brilliant for skin, mood & energy whilst being reasonably calorific.
Mum arrives mid-June. I can cope fine until then. I could never allow someone into my life to do the job that I've signed up for. Exhausting it may be, but a happy exhaustion, nothing like the utterly draining grief of 5 years ago. If someone could have told me then that I'd be blessed with 3 children now, I don't think I'd have believed them. So now that I've got 'em, I'm not delegating!!!!
Back on to weight & clothes for a minute. A friend of mine admired my outfit the other day, saying that I looked like a movie star (it was the big glasses I think) Anyway, I was head-to-toe Primark, ebay & Zara and told her so, to which a she replied, yes but everything looks good when you're thin.
Do you think that's true? do you think that when you're bigger you have to rely more on quality fabric and cut than when you're slimmer?
Dressed rather too optimistically this morning and have come home to get changed before taking the boys out. Wearing Theory skirt in silver/grey with a sequinned hem, navy blue tank tucked in, fitted denim jacket buttoned up and sleeves turned up to elbows, blue scarf shot through with silver, silver glads. My legs are cold!! I'm going for a bit on-trend blue-on-blue but my kneecaps are not supposed to be part of that look
