MidsElodie, I still have very few pics of myself with DS so I need to work harder on that. As a rule DP takes bad pictures but my duster takes good chin-minimising ones so I should press her into service more often!
Good to see you back Legaaaaah. There are still 9 weeks till Christmas so plenty of time to make a dent in the weight.
I am feeling a bit 'funny' today. I am starting my new project tomorrow do will be going from mat leave/redundant to full time work (with commute). As it is only a short project and has been at quite short notice it doesn't feel like I am really going back but I am and there is a fair chance that it will be extended to a longer phase, making it for several months at least. The reality of only really seeing DS at weekends is just starting to hit (I am welling up as I type this!). I feel really apprehensive about how I will cope with that, and how we will cope as a family. I have to work though as pre-redundancy I was the main earner and we definitely can't manage on one salary (London).
Aside from my worries about running the house, meals, DS etc I am worried about managing to stick to the diet. It is hard not to nibble when at home all day but I know that good is one of the ways I manage stress, as well as the fact that it is harder to manage healthy eating when v pressed for time to shop and cook. Feel it could all go horribly wrong.
But yesterday was a good day. I met a friend for lunch who I hadn't seen since february. Her immediate response was to scream ' how much bloody weight have you lost!' Which made me 
. She is the first person to have noticed but she says I look a lot different around the face, shoulders etc -less 'round'. That felt good. I also did a bit if clothes shopping. Didn't buy a lot but felt so much less lumpy in the things I tried on, even if they were only one size smaller than before. I bought a blouse which is a tiny bit tight at the mo (does up but the buttons gods a bit) as I am confident if will fit and the next size up would be too big in due course. So here's hoping the diet isn't ruined by work!
Well, back to my churned-up feelings about tomorrow. Will make the most of cuddling my gorgeous DS but must not squeeze too hard!
(Apols got the long post, hope I am not being a bore...)
