It fits! It fits!

I was sorting through some clothes and had automatically put aside a sweatshirt which I thought was still too small for me - or to be more accurate that I was still too big for it. I have a pile of things which currently fit and I have given away to charity all those things which are now too big - because I am determined that I will not get to the size again where I need them.

Then I was soooooo cold and realised I had no warm jumper because all the warm things were big things and I had given them away. I looked at the sweatshirt and wondered how tight it would be and if I'd be able to cope - I tried it on and was pleasantly surprised to find that it fits! It now doesn't seem impossible that the other smaller things will not be long before they too fit me. That's given me a bit of a boost.

Comfort Eating is Uncomfortable!

I was doing really well last month and on target to have reached 17 stone by the 1st March - so what went wrong?

Comfort eating is what. Why is it that food seems to be such a comfort and so soothing when you are feeling bitterly miserable? Then of course you get weighed and find you've gained weight and end up even more miserable! Not much comfort in that.

A difficult fortnight at the end of February beginning of March has been a set back to my diet but I think I'm getting back on track now and hopefully can now aim for the 17 stone target for the end of March. One hitch does not have to mean the whole thing is a disaster. I shall rise above this and ultimately triumph.
