I just saw pictures of me, taken during the holiday season. My god. I look like a body double for Kim Kardashian. No, that's too nice. Make it 7 months pregnant Kim Kardashian after a Pizza Hut's all you can eat- binge.
The Man (ever the gentleman) pointed out that I might want to lose some weight "for the photos". 10 kilos, to be precise. When I pointed out that "through the thick and thin" were sort of the key points of the commitment he's just made he just laughed and pointed that so were "for richer and for poorer". Touché.
I glanced at his rather well-developed waistline stating that in that case he could afford to lose at least twice that. That shut him up...
Even The Pool Boy commented on my appearance in a way I'm not sure is altogether flattering. "When I first saw you", he started, "you were just a baby". (This was 5 years and about 10 kilos ago) "Now you're a Woman." (Standing next to him I feel like a giant) Crikey. Time has come to admit that perhaps I could afford to be a little less of a woman...
Remember the wedding dress vol.3? Well, I tried it on. And as long as I don't zip it up, wear it in public or even imagine breathing in it I guess it's fine. The shoes on the other are every bit as fab as I remembered- the sight of them was enough to reduce my brother to tears (of happiness, I can only hope...). But unless I intend to marry at the naked beach wearing nothing but those shoes (and endure the sight of The Man's mum, naked...) I'd better get cracking.
I'm the biggest I've ever been. I'm not comfortable in my skin anymore. Damn- I'm fairly sure my skin isn't too comfortable either, trying to contain the ever-expanding me...
Now, I have nothing against diets as such. But they are so bloody all-consuming. What to eat, how much to eat, what to eat it with, when to eat... But after the Spanish overindulgences I really can't afford any more mañana- mentality.
So... I've got a stone to lose (and another one for my finger to gain). New, portion size- controlled, wheat and sugar-free life starts now.
