Iola's Idiocy

Well having done the mission I went back to fat club on Tuesday and weighed in at 9st 5.5. so have lost in total 23lb. going to go to once a month now and hopefully will be the same next month as this month. today I went to M&S to get some clothes that fit. They didn't have any suits that I fancied but I did find some jeans for £15.

Then I thought I'd try on some of their not suit trousers since the cheapo work trousers I'd picked up the other day in the shop with no changing room "but we do give cash back" are too big in a "you are probably now a size 11" kind of way. And indeed when it comes to M&S I am certainly smaller than a 12.

I did in fact purchase a pair of size 10 trousers today. which is very surprising since I've never been a size 10 in the hip before. When I was 12 I went from age 12 to size 12 overnight. I have always had this idea in my head that size 10 wasn't really very "womanly" and I wouldn't want to be one because it would mean i had no bum. I definitely have one - M&S changing room mirrors ensure you know all your curves (and sags etc!). I suspect that it may be an M&S thing though - the 2 jumpers i got were the right shoulder width at size 10 and normally that's just completely wrong. I don't think I need to question my femininity quite yet.

Well weighed myself this morning and exactly the same weight as last Tuesday! Go me - and go that handy 24 hour not happy tummy bug that emptied the contents on the night of the 27th and made eating not something I wanted to do much of yesterday which probably balanced the excesses that the walking and the cold didn't catch. Have now cancelled the WW subscription and feel I can go it alone.... bought some size 12 clothes today too...

So today was Weigh day 14 and I am now at GOAL... in a very loud chavvy football fan running round the room kind of GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL way. I passed it even - go me! despite the portents of doom of mincepies and buiscuits at today's all day meeting.
I may be disproportionately excited. I am now going to eat Pizza. And my posting will become sporadic - since I'm now "eating sensibly" rather than "dieting"...

Today the heating at work was broken so I think I probably burned my celebrations off by shivering (gave in and did put my gloves and scarf back on at one point. It's not like its warm there at the best of times!) but I'd best be sensible and point them anyway. Am turning the last of the veg in the house into soup - have done a pretty good job of running the fridge down for once. I forget these sensible pre-going away for 5 days activities so often in my pre-holiday denial periods.

Have suffered no ill consequences from yesterdays dietary adventure other than the shock of looking up the points in bombay mix, I'd thought I'd been overly harsh in my empty the points bank approach till then...

WHEN am I going to learn - I now only have little tummy and it gets full easily? And just because there is yummy stuff on the table there really isn't space for it to fit in? And if the yummy stuff is bread what's going to happen in about an hour later I'll get that mid-backache that says "eaten too much carb?"

Been out to play today with some friends for a birthday - bit of walking in the snow then back to her place for some food and (for those not driving, ie not me) wine. So lime tortillas and bombay mix are available - fair normal breakfast +lunch combo but 6 point session in the gym+1.5 hrs walking in the park = pretty hungry. Then there's soup and bread - squash and pumpkin tasty goodness + bread. So I'm pretty full. An hour or so later we have some main course - keep to the veggie option and my mate is good and gives me a small amount. but the bread is still sat out. And apparently I'm low on self will today - more bits were consumed and now I'm Mrs uncomfortable. I'm a very silly girl and I bring it all on myself. I shall consider the points bank now empty again (was 10 up based on this weekend's gym attendance) and hopefully Tuesday will be a stayed the same weigh day.

I purchased the WW scales this week at the class - because they had a discount, I'd got money back from something I wasn't expecting and it struck me that I need to make a significant committment to myself to continue to maintain the effort I've put in for the last few months. (and buying new scales when the old ones aren't broken feels like that to me). I'm well chuffed I did. not only do the scales measure in single grams - so I can have my 75g of flour or whatever (instead of the 74 or 76 the old 2 sets I've had let me do) but they have all the common pulses programmed in - thus overcoming my problem with dried weight not being in points on the web or booklets. I'm reet looking forward to the end of this strange "most food is making me queezy" bug I've still got so I will be exploiting that setting with gay abandon in the near future...

I thought the extremely rich lasagne I had at my friends Wednesday was the cause of yesterday's acheiness (not having eaten anything that rich for weeks) then first thing this morning my stomach was clearly not in a good way. Lunch really didn't want to be eaten - had the sarnies and felt "full" so gave up 1/2 way through the salad. mid afternoon I start to feel sicky and achey. So maybe I malign the cream based sauce and I'm just fighting some kind of winter lurgy. To be honest not a lot was eaten yesterday either, however evening e

Gah I don't think illness to help diet was on the order sheet for this week!
