the power of compliments
today I got my contact lenses sorted and spent 20 mins looking for new glasses before giving up and concluding there are NONE I like at the moment. So I now feel less guilty about going for the somewhat more expensive contact lenses. what have contact lenses got to do with dieting - well not a lot directly but I am finding that the improved feel good factor I'm getting from the "looking good" comments I'm getting is somewhat addictive and there's definately more of them floating around when I'm wearing lenses (probably the "you look different can't put my finger on it must be weight" mental process so many people seem to have).
Still having birthday celebration concerns - that have slipped into Xmas period concerns too as I've worked out the likelihood of hitting target weight before then is slim (if I continue to loose at the current rate it may be possible by 22/12/09 but I'm guessing that's not the most probable outcome). Thanks to H for the constructive advice - I'm definately of the store up the extra points by exercising persuasion too. (45 intensive mins in the gym=2pints). My real fear however is of the hangovers. they are pretty bad at the best of times but the lack of fat really does seem to be wrecking my stomaches alcohol tollerance. I can't see any way round this one since one sniff of alchohol seems to do it. I suspect some googling may be in order to find things other than mint tea and antacid with amazing stomach settling powers....
