New challenge new knickers

Dear reader,

I hope you all had a lovely break and enjoyed the bank holidays if you are here in the UK.

I have been walking around looking like a bit of a scarecrow in old clothes, worn jeans, bobbly jumpers, some of my knickers have four holes in them!

I was wearing the same clothes to work as I was to go walking as they were all scruffy. My boots have holes in the sole and my bras are so old and worn the metal underwired bits were stabbing me in the side. 

I HAD to go clothes shopping. Nothing major but a few nice bits in the sales. 

I saw some heavily discounted underwear in Marks and picked out a couple of bras to try on. The nice lady came in with her tape measure when I squeezed into the first one. 

Imagine my shock, I was two sizes bigger. It was the same with the jeans I tried on and the tops were just as unforgiving. It seems, dear reader that Frugal in Bucks has not been quite so frugal with food!

Not so much a muffin top as a whole bloody cake. It was not good.

I bought the new bras in the correct size and got a couple of tops. I then went home and had a serious and honest talk to myself.  I used to be slim but my weight goes up and down depending on happiness. It usually looks something like this:

Terrible relationship=nice and slim.

Happy relationship=bit of a porker

I had noticed myself starting to make jokes about my weight (before anyone else could) telling people how fat I was (before they could say it) and being the funny girl in the office. Oh ha ha ha, she may be a bit chubby but she is funny. Yeah that's me. 

So that is my new life changing challenge, sorry it's not that exciting but it is to me. I have been slim before, I know it will be difficult and sometimes I won't feel like dieting. (You can call it healthy eating if you like but to me its dieting!) 

So I have rejoined a slimming club that I have had success with before but this time I have joined online as I can't guarantee getting to the class.

You may have noticed a new progress bar. Hopefully they will all start moving soon. 

I will be weighing myself once a week and hope to lose three stones that's 42 of these!

Wish me luck. You spurred me on with my stopping smoking and I hope blogging about this will give me the same motivation.

PS. Two tips for round the shops. Marks and Spencer still have a lot of bras with mega savings. I got several for £4.50 reduced from £20. Also, if you eat tinned tuna, Lidl are doing John West packs of 4 for £2.99.

Have a good week.
