Dear Stomach,

by PennyForthem on 27 Dec 2013, 11:31

Ok, I'm still under my target weight - just! I'd wanted a little 'wiggle room' over Christmas, so I lost another 4lbs, but I've wiggled a lot and used most of it up.
I count myself very fortunate this year, in many ways: a supportive hubs, a lovely family, job I love and... food on the table. Truly lucky.
But I also enjoy my new lighter self and don't want to return to blubberland, so, in writing this, I'm giving myself a kick up the whatsit and a not too gentle reminder that I can't eat like I've eaten for the past 2 days and not put it back on.
It's been a hard road at times to lose it and it would be a very easy U turn; in fact, my stomach is rumbling now and I'm salivating at the thought of a roast dinner.
But no, dear stomach, you will not have your own way this time.
I have a delicious chickpea and veggie curry planned for this evening, so none of this 'feeling deprived' lark, please.

In fact, dear stomach, you and I are going to lose another half stone or so. Did you hear that above the rumblings?

I said, 'another half stone; yes 7lbs!'

Get used to it - and quick!

Lots of love,

Me xx

Start weight: 210lbs, maintaining at 140/144lbs. And loving it
