Boobage | But I Smile Anyway...

I am seriously shocked!

Got on the scales, (never a good thing!) to see what the damage was. I have purposely been avoiding them because I knew that the number I saw on them was never going to please.

The mummy tummy, well, that has become a good excuse for what is really not doing more exercise, and for slipping the extra biscuit or 10 into my snacking schedule!

And I am ashamed to say that we have succumbed to rather a lot of takeaways in the last couple of months since the in-laws were away.

Struggling to fit into my Indian outfits the other days was embarrassing enough, but the icing on the cake was Monday evening. My in-laws flew back on the weekend, and mum in law had unpacked her cases. In there were 5 beautiful new outfits for me!

Really gorgeous ones, ideal for the family wedding we have in a month.

Only they didn’t fit. Not one of them!

Not one of them!

It was the dreaded boobage area again!

The tailor has my old measurements there, and I had said to her to not bother getting clothes this time as I have too many anyway, but the horror on my face must have been apparent as she told me she had requested the guy to take the clothes seams IN!

Wow! Mum must see me with really slimming rose tinted glasses!

Anyway, lucky for me, as these have been taken in, that can be reversed, and they can be let out again too.

But that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I decided I need to diet, lose weight, do something, as this was ridiculous!

At the moment, I weigh more than I have ever weighed in my life, apart from when I was pregnant, and even then I wasn’t much more than I am right now! How bad is that!

I loaded my shopping trolley with fruit and veg, and salad, and dutifully informed Hubby Dearest that takeaway was not on the menu now!

Smoothies for breakfast, not as much tea, more water, salads at lunch, a balanced dinner… that is what I am doing now.

But can someone please inform my inner sweet-toothed fattie (who is more the outer me at the moment) that I cannot get cravings at 9pm, then demolish ice creams or chocolates!

My aim is 10 stone… It won’t be a fast process by any means… I need to find time, and energy, in the day to exercise too!
