Chunky Dunker To Skinny Dipper

I was dreading it. One how was I meant to know what I wanted when I don't wear dresses. No idea whether a line, empire or princess would be better and I knew I'd have to strip off. Nightmare! She said she was judged enough at a 10-12 and was told what she could and couldn't wear so when she opened the shop she knew she wanted to specialise in plus size just so brides could have a better experience. If I didn't already have someone to marry I think I would've married her lol xx

Steal away she's just so nice, every shop should have a Louise. In fact every shop should have a no judgement policy xx

Hows plan going, and did you go dress shopping local?? she sounds lovely I hate clothes shopping but love clothes cant wait to fit in normal sizes from boring ranges like george and flo and fred and tu rather than the odd 3 tops in a plus size range for double the price grrrrrrrrrrr .. lol
 
I was going to try the place in Bridgend but heard some very bad stuff about brides and bridesmaids being told to lose weight and not having a very nice time there so I went to the one in Barry and it was fab. I hate clothes shopping and I never try things on in the shop but no choice with wedding dresses lol It would make it easier if everywhere had the same sizing cos I find Matalan is different to Evans and they're both different to Flo and Fred but I usually shop online cos I can't be arsed with shopping it bores me. I sometimes think I should've been a man lol

I'm eating better than I was a few months ago but I can't get my head into being 100% so I'm glad I'm maintaining but need to start losing. What made you get so focused again? x
 
The thought of that 7 stone creeping back on slowly but surely scares the life out of me plus I've had a year out from booking a foreign holiday so I can lose 5 stone so I don't have to an extension belt again and I hate the thought of going next year and being in same position but most of all I missed slimming world food and knowing there's only me stopping myself losing this weight.. nath asked me to go swimming n I just can't !

Morning all. Not a bad weekend until I had a huge mahoosive blow out last night. Had a two day bicker fest with the mr and when he went to bed early last night I ordered takeaway. Scoffed the lot and some chocolate concoction that was in the fridge all because I needed a treat. Urgh I hate being an emotional eater and I hate not having the willpower to see my treat for the self sabotage it really is before it's too late. Sulking today like a child :(

Hi scarlet,

I too am an emotional eater, and have days when something has really upset me and all I want to do is eat!! All I can say is draw a line under it and keep going girl! You CAN do it, I'm rooting for you xxx
 
Aww Jemima I'm okay today food wise. Had an on plan breakfast and trying to stop feeling guilty for eating so much fried chicken last night and chocolate. I have so many food issues it's crazy. Have my food for today all planned out and shopping being delivered later so hopefully no more urges and if the mr behaves no more arguments. Men eh? x
 
Sounds good, enjoy your day... Don't feel guilty we are only human and unlike smokers or drinkers we can't just give up food! If Mr starts just walk away to another room, don't let ANYTHING stop you getting to be where you want to be....x
 
Hi Scarlet, dropping by to see how ya doing..hope you've had a good week! x
 
Hi jemima I'm good thanks how are you doing?

Quick update on the exercise I've only gone and ordered a multigym. It was a total bargain at less than half the original price and I like feeling strong so I know I'll use it. Just need to get my food demons in check and stick to some kind of plan before I lose all hope and start gaining again xx

Hi Scarlet, WOW a multigym!! you'll be dropping loads of weight once you get going on that, sounds like a real bargain too..lucky you!! I bet once you start using it and losing more it will really help with your food plan cos you'll be so chuffed at the weight coming off. I'm fine, but having really small losses at the mo. which is a bit annoying, but hey every little helps!! Good luck with the Gym looking forward to seeing how you get on xxx
 
Losses are losses but I get impatient too I just want it all gone by the weekend haha sun is shining again here and I've been on plan yesterday and so far today. It's looking good. Have a great day jemima x

Enjoy the sun, onwards and downwards! x
 
Waiting for the multigym to come (4 week wait due it being so popular in the sale) and I'm sat watching the shopping channels. What do I go and order? A vibrapower disc which looks like it's going to be non threatening to start me off. Now do I really need to ask my gp if I'm ok to start exercising like they always say or is that a load of tosh?

I think they say that to cover themselves, I have never asked before using equipment but I guess it couldn't hurt? Good luck with it when it arrives, you'll be losing those pounds in no time! x
 
Been ages between updates again I know ladies but wanted to let you all know I'm starting a new diary because I've made the official swap to weight watchers. I've ummed and ahh'd about it for too long now and I've bitten the bullet and made the change over because I feel that it's the better plan for me. I started Monday and have been 100% on plan all week so far even exercising now my vibration plate has arrived so once I set up my new diary I will post the link and hope you pop by x
