Thank you, ladies, not sure what's going on in my brain. On day I waken up so motivated and do really well, the next day I waken up with a "What the hell's the point" attitude and stuff my face. I'm having a good day today, food is under control and I've had the dog out along the beach for an hour this morning, then bathed him when we came home, not easy to do! Hopefully I'll get him out for another hour this evening.
The dress fitting went well and I collected it on Friday, it has now gone to live at my Mum's until nearer the time, she has loads of space for it to hang without getting crushed. Of course the dress may be half the problem, I was motivated up to the fitting, now I kind of feel "well it fits me, I don't look too bad in it, job done for now" The bride also has a huge fear that all this weight will suddenly fall off me and then it won't fit! I wish... Four and a half weeks to go, I'm going to work more on my arms as they will be exposed so lots of press ups against the wall. Then there's my usual walking so I'm hoping that even if food isn't always good the exercise might counteract it. I'm hoping now (with my positive head on) to keep the food under control from now until the wedding so that I feel as good as possible on the day. It doesn't help that the bride is like a midget (5 feet tall and tiny) but she's marrying my brother (6 foot 4 inches and built like a barn door) so hopefully I will fall somewhere in the middle and not look too bad. No best man (it is an unusual wedding) so I'm it apart from the bride and groom. I have also booked a hotel room for me to stay the night with a friend (my husband will not be at the wedding, there are no children allowed so he will be on child minding duties, one of my children has special needs so not easy to find someone willing to take him on) The friend lives in Germany and I haven't seen her for 7 years so really looking forward to the whole thing now. That's plenty for now, thank you all again for your encouragement,
