Enjoying Life in the Son

I did everything WRONG.

First I forgot to weigh myself and so had no idea what was my starting weight. This would have made it quite hard to gauge any progress I would have made. My forgetfulness was probably due to the fact that generally I hate scales because they always seem to be telling me a number I don’t like. But in this case since I’m  actively making an effort to lose a few pounds I at least need to know where I am so I’ll know when I reach the target.

Then over the weekend the idea to use slim fast

In December my family and I will be visiting New York for two weeks and I’ve decided to use the upcoming visit as just the motivation I need to lose a pound or twenty. I’ve always been a big, curvy, girl and actually cannot remember ever wearing anything below a size 16. I do however take care to eat and exercise enough to make sure the fat and jiggles all land in the right places. Fortunately, I come from a culture that celebrates ‘a little meat on the bones’. If you’re very slim, people start to wonder if you’re sick. That said, I do still want to lose weight because I have this tremendous love affair with clothes and right now I’m at a size where I find myself beyond the reach of the nice ‘skinny-girl’ clothes and still not quite large enough to wear the really fashionable plus size ones. Furthermore I have that quintessential curvy girl problem of an XL top on a 3XL bottom. I decided to look into losing a few pounds
