A nice thing happened.

I am not a small person. Size 16-18, bum and boobs. I gave up weighing about a year ago as I decided I didn't want to keep beating myself up about being who I am, so my main means of knowing which way my body is heading is through my clothes.

I also try very hard not to say anything negative about my body in front of SmallPerson - mum always struggled with her weight when I was growing up, she had a drawer full of diet books and did everything from Weight Watchers to the Cambridge Diet via F Plan. That insecurity passed on to me, and I'm determined it's not going any further!

Put on a pair of trousers which have been a bit tight this morning - still a bit tight but I thought not as bad and made a comment like 'oh, my Wine Belly must be shrinking'. Small hugged me and said 'Yes, when I hug you my fingers touch now!'.

Aww. I'm still waiting for the loss of the empty calories to make me Size 14 overnight by magic, but that will do for today.

  2. Hi Susie,
    I am sorry I just found your blog again!
    I used to be so mean to myself when I was heavier than I wanted to be.
    I wish I could live those days over where I was kinder.
