Not sure if this counts as an NSV, but when out in town with the kids today, we went for lunch in the cafe in the park... and I managed to resist the scrummy looking cakes both in there & in M&S on the way home! 🙂 Instead I had an egg sarnie (which as it happens was dry & yuck, ho hum!) with plain salad (which was actually the nicest part of the meal hehe!). And I've managed not to eat any crisps (my major weakness!!) for a week or so too! 🙂
I am slowly but surely trying (& to some extent succeeding!) to change my munching habits! Now things are looking a bit more stable on the pump I can start exercising again - no excuse! 😛

i decided to clear my wardrobe out the other day, an ended up having to bag up a good portion of my clothes as they were to big, i always did tend to buy clothes that were to big anyway as i always thought i was bigger than i actuly was, most of my clothes are between a size 20 & 22 but these are to big on me now and look awful. i bought a lovely catsuit from my catalouge last week in a size 16 thinking by the time of the wedding in 4 weeks time i will be able to get into it but i tried it on an couldnt belive it fitted me, have to admit it is all elastacated but even so i couldnt have got into something like that 6mths ago.
Oh those famous words - I hear my hubbie cry. But this time we really mean it don't we - not a thing to wear.
It is difficult when losing weight - I have just bought a new dress for a hen night that is absolutely gorgeous and a size 18!! The only thing is I can't help but think I will probably only wear it once as the next time it will come out is xmas probabaly and I am hoping it won't fit then.
If anyone has any handy tips on how to cope with this issue whilst losing weight please post.

For something special like that, would it not be possible to get a dressmaker to adjust it?
I have the opposite problem - I went down to a 28" waist when diagnosed and most of my clothes hung off me, but now those same clothes are on the tight side
Looking forward to the day when I report that they fit just fine! Thankfully I'm not a follower of fashion 🙂Northerner, with the target you have recently set, I am sure they will fit soon enough.
Regarding the dressmaker - are they not expensive.
To be honest the dress only cost ?40, but it is absolutely gorgeous - i have no idea how much it would cost to have it refitted, but if not that much it may be worth it - otherwise I will just have to buy it in the next size down for christmas!!

I can't imagine it would be that much work, but even if it were to cost you ?20, that would be cheaper than a new version 🙂 I think a lot of the old dressmaking skills have been lost nowadays - my Mum and sister both used to make their own clothes from time to time. I think that it is still more common among Asian ladies, so if you have any Asian friends they might know someone who could help at a reasonable price. Not that I really know that much about adjusting dresses to fit, you understand...!
p.s. I think it's great that you're already thinking it won't fit by Christmas!
I have just brought forward my new trouser purchasing session.
I decided that the trousers that I'd been continuing to wear were starting to act as wind-breaks whilst cycling (the excess material in the leg was flapping around too much!!).
So, I've bought myself a new pair of trousers with an unnecessarily large number of pockets. They also had a waist size of 36" Which, when you compare that with the last pair of trousers I bought at 42" (and which were still 'cutting me in half') I'm quite pleased with that.
Onwards and upwards!

Based on my un-called for comment on Steffies post a little while ago, I refuse to be drawn on that subject!
