Today I got into a pair of size 18 trousers from a 22!


However when I went to look at bridesmaid dress I didn't fit into a 20 the biggest size they had

I have decided to stay on ss while on holiday so that I will definetly fit into the dress.

Well, for the first time in weeks I've had absolutely nothing other than what I'm supposed to have all day! Fifteen minutes away from the 8pm meal.

Bad, bad week. I have been craving chocolate every night and have had varying degrees of snack biscuits to satisfy it. Monday I had an evening meal with my son, curry followed by a sliver of apple pie and a small spoon of ice cream. Not too bad, but then had EIGHT biscuits (Rocky, Penguin, Harvest, cereal bar) in a vain effort to keep me awake. I felt so ill with the effort of not falling into unconciousness but the eating didn't help.

Tuesday I went out for a pre-arranged meal with...
