Thanks Abz and Mandy - it was an amazing trip. Loved it all, Tallinn in Estonia was the real favourite though. So pretty and unspoilt. Lovely.
So, diet, I hear you ask. Well, I have not really made any sort of start at all. I don't know why, I know I should get straight back down to it but I am in this weird place where I just don't feel that bothered. I've lost the 3lb gain, I don't know why/how but I have and I think I am just going to try 'cutting down' when i really feel like it. I know for a 'plan' to succeed I have to feel really commited and I just don't.
I've looked at the pics from the holiday and instead of thinking ' oh god, i look like the back of a bus' I've kind of thought ' hmm, could be worse, actually look ok there!'
So, whats going on? I don't know, I just feel quite happy and am in no mood to start obsessing about food, which is essentially what full on dieting means to me.
So, I will keep coming on here, because I love it, I will report in about gains or losses and just see how it goes. If that sounds a bit lame then I'm sorry but I just feel the need to enjoy what I have now instead of constantly making everything about my weight. It's not about my weight, thats just one aspect of me.
I feel that I should be frantcially dieting in readiness for our Aruba hol in september, but you know I'm ok, if I am thinner by then, great, if not? So What!
Love

Your 50th is a great in incentive to lose the weight you need to 
.Just make sure you dont deprive yourself too much by giving yourself treats now and again.If you have a bad day just pick yourself up, and tell yourself its only one day and tommorow is a new one!

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your support.
I am enjoying feeling like this; don't know how long it will last as have experienced this 'calm acceptance' feeling before. I'm not saying I suddenly don't want to lose weight - I think I will always want to be lighter, I just have stopped having a go at myself about it all the time. It's not like it's made any real difference.
I've been on Mini's for nearly 3 years now and my weight? About the same as when I started! Despite many 'diets', 'plans' etc. At least i'm not bigger though! Could be worse.
Anyway, I am happy to support and encourage everyone who is feeling really 'up for it' and in the meantime I'll just plod along and see what happens.
