Slamming the car door shut quickly, calling my other half to sort out the kids. I opened my front door quickly and made a beeline for the bedroom clutching my new purchases very tightly. Running into the bedroom, it took me seconds to get undressed and put on the new clothes. Ok, the leggings were a little tight but the top fitted lovely, and I smile shot over my face. Darting to the bathroom to get a quick check in the mirror. Yes the top looked fine, better than fine it looked really nice. I did a little dance in my head of triumph. I had finally made it.. To the size 16's. Ok not yet in case of bottom half, still would need a size 18 but the potential was there to get to that size.
Its been over 2 and half years since i last was a size 16, before dylan was born. And having a newborn you kind of ignore the need for dieting, puting the babies needs first and not caring if you looked like something out of the adams family. Grabbing quick and easy snacks to get you through the long days of baby rearing longing and waiting for your partner to get home so he can help out a little. No chance or want of exercising. And slowly the pounds gain....
I was 12st 10, when i found out I was expecting sadie... nearly five years ago. Admittedly, not slim jan, but I was confident, size 14, and could get into clothes mostly anywhere.. But after dylan and reaching the scales at 17st 3, I felt low, ugly, the fattest person in the village even, and worse a size 22. And my favorite shops, newlook, river island, Dorothy perkings, was not going to see my cash any time soon, and I was forced to accept clothes off my mum in law who shopped at J D Williams for me.
I changed a lot.
You see even through I was a size 14, I loved fashion. I had a separate room, which 5 wardrobes filled with the latest styles. Now I have one chest of draws stuffed with sweat pants, and baggy tees. So getting to that size 16 was a great milestone for me.
Since starting Slimming world in january I have very slowly lost 1 stone 6lbs. I need one more pound and hopefully next week, Ill get my stone in half.
Tomorrow Im meeting with one of my closest friends for dinner and drinks, dont worry im going to be very sensible. Something I havent done in over 3 years even. The only makeup I have is foundation so will need to pop into superdrug and boots and stock up on some new makeup tomorrow morning. Im really excited. I feel like a little bit of me is coming back. Even through I know I have a long way to go. I know slowly and surely Ill get there. I will be 10 stone and determined to get there before I reach 30. Cheerio xx
