Whenever I try to wear revealing clothes I end up paranoid and spend the whole night trying to cover myself up. It will be nice when I do t have to worry about a muffin top escaping over my jeans, or a bra bulge appearing under my armpit or round my back. I'm off out tonight with some friends who have not seen me since end of September, so it will be nice to see if they notice anything, but also I'm half expecting the whole "you don't need to loose weight" thing as one of the group that's going tonight is a big fella and he always tells me he doesn't want me to waste away to nothing and he likes his women curvy. I don't think I need to worry about loosing too many curves as I think I'll always have a bum & thighs, although I am worried about my boobs shrinking as I think they are looking smaller. Maybe my next big spend will be on implants, lol. Also, another one of the group always notices when I've put a few pounds on and will poke me in the stomach and tell me I look pregnant. I know he doesn't mean it with malice but it certainly upsets me, despite me not letting him know that, so again we shall see what happens tonight. I'm driving so I've got an excuse not to drink at least, so I can sneakily stay on my plan without arousing any suspicion. I notice that no matter how hard I try, unless I've done a work out and earnt myself some calories then my allowance is always right even when sticking to the official S&S packs. Shame they aren't all the same amount of calories as yesterday I was about to have a spaghetti pack then saw the label. Those will be left until I'm nearing refeed, as I don't want to bump my calories and carbs up too much incase I have the same issue as the other week. I'm trialling taking some herbal tablets from Holland & Barrett alongside the plan to see if they help speed things up any. I've logged them so know they aren't adding any calories at least, so if this week I have a good loss then I know they are helping. I did use them before when I was biking to work in the summer and dropped about 8lbs over a few weeks, but back then I was still eating rubbish on a daily basis so naturally it didn't take long before that 8lbs was back on again. Here's hoping they work this time and because I'm on a restricted diet that it stays off. Will keep you posted. My jeans are too big again. I'm happy and yet slightly irritated that everything is getting too big but I can't go buy anything new yet as that also probably won't fit soon. I've had to put a new hole in my belt which came as a nice surprise, as when I put it on I fastened it up and thought "hmmm, it's still loose, I'll tighten it, then realised I'm on the last hole anyway, which I haven't been able to reach for ages even when sucking everything in. And today I did it comfortably without even thinking about it as I wasn't looking down and just did it automatically by feel. Guess that means my jeans are going back to work and having some more off the waist band this week.
