Hi Chaps,
See below for script of a conversation I had with my lovely (truly) husband last night:
Me: (cuddling up to him on sofa). Do you think I look better now that it used to?
Him: (very clever) Is that a trick question?
Me: No really, do I look better now?
Him: Yep
Me: (I never did learn) Do I look much, much better now?
Him: Yep (hasn't taken his eyes of the TV).
Me: (gagging for those positive strokes!) Do you think I'm gorgeous now? (not that I needed him to tell me as I already know )
Him: You could do with toning it up a bit now.
Now I know that the old bingo wings need a bit of work but apart from that ....................!!!!!
As I was fortunate enough not to have been too big before LL and as I had always done a lot of exercise and continued to do so throughout the diet, in my view (and as we all know, we are our own worst critics) I don't actually look that untoned - when dressed I look positively perfect (modesty was never a strong point!).
Naked, my bum looks a tadge 'deflated' and my tum reflects the fact that I have had children, but apart from that I look bloody good.
Bloody man!!! I gave him the finest opportunity to congratulate me and tell me how good I look and he chose not to take it!
Ah well - I did get winked at in M&S today (twice) and yesterday some chap offered to hold my hand on the escalator in John Lewis (I think he had mental health problems though!) - these little shreads of appreciation will just have to do. That and the joy of shopping or sizes 10 and 12!
