ISOM - if I posted pictures of my stomach people would be running screaming from this thread
- only kidding - but yes - it is having a wrinkly week. I really need the last stone to go before I make any judgements about how bad the damage really is - but I remain optimistic as my bum has stopped looking like it's escaping down my thighs so maybe my tummy will perk up too
.
Mrs. L - I am just under 5ft 6. And yes, that is THE DvF dress.
As for the reactions from people around me - they go from incredibly supportive and encouraging to embarrassingly effusive (usually non-British colleagues). My close friends are cool about it - but ones who haven't seen me for some months react quite weirdly from almost saying nothing to exploding with WOW!s. To be honest it's a bit weird because I'm away from my family and people who have known me for more than a few years here in London so I haven't experienced a lot of the major reactions yet and my parents last saw me when I was a size 16 and about 13 and a half stone.
Slinky - I can't wait for The Fat Duck...(can you imagine asking Heston Blumenthal to make me a foodpack?) actually someone in my group ate at Gordon Ramsay a couple of weeks ago and there were two people in the party who had foodpacks (I hope he wasn't in the kitchen - can you imagine the swearing?)
I can't believe how quickly 6 months has gone...and how little there is left of my marathon journey to go. Thank you all so much for the hugely positive reaction!
. And to say the same as the others - you're a complete inspiration. I've been reading about your journey and you're now bookmarked!
