NSVs and other stories

OK, I was right. There hasn't been a noticeable weight loss in the last week. The scale needle 'may' be a shade closer to the next mark down... but I doubt it somehow as it could just be dodgy eyesight first thing in the morning. Still, not a problem as I knew last week was a devil. There have been some positives though.

The big one, from my point of view, is that I'm looking for an outfit for a summer wedding. I tried on a dress from a well known store (OK, it's called East) and I know the sizes are pretty stingy from having tried things on there in the past. If they say it's a size 12, you'd better be darned sure a 12 is what you are... a 12.1 = no no! So, I was pretty surprised when I tried on a size 12... and it was too big. Thought the size 10 would be too small... but it wasn't!

The other nice thing is people I don't see regularly noticing a definite difference from the last time they saw me (before Christmas). A small thing maybe, but it does one's self-esteem quite a lot of good!

And the other stories...
I see the GP this week about the menopause. Not before time as I am plagued by the Beach Boys again. Not enjoying that at all. But... being positive again... I'm off to the gym tonight as there's a hiatus until my Chi Kung classes start again. Really looking forward to seeing how I get on.

Hope everyone has a great week and holiday weekend, and that the lure of the Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies doesn't de-rail us all.

Oh, the chocolate eggs! Although actually it's chocolate rabbits that are my particular downfall...

Well done on getting into that size 10! :o) I bough a gorgeous indigo sweater from East in Brighton a few years ago (back in the day when I was a size 12/14 - it was an XL!!!) and I can't wait for when I can get back into a TopShop Tall Range size 16 (which is REALLY a size 14....)

Congratulations on the smaller dress size for the wedding. I love non-scale-victories like that!!
