YOU BET

 Guess what I am doing today?

Yeah.

You get no prizes for guessing I will be sewing.

All day.

So I suggest you bugger off and read something else, cos I'm gunna be busy.

All day.

If you feel like leaving a comment, tell me what you are doing today.

Are you going to do something exciting?  Productive?  Fun at least? Or just boring same old same oh?

ABOVE:  Back for a moment.

I've not talked about weight loss in a while.

Because, there has been none in months.

I'm MAINTAINING what I've lost.

This is good.

My focus for the next few months will be to continue to do just that.  Maintain.

I clearly don't do well over winter!

I'm a comfort (read:  Fuck I'm cold!)... comfort eater.

So more warm, yummy food is creeping in.

BUT, I'm not gaining or losing weight, which is awesome.

My clothes all fit me exactly the same.

So all is good.

In a few months I will jump back on the wagon and work hard to drop a few more kgs.  I AM NOT GIVING UP!

But at the end of the day it's not a race, it's a way of living that is sustainable, and keeps ME happy.

ME.

No one else.

I don't give a rat's arse what other people think about me, my size, bla bla bla.

For too many DECADES, it's been about what other people think about me.

Fuck that.

I'm now at an age where I don't care anymore.

My biggest critic is long gone, and his opinion no longer hurts me.

"Shit you're FAT.  Jesus you're FAT" no longer rings in my ears.

I look in my mirror and I'm perfectly  happy with what I see.

I may not be 'slim', but I'm perfectly good the way I am right now.

PHEW.  What an awesome rant that was!  I needed to get it out.

Now... I can get to me sewing.

ABOVE:  1.40 pm.  I'm making slow progress.

I've nearly finished the 2nd runner to the point of quilting it.

I am going to make all 4 to that point before doing the quilting.

I'm taking my time, taking little 'time out's' so my back doesn't give me grief.

My neighbour down the road even got a visit from me for a yak.  His dog escaped his section, and I needed to let him know what happened.

That clever dog was back in his own backyard when the neighbour got home from being out this morning!  The wind blew open a side gate, enabling him to sneak out.

A bit funny, and lucky the dog didn't stray too far.

I emailed my WW Leader this morning, and explained where I'm at at the moment.  And said I would still be attending the WW meeting, but not weighing in for a month or two.  I need to stop being so obsessed with friggn NUMBERS.

She's all good with that.  Just as well, cos I'm still paying the fee!

The WW meeting was good.  I'm slowly getting to know a few of the ladies.  No names yet, but I  recognise and chat with them.  I'm terrible at remembering names btw.

There's also a few who are utter bloody snobs, and don't give ya time of day!  Not my sort of people, and no loss to me.  I consider them RUDE when you say 'Hi' and they look at you then turn away!

RUDE.

There is no reason to be that rude eh?

Anyway, I'm home now and I'm going to snuggle down and enjoy the evening with me blankie, hot pod and Stewie to yak to.

AND CORONATION STREET.  😂😊😉
