I stood on the scales this morning and can reveal to the watching world that I've lost in total over the last 4 weeks 6kg (13.2 lbs, just short of a stone). I'm really chuffed with that - I'm going to try and maintain this weight for a bit and then lose the last little lot in time for summer hopefully. As well as the health benefits (lower heart rate and BP etc) I'm also starting to feel again like I like my body - I've not felt that for quite a while to be honest. I still have my curves (especially now my waist seems to be reappearing) but just less of the flab. I no longer look like Waynetta Slob in my nurse's uniform, and in fact when I get round to sewing back the button on my uniform trousers that pinged off (twice!) because I was too big for them I'll be able to sew it back in its original place as opposed to the compromise position I had to sew it in after the first time it pinged off. There are a couple of pairs of jeans which I think will still need a few more pounds losing before I'm comfortable in them, but on the whole my clothes are fitting better - and looking better too, to be honest.
A confession though: having planned to have the Easter egg for breakfast tomorrow, I have had a change of plan. If I eat it this evening when I get in from w*rk, then it won't count on next week's weightwatchers charts. Whereas if I eat it tomorrow and include it, the negative points balance will make me feel guilty all week. And guilt is something which has a disproportionate chance of making me eat more. So it's a good and highly beneficial thing really that I have an Easter egg tonight. Oh yes.
