How can this be?

This being the season, my two blue rugby shirts have come out of hiding. One is my official Scotland shirt, and one is just the same shade of blue.They're jolly cosy, and helpfully can be worn under official clothing in church. Always useful when it's a cold February day, and you know you are going to be in church for a while for a funeral.

But... they are somewhat looser than when last I wore them. Considerably so. As are all my jeans. I have had to bring my belts out of hiding. I've had a few weeks of wearing them for one pair of jeans which have always been loose, but not for the pair I've not worn for about five years. Until last week.

I thought the scales were broken, and telling me fibs about the figures I've not seen for some years now, but it would seem not! I knew I'd lost a little weight, but it really does seem I've lost as much as the scales are telling me.

It would also seem that only eating when I'm hungry, and not bothering much if I'm not, apart from the evening meal which it's rude not to eat if someone else has cooked, is working. Either that, or this current very strange phase of my life is more stressful than I've realised, and I'm reacting by not eating much.
