A couple of mornings ago, I rolled out of bed on a Monday morning knowing that, for once, I had laundered all my work clothes at the same time, and my black trousers, which dry quicker than most of my clothes, were ready on a hanger. After taking the trousers off the hanger and putting them on, I found that they were very loose around the waist. I won't say I looked like those pictures you get in slimming magazines of people inside one leg of their 'hilarious' fat trousers, but there was definitely a lot of space. I checked the label and discovered I had bought these trousers, which I had only worn a couple of times, in my old size (I've dropped a size in the last year or so). I was just wondering how come I hadn't noticed this before, when I noticed that also the waistband fastenings were different. I was in fact not wearing my newish, correct-ish sized trousers, but my pre-weightloss black trousers, which Spike now refers to as my 'Great Big Clown's Trousers'. This meant that my current work wardrobe ('bottoms' department) consisted of: two skirts (damp), one pair of grey trousers (clean, dry but very creased and in need of an iron) and one pair of black trousers (crumpled in a ball on my bedroom floor, speckled with cat hair). Grrrr! So much for the organised wardrobe.
So what else have I been doing with myself? Well, we recently updated the computer (hence my reappearance), we've moved house (again), I've moved jobs (again) and we're moving churches (sigh). I'll update you more on these at a later (not much later hopefully) date, but I just wanted to make a start. I've just read my first post on this blog, and notice how I planned to write about things like the psychological dimension of weight loss and the meaning of post-evangelicalism, and what have I written about tonight??!!
Oh, if you're wondering what I wore to work on Monday (which you're probably not), the GBCTs, with the huge waistband tucked with a large safety pin. I'm such a classy chick ...
