Few random mutterings

I'm feeling really good at the moment. My head is really back in it, and I'm feeling great about myself. The other week I had the best compliment ever. Some of our mates came round for a poker night, and one of the lads bought his girlfriend who I'd never met. At one point in the evening I moved the big bowl of crisps away from me and said it wasn't good for WW. She looked at me with a slightly shocked face and said "You don't need to go to weight watchers!". I could have hugged her! I showed her a pic of me and said, that's why I need to go to WW. I don't want to be that again. She said she didn't recognise me in the old pic. It felt fab.

I also saw a mate last weekend for the first time since May. I was upset in May that she didn't notice that I had lost weight (I think just under 2 stone at that point). Her jaw dropped when she saw me last week. She kept touching me saying, "Oh my god, where have you gone!!"

Today has been a good day. We went to the Trafford Centre as I need a new top for next weekend when Mum and Dad are coming to celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Sizes are mad though, I went in one shop and saw a nice top. I tried it on and got a 16 and an 18 to be on the safe side(still think of myself as bigger than I am). Both were too big and I had to send Magnus for a 14 which fitted perfectly! I then skipped along to Next feeling good about myself, saw a top, tried it on and needed an 18!! Sizes are stupid.

I ended up muying the 18 top from Next as it was lovely, and no one sees the label do they? I wearing it with slim fitted jeans and sparkley silver heels. Here is the top and shoes, let me know what you think...

I LOVE shopping for clothes now. I used to hate it, and often would be on the verge of tears. Now I feel fab, and when I tried on the whole outfit to show Magnus he said "WOW, you look gorgeous and sexy!!" I felt it too, and I haven't felt like that since I was about 20.
