Flashing.

Thanks for all of your well wishes on Monday. I had a fairly lazy afternoon and actually managed to get Matt to wait on me - a rarity I can assure you! I'm feeling fine, back to work yesterday and just a few cramps to contend with, so all is good.

What is not so good, is my Christmas and New Year weight gain of 6.5 pounds. To be honest, I expected more. I felt completely bloated before WI last night and I've not exactly been tracking for the last 4 or 5 weeks. This does take me back up to 1.5 stone heavier than my lowest ever weight (in recent times anyway) and I am not overly impressed with that statistic.

As if to bring home my lardiness to me, I suffered a fairly unfortunate incident yesterday when getting into my car to go home from work. I try to wear light weight clothes on a Tuesday (one can't be getting weighed in a Jean) and I have a pair of ASOS Curve baby cord trousers which I really like, but they are incredibly thin - almost flimsy if you like. I've noticed my fat thighs had caused a bit of wear between the legs, so I have been trying not to wear them overly. Anyway, imagine my horror when I got into the car yesterday to hear a ripping sound - the whole back of the trouser had given way - from my knee to my rather large bottom. I am just fairly thankful it happened on my way home. Imagine if I'd not noticed and spent the day at work exposing myself.


I did however have to collect after work, so I had to try and fashion my cardigan in such a manner that it protected my modesty. I think the fashion world is missing my talents. 

Anyway, my enthusiasm for WW has now returned. I have pointed today, I have my iPhone back so I have downloaded the new app which will be very useful. I am hopeful of a good week and fairly convinced I can shed some of this extra poundage before long. I even managed to go to the pub last night (once I had changed my trousers of course) and stick to Lime and Soda. Wonders will never cease. Still not sure what exercise I can do for the next few weeks, but I am going to try and walk a bit more. Every little helps.

    Well done on the enthusiasm! I'm feeling a bit resentful and grumpy about the whole thing which definitely doesn't help.

    Oh no - I've had that happen to me with the trousers before .... except it happened mid-morning and I didn't have a cardigan, so I had to edge around with my back to cabinets all morning til I get buy some new trousers on my lunchbreak!

    I think most people seemed to have gained around the same amount over Xmas, so I wouldn't worry - you're certainly not alone! I gained 4lbs over Xmas, but that doesn't take account of the December's steady creep up ... 7lbs all told! I'm loving the iPhone app though - so handy to be able to look up and calculate on the move, even if updating the tracker no the move takes a month of Sundays! :o)Glad you're on the mend - you'll be back out on the Hill of Doom in no time! xx

    I thought I was the only person in the world to get the whole 'fabric rubbing between the leg' thing. All my jeans are slightly faded because of my sizeable thighs. I too am just getting back on track with the whole WW thing, I wish you lots of luck for the coming week.

    PS love the blog :D

    I agree. Every little bit helps and to make you feel better :) I should probably be starting a regime of self-control but i am pretty bad at that stuff so maybe i shall begin bit by bit, like reaching for water instead of soft drinks because every little bit helps!

    Sorry to hear about the pants. I hate chub rub, they take away my favourite bottoms away.
