discodoris

 I decided back before Christmas to just eat with everyone else through the festive period.  I've had cakes, chocolates and lots of yummy savoury snacks.  And gratifyingly, I stood on the scales this morning and still weighed in at 11 stone 12 pounds (166 pounds).  I've got a party to go to tomorrow, so I'm not getting back on the diet bandwagon until Tuesday, when I return to work.  But generally, I'm happy at the gradual weightloss that I've managed since the start of 2011 - it's been slow but all trending in the right direction.  I'm able to wear a whole load of clothes that have been taunting me from the wardrobe for several years - pairs of jeans are coming back into commission, work suits, work trousers, blouses.  I still have quite a way to go before I'll be down to what I consider a healthy weight for myself, but 30lb loss over the year has put me back into a place where I'm much happier with my own body (I felt uncomfortable at the higher weight) and my knees are complaining less often.
