Well, it’s official. I’m 100% pure pork. I am officially Porky.12lbs. Hurrah for the next scale bracket down! I’m still 4lbs off my pre-Christmas weight so I guess that will be the next milestone to set my sights at. It really is scary how quickly I can put it on and how slowly I lose.
Then next goal will be getting to my LL finish weight – Porky.2lbs, then into the Chubby bracket, then, once I fall below c Chubby.8lbs, it will be brand new territory!
My future mother-in-law is having an 80th birthday party in mid May and I’d really like to be over a stone lighter – ought to be possible, oughtn’t it? It will be the first time we’ll have seen most of bf’s (frankly huge) family since the engagement and I think we’ll take a bit of stick over being hassled for invites (they rather go on about me being posh so I imagine I’ll be teased about getting married in a castle. Which, of course, I will be!). They’ll all assume they’re going to get some fabulous hospitality at our expense. Most of them will be wrong...
We don’t have any plans this weekend, which is welcome. I intend to sleep in and loaf about and read and maybe practice my music and calligraphy and make soup for the week. Phew, sounds exhausting – I probably will stop after reading.
Next weekend we are going to a birthday lunch party on Saturday and staying over until Sunday. This particular friend ALWAYS gives us croissants for breakfast – arggghh. She’s bf’s friend so I don’t feel I can have a quiet word in advance – plus, she’s feeding 6 of us for breakfast (and many more for the lunch the day before). It all sounds scarily foody though. Cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess.

Yeeahh! Congrats!
RE: Bf's friend. First of all, everyone in the world understands dieting for the bride-to-be. But even if you don't want to discuss it, can you not offer to bring along some homebaked muffins or some other breakfast type good you want to eat? Obviously bring enough for a crowd, and you don't have to say they're healthy ones...
Oink oink!! Well done!
Enjoy your quiet weekend. I'm currently on a coach heading down to Birmingham for a football game. We struggled thru the snow to the pub and had full English and 2 pints before 10am!!! Not likely to be a good diet day....

Great job, Peridot! The SoD may not be as evil as we'd thought.
Beth had some good points about the "dieting bride-to-be" - I'd try to get some mileage out of that one. And bringing something also gives you an option. Even a big bowl of fruit salad?
There's nothing worse than eating something you don't want to, in order to be polite and out of "obligation".
Well done!
That's a toughie, though. One thought - why not take some beautiful exotic fruit as a gift - I've done that before - "I went to the market and couldn't resist this for the weekend - I can make us a fruit salad for tomorrow to go with our croissants!" And then you just eat the fruit salad. Your friend will understand - take enough so there is some left for her as a gift too but let her know that you're being careful.
Alternatively - save up points?
