It’s really hard when I can see other people’s blogs but I can’t comment on them! I lurk, invisible, reading Seren’s and Leslie’s blogs but although I can leave an anonymous comment on Seren’s, Leslie’s will have none of me. But Venice! Wedding dresses! Consternation at a blue Leslie...
I don’t know why exactly, but it makes me feel disengaged from this whole bloggy world – as if I don’t really exist…. Weird….
Anyway, I’m awfully substantial for someone who is invisible! Although I have finally – FINALLY – dropped into the next stone bracket. Now I have my sights fixed on getting my third stone gone – that’s only 3lbs away. And then it will be the half stone in my current stone bracket and then…. And then… Must not get ahead of myself.
Especially since I have a foodie time coming up. I’m choosing to see it as a challenge to not relax my discipline around those moments, but not to fret and be unable to enjoy them. We’re going to a friend of P’s for dinner tomorrow – she’s a good cook but luckily is unlikely to be doing ridiculous portions. Breakfast the next day might be trickier – it’s usually croissants or cereal. I don’t drink milk so cereal is out…. I definitely do worse when I can’t plan in advance. I tend to panic and make a decision which I later decide was the wrong one and then self-flagellate indefinitely.
Next Tuesday I’m meeting my old boss for a drink. I’ll probably be a bit nervous as she’s very polished. Lovely, but I always feel like a mess next to her. She’d be appalled...
Next Friday we’re meeting my step-son and his new girlfriend (who, by the looks of things, is not the sort of woman who has female friends – if you know what I mean). I’ve already seen a lot more of her than I’d ideally like (courtesy of Instagram) – and I’ve not met her yet. And then Saturday it’s our wedding anniversary and we’re going for a posh dinner.
But one thing at a time. Focus on making as good choices as possible this weekend. Sometimes I let the enormity of all the ‘problems’ turn me into panicky jelly. So focus on one step at a time and remember these are not ‘problems’, but should be looked forward to, calmly and dispassionately.
This is a terribly boring post – sorry!

That’s brilliant news re the next stone bracket. Well done. And you’re so right about focusing on the good choices you can make in between all the foodie stuff. That’s definitely what I need to do. Here’s to a good week!
Sx
I thought you must have technical issue and I've missed your comments!! I've not changed any setting or anything so hope it sorts itself out soon.
Well done on the new stone bracket....I peeked back into the 15s yesteraday and it made me feel great!!
Am no longer blue. Must have been a super-extended pre MT combined with as it disappeared as quickly as it arrived. Speak soon hon, by email if not through bloggy chat. Lxx
