Re t...Oh, I'm so SO glad to see you back here!<br /><br />Re the clothes: I have to echo what S says... I think one of the best things I did for myself this past summer was, as much as this killed me, to buy a couple of nice things that fit well at the size I was at, however appalling I found the size on the tag and the idea of being that size for any amount of time to amortize the wear of said thing. I know this sounds like self help mumbo jumbo, but I feel like psychologically it wasn't doing me any favors to catch sight of myself in the mirror in not-quite-right clothes. (I know almost no clothes seem right when you don't feel like you're at the right size, but...) It just made everything so much harder. And the nice clothes are now too big...but have passed them on to a friend, who is enjoying them. (I would have eBayed, but one of my dresses was going to get her out of the bind of having to buy a new one.)<br /><br />bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968904662154966681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-66726164684842580462017-03-09T08:36:58.780-08:002017-03-09T08:36:58.780-08:00Yay!

I only really appreciate now how much of a bloody star you are to combine 5:2 with something else - the only way I get through the starve days at the moment is to bribe myself with whatever random foodstuff I happen to crave. It's great that your blood sugar is stable, though I wish that you were seeing some pay off on the scales too.<br /><br />The clothes - ugh, I do the putting off buying thing too and I'm convinced that wandering round in the same old bought-from-eBay-not-quite-right stuff just perpetuates a negative mindset which then makes it harder to stick to a given plan. Maybe we should both give ourselves a break.<br /><br />SxSerenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902775858327076421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-17592109341127557632017-03-09T00:11:30.635-08:002017-03-09T00:11:30.635-08:00Hi Hazel

Ever?) is that although there is lots that I can say, I suspect that the words I would use would not make your situation any easier - and also what business is it of mine to poke my nose into your life? I won't fib, I could shake you sometimes, but I do admire your tenacity too, and I am always rooting for you.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-82575853990790020242017-03-08T13:54:57.360-08:002017-03-08T13:54:57.360-08:00Hello

I'm going to Amazon to see what I can find out now...Peridothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16325992771558910173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-12218167153843864962017-03-08T13:28:00.665-08:002017-03-08T13:28:00.665-08:00I definitely think that wearing a t-shirt and shor...I definitely think that wearing a t-shirt and shorts in Jordan is absolutely fine. It's definitely a more modest country, and when we were there we saw lots of that sort of thing. And if it makes you feel comfortable getting in either or both seas, which are both once-in-a-lifetime experiences, then for goodness sake wear them! Jordan is a wonderful country, with lovely warm people and delicious food (very little alcohol to speak of, but then maybe that's not the worst thing). I have heard much the same about Iran, but as an American totally understand why you would pull out of that trip. <br /><br />On another note I've read your blog for years now and not sure I've ever commented, but I'm so glad your back. I appreciate your humor and fierce tenacity. I struggle myself with my weight, and my self image. I had success (42 pounds) with a program here in the States that is different than the plans you've been on, and if you're interested I can send you a link to the book (it's called State of Slim--you can google it) but I don't want to come across as some weirdo who is trying to sell you something in your comments section. I'm not, I promise! It's very low carb, low sugar and high protein, and there's a lot of it that's more about your mindset than your midsection, but it really helped me. <br /><br />I hope you have a great holiday and enjoy all the great stuff that Jordan has to offer. We went in May of 2013 and really fell in love with the country and its people. Lana Bumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334161158311600061noreply@blogger.com
