In Which Fatso Is A Grape

  So, I think I’ve found my outfit for Linda’s wedding. Unfortunately, it’s still going to cost me close to £60 (dress and shoes; I think I can find my black bolero in the mess of a clothes box I have in the corner of my room for the night ‘do) and that is… urgh. [...]

Weekly Weigh-In: August 31, 2010

Image by ppreacher | by NCND 2.0 CC 28st 12lbs +3lbs -9lb (4.08kg) – 259lbs (117.48kg) to go So that’s another blip on the radar. I actually stepped on the scales on Tuesday morning (I know, I know, I shouldn’t have!) and my own scales said that I was 399.9lbs, which would be a 1.2lb [...]

In Which Fatso Is Starting To Panic

Two weeks ago, my big sister turned to me in our Weight Watchers meeting and said, quietly, “it’s only 10 weeks until my wedding!” That means that it’s now only eight weeks until my big sister gets married. My predicament at the moment is twofold: I am still huge, and I have very little money. [...]

Weekly Weigh-In: August 24, 2010

I will give y’all a visual representation of how I think I must have looked when I stepped on the scale tonight: Yeah, I’m a seriously attractive individual when I really want to be, I’m aware of this fact. Now, before I even tell you what the scale said this week, let me tell you [...]

In Which Fatso Is Eating (Again)

Yes, I’m eating even as I type this, but fear not! It’s apples. Image from sxc.hu. I love apples. My favourite kind is Pink Ladies. In addition to craving junk food up the wazoo last week, I realised that I’d made a grievous error: I didn’t have any fruit to hand. None whatsoever. Which is [...]

In Which Fatso Is Having An Odd Week

Since getting weighed on Tuesday night, I’ve been having a very odd week: it seems, in celebration of not having cancer, my body has decided that it wants junk. Lots and lots of junk. I’ve tried not to give in, of course, but when I went to the cinema, it was in celebration, and I [...]

Weekly Weigh-In: August 10, 2010

28st 13lbs -8lb (3.62kg) – 260lbs (117.93kg) to go A little late, I’ll admit, but I’ve had a busy week. We, my big sister and I, decided to try out the Tuesday meeting, because it’s more convenient – at least for me, anyway – and means that Linda’s fiancé is available to give her a [...]

In Which Fatso Is Amazed

So apparently, according to The Guardian and Vogue UK, Marc Jacobs – designer brand Marc Jacobs – is set to find out whether there is any demand for a plus-size range by the top-of-the-range fashion house. I mean, you guys. This is Marc Jacobs. One of the most successful fashion designers IN THE WORLD. This [...]

In Which Fatso Is In Pain. Again.

Another week, another quiet week, blog-wise. I could make excuses, but I’m not gonna. There’s not a lot going on. My collarbone is still sore, and I’ve still got that pulled muscle in my left arm, and neither seem to be getting much better, to be perfectly honest. I don’t know what to do. My [...]

Weekly Weigh-In: August 2nd, 2010

29st -7lb (3.18kg) – 261lbs (118.39kg) to go So we’re back here again. Back at the original Silver 7™. This week, I went to see Inception at the cinema. Twice. I even ate junk both times: a wee tub of candy floss and a big bag of Maltesers, bottles of Diet Irn Bru (admittedly, the [...]
