Weigh-in #16: April 16, 2013

+3.1lb -8.5lbs since Jan 1 2013 381.1lbs I’m going to pretend my face didn’t light up that it’s weigh-in #16 on April 16 (and 16 is 42 – you know, April being the 4th month and all?). Anyway, yes. That’s how my brain works Forgot to post yesterday, because I don’t think my brain actually [...]

In Which Fatso Hates Her Body…

… but not for the reasons you’d think. Since I started losing inches while I’ve been losing weight, I’ve been in a weird kind of limbo, size-wise. I noticed that all of my size 32 jeans were falling down my ass, so I decided to try a size 30. They fit, but they’re kind of [...]

In Which Fatso Enjoys The Weather

When I was walking to The Water Palace last night for my swim, it was about 20°C (somewhere in the 60°Fs) and I was feeling almost too hot to have my pink hoodie on, even although all I had on underneath was a camisole. (I practically live in camisoles in the summer, but lately they’ve [...]

South Beach Diet Redux Two: Day Six

Right now, I’ve just finished my lunch: salad, olives, pork with mayo, egg muffins and bacon. I’m actually feeling extremely full, despite the fact it wasn’t a whole lot of food. I let myself off the wagon yesterday while I was at my parents’ place: I had 2 thin slices of cherry cake and an [...]

In Which Fatso Misses Her Enell

If there’s one thing that I really hate about losing weight, it’s going down clothes sizes and being too small for clothes that you really, really love. Right now, I have a few pieces in my wardrobe that will still fit me until I’m maybe a size 26, but they’ll just look really, really loose; [...]

In Which Fatso Needs New Clothes

I mentioned (I think) last week on Twitter, that I’m pretty annoyed right now with the market for plus-size workout gear. What I’m using right now is two pairs of cropped jogging pants from Evans, both from about five years ago, and a pair of cropped jogging pants from Yours Clothing that I bought last [...]

In Which Fatso Is Really Pleased With Herself

I mentioned yesterday that I was going to view a flat today, in hopes of moving out of my parents’ place and actually starting to become an adult. The flat I went to see was in a little place called The Furlongs here in Hamilton; it’s a lovely little area, full of trees and SQUIRRELS, [...]

In Which Fatso’s Shoes Break

I’ve been going to Spinning since March 2010. I’ve pretty much worn the same trainers (or sneakers, for you American-English readers) the entire time I’ve been going, with three exceptions, when I tried to wear a different pair of trainers that I owned at the time, and my feet hated me for days after. I [...]

In Which Fatso Sweats Again

So, after my last post, where I publicly disclosed my new pink hair, I promptly went and got my hair cut. Now, last March, I shaved all my damn hair off. I was bald. I took my Dad’s hair clippers at a #1 length, and I shaved my damn head. I’m pretty nonchalant when it [...]

In Which Fatso Celebrates A Little

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that I had a box of clothes that I’m waiting to fit into. They’re still size 32s, but because the UK clothes sizes aren’t regulated, a size 32 from one place may not be the same size as a 32 from another place. So one of the things I’ve [...]
