These are the new shoes I am considering (the £14/15 ones I mention). Also, congrats to everybody who participated in The Great Scottish Run this morning! I’m sure I’ll be joining y’all at some point in the future (a year or two, I hope!) once I’m a lot fitter.

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. [...]
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 Defies The Norm… Sorta
Above is what I wore to my job interview this morning. On the left is the outfit sans my fabulous purple “leather” jacket; on the right, with it. The jumper is amazingly pink, yes, I’m aware of this. My BFF and her mom bought it for me for Christmas, and it’s the first time I’ve [...]
In Which Fatso Makes A Comparison
I’ve talked a little bit about the things that I’ve found myself able to do now that I’ve been A) losing a little weight and B) taking in regular exercise. These things include, but are not limited to: Standing up to do the dishes without having to sit down; standing up to cook; going for [...]
In Which Fatso Babbles
During my massive spending spree at eBay (it wasn’t really massive. I had to sell a lot of stuff, including my busted laptop and my Nikon D40, in order to buy new stuff.) I bought a new pair of trainers. I paid for my new trainers on February 28th, and they still have not arrived. [...]
In Which Fatso Takes A Day Off
Yesterday was interesting. Thursdays are days, now, where I go swimming with Mum at night. Last night, I decided, that I would get the second part of my gym induction over and done with, because that would be official introduction to the weight training, and if I ever WANT to use the weights – they’re [...]
The shape or size of things to come?
I can’t even remember where I was looking that I managed to find this, but I did find it, and I found it interesting: In the UK women’s clothing size is traditionally indicated by numbers. In 1982 the British Standards Institute produced a standard set of sizes from 8 to 32 quoted in centimetres. (For [...]
The Fatgirl's New Clothes
Evans have a sale on! It’s not the best sale in the world, and for once, it’s mostly size 20-24 stuff, where normally the sales are size 28-32 things. But I’m not complaining – last week, I spent the gift certificate my Mum got for me in exchange for a shirt that didn’t fit me, [...]
