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. [...]

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 [...]
In Which Fatso Is A Winner
Two very exciting things arrived in the mail for me today. First was my confirmation that I am a student again! I have been sending things back and forth with The Open University, and starting in October, I’m going to be (in addition to whatever is happening at the time) studying a BA (Honours) English [...]
In Which Fatso Likes Real Food Too Much
I was talking about the Tony Ferguson programme a while back, if y’all will remember. I was back in Boots the other day to pick up another prescription, and they have their stuff in, an entire cabinet full of meal replacement shakes and bars and soups and the like. I picked up a leaflet while [...]
In Which Fatso Is Proud Of Her Sisters
I mentioned at the top of my entry the other day that my big sister had joined the gym and was coming to spinning class with me of a Sunday morning now. Today, my little sister joined the gym, too! She came in and had her induction up at Fairhill while I went around and [...]
In Which Fatso Ponders Interview Clothes
So, I have a job interview on Friday in Glasgow. It sounds, from the description, to be just what I used to do (minus the designing of the advertisements and the proofreading and the typesetting, but anyway, I digress) and I would be thrilled to get it, but… I have a job interview on Friday. [...]
In Which Fatso Pontificates
There are a couple of things that shaving my head have taught me: 1) Shaving my head is never a good idea unless I have really bad head lice, which I didn’t. 2) No matter how much I tell myself it sort of suits me, it never really does. 3) My ears sort of stick [...]
In Which Fatso Contemplates Detox
Now, I’ve read dozens of times, probably more, that detox is “scientifically proven to do bugger all” (I may have paraphrased that, I may not) but to be perfectly honest, I feel better after detox. Let me tell you a story of my first detox: Back in 2006, I got a job in Swords, County [...]
In Which Fatso's Sister Returns!
Today, a few things happened. Today, I went to see my doctor, and I am now officially not taking Xenical any more. He is also pleased that I have joined the gym and is further pleased that I am following/rejoining (delete as applicable; ask me again on Monday) Weight Watchers, and has prescribed me Naproxen [...]
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 [...]
