I am drawn to tea addicts :)<br /><br />I really don't get the coffee thing that seems to be sweeping the nation with the arrival of Starbucks and co. Is it really a coffee if you have a mound of whipped cream on top, and chocolate sprinkled on the cream? <br /><br />I actually like to walk and swim. I used to be quite sporty in my youth. I'd be mad to let my big body stop me doing activities I enjoy. I'll probably sneak out early in the morning or late at night to swim - when no one is around. I'd be lying to say I don't mind flaunting my body. I do...so going swimming will be an ordeal in terms of stripping off, (I can imagine people staring now) but I am doing it for me. Right now I am more conscious of my ugly legs than anything else. I have been treated for phlebitis so one leg is very red and ugly looking, swollen and painful. However I think hitting fifty did me good. I may be the fattest I have ever been but I really don't care much these days about what strangers think of me. I'd be super-confident if I were thin, (eeek, perish the thought!) but apart from the rolls of fat, I actually feel comfortable in my own skin lately.<br /><br />I am just about to blog about how I'll be out in the garden this afternoon. That's the plan :)Fat Grumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563154952353175490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-47071209063262115582010-04-23T11:18:03.192+01:002010-04-23T11:18:03.192+01:00Heh heh Jo...I think the same way when I read a po...Heh heh Jo...I think the same way when I read a post from America. You wear 'pants'. If we went out in our pants here we'd either get some funny looks or be arrested for indecent exposure. (Well in my case it WOULD be indecent exposure. I wouldn't inflict the sight of my body in underwear on passers by.)<br /><br />Yes, yesterday I had a really good day. It all started with movement and perhaps that is the key for me....becoming active first thing to get those feel-good endorphins going? I have my egg still - over half of it left and no desire to eat it right now. I am wondering if I could be REALLY strict with myself and throw it out? Right now my philosophy is 'a little of what you fancy' with the emphasis on 'little'. If I went cold turkey and had no food treats at all I suspect I would have a blow-out binge - 'because I am worth it.' LOL<br /><br />I think I need a shrink's advice (ha ha - a shrink, if only they could 'shrink' me) rather than a dietician's :)Fat Grumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563154952353175490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-81081182798398483362010-04-23T09:29:25.679+01:002010-04-23T09:29:25.679+01:00Yippee for a fabulous day!

See, sure you can do it - and, planned or not, you've just proved it to yourself.<br /><br />Good on you for the new cozzie and chiffony thing - and especially for not letting this weight business stop you swimming (or anything else you enjoy). I wish I'd had your strength of character - I wimped out of buying one until very recently and still feel VERY self conscious. My saggy bits are not great favourites :-(<br /><br />Hmmm, another tea addict huh? I'm beginning to think you may be a long-lost sister!Denizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633002838343992787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-69272179850109450612010-04-22T22:41:28.970+01:002010-04-22T22:41:28.970+01:00I meant YOUR blog.I meant YOUR blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-17805041608230236102010-04-22T22:41:04.716+01:002010-04-22T22:41:04.716+01:00Grumpy: I love the name of our blog, have I told ...Grumpy: I love the name of our blog, have I told you that? I also love the language you use, i.e., "Swimming Costume" and "Trousers". Our language here in the states seems bland sometimes.<br /><br />Who cares if you planned it or good fortune fell on you--either way you win, right?<br /><br />Keep it all out in front of you....and I would deep-six that egg. Nothing good can come of that. :) JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
