Due date

Sunday was the due date for the pregnancy that we lost in February.  If you’d have asked me back then if I would have marked the day I would have said no, and in truth, I wish that the date wasn’t ingrained in my mind so that I could just forget it, but as it’s…

3rd and 4th week’s weigh-in – and a giant act of self-sabotage

Two weeks ago I weighed in at Slimming World and was very dismayed to hear I’d only lost half a pound.  How could this be?  I had been “good” (well pretty good for me) all week and I’d only lost half a blinking pound????  This was a HUGE injustice in my eyes! So, what did…
