A mission from the chief fairy

  I thought I would write this down because, in my brain, writing something down (where others can see it) means.. commitment!  What am I committing to, I hear you ask.  I'm glad you asked..

  From previous blogs its been apparent that on occasions I have serious TV/TS moments, and on other occasions.. I don't.  In those moments this usually results in me erasing some part of all the TV/TS related stuff I took a while to build up, be it contacts, clothes... whatever.  So.. in a kill or cure (or something like that) situation here is the mission.

  I'm a yo-yo.  Which doesn't mean I bounce up and down on a string, or anything else for that matter, but diet-wise I've been as low as 15 stone and a wee bit (last year) and as high as almost 21 stone, almost 5 years ago now.  Currently I'm between the two, and the mission is to get below the lower of those 2 figures by October.  Why October?  For those of you aware of TV friendly events this is (for me at least) the "Holy Grail" - Rose's weekend in Scarborough, a chance for me to be Amie for 3 days or so, something I have never done (properly) and want to try to see what happens.  I might get bored.. I might lose my nerve.. or (heaven knows) I might actually enjoy it.  I have talked (to myself) about doing it before, I have even paid my deposit and still not gone, so why should this year be any different?  Because I've written it down!  Pay attention!

  My theory is being 14 stone-ish would make me round about a size 14.  I have NEVER been a size 14, all I know about size 14 clothes is - there are lots of them.  And they are pretty.  I want to BE pretty, even if just for a weekend!  I know there are clothes in size 18 (which is where I am now) but to me.. they don't look like they should.  On me anyway, on other people is another story.

  So now I have a plan.  I won't eat crap food on the premise that I can "burn it off" when clearly I can't, hence the weight gain.  A pack of Tesco choc chip cookies contains 1600 calories.  That's just about a whole day's allowable calorie intake for me, and to burn that off would take 2 hours on the cross trainer, or about 4 hours of pretty vigorous sex.  That's a lot to ask, especially being single... So the short ansswer is - don't buy them!   Put another way - 3 weeks of no cookies could buy this instead:-

  

   

  (I do mean just the dress, the girl inside is extra.  But this is a size 14).  Given the choice between this and the cookie, I'm thinking this is preferable.

  So.. here goes.  Watch this space (not literally..)
