I have lost a pound .... whooop whooop ... its been a long 5 weeks and I am sick of all the ups and downs ... want to stay on the downs now and continue to lose. I have been very good this week and really tried not to eat in the evening, which I know is what has made the difference.
I have mentioned before that I want to get a tattoo ... and I have decided that every pound I lose I will put £1 aside and save up to have one done once I get to my target. I am pretty sure that I will have something with lace ... being a lacemaker it is special to me and lets face it, its just super-duper-pretty ... I spied this one a few months ago ... white lace ... and I love it!

Happy dieting if you are on one and happy munching if you are not!

Ok, enough is enough ... I am sick of being this size ... sick of no diet working and ready for a change of look ... ready for a new me ... a makeover!

This isn't about me not liking myself as a person or my life ... I am very blessed with lovely family and friends, a job I like, hobbies I love and a doggy I adore ... its about me carrying a few extra pounds and wanting to feel happy in the clothes I am in ... to not go into a changing room and coming out feeling depressed ... about my life being better than it has for years and wanting a new look to go with it ... I fancy a new hair style and to try some clothes that I have never been confident enough to wear before.

I am going to join Slimming World again ... I went this Spring and lost just over a stone but since Easter it all seemed to fall apart and I had a break from it over the summer. Although I love the group I went to, it was at 7pm in the evening, which is a horrid time to be weighed ... you end up not eating properly all day and I don't think weighing in the evening gives you a 'true' weight. So I have decided to join a group that is in the morning ... I have extra shifts at work for the next month so I may hold on till after then, and join ... not quite sure yet ... see how I feel next week ... may join then!

I am also going to change my hair ... not sure how yet ... I have very long hair ... hair down to my bum and I want to keep it long, but think I need a bit of a change ... its been long for most of my life.


I also have a fringe, which I am going to grow out and then decide what to do ... so my hair will be like a blank canvas for what ever style I go for! I will be blogging some hair styles I like soon and hope you let me know the ones you like too ;)

Over the last few years I have been thinking I would love a tattoo ... I would like to design my own ... I think I want lace on my ankle so I have decided to get one done when I reach my target weight :D I will show you some designs and ideas sometime too.


I am hoping that letting you know how my diet is going will help me stay on the straight and narrow ... wish me luck!

I've been chatting a lot to my friends fella on msn about tattoos ... he has lots (as does my friend) ... I don't ... not 'cos I have anything against them ... I don't in fact I think they can be amazing ... more because I am a scardy-cat! but in chatting to him about designs I have decided what I would have ... I would want to design it myself as I would want it to be totally unique. I also really love the look of henna tattoos ... so would want it done in just brown ... and I want it on my ankle (he says that doesn't hurt as much as some where like your bum ... this surprised me as I thought it would be worse!)There would have to be a flower somewhere in it and leaves and curly lines!


Isn't this amazing ... I wouldn't have anything as big as this, but I do think it is beautiful!
