Percy's getting some willpower

I need to lose weight :rolleyes: I am a classic yo yo dieter and put on and lose 20 pounds every year. I am now at the heaviest I have been since 1998. I have just noticed that my most comfy pair of work trousers have started to look very worn out where my chubby legs rub together. I was so tempted to run over to Evans and get a new larger pair straight away - a size 22 :eek: :eek: However, it has dawned on me that perhaps it would be better all round if I just lost some weight, even a few pounds would be a step in the right direction. This would have the knock on effect of reducing my debt as when I analysed my spending diary, lots of it went on food. Mr Sainsbury's recent increase in profits was probably mostly down to me.

So I am quite pleased that I have managed not to run out and buy new clothes. I have loads of clothes at home in all sizes. I will just have to wear skirts to work for a while until I can get into the trousers I have at home that are a size 18.

I am not sure why I have to comfort eat and comfort spend, even if I only suffered from one it wouldn't be so bad!

We can keep each other going!

The weight issue is one of my major ones just now.

Good Luck! Winter is the hardest time to start a diet - I find I want all the comforting hot food I can eat.... part of my money saving plan is to lose a bit of weight as well... I'm not big but can't afford to go up a dress size!! Therefore need to get back into all my old clothes.. going to kickstart it on Monday with the Cabbage Soup Diet (yes yes awful diet I know but I can lose 5lbs in a week and it's not too bad to stick to it just for a week!) Good thing is it's quite a cheap diet as well

Hope it all goes to plan... food is in my top 3 weaknesses along with Holiday's and Books!! It's hard but worth it!! :beer:
