    I have some new jeans, bought on impulse a couple of months ago :o, which just about fit but create a mega muffin top :rolleyes:


    So target is
    • to wear the jeans on 3 weeks (17th Sept)
    They are now hanging on the outside of my wardrobe as a little incentive :D

    Good incentive babes!

    i love getting into new clothes... i always have an aspirational something waiting in the wings... not too small, as you say the kinda thing that is fractionally too tight... so you can really feel the good of it when i fits you.
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    I am very tempted - and can't help wondering whether the fact that I would then not be able to afford food for the rest of the month might help with dieting :confused:

  • OO Hello ShoeGal I was going to bed but then saw your diary and wanted to come and say hello!

    You sound really good and you are making fab progress, I think I might nick your goddess plan, I love that idea.

    I suggest you save and budget for Spain! You only live once!!

    It certainly would help with dieting. Just another reason to make sure you go!

    In a strange way the very fact that l am hesitating shows how far l've come - the old Shoe Gal would have booked the flights and bought the suncream by now :D

    I agree with Sarah and Buffy! You've gotta go! I'm sure with alot of careful planning/budgeting you'll be able to do it! Could you ask for money towards spends for your b-day?
