There's more to life than shoes - Shoe Gal's 2010 diary

oooh, congrats on the weight loss shoe gal

Just started my crazy diet today... sticking to around 1000 calories on my days off work, but it takes ridiculous discipline. Swear I couldn't do it if it wasn't for the fact I was on basically a vita-wheat and 1 main meal diet at one stage and stuck with that for a couple of months. Just want to make my target though

Keep up all the good work, those pounds will keep coming off! Its so worth it in the end!

Thanks - find it really hard going

Been shopping!

After all the dithering, found the shoes in Office, tried them on - and didn't like them :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway, bought a stripy cardi and treated myself to a YSL mascara with my House of Fraser vouchers, bought a purse with my DP vouchers and a lovely 'Chanel' style jacket for £10 in the sale with my Oasis voucher

Boots had offers on body butters and scrubs so treated myself to one of each

All in all, including parking and a drink, the whole trip cost me £9.83 in 'real' money :j:j Finally the MSE bug bites

Saw lots of lovely things a 'slimmer' me could wear :rolleyes: but actually it was motivating rather than depressing. Should get about £100 in incentive vouchers through work in a few months so it would be good to have a bit of a spree then

In the meantime, I have promised myself I will make an effort everyday to look as good as I can

Been to my Mum's for a lovely roast (and apple crumble

) so not exactly a diet friendly day! Am now tempted by chocolate - and I haven't dome my 30 minutes exercise today :eek:

How awful :mad: is there anything else you like the look of? (whoops - I seem to be encouraging shopping :rotfl::rotfl:)

Nope, not that I have found cheap and cheerful. I like the look of several hundred things on asos though...

Bright side is a couple have bid on the things I am selling.
