    One of my reasons for losing weight is
    An operation,
    Feeling more confident
    So I can ride (horses) again
    So I can wear clothes that are modern and fun, not frumpy and cover everything up
    So I can sit comfortably on the ickle chairs in class
    So I can get down to a healthy BMI (boring!)
    So I feel confident when I take my clothes off (sorry, bit rude, but it's true)
    So I can fit into my clothes without the addition of extreme muffin top

    we can also start a list for reasons NOT to lose weight and mine would have to be,
    Cant afford new clothes
    Easy to stay where I am!!
    Too lazy to cook 'proper' food

    people think I'm bubbly and happy, so what's the problem?
    i lurve chocolate and all things bad for me
    My DH loves my cuddly bits (two cuddly bits in particular!)
    I've got a man who loves how I look anyway
    I want to keep what little I have in my bra:rolleyes:



    These are my additions to the list, good idea this:T

    Here is my eating plan for the day, as usual it is SW easy peasy plan:D

    Breakfast - oats so simple with blueberries and milk (heb,free,hea)

    Lunch - Leftover beef stew and mashed potatoe plus an apple (free)

    snack - slice of stollen (10 syns)

    Dinner - Roast ham with jacket potatoes and peas, carrots and brussels with a couple of satsumas later on and perhaps a muller too! (free, free all free)

    Have a good one everybody:A
    Love
