Small enough to matter, big enough to win

So since I've come back from Paris where I walked and walked from the Eiffel Tower to the Gallerie LaFayette, where I watched and copied the Parisian Ladies by eating green beans and lambs lettuce with slices of wafer thin raw beef washed down by copious amounts of much too expensive wine I am pleased to announce my new weight loss of

0.4lb

Point four of one pound. Just under one half of one pound.

Thank God my weighing scales weighs in decimal pounds because that was so disheartening to see after all the exercising I did that if my weighing scales was of the old style I think I would have missed that 0.4lb loss and would have headed straight to the local chipper for a single and a battered burger and perhaps would even have thrown in a curry sauce then headed to the pub and had a couple of pints of larger to clear the palate and sat in front of the TV with bags of crisps in my pyjamas all day because it would make me feel much better and after weeks of that I wouldn't be able to leave the house because none of my clothes would fit any longer.

So now you can see what a even the slightest of weight loss can do for my self esteem.

I'm hoping that the fact that I have had two menstrual periods run one into the other means that I am doubly bloated having been menstruating non stop since the 17Th February 2009.

And for you guys who are reading this and trying to loose weight. You know who you are. COUNT YOURSELVES LUCKY.

I'm off for coffee now with friends in the Dundrum Shopping Centre and I'm going to pick up some iron tablets and a packet of water retention tablets and one of those home diagnosis menopausal kits.
