But why do you want to be a size 8?

So my mum calls today to ask about my move home...

"oh will you be getting those boxes from XX's garage?"

Yes I need to get them before we move home why?

"Oh its just you will have to bin most of those clothes anyway, they will never fit you again"

Ok, thanks for that! They are only a dress size smaller than what I am right now, nice to know you think I will NEVER get back into them!

"No they are all a size 8 - 10, your much bigger than that, you wont ever fit in them"

Yes majority a size 10... I AM A SIZE 12! So that would be a dress size bigger then! I'm hardly massive, I am sure I will fit into them soon enough

"well you ARE massive, when you think that if I put on a size 12, it would just fall off me"

right, whatever



Needless to say at that point I hung up on her and she won't call back for a while and when she does it won't be to say sorry, it will be to pretend it never happened as she is just telling the truth!


So... As I move home in 3 - 4 weeks (not set a firm date as yet), I have that time to drop the dress size to fit back into all my size 10 items so my mum can shove her nasty narrow minded comments up her own arse! I have spent my whole life being told I was fat (yes even when I was an 8 - 10 I was still fat in my mothers eyes, although if you point that out now she denies it) and that my sister is pretty much perfect because she is a size 6. Apparently 5ft and a size 8 - 10 just wasn't what my mother wanted in a daughter.


So, to spur me on, I will post daily what I am going to eat/ have ate and what exercise I have done.


This is mainly an effort to keep my focus and remember I am trying to achieve. Not that I will mention what I am doing to my mother. Nope, I will just go home a size 10 and see if she even notices (you can bet she won't, but the point is I will be able to show her she was wrong).


So today I have had a low fat yoghurt (100 cals) but that’s down to me feeling ill rather than trying to eat less.


Dinner is going to be pasta with veggie sausage and beans. Snacks will be an apple and an orange or 2.


Not sure if I will manage exercise care of feeling blergh but we will see :)


Help me out here folks - I need lots of motivation! Currently working on a meal plan to do me the week, very dull, but at least it means I can see what I will be eating and what I have ate as I will stick it up in the kitchen.


So there we have it, a count down to being a size 8! Although I will be happy being a size 10 before I go home, thus dropping a dress size. I refuse to crash diet!
