About
I started blogging when I started dieting, like lots of weight-loss bloggers do. I discovered a passion for writing that I never knew I had, and my blog is more like a daily column of all the things going around in my head. I never expected this incredible community to grow up within the blog - it's a joy, pure and simple.

This is a blog about dieting. Well, I say that…it's not a blog about a diet as such,.. it's more about what goes on in my head because I'm ON a diet. Basically I'm a fat.. lady trying to be skinny and I laugh, a lot!

- One Whole WeekWhen I stepped aboard the Shitbird Scale last week and the number forced me to acknowledge exactly how rebellious I’d allowed myself to become, I took it on the chin. As the week went on, I resisted the temptation to check in every day, so betw...
- Nailed OnI looked like I’d swallowed a beach ball when I went to bed last night, but at least I hit the mattress knowing that I have five days’ worth of self-control safely over the line. I felt fat, but actually that was more to do with the mount...
- Hey! That Used To Be Me!Well, this is day four of my fledgling food sobriety, and days one two and three passed without drama. I’m doing okay. I ate more crumpets last night than I’d intended after my fat furnace workout – four, not two – and yes I k...

- It Was The Mince Pie That Did ItYou know, don’t you, when you wake up brimming with determination that today’s the day you’re going to tip your world the right way up again, but then you go downstairs and eat a mince pie for breakfast that the day is going to be o...
- Pulling It OffI’ve been trying to find the words to finish off the tale of my epic adventure but just between you and me, those words have proved incredibly elusive this week…perhaps they’re off somewhere partying with my willpower, which has al...
- Oh, Do The Hokey Cokey…So. Excuse the brief hiatus, it’s been a busy few days and the asshole voice has scored a couple more direct hits since that confident proclamation that I’ve got this now because I’m back in the zone. Back in the zone my arse. IR...
- Some Kind Of BalanceI woke up yesterday morning feeling very skinny, which is odd when you consider that I’m still one hundred and two pounds heavier than I intend to be this time next year. But then, don’t you think feeling skinny is a subjective thing any...
- Nothing Happened Hereon Sep 2, 2016 in In the here & now accountable bitch in the bathroom control determination happy weight lossSo I’ve got to be honest, waking up with the rocky road spoon in my bed made me laugh out loud, but it also served as a reminder of the way things used to be with me. And along with the spoon came not a small amount of regret for allowing mysel...

It was fine, I mean nothing disastrous. I’d climbed the steps which would have counteracted some of the naughtiness at dinne...
- Limping Across The Finish Line…Crikey I’ll tell you what, I know I was leaning towards feeling mardy about the fact that I was only going on holiday for a week this year instead of two, but as it turns out that’s probably a good thing. I reckon one more day and caution...
- Not This Year…I’d somehow imagined that my suitcase this year would be as light as a feather given that the clothes in it are several sizes smaller than the ones it carried last year. I had the good grace to look a bit sheepish earlier this afternoon when pa...
- Getting All Reflective On Your AssCan you remember what you were doing exactly one year ago today..? I can. It was a Monday – of course it was – and more than that it was the first Monday after my holiday. It was the Monday I started my diet. It’s been a year folks...
- Four Women, One Mountain, And A Wayward DogSaturday was an enormous day…I conquered my very first mountain. I use the word mountain in its loosest sense you understand, since technically Pen Y Ghent is a peak, but to me it looked like a mountain, so that’s what I’m calling i...

- Did I Really Miss It?on Aug 5, 2016 in In the here & nowIt’s funny you know, when it dawned on me last week that I was actually missing the sessions down in the Kingdom of Pain as I rested my neck, I did ponder long and hard about whether I was only desperate to go because I’d been told I cou...
