"Never eat more than you can lift."

A quote from the true diva of all Miss Piggy.

My blogs of late have been about Ian so for today this one isn't this is about my diet. It seems amazing that after 6 months I am nearly half way there to target. Back in January I optimistically set my target at 10 stone to lose. I never thought in a million years I would get there that it was just too much.

A few years ago I would have given up or written it off as a bad loss. But not now this last year has shown me that there is love and beauty in this world and I so want to be a part of it all. I have also seen selfish greed dictate the actions of people. Their only thought is to how to better there own advantage, I can live with that one day it will come back to kick them in the backside.

So here we are 4 1/2 stone down and 5 1/2 stone to go before I am at target. I won't get there by September but I will be on my way. It has at times been tough and i've been badly tempted and on 2 occasions I did gain weight. But that's ok because the next week I pulled it back and lost the weight i'd gained.

It comes down to a simple question. What do I want more? Well for me that's easy I don't want a big meringue dress. I want something pretty and i've found it now I just need to fit into it without looking like i'm going to erupt out of it.

So to my fellow SW buddies Dawn, Dia, Linda, Faye, Spev and Sue don't give up keep at it and we will all reap the rewards. I was told yesterday that I was an inspiration to a friend. Something that thrilled me so much. Ladies you are my inspiration and you push me to go so much further.

So my lovely friends have a great weekend and I leave you with a photo of what I need to work towards.
