I live here:
...and today it is beautiful outside. Sunny, bright, crisp. The husband is in the living room, watching something to do with sport. I am in the study, trying to catch up on my pending pile, but blogging instead. Which is on my pending pile, to be fair.
The husband's parents came over last night. We were married last year, in a small traditional ceremony, which only my husband and I attended. This was mainly because he asked me three weeks before we were going to do it, so we didn't really have time to arrange things. This year, we're getting married in the eyes of the law and of the people around us. We all got nicely tipsy last night discussing plans, and his parents seemed pleased, which made me happy.
I am so much larger than I was a year ago, and would love to get back down to a size 8 for my wedding. I was a 4 when we met (I'm talking in UK sizes, by the way); a 6 when we were engaged and an 8 when we were married. Now we're 'getting legal', I'd like to be an 8 again; the problem being I've put on two dress sizes since then.
I am also worried about starting to lose weight, as I only recovered from anorexia when I moved in with my husband. He worked wonders for my self-esteem, and I discovered that food can be a good thing. Now I like it, and enjoy having meals as part of my day.
So, my plan is to exercise more and eat pretty much what I eat already (I'm a very healthy eater). The problem with this is that the pills I'm on make it difficult to move. They make me sick in the mornings and seem to make walking more difficult. However, for the next week I'm going to try getting up early and going for a run before I take them, to see if it works. I'm sure it will. When I was at my most unwell as a teenager, I managed to run every day, probably just due to a large helping of willpower.
Wish me luck!
I feel the need to apologise for focussing on my lack of health in this post; but it is my blog, and no-one's going to read it. And I did set up this account specifically for this reason. Still, the guilt is there, so sorry if you were hoping for some more satisfying reading material!

I wish you luck love happiness and much health. I wish I knew what a uk size 4 was perhaps if you just said your weight and your height would work for me.
In any case, I am Joy aka violet and you are my friend on facebook under joyanddubblex leftow and my blog is joy's poetry blog which I think you have seen.
Cat do what you want because none of know how long our visit lasts.
Ahh, I was wondering who the Facebook person was! Hello :)
If you're in the US, a 4 roughly equates to a 0. If you're somewhere else, I'm not sure! :)
