I have never been fussy about what size clothes I buy, and in fact I often find that buying a bigger size looks better and helps to hide those lumps and bumps.
However after going to a very posh strees market the other day I started thinking. I overheard a conversation on a handmade clothes stall:
Woman "this is nice, its a medicum, what size is that"
Vendor " a medium is a size 10"
Now in what bonkers world is a small ( size 8), a medium( size 10) and a large a (12). Based on that they will have to create a new dress size just for me, maybe it will be entitled elephant or sealion size!
So being a bit obsessional I googled average UK size:

Phew, at a size 14/16 I am in fact average ( on the large side of medium), and not actually a whale.

This is gross sorry
I am clearly rubbish at the wieght loss and being healthy thing, so I have a new plan.
My disgusting children brought home a diarrhoea and vomiting bug from school last week, kids are the most foul little bug spreaders ever! They quickly passed it on to me, and I have been rough rough rough.
Their baby brother also is leaking out of his bum like a tap, which I thought at first was the teething thing, but now I am not so sure. Anyway looking on the bright side, atleast running around changing his bum keeps me busy and stops me even fancying food for a loooonnnng while after each nappy change.
Anyway living on the loo, and not even being able to bear the thought of food when ill has got me thinking. Perhaps I should be encouraging theses bugs into the house, and then I will definitely be a size 10 within weeks!

Another little slip, ops
It seemed like a great idea to buy lots of the Asda offer of 3 boxes of chocolates for £10, so I am nice and ready for the hundreds of teachers, LSA, cub and rainbow leaders, childminder and so on presents that we give out at Christmas time.
I am more than happy to give a little token of our appreciation, but I hate paying full price. You may then think that it is indeed sensible to buy them up when while we can.
My issue comes in that I accidentally unlocked the house, went to the garage, found them in the cupboard, opened the box, and then accidentally ate the whole box in two days.
Do you get the impression that I suck at this weight loss challenge thing.
