It’s getting into February now and I have still not managed to shift those extra pounds everyone manages to put on around the Christmas break. I’m not too worried – it’s still a good few months before bikini weather, but it still makes a massive difference to your self esteem when you’re weighing more than you are used to. Even though people around me tell me they can’t really see a difference, I look that way I want to look, not how others want me to look, so I need to lose this weight for myself. Also, what they don’t know is that I’ve been dressing strategically to cover the weight, something a lot more viable in the winter! My trusty cardigown is covering all manner of sins, and keeping me warm as well!
