Okay so it’s exam season right now so I think I can be forgiven for
a) not updating all that much
b) being a bit crappy with my eating habits (in fact I am sat eating chocolate brownie bites as I eat this… don’t judge me)

But anyway. I was just going to the kitchen to get some milk and thought “well, it’s inappropriate to go to the kitchen in just my shirt and underwear incase someone’s in there”.

So I open my wardrobe and grab like the nearest thing to put on, which happens to be a UK size 12 skirt I bought around this time last year, hoping to be able to fit into it by the time my holiday came around. As it stood, I could fit into it but had to wear it undone.  The last time I wore this skirt was around October time, where I still had to wear it completely undone.

So stood in my bedroom at university around 28lbs lighter than I was in January, I thought “oh I’ll try it on and see how far I’ve got to go until I can get it done up”. The way it fastens is 6 little metal clips on the side, and I thought I could get 2 or maybe 3 done up before I’d have to stop.

But no. I can get all 6 clips done up! :D It’s kinda tight, but not uncomfortably or painfully tight, I just have somewhat of an epic muffin top going on. But I can even sit down in it without it cutting into my stomach and it makes me so happy!

It’s really made me realise just how far I’ve come in this short space of time which has improved my mood TREMENDOUSLY. It’s also helped me to realise that occasionally having periods of shitty eating doesn’t matter.

So yeah I’m sorry for the sporadicness of my shitty posts but I just wanted to share this with everyone because I’m all pleased and whatnot :3

I know I don’t have many followers anyway, but for those of you who remain- hello!

I don’t know if anyone follows my main blog, but you may or may not know that around a month ago, me and my (now ex) boyfriend split up. This was around the time I’d started making a bunch of new friends and going out a lot more, and I felt the relationship was holding me back from my social potential somewhat (he was very overbearing).

For the past month or so I’ve not really been working out at all or been eating very well for a combination of reasons: I guess firstly I was kinda sad about the breakup, but then also my schedule got all messed up as I started a new job, I had a lot of work that needed handing in, and also as I said I was going out and being more social and making tons of new friends, all of which was pretty new and exciting for me.

Now I’ve finally settled into my “new” life, I’m jumping back into the healthy living routine! I know I will have gained a fair bit of weight over the past month, but I’m okay with that. I think I’ve still retained the healthy living mindset of “do you know what, there will be relapses sometimes”, which is good. I’m also really proud of myself for not feeling like a failure for eating crappy- I knew it was just a temporary blip and it wouldn’t last forever.

So, I’m not starting again, not at all, but continuing from where I left off a month ago, and hopefully the weight will start coming off again :)

Probably because I’ve been off the healthy bandwagon for a while. It’s hard to eat healthy when all you can afford is pasta and rice in bulk :p As soon as my loan comes in and I can afford healthy food again I amsogetting back on track.

I know I’ve only gained like 1-2lbs over the course of this month so it’s not too bad, I just feel super fat and jiggly today :( Which is sad, because I’ve been feeling pretty good lately.

On the upside, I have a date on Saturday :)
