A girl at the gym asked me...

...Have you lost weight?

She went on to say she'd been watching me in yesterday's Body Combat class, but not in a stalking way or anything, and the change in my shape was really noticeable.

I explained I'd lost a stone and a hlaf since Christmas, largely thanks to the gym, lifting heavy, but also cutting down on carbs. And I'd gone from a UK size 14 to a 10.

She and another friend who was listening were "ooooh, I couldn't give up my pasta and toast!"

I laughed and said I hadn't given them up eaither, I just dont have them every day.

    Good for you. And I understand just what you mean, people with weight problems want to eat crap all day every day. We look at a then person eating a donut and think she eats what ever she wants......but you are right....we want to eat 4 donuts every day. Thanks for saying that....you helped me.
