I wear a size 10 UK/size 8 USA and sometimes size 10-12 Australian...confused yet? This comes from country hopping. Basically I am slim apart from my belly flap like a wallaby and my thighs which hang like spaniels ears in the saddlebag and inner thigh region. This means my clothes sizes can vary from a 8-12 depending on the cut. I also like to hide my belly skin so sometimes wear tops two sizes larger. I lucked out mostly as my skin isn't too bad elsewhere. This hasn't stopped me being fearful and obsessive about weight gain. I'm working with teenage body aspirations which is about as useful as a chocolate ashtray on a bicycle.

I went to Meeerica to visit San Francisco, Diana and then Las Vegas to see Spiky Bugger. It was awesome but let me add....I live in the trees. My nearest shop is 9 miles away and it is shite. I went mad like an alcoholic in a whiskey factory. From the moment my cloven hoofs touched terra firma I was eating or drinking coffee. Mostly both. Oh and shopping...there are shops, many many shops.

I am a bloater. Kind of like a marsh toad but with more body hair. I had bloated up at least 4kgs on arrival after 10hrs sitting and not shitting. My calf's were like hams and my pants were tight. But...sushi! So when in Merica...I ate. My God the food the fucking fooood! I was in food porn heaven but also carbing like a mo fo. Bearing in mind I'd chucked on 4kg from travel and gone up a pants size almost immediately I expected the very worst when I got home.

Today I weighed my neurotic little self on the very bastardly accurate work scales. I am 0.5kgs heavier than what I was before I left. Seriously? I am amazed because I was outrageous! Now however I need compliance as the stressful times roll on. I've a big house move and changes in my job status pending (all good but big change none the less). I have a working DS but that bitch needs her wheels greasing. So knuckle down time. Get in alllll my calcium for my shite PTH and allll my multi's for my connective tissues, brain function and ohh everything else.

After almost 5 years this shit is still awesome but you still need to be mindful. I'm still an addict. Christ I sounded Californian then with all this personal disclosure. Watch out I'll be wearing cheesecloth and doing birkram yoga next.
 
And we didn't hit any Mexican restaurants.

Otoh, you did have a hot dog on a stick. Which probably explains the .5 kgs.
 
Also...for as sociable as you are, you are really tucked away from humanity most of the time, right? You live in the trees and at work you're in the damned North Sea.

J. D. Salinger would envy your lifestyle!
 
Hot dog on a stick......I blame it most defiantly.

Yeh I'm a proper hermit crab....me and the deer.
 
I did eat lovely mexican in San something or other...no Jose...on the coast ...shit see this is what happens as soon as you get past 40.

Past 40? FORTY?!? ROFLMAO.

My KID is less than a year from 40. Let's move to the BIG numbers.


ETA...She is pushing forty and back then, I was considered an "elderly primapara." Which means I'm antique now.

Mexican food was at a restaurant across the street from the Santa Cruz Boardwalk - La Barrenada. It was not bad - but it was close to the Boardwalk and not the mostly fried crap on the Boardwalk proper.
 
and I SO enjoyed meeting you & Saint David :)
The next week I forced my car into the mall parking lot (I would prefer your trees to my stores) and got my own 'Karma' Excellent!
 
Excellent......I've just re-ordered my poo porri. I have found the perfect combination.

I let fly in a public toilet on the way to work. It was dire. I sprayed my poo porri like mad then swooshed my Lush Karma around. I flushed then washed my hands. As I was washing a woman came in with her 4 year old and made a bee line for the cubical I was in (please God no). I hear this happy little voice... "It's nice in here Mummy"! Bloody hell. Normally people burst out like startled Gizell running for their lives with a look of abject horror. Proof is in being vetted by a small person.
 
What is Lush Karma? And which scent of potpourri do you find helpful? I can SO picture the look on your face when the Mom and child walked into that restroom....lol
 
Lush is a store that sells hand made cosmetics,soaps and scents. It is lovely. The scent is called Karma.
