Just had to share my new nickname!!

[elisebutt]

At the school gate, some of the other mums have taken to calling me 'Skinny'!!! Me???? Can't quite believe it.

Also went to post a parcel today and my friendly postman called me Skinny Ribs as well!!!! His wife (who seems to have put on a few pounds lately) wasn't too pleased when he called her over for me to give a few tips to. Don't blame her really - I hated it when people drew attention to my size before - now I'm positively revelling in it.

I have also decided to reduce my target, esp. as I've had a few comments lately when I tell them how much I've got to lose. So have just decided after another 20lbs I'm going to stay in maintenance. After all 140 is such a nice round number - also 10 stone in UK measurements so even rounder really. I thin kif I go for the extra 7lbs I might be a bit too thin and start to lose my boobs or bum - eeek!!!!

Well done Skinny ribs!! You should be really proud of yourself for everthing that you have done. You're a real motivation. Enjoy your new life and revel in all the comments and praise that you are receiving you really deserve it.

I'm 5'6". So I think 140 will be a nice healthy weight for me, and easier to maintain!!.
So nice to be able to get into size 10(US - I think) and not have to lie down to do up the zip!!!

And I got whistled at 3 times today!!!! - WOW been a long time since anyone noticed enough to whistle once - (even though I know it's supposed to be demeaning to women, being treated like sex objects - etc. etc)
