Lent

I missed the new year's resolutions boat this year, and have decided to hijack Lent to kickstart some of my goals instead. I am going to see if I can live without three things which, whilst they are intensely pleasureable, will be even more so if I did them less often and with more restraint. If I type them here, i have to give them up, because the INTERNET DOES NOT FORGIVE, so, without further ado...

1. No more pasta or gnocchi. Because without them my skin and stomach seem far happier.
2. No more meals out. I can sit in a restaurant while friends eat, but I cannot eat in the restaurant. the one exception to this rule is a meal with lil bro and his girlfriend when they visit in late March.
3.No buying of clothes of any kind. No vintage, no H and M, no Zara, no ASOS, no nothing. Nothing, nothing nothing. Which will allow me to save up for this -


(Jigsaw, 149 pounds)... As well as pretty much everything from Toast this season.

In order to make it all a bit more positive, and not just about deprivation, I also resolve to -

1. Join weightwatchers and take this diet thing seriously. It has taken me a long time to get here, but now that I am finally in a place where I can look myself in the eye and admit that I am deeply unhappy about my weight, I really should do something about it.
2. Start running, because I really enjoy the way in makes me feel - strong, amazonian and, er, empowered.
3. Crack on with reading for next year / catch up on all the books I didn't read last year.

Wish me luck!
