I am fat.
I have been pretending for months that it is just cuddly. That being slightly over weight is OK.
I can no longer do up my zips and buttons on my pants.
Enough.
It is not cuddly and it is not cool.
I have been cycling for months to no avail.
Andreas tells me, with a really straight face, that I need to stop the wine.
STOP THE WINE.
Does he know that the wine is what keeps me sane. Does he know that the wine stops me from stabbing him repeatedly when he annoys me at night.
Wonder if he has considered that the girls may leave home if the wine is gone.
What of the dogs who don't listen to me, will they survive this lack of the mood stabiliser?
I looked in the mirror.
The wine has to go.
Life is sooooo not fair.
I stopped smoking 6 months ago and now my wine must also go.
I will have no more vices.
How boring . For me. Maybe not for those who have the misfortune of living with me.
But damn , I just can't be so cuddly that the zips and buttons can't be closed anymore, and I will not go up another size.
I refuse.
So - with tears in my eyes.
I begin the mourning for my close friend.
Goodbye wine.

I am lucky enough to have a huge wonderful, multi layered garden, with which I have made various 'project area's'.
I have had great fun and many hours of pleasure putting this wonderland together. Children are always facinated and many an adult has been enchanted by all the little goodies that are hidden and not so hidden all over the place.
In each project area there is a variation of features.
In some areas there are multiple steel goodies, in others painted ceramics, (only collaged my favourites below), and there are statues in lots of places.
I have a special fairy garden, with lots of big and small fairies and fairy houses hidden in trees and all over that particular section.
My newest and latest addition is the wishing well that has just been erected (after standing lopsided for over two years - battled to get hubby motivted enough to get it put up) Its up and its wonderful!

Congrats on quitting smoking! Definately a hard vice to get rid of.
I am on a diet too and it is so unfair what you cannot have. Everytime I eat a stinkin' salad (and believe me I am SICK of salad!) I just keep saying, "God coulda made it taste like chocolate!"
Good luck with your wine. I am trying to stop drinking Coke/diet Coke because soda is really fattening too, but water is so boring.
Good luck!
Hi, found you at Cherie's blog. I'm on a diet to. AUGH! Our family is having a Healthapalooza beginning on Sunday. I don't drink wine, but I do LOVE chocolate and sweets.
I guess we all have whatever keeps us sane.
Have a good day.

I have told myself that I am fat and fabulous. Who am I kidding?? If I stop eating completely, how long will it take me to lose 13 kg??
Dont like wine, no probs for me. Pretend that it tastes like the worst thing you could possibly imagine. How about trying a less fattening wine substitute. I am only thinking of dad and the girls...
Stop been so hard on yourself!!! One day at a time.
