Oh F*** a Wedding!.

I knew I had an evening party to attend in August, but imagine my shock when we receieved an actual wedding invite this morning. The first thing that entered my head was F***! What am I going to wear!? I haven’t been to that many weddings… In fact I think I have been to two, and one of those I was the bridesmaid. The only wedding I have ever attended as a guest was when I was about twelve years old and I remember the exact outfit I was bought to wear too. Bless my mum, it was very expensive but absolutely hideous. It was a navy “over the knee” pleated skirt with elasticated waist, a navy camisole and a peach (yes peach!!) cardigan, handbag and shoes. I will have to see if mum still has pictures of me in it and frighten you all off.

So now, over ten years later, all grown up – What on earth do people wear to weddings? Fat people!?! I know the basics… Don’t wear white as that’s for the bride. Don’t wear black as it is associated with mourning. Mmm I’m buggered then! Most of my wardrobe is black. If anyone has any tips, please, PLEASE leave them in my comments!

Thankfully, I have my best friend coming to visit at the end of July, and I’m sure she has been to plenty of weddings… she’s completely honest with me when i’m trying on clothes. I’ll drag her along with me and we’ll find something perfect (I hope!!!) I guess it is something to give me even more motivation to get to my goal. I don’t really know what my goal is yet apart from being happy with my shape, size and look.

After the gym this morning, I made myself a fab smoothie for lunch from strawberries, half a mango and some low fat natural yoghurt and it was nice! I strained it through a metal sieve to get rid of the strawberry pips though – I can’t stand “bitty” drinks. I think we’re having cous cous again for dinner tonight as we have to use it up and as far as sugar addiction for today goes, I’ve been good… very good infact. I’ve found these fantastic weight watchers carrot cakes that are 1 point each (I’m on 22 points a day) and they are the perfect solution for a sweet craving. Plus I’m not really the type of person to eat a whole box, so no worries about that.

I’ve also set out a new method of treating myself. Instead of associating food with a treat, I am going to use my treats for clothes, shoes, games.. anything apart from food. It will work out a little more expensive – well ok a lot more! Yesterday we bought an XBox360. But I think it will help Fingers crossed
