Handbags and Gladrags

I've discovered a pitfall to this weight loss malarky. Suddenly I'm all interested in fashion and stuff. This is leading me to trying out new make up, desiring new clothes, and coveting fabulous new handbags. One website leads to another and my purse is quaking in fear!

Today I tried on a dress...2 actually. I am not a dress sort of person, they never look nice on me, and even Gok says trousers are best for my "Beautiful Butterfly" shape. But the 2 dresses I tried on both looked pretty nice! I have to resist though because I don't want to spend fortunes on clothes I'll barely get any use out of. Can't hurt to look though, hey!

I could have done with a dress on Thursday actually, as I went out with some friends and I wanted to look good. We went for Tapas, which was fabulous and fun. And I tried to stick to the spirit of Food Optimising, even if I couldn't stick to the letter. In case you are wondering, yes, I am lining up my excuses for weigh in on Monday... ;-) I don't think I did much harm, I stuck to the veggie menu really which always seems healthier. But I don't think it's healthy or wise to sit fretting about syns too much when on a rare night out with friends. My journey is a long one, so if I just made it a week longer I can live with that.

Sunday -updated to add: Somebody stop me! I'm all over the internet today looking at dresses! There's no hope for my bank balance, that's all I'm saying...

I had the exact same problem and I have only one word to say: charity shops. Drat. Two words. Well, you know what I mean!

That's a good idea! I've taken my search to Ebay now too, which is where it should have been in the first place. I just need to remember my Paypal password.....
