Halloween part one
November 16th 2006 01:25
Yesterday, my sister and I went looking for Halloween costumes. The lady at the local dress-up shop was one of those tactless people. She greeted us by saying “so you want costumes for the BIG girls”, then went on to tell my sister “if you can wear a singlet out [to the shops], then you can certainly wear this”, my sister was trying on blonde wigs which she wasn’t used to, and was worried about how they looked. What a lovely lady! Toni decided that she didn’t need our business and we left.
The party is on Saturday, three days away, I am hoping to look wonderful, I am dressing up as Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction. Maybe I can rename it “Plump Fiction”. I am sure no one will know who I am, but I don’t care, I just love the black wig.
Day Seventy One
Ok, the Uma Thurman thing is just a recipe for disaster. I will only feel self-conscious, so I have decided to just go as a person in a black wig.
I have now lost a total of seven kilos. I know it has taken me 10 weeks to do it, but my doctor said that half a kilo a week is what I should aim for. It does make sense that; the longer it takes you to lose the weight the more likely it is that you will have changed your lifestyle for good.
The other night I was watching a makeover program and I saw liposuction being performed. Oh my god! I am now having second thoughts about that tummy tuck. It was so gross, and the colour of the fat was like cooking oil, all yellow and clumpy. I really wish that when you ordered a large fries from McDonalds that it actually looked like the fat that they were sucking out, I know I would not want to eat it then.
I also think they should put warnings on food just like on cigarettes: “Eating excessive amounts of deep fried food can lead to obesity, heart disease and low self esteem”. At least then I would have it staring me in the face. My sister thinks they should put a mirror panel on all chip packets, so you get to see yourself getting fatter. I think it would work better than the smoking warnings - I don’t know a single person who takes any notice of them.
I am going to the party tonight, wish me luck, hopefully I can just relax, have a good time and not stress out about how I look. I know……… a bottle of champers should do the trick!
