The bust is actually where my fat seems to leave first (now is that fair?) But to be fat for cleavage sakes I know is not healthy. So Natasha (my Canadian friend who has just spent a few days with us here in Wales) and I made a pact that we would stay away from all refined sugar until Christmas Day. I'll be healthier, and besides, it will make Christmas that much sweeter.
I have tried to regulate my sugar intake so many times. I know how bad it is for my body in so many ways. I once gave up sugar for a whole year, but then when I have treated myself on my birthday or Christmas I slowly go back to being addicted and eating too much sugar again.
Why does it have to be one or the other?
I feel it has to do with my terrible self control, but I have a suspicion I now have more self control in my life - I did not drag the man who threw his sweet wrapper out of his window yesterday in a car park from his car and beat him over the head screaming "it is because of selfish imbeciles like you that this world is such a screwed up place!" I only thought it. I even communicated it to my husband. But I did not do it. So, you see. I have self control :)
I also know exercise is essential. Natasha already regularly goes to the gym, whereas that is something I need to implement into my life when I get to Spain. John tells me that we have a great women-only gym 5 minutes walk from our house in Seville. Although I do feel guilty about the expense (which motivates me to go more) I know it will be money well spent.
So on to a healthier, fitter lifestyle. Can you hear the genuine excitement in my printed tone? Can you feel the electrical pulse of momentum dragging me off my perhaps-I-shall-have-one-more-chocolate backside into the world of 'no thank you, that banoffee pie does look very nice but I think I will refrain'. Of course you can. That is why I have written this post. It is here to remind me of my resolve and overwhelming desire to turn my back on chocolate hell and move into healthy heaven, bustless or not.

Honey is good with lemon on crepes. Honey is ok.
Banoffee pie is banana and toffee with a biscuit base. John often makes them for the kids birthdays.
I have a friend Julie who is going to join us! Cool!
Hmmm just going to have breakfast and French toast sounds good.
Good luck!!! I think it is easier when you have a buddy system.
My problem is Pepsi. I just can't give it up for good. I have done it for months at a time. But it always finds it's way back into my life. Very sneaky it is.
Steph - Yes knowing Natasha is doing this too really helps. Especially on stressed out days. I always want junk food when I am stressed! So I am eating non sugar junk food instead. :-)
