After my earlier ebay success (i count listing two pairs of shoes a success) ive started arranging my aforementioned dainty lady clothes.
Let me tell you a little bit about my dainty lady clothes…
Iv’e always fluctuated between a size 2-8 on top and 8-12 on the bottom, so i have many many cute tops and things as small as a 2 and possibly a ZERO! I’m now struggling between 14-16 ALL OVER, it’s horrific let me tell you.
It all started last January when i discovered i was pregnant and took that as my ‘careful eating get out of jail free card’ and as an employee of a well known bakers at the time, i was in the best place to start. I had cream cakes for breakfast, cream cakes after a pastry based lunch, a cream cake for the journey home and you know what i had after my dinner… you guessed it CREAM CAKES! Not just cream cakes though, i ate my weight in chocolate and cheese* and threw caution to the wind and drank milkshakes instead of water (the baby needed the calcium!!).
Of course i steadily gained weight but having never been pregnant before i didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary and i had BOOBS for the first time in my life, and it was kinda nice running around feeling like a woman in bloom, stopping for the odd cake and carrying on about my day all busty and jiggly like Beyonce and stuff.
So in October i dropped the sprog and instantly lost 7lb 15oz….AWESOME! this was going to be easy peasy….what i didn’t drop was my appetite and fondness for eating whatever i wanted!!
Nate was a super tearful baby, with terrible digestive problems so a lot of time was spent nursing him and cleaning up puke, along with all the regular difficult baby stuff like nappies and finding time to have a poop when you needed one (seriously). You’d think the weight dropped off wouldn’t you?? NOPE instead i was actually waking up in the middle of the night and eating bars of chocolate out of my bedside cabinet (Some women like to keep mechanical boyfriend replacements here, i personally like to keep sweets.)
I still do it now, i grab on the go…
Anyway, i refused to buy any larger lady clothes to replace my dainty lady clothes because i was convinced i would lose the weight after a month or two….WRONG.
So to stop a long story becoming a longer one, i’m selling my dainty lady clothes on Ebay so i can afford some larger lady clothes…..
I’m not fat, i’m CURVY.
*Not together, although i did like mixing honey loops with pringles at one point during pregnancy.
