Sorry but I'm having a great week......

I don't normally post in such quick succession but I am having a brilliant week this week.


Been to Commando training twice this week (will be there tonight and tomorrow as well) and I'm just feeling good about everything.


I've been out shopping on Friday (I spoke about that in my last blog) and I went out shopping again yesterday. I'm loving trying on all these new styles and when something doesn't fit, I don't mind. It gives me something to aim for. Before I wouldn't try things on, I couldn't stand the disappointment of another thing not fitting. I didn't have a choice of clothes really, I'd just buy whatever fitted me and when I found something that fit, I'd buy it in all the available colours.


Well yesterday, I wore out one of the new things that I bought on Friday, black jeggings with a grey top that was longer at the back than the front. I was so paranoid when I left the house!! I kept thinking that I had to go back to the house to change, that someone of my size should not be wearing these trousers out in public. It wasn't until we were pulling into Edinburgh Waverly that I caught a look at my reflection in the window and I realised, I didn't actually look the way I thought I did in my head. So I strutted my stuff out in Edinburgh all day!!


I went into Dorothy Perkins as well and I bought the most risque top I have ever bought, EVER!! I loved it in the shop and when I got it home I got Matt's honest opinion. He's so good when it comes to giving opinions on what I'm wearing. If he doesn't like it, he tells me so. Anyway, he liked it as well. It's more a going out top and I've put a couple of pictures of it below. I could get away without a wee vest underneath it but I think for the first outing, I'll wear a vest. I still can't believe that I'm able to shop in Dorothy Perkins. When I look in the mirror, I've always seen the character Bubbles from Little Britain looking back at me (I've put a picture below just in case you're not sure who I'm talking about). And at times, I still do but that's starting to change and I love my new outfit. Jeggings and my new top, I now just need a night out to wear it too........

Good news!!!!

I'm not sure how to start this post.  It's been so full on with placement at the moment and I've got one more essay due for Uni. I only have 9 weeks left until I'm fully qualified. I starte d to apply for jobs a few weeks ago and got called for an interview in the hospital that I currently work in but unfortunately I didn't get it. On Saturday just passed, I went down to Manchester for an interview. I wasn't sure how the interview had gone, it was so intense. I became really aware during the interview that I was speaking very quickly in my Scottish accent and I started to concentrate on slowing down my speech. I came out of it convinced that I had done ok but not well enough to actually get the job. But all the interviews are good practice. They said they would let me know by Friday so I just put it out of my mind. However, I got a call yesterday from them......................and I GOT THE JOB!!!!! It's full time and permanent. I can't believe it,...

Devastated!!

When I wrote my last blog, I knew that I had some huge news although I didn't think I would be telling our news this early or that this is how it would end. I'm writing about this because I promised this blog would be honest and the last few weeks have had a huge impact on me as an individual and Matt & I as a couple. I discovered at the end of June that I was pregnant. I was so excited and could not believe it. With my PCOS I had given up any hope of falling pregnant naturally. I was over the moon. Unfortunately at 5 weeks I started to bleed. A week later, I had a scan but they couldn't tell me whether the pregnancy was viable anymore so I've had to wait another week. Today it was confirmed that I have lost the baby. The last 2 weeks have been some of the worst I've ever had. I've only been able to fall asleep by imagining that we were told the baby was still growing. But when I wake up it's like a jolt back to reality when I realise that that's...

Willpower

I've never considered myself one of these lucky people who have a load of willpower. In fact I would say I'm exactly the opposite but I've set myself a wee challenge to test what little willpower I have. In my handbag are 3 chocolate sweets that I got off my granny ages ago. They've just sat in the bottom of my bag and I had totally forgotten about them. During a wee craving for sugar this week, I found them and really felt like I needed them. BUT I didn't have them. So they've become sort of like a reminder that I don't need any crappy food. I watched One Born Every Minute this week and there was a woman on it who suffered from the same thing I do, PCOS. She made a good point as well. PCOS is affected by weight and to have a baby she was told that she had to lose it. She would starting weighing up junk food with a baby. Now I know that Matt and I aren't at the baby making phase yet but ultimately if I want to have a family I need to get rid of my ex...
