Evening from Almondbury

Good evening all,
Hope this finds you well. Thank you to all who left comments, theyre so lovely to read.
Been out with daughter today, got measured for bra’s for our wedding gear….ha ha, I could have worn my size as a beanie, a whopping 40G!! Not so much lace, far too much metal and more elastane than a bungee cord. Needless to say, I passed on the hammock x 2 with straps hoping for something marginally more pretty… might try Bravisimo, I am told they’re good.
Been good on the ole diet today, skimmed grass and low fat lettuce, so might not run out of weight watchers so quickly this week. I wrote a few words last week, to describe my battle with the brie and here it is, you might titter a little…

Bless me Dotty for I have surely sinned
My belly is quite swollen and I guess its not just wind
I tried the other week and the weight loss came with ease
And a cocky little bugger me, I reached again for cheese.
I’d started to feel quite lively, spring was in my stride
But its been to shortly lived, I am back to getting wide
My bra is getting tighter, knickers under strain
The lung capacity of a gnat and knee joints giving pain
I dream at night that I am thin, I shapely little dolly
And my waking hours are spent disguising cornetto’s in my trolley
You can read this out at fat club, I wouldn’t think it rude
My friends will know its me, I’m the one being weighed in the nude
So I plead for your help one more time, help me to get slim and fit
The hoover wont cope with liposuction and I aint got a jaw wiring kit
So I’ll empty the junk laden cupboards, get rid of high calorie clutter
I know its mind over matter but with me its jam over butter
In eight weeks time I’ll be on show, its getting very near
I don’t want to wear a marquee to hide my increasing rear
So chain me to those scales Dotty and don’t let me falter
Or my dear fiance may simply leave me slurping ice cream at the alter

Nighty night all
Love Sue x

I hope you find a really glamorous bra, Sue. Surely there is something sexy for the over-B-cup girls. I loved your poem - have also felt the need on more than one occasion to weigh myself in the nude.
Don't forget to post wedding-stuff photos!
