Full Figured Women!

My hunt for bikinis has taken me to some really dodgy websites and shops. Finding swimwear for full figured women is impossible! Online, you will find websites like this one that have size 4 models modelling full figured swimwear. How the hell am I suppose to know what these bikinis look like on me?

Then of course there's actually going into the shops and trying them on. Now every women out there reading this will agree with me that trying out swimwear is the most horrible chore in the world! You actually go into the changing rooms with the same bikini but in three different sizes. None of them will fix right, naturally, and you end up going home more depressed than when you left, keeping in mind that when you left home you KNEW you were going bikini shopping and would come home empty handed!

I HATE SKINNY PEOPLE!

New Year, New Me!

This winter hit me hard. As many of you know I suffer from SAD. I go from a cheery, bubbly person in the summer, to a miserable and very depressed person in the winter. The problem is that I get quite sick as well and this results in me not being able to workout. Well, not anymore!

You see, my husband has had a very stressful winter. Having had a project deadline recently, I hadn't seen much of him and when I did conversation was minimal. So to make it up to me he has decided to take me away on holiday. The only catch is that last time we went on holiday to a sunny destination, I promised him that I wouldn't wear a bikini on that holiday but would definitely wear one on the next one. Now for any of you that know me, this is not good. I have less than a month to get fit enough to into a bikini! For those of you that don't know me, just picture Dawn French in a bikini and you've pretty much got the idea!

I've begged and pleaded but a promise is a promise. So because I can't get out of it, I have started a three week super diet which involves a lot of exercise and becoming good friends with starvation! It probably won't work and you'll most likely end up watching the news one day and hear about a beached whale found at the Crystal Cove Resort in Barbados and be horrified that you recognize me when the cameraman finally gets the courage to zoom in. I apologize in advanced. Let's just hope they don't show it during dinner time.

2007!

So we are in the new year and so far I haven't left my bed. Unfortunately, it's not what you think. I held one amazing new years party where I spent the evening with friends and family. I had such a good time that it actually restored my faith in this time of the year. After drinking and eating way too much, I finally crashed around 5am and woke up in pain. Nope not a hang over, worse, I am sick yet again!

I hope this isn't an omen for this new year. One of my new years resolutions is to lose weight but I'm really getting tired of losing weight in this method! It's true that I can eat whatever I want but its the way it comes out again that's starting to bug me a bit.

I apologize to those readers out there that have accidentally come across my blog and find themselves reading about my illnesses. You had no idea what you were getting yourselves into and for that I'm very sorry. For those who know me and have read my other posts...well, you brought that onto yourselves didn't you?

Anyway, I hope to be back at work soon but it's not looking good. Especially since it has taken me nearly an hour to write this post between bathroom breaks and nodding off!

Happy New Year to everyone out there and I wish you all a NORMAL and BORING year. Trust me, excitement is overrated!
