Charity Case or PRINCESS?

Ok, I have the bestest friends in the world!! They must truly love me. Hard to believe this annoying thing about me. It frustrates me more so than anybody else. Well maybe my husband and 16year old son.

I dont drive a car. Anyways in the space of 2 days I have had friends come and pick me up from the other side of town to take me on outings then return me back to my front door. Whenever I go anywhere I'm the slosh who can have a wine or 2 and then returned home and put to bed. My friends have to do all the driving, also the other thing they are so much more time deprived than myself as they run a family and work away from the home as well. Today on our way home in my friends car who's aircon has died and is always unsure of when her wheels may break together with dropping my son off at his friends house then had to drive to the south side from north west. I have now come to the conclusion that YES I truly am a "Princess" as I could have saved her hours of time if I just met her in the City and caught the train. But no I am being a princess and dont want my hair to be sweaty by walking to the train and as for my friend she is truly a saint and very thoughtful.

Accessorise Me

OK, Lets just say I can stick to a diet for 1 day. Not too hard you would think? Well I struggle 24/7 with this issue. I am trying to think of things that will trigger my will power. I'm thinking reward not food but gifts to oneself. If I can go 1 week perhaps maybe a new hairbrush. Boring I know. The real me is truly thinking of my final reward after 30kgs lost and that would be to book a stylist for a complete makeover. I'm thinking the works like cupboard overhaul to match my body overhaul.Oh and a new mimco handbag with wallet would be nice. I thought I would start by doing my food shopping online. This way I avoid the coffee and cake and most likely a complete lunch as well.

This was not a success like all other diets I enter as spent too much time adding to shopping cart in the biscuit aisle. Maybe I should just show the world my most unflattering pic. The truth is I'm scared, I worry what people will think? Oh heavens do not want husband to know how much I weigh. Like he doesn't have an idea...?? Anyways I think the plan is baby steps for me. Like small goals instead of my fantasys of the end result. Like I'm going to look like Kate Winslet.

Anyways I know myself very well and in the meantime I will put my focus back into my other little addictions Ready to wear design accessories. Bags and Shoes.

Styling instead of Exercise

Back Again, I am not a morning person at all.
But I will get my body out of bed to do shopping at anytime.

This morning I am focused on styling my son for kindy. I cant style myself but a 3 year old busy boy to be styled for sure. No problem. I am focusing on the kindy bag. Looking at Penny Scallan in the navy star. I was showing my husband last night when he promptly said doesn't KMart do bags. I quickly responded "Not the plastic ones that are rain proof". The truth would really be not the one I want!!! This has got me thinking is it about the bag or is it me wanting to show that I do have style even if I look so not groomed.

Yes I am living my life through my sons. You can be rest assured that I will get the designer kindy bag and my excuse for this is that I need to walk my son to kindy and if it rains he will have his lunch and spare clothes protected.
