Brown Belt

This weight-loss malarkey is a slow process, especially since I have so far evaded
ellefurtle suggestion that I actually stand on the scales and weigh myself. It was depressing last time I did it and I expect it will still be so, so I can’t see why I should upset myself with tonnage in numbers.
I have decided that I shall measure progress in belt notches. I understand that it takes time for the pounds to show up in this way, but I am prepared to wait for a few months. As it is, over the past few months, I have been alternating between notches on my belt; sometimes it has been a little looser, sometimes a little tighter. The past few days it has settled down to the tighter –by which I mean I have taken the belt in a notch – setting, except that it doesn’t feel tight any more. If I use the other old favourite, it feels as though I am in danger of my trollies falling down and until I land that plum role in a Brian Rix farce, I don’t fancy that happening, thank you very much.
Anyway, slow it may be, but I feel that I have lost a few ounces. I shall weigh myself when I achieve the next notch.
