It's a long journey ahead

I've been doing some googling and measuring my head with a ruler and realised it will probably take me about one year to grow my dye out and let the silver (okay that's glamming it up a bit, lets just call it grey) grow in.

Wow, this is going to be a long, long journey. I will have to seriously investigate a headband type situation.

I am also on a post-baby weight loss exercise where I am aiming to loose 24 kilos to get back to my pre-baby weight. With mackay the weight melted off, probably due in a large part to stress but with olive it has stuck to my bones like superglue. I tried to be all zen with it and accept myself for who I am, but 24 kilos is a lot  to accept. My clothes weren't just a little tight I could't even get my fat jeans over my knee (true story) I had to do something or I feared i would be one of those morbidly obese woman who gets stuck on the toilet (this happens a lot in the UK and they have to call the fire service to get them off) So i joined weight watchers and now am trying my best to try to shift it. So far i am loosing about a kilo a week which is good progress and also doesn't interfere with my milk supply, so it keeps Olive happy too.

Do you know that Jamie has been the same weight since high school? he complains if he puts on 3 kilos, I tell him 3 kilos is the equivalent to a really big poo, also embarrassingly for most of our relationship his clothes have been too small for me, his waist is teeny, tiny and mine is not. I wonder if that's half my problem if Jamie was bigger it would make me feel smaller, it would definitely help the balance in photographs, i'll tell you that much.
