No idea why anyone would think of this, but it goes without saying really that it is something I would definitely do!
I have been trying to lose weight for a good 2 years now. I am doing quite well, I've lost more than I have left to lose so that's a positive! But it is an incredible struggle to be perfectly honest with you & that is why the Weight Watchers blog is there to help me through the tough days.
This one will be more for the general inner workings of The Not So Skinny Minnie plus any strange and wonderful little ditties I want to get off of my chest! There may be a mention or two of wedding planning over the next 3.5 months as I get married in just under 4 months time! So can definitely imagine a few stressful moments over the coming weeks!
This will be my place of sanctuary & my place of venting!
Now, considering I am getting married in just under 4 months, on that day I will of course take my partners name. Its the 'traditional' thing to do and despite there not being much tradition around this wedding, I can uphold the odd custom!
Currently, my initials read LRG. On the 26 May 2013 they will become LRD.
You are probably thinking yes well done Lou, that's great, but what's your point? Well pretend you are playing the car number plate game, where you read the initials not as the letter L, the letter R and the letter G. You read them as a word. Go on.
LRG = Large
LRD = Lard
Point? Well, just goes to show that I am always going to be overshadowed by the weight topic! This doesn't bother me, but does make me giggle!
It also makes me giggle, that I would actually think of something like this. Nobody in their right mind would!
Many question my future husband's mental and psychological state to be perfectly honest. My mother has even suggested spending some of the wedding budget on psychological testing to make sure he is in the 'right frame' of mind when considering a lifetime with me!
So I go from being Miss LRG to Mrs LRD. Yes Mrs Lard.
I am no longer Miss Large (in the physical sense) and will become Mrs Lard.
Lucky me!
Actually I am rather lucky.
*cue mushy moment*
My partner is my rock, my world, a great support and an amazing person.
He is always there for me with open arms to celebrate or commiserate my weekly weigh in's. Always texting me 10 minutes before I get weighed wishing me good luck & to remember that no matter what the scales say this week that he is extremely proud of me & loves me very much.
For that I will be eternally grateful as I could not have come this far without him! I am also very lucky in the sense that if he does have some sort of psychological impairment that come 26 May 2013 there isn't anything he can do about it!! I'm his. He is in fact, stuck with me!!
Stuck with the lump of lard!!
So yes I will become Mrs Lard, and we will live happily ever after!
