No weigh-in last week due to my road trip, so my fourth trip to the scales was this evening. I wore my fat club outfit and I have lost one more pound. One pound in two weeks could be considered pathetic but it brings the total to half a stone in four weeks and that’s … Continue reading Half a stone and a sticker
My father, who had a very active job had a policy for down time; don’t stand if you can sit, don’t sit if you can lie down. He could make a pavement look as comfy as a feather bed and I learnt this lesson well. Some years ago, sitting on a bench, not standing, while … Continue reading My unholy trinity of weight gain
I'm heading off on a road trip next week. Travel broadens the mind they say. I love Paris But what does Moulin Rouge mean? ......and why is there a red windmill on the roof?
This is me with Marmalade Tart, she has no time for foods that take more calories to digest than they contain.
After much deliberation and a momentary lack of confidence I went to the gym last night in the ultimate low vis outfit, or what some might describe as a full ninja ensemble, black from neck to toe. During my first gym session in fourteen years I learnt three things, truths you might say: 1) Comparatively … Continue reading Three truths
I had my second weigh in tonight and I’m another two pounds down. I’m delighted as I really wasn’t sure I would be. Last night I did debate which weight outfit was most helpful to me. I decided I wasn’t confident enough to go heavy weight but I didn’t think I needed to go braless … Continue reading On buying gym kit
My late father once said, ‘Fat Tart, you’d laugh if your granny’s ass was on fire’. I have to admit that the thought did make me titter, but take it from me, had my granny’s ass actually have been on fire I would have done my best to extinguish it, although I couldn’t guarantee that … Continue reading Under bust crumbage
Use more calories that you consume, ok. Eat less and exercise more, yep, got that. So why is it so damn difficult to lose weight? I don’t have the answer obviously, that was a genuine desperate question. I’m hoping that I have the right attitude for my name to become ironic rather than descriptive, sooner … Continue reading Dieting is simple but it isn’t easy
The woman top right is carrying a clutch bag, not a pasty.
I'm not sure you want to know this, and I'm pretty sure this isn't diet related but since I'm now 'sharing' in ways hitherto unknown, I find I can't stop myself and the World Cup is on, husband is watching avidly, so what else have I got to do? Overnight a tender area developed on … Continue reading It’s enormous!
My husband had to leave for work at 5am today. He tries to be quiet but at that time in the morning even applying roll-on deodorant is loud. Try as I might I couldn't go back to sleep. I've categorised Fat Tart as a diet blog, so in a spirit of comraderie I thought I'd … Continue reading If weight loss is a journey, where am I going?
I had my first weigh-in this evening and the good news is I've lost 4 lbs, only 52 more to go. Anyhow, looking into that long dark tunnel with a pin point of light at the end of it aside, I've had a good day if a little odd to begin with. As a general … Continue reading Bras weigh more than you’d expect
That's a pasty, not a clutch bag in my left hand That's a sandwich, not a clutch bag in my right hand I'm wearing my favourite dress, it's an homage to Hattie Jaques I love red shoes, possibly more that pasties
I think it was Newton who said words to the effect that for every action there is an equal and oposite reaction. I apply this to what I 'know' about fat, it relieves me momentarily, on a level I know not to be true, of responsibility for my own weight gains. So here is my … Continue reading Fat transference; I’m pretty sure it’s a thing
Hello, my name is Fat Tart although no one except my sister has ever called me a fat tart, to my face at least. I might have named myself Fat Twat but I like the image Tart brings to mind, pastry, sugared fruit etc so Fat Tart it is. I've recently discovered that I'm running … Continue reading Hello
