Was a gain of 4.5lbs! She suspected it wasn't going to be a joyful occasion (stepping on to the scales) but even she, who knew what had gone down her gullet, was shocked at that amount, so, too, was Katy!
Who made her tell the group exactly what sort of naughty things she had eaten.. "a piece of baklava, LOTS of cheese, several pieces of nougat, a Lebanese wrap full of cheese, onions and spinach, LOTS of different sorts of nuts, three slices of panetone, several pieces of turkish delight, several mugs of hot chocolate, LOTS of full fat milk, a small tub of labneh, lots of olives in oil, a lot of olive oil, lamb chops with the fat, streaky bacon, I can't remember anything else.. thank goodness".
There was a hushed silence.. whilst the group pondered on the list of things that, luckily for them, they had NOT consumed. Only one other person had gained but that was only 1.5lbs.. everyone else had lost, even as little as 8ozs, which is half a lb, is still a loss and they all felt fortunate that they had not been led astray by their nose or their greed.
One lovely woman sitting beside her said "Where have you been to eat and buy such things" and she explained about the trip to Uxbridge Road and Nutcase etc", the woman laughed and said "oh, I know those shops only too well, for I AM Lebanese and live about three minutes walk from Nutcase".
"It is very hard to avoid that food when your family or friends are from that part of the world, we are Christian Lebanese but still.. oh dear, the food".. and the two of them commiserated together. They compared notes and it transpired that she is exactly the weight that mama was when she started nearly seven months ago.
So she'll be back on the routine.. as she is now over 10 stone.. yes, she's 10.2 again. BORING.. for she was, last Monday, down to 9.11.5.. meanwhile, Pat, who had eaten 'sensibly' had lost another lb and has now lost 45 lbs and is looking more wonderful each week!
Doesn't look gaunt or drawn, she 'complained' about her shoes being too wide and that her pants are too big! That got the back row giggling like the naughty girls they really are!
Hey ho.. fiddle-dee-dee.. if it was warmer, she'd venture out more but it's chillybilly and she's not of the mood to prance off round the park, but she'll wire her mouth shut tomorrow.. for Myra has telephoned and invited her to tea. She sounds much better 'but is starved of human laughter, please come for tea and a chat tomorrow", so tea will slip through the wired up mouth but no goodies, well, maybe one.
GeeGee Parrot.
