Reasons to Diet #31 - Show off my piercing

Number 31:

Reason to Diet #31 is that I want to show off my belly piercing!! Yes, I finally got it done, so now I need the body to be able to show it off!!

I don't want it squished up and buried under clothes - I want it to sparkle in the sun.

Reasons to Diet #30 - I want to look good wet

Number 30:

Reasons to Diet #30 is that I want to look good wet.

Yep, no matter how much I can hold it in, patch it up and camouflage when it comes to getting in the water, all bets are off. I want to be able to get in that pool, dive in those waves, and come out looking good instead of coming out looking like I have narrowly avoided the harpoon!!

I want to be as glamourous soaking wet as when I am fully loaded with the war paint and spanx!!

Reasons to Diet #29 - I Want To Enjoy the Sunshine

Number 29:

Reason #29 to Diet is that I want to enjoy the sunshine not dread it.

It breaks down like this - the sun comes out, I panic. I have a desperate hunt through my wardrobe to find something I can be cool enough it whilst not looking like a hippo.

It gets on my nerves. I should be like "yay, sunshine, damn girl". Nope. It fills me full of fear.

This must change!

Reasons to Diet #28 - I want to be free to have a pint!

Number 28:

My next reason to diet - I want to be free to have a pint!!

Imagine its a lovely sunny day, and not being able to just go to the pub, sit in the beer garden and have a cold pint of lager. I used to do it a lot, but then I realised I was overweight and wanted to not be, so I stopped doing it to lose the weight.

The problem is that I spend most of damn summer trying to lose weight and I never get to have that pint!! So I want to stick to my diet, get to goal weight, and stay there.

Then I can have my pint in the sun!!

Reasons to Diet #27 - I will never get my ass in shape sitting on it!

Number 27:

Reason #27 to stick to the plan is simple - I will never get my ass in shape by sitting on it!!

What I am saying is that there is no point sitting around, bemoaning the fact that I am not at goal weight whilst spending my time sitting on my backside. If I want a banging body and to reach goal weight, I have to get up and move and work at it.

Sitting round, enjoying life is great, but it doesn't make for a bikini body!
