Wednesday Swimsuit shopping Keeps Me Keen
Part of the reason I ate so little today is that I started the day swimsuit shopping. Dear oh dear, what a depressing task! Some shops’ dressing room mirrors are better than others. Marks and Sparks had lovely mood lighting and enough room to stand away from the mirror. Next’s dressing room was about 4 x4 feet and the mirror made my skin look like that of an uncooked chicken who hasn’t been plucked properly. My dear little daughter kept saying “But Mummy, you look beautiful in that bikini” as I tried on costume after costume…

I’m amazed that more clothes shops haven’t figured out if they don’t install flattering fittings into their changing rooms, many women will be put off. I’ve had this experience myself like you, much prefer the roomier, nicely lit M&S.
I thought it funny how the food you’re eating has gone from slightly exotic to pasties! :-)

Wow, that’s really low – but I can see how swimsuit shopping would help. :(
