this is gorgeous.

Beautiful.

So pretty and honest

It is scary finally seeing how much harm you did to yourself in the drawback…

My measurements showed it clearly (well my clothes were hinting at this but still):

                     MEASUREMENTS 

         August 2012     October 2012        May 2013

Waist     107cm               93cm                 102cm

Hips       140cm             131.7cm              136cm

Bust       110cm              108cm                112cm (not bad really LOL)

Arm         43cm               36.5cm              39cm

Thigh       85cm               76.5cm              83cm

Knee        58cm               51cm                 58cm

Calf         51cm               45.5cm               49cm

So, basically I am a FUCKING MORON. I worked my ass off (literally) and I fucked it up. Why - because I don’t have enough will power - that’s why. And because of a person (my boss) who actually kinda fired me, just because… WTF, me? 

It is ridiculous… I don’t have an excuse for that. 

I’m off  to grab an apple and I’m going out cycling. Fucking (fat) hell…

(and my bloody back is killing me, because of the weight) - shit, man…
