Slender

My sore-knee travails made me determined to lose weight.  The surgeon said that losing 25 kgs was often as good as having a knee replacement op.

Well, I've lost 3.2 kgs (7 lbs) since I went to see him, and I now weigh the lowest since 2007!   Only another 22 kgs to go!

It was in 2007 my life went pear-shaped and I started to eat and drink because I was so very unhappy.  I learnt who were my real friends.  And who weren't.  And frequent bouts of depression meant that the struggle to lose weight has been ongoing and often unavailing.

But at last, I am heading back towards slimness.  Oh frabjous day!

I've just uploaded it here.

Here's one of my drawings to go with it.

Another of my sketches.

Self portrait

Another sketch (pencil and pen) drawn tonight at drawing class.  A self-portrait.  I drew what I saw, but I'm not sure it's me.  My lady reckons it makes me look too gaunt and sad, but, well, that's what I saw.  My son (they both draw extremely well) also said it looks like me, but it also doesn't look like me, but he agrees on the psychological effect.  Curious.  One's character coming out in the drawing.  This is fun!
