Fitter, happier, more productive: a thread for untamed positivity

21:53 / 19.06.03

This is a damn sight more mundane and boring than my usual Barbelith posts, but dammit, I feel like saying it, so I fucking will:

I've lost seventeen pounds! I can fit into my old jeans again! And my 1960s Pierre Cardin dinner jacket! I can run properly again! I can climb the stairs at Haymarket Metro without thinking I'm gonna have a fucking heart attack! My man-breasts have vanished! My muscles are coming back! My energy levels are astonishing, and I have the sex drive of a fucking ten-foot-tall vampire rabbit! I feel great! And I look like sex on a stick! And I have a gig in two weeks time! And I'm going to a ball 2moro! Hurrah!

Right, that's my big happy for the day. Now stick yours in below (oh, and feel free to compliment me on my return to top form, too):

Well done velvet!

I have managed to lose three stone in just over a year and I have managed to keep it off as well, so I'm treating myself to some new threads.

I'm bigging up myself 'cos I've realised what cool,loyal and supportive friends I have. One friendship in particular has amazed me...never thought I could be friends with this person because I fancied the arse off them, and after a tricky time I've turned the corner and we have established a bond way deeper than any lust-fuelled fling could have done, and I'm thankful for that, and proud that at no point did I succumb to the urge to indulge in self-pity and drunken angry 4am phone calls.

My niece and nephew love me to bits, my job is ok, I have money to spend and several people fancy me at the moment - life is sweet indeed.

So big yay for me.

Not sure if it's the point of this thread, but I'm going on holidays for 2 weeks and am going to glastonbury on Wednesday!
Fuck Yea!

I need a party and it's on the way!

Plus I've stopped being a slob and an running 12K a week again.
