Mowing or moaning?

Like a lot of other people I've been trying to shed a bit of excess weight by eating more healthy food - and less of it - and doing more exercise. I've always been quite large, statuesque is a kinder phrase. If you say you are 'big boned' everyone just falls about laughing as if it's the weakest and most feeble excuse in the world for being heavy...but when it's true it isn't funny! When you have been blessed with such a thing, the flesh hangs happily on it and you cart it around! I wouldn't mind so very much, I've been walking every day doing at least 3km and when I'm not doing that I'm swimming and I now regularly swim 2 miles a week! Which may not sound very much but feels like it! I've lost 2 stones in weight not by crash dieting but by lifestyle and dietary changes cutting out the bad stuff and doing more of the good. So I'm doing everything right....today I mowed the lawns in extra quick time because A) rain was threatening and B) I'm feeling fitter I think, but do you know what galls me more than anything? I've given up all those bad things and lost all that weight so far and nobody can tell!! They all say I look EXACTLY the same. Now either I am the world's leading cover up artist and dress brilliantly to conceal extra pounds (which I seriously doubt) or like I said at the start when you have a huge foundation you just don't seem to get any smaller! So I guess I'll just have to keep on mowing those lawns, swimming and walking until one day I turn sideways and disappear. This could take some time......
