Feeling horrible and I have an interview next week for the first time in years and I feel like they're just going to take one look at me and say "Nope!" because of my weight. Even the thoughts of having to go and buy myself "interview clothes" is killing me. Sorry for the moan. Feeling stupidly sorry for myself today.

Anyone who's had a cat fall asleep in their lap know's that's a considerable amount of weight to have lost, so don't downplay it! Wishing you the best of luck with your interview, and with the clothes shopping (which I know from experience can be just as daunting!) - if you can, bring someone you trust to help you find something you feel confident in, or try a personal shopper service (you can do this in Debenhams and I'm sure it's available in other places too). The more confident you feel, the better you will come across at interview, so focus on what you can bring to the job and you'll be able to convince them too Hope you're feeling better, the only way is up!

I can't recommend measuring yourself enough - it can be a real boost on weeks when you might have smaller losses, maintains or gains, to be able to see a loss in terms of inches even if it doesn't always show on the scales. When I started I measured my neck, shoulders, my chest (under the arms and at the bra line), my tummy at the navel, thighs, ankles and wrists. Even in the first few weeks it was amazing to see the difference on the measuring tape Oh yeah and SW chips are the biz
