Perhaps it was the velvet trousers!

Further to my mid-January post, I did WeightWatchers religiously through January, then tried my velvet trousers on again.

I could do them up... but only just.

This despite eating carefully, walking about 2 hours a day with a heavy rucksack, and feeling fitter and healthier than I've done in years.

Something doesn't add up, says the accountant.

So I tried on just about the tightest-fitting garment I own, the skirt of a bridesmaid's dress... and lo and behold it fitted just fine.

I think the velvet trousers must have shrunk in the wash :-)
