Release the mermaid
 

HELP!! My inner mermaid has been swallowed by a whale. Instead of swimming happily in the waves she is now hiding under layers of blubber unable to free herself.

My belly now sticks out further than my boobs and I can feel the fat at the back of my knees wobble when I walk. I can't see any jawline let alone my cheekbones and found the hint of fat roll mid neck.

Sweet stuff gives me a moment of happiness I can't resit and years of regret I've come to accept. Chunky but happy at 12 stone I now need to lose 3 stone to get close.

Day 1 tomorrow, wish me luck

Welcome to our little pond, Mermaid!

We can hear you...just listen for our voices (our joyful shrieks of success and groans of agony), to guide you to shore.

remember to Just Keep Swimming.

('cause there's a bigger whale right behind you!)

For one, I love your writing. I know so many people think humor is a way to hide but I think there's a fine line...and sometimes its better to laugh and have a little humility then to cry. Get your mermaid on, girl!
