And the award for most shameless self promoter goes to...

... ME! It was the Bauer Awards last night, which is when all the magazines in the company have a big piss-up at Grosvenor House, pretend they're not bothered about winning anything and boo loudly when love rats go up on stage to collect awards (LONG story...). I got shortlisted in the Rising Star category and had a brilliant evening. I had a bit of a revelation beforehand - I'd been worrying for days about what to wear, and I only realised on the day itself that I hadn't given a second thought to the fact that this would be the biggest, most formal eating/drinking situation I'd been in since starting the diet. But once again, everyone else was much more bothered about it than I was, constantly asking if I was OK, etc. Luckily I had a greedy boy to eat my food, and plenty of thirsty workmates to drink my share of the alcohol. So selfless of them. Anyway, this blog's been absent from photos for a while which seems silly as, really, who wants to read about weight loss unless there are photos? So, here's a picture of me last night in my new size 14 Oasis dress, alongside a picture of me from the same awards a year ago, looking drunk and hideous in a size 18 dress...

BLOODY HELL
Seeing those two pictures together really is quite astounding. I'd forgotten what you used to look like...I'm so used to the new foxy, bobbed-haired Isabel (not that you weren't foxy before, um, you know what I mean)now. You look aces.

Fellow Lady Blogger

Our mutual former colleague, Ms Jenny Dickinson, told me about your blog over a power lunch last week.

Now let me supplement my comments in the lift (or was it the kitchen) about how OMG amazing you look by saying that now I love your blog too, and have added it to my blogroll (I believe that's what the people who know about this kind of thing call it).

Warmest regards

Miss Jones x
