Slimming world weigh-in day:
-1lbs
Total lost 16lbs
I was very surprised to win slimmer of the month for January.
This week has been tough. I've had diet fatigue and low mood, but I stuck to the plan anyway. I think weight loss will slow down now, especially as I'm weightlifting every day. I love it right now as I can see lots of gains.
Slow and steady wins the race.

Clearing out last year’s blackberries from the freezer before the new ones come in! I cooked 100g of blackberries with porridge oats this morning. It was delicious and only 1 Syn per 100g of cooked blackberries on the Slimming World plan, and 1 healthy b for the oats. Think I used too many berries, but tasted great,

Okay, guys, I’ve finally done it: I upgraded my site. I could have dropped the WordPress.com hindrance altogether and just gone for my own hosting but, alas, I’ve used this blog on this platform for so long that I may as well just make it a little snazzier.That said, this means that Mister Pick will have to…

I’m sat here with baby asleep on me. Snoring away because she’s not been feeling well and I’m bloody exhausted because of it. What happens when you’re tired? You over think. I’m so tempted to order a deliveroo, I deserve it, baby needs me close so I can’t manage a long cooking session and I fancy a treat. That’s ok? Right? Wrong.
For the last 7 months as baby has been getting bigger, so have I! It was fine at first. Breastfeeding meant I lost weight easily. Baby had my calories and the weight dropped off. However when she was 6 weeks old, she was so poorly and had to go to hospital. After that, she would only have breast from express. So my magic weight loss cure had vanished.
My friend is currently breast feeding and has lost over 3 stone. She looks amazing. I look like a round, floppy mess. My belly sticks out, even when I’m sucking it in! I’ve recently bought new knickers and bras in the biggest size I have ever bought just so they will fit. It’s so frustrating. I’m the worst shape I’ve ever been in and I can’t just run to the gym anymore because I have baby.
My partner seems to love me whatever size I am….. I think. I mean he may just be putting up with me because of baby. I don’t love me right now, so why on earth would anyone else love this? My baby loves me though and I want to be the best mum for her. Running after her and dancing with her without getting out of breath.
The doctor has now referred me to slimming world. On Saturday I begin. I’ve done it may times before, but maybe this time I can stick with it. It does give great results, it just needs focus. It needs me to want it. And I really really really do want it. I want to lose 10 stone. So if you’re ready to embark on this journey with me. Then hey…. Sit down, get comfy, get ready - it’s going to be a long one.

The thing about stobin is that they only work as well as they do because Robin was originally supposed to be Steve’s love interest, rather than in spite of it.
Like, what do we love about them?
They’re each other’s best friend
They’re incredibly co-dependent
They can basically read each other’s minds
They’re together so often that you can essentially treat them as one entity
They have genuine moments of emotion
These are all things that are par for the course when it comes to writing romantic relationships. You see it with Jon and Nancy (though not quite to the same level, they don’t have the Stobin Mind Meld) where they’re also each other’s best and only friend, and they also do almost everything together, and most of their genuine moments of emotion are with each other or with family.
Stobin don’t have any family or friends, because Steve’s family just doesn’t exist for some reason, and Robin was introduced to fill his empty friend slot after the stoncy divorce. Robin doesn’t have any either, because why would they flesh out a backstory for Steve’s New Girlfriend when they need to spend all their screentime establishing a believable romance?
So what we end up with is the bones of a romance that they have to hastily cover with the skin of a friendship, and they’ve already laid all that groundwork so they can’t exactly start backpedaling now.
That’s why stobin are mostly comic relief when they’re allowed to be together in s4 btw, they genuinely don’t know what to do with them now bc they didn’t intend for their relationship to be platonic (surely there’s no interesting room for growth in a close platonic relationship, that would be silly). Steve still doesn’t have a love interest, which is catastrophic for a fan favourite main character (bc amatonormativity dictates that being single is a Bad Ending and they can’t give him a Bad Ending, he can’t be punished by the narrative when he’s supposed to be finished his redemption arc) which is why he was shoehorned back with Nancy (bc they didn’t have the space to add another character just to be his love interest). (Robin gets a hint of Vickie bc denying their only explicitly canon gay character a ‘happy ending’ (read: romantic relationship) is also Very Bad, both narratively and optics-wise)
Basically, if they’d started out with the intention of making Robin Steve’s friend rather than his girlfriend, well, for one she wouldn’t exist. But secondly they’d be a lot less close than they are now. They’d be more like what we see in s4: a comedy duo, except without the same level of emotion and intimacy behind all their interactions. They literally wouldn’t have been allowed to get that close, because the number one spot in Steve’s life would’ve been reserved for his girlfriend, because again: amatonormativity dictates your romantic partner is your first priority and your most important relationship. Robin got that spot through a miracle and some gay trickery, and I for one will always be grateful.
I’m probably not the first person to mention any of this, but I’ve been thinking a lot about platonic relationships in media recently, and a lot about stobin specifically. It’s kind of sad that one of the best examples of a close platonic relationship I can think of is just a romantic relationship in a wig, but I’ll take what I can get (and god I love them anyway).

Haircut
...If Yuzuki shows up on set for BoonBoom v KingOh next year looking even more gender, I think all the Rita and Yuzuyan stans will die.
Myself included.
Doesn't help that I know for certain that Rita is probably the type to cut their own hair when exhausted and stressed which is why they even have short hair during the timeskip.
HimeMorf working overtime to help Rita clean it up and help with upkeep 😂😂
