We're all experiencing the effects of Covid-19in different ways. One effect for me has been to lose weight, not I might add through illness.

Lockdown means no pub nights and as a result, and this is my theory, a lack of beer has both from a reduced calorie intake and not causing my stomach to stretch, reduced my appetite.

I'm just not as hungry, I'm eating smaller portions as I feel full quicker. Work trousers that were shall we say snug in the waist no longer are.

So last night I dug out a pencil skirt that had just become impossible for me to zip up. Not any longer and without the help of a corset, woohoo!

So the longer lockdown goes on hopefully the slimmer I'll get and I'll have a better figure once things get back to normal, new or otherwise.

Of course, the real trick is not reverting to my old ways and undoing all that I've lost.
