About

This blog came about to try and help me lose weight. In April 2009 a package arrived from ASOS.com it contained THE belt. The belt is a wide, leather waist belt by Ted Baker. Bought in a m/l when it was reduced from £60 to £16. I was 17 stone back then.

The belt looked awful. I put a vow to lose weight and look fabulous in the Ted Baker belt forth to the world. This blog is a culmination of those efforts paired with a love for fashion, makeup and style.

I’m a writer, geek, F1 lover and overdresser. I love photography, working out, eating and dancing.

Although the weight loss goal is looking nearer and nearer each week the blog will continue even after the target has been reached. I am currently working with a personal trainer, doing Insanity, counting calories and generally trying to make my life more healthy.

You’ll be pleased to know that the belt is now too big.

    hey jet,
    i think your blog is quite awesome! i can identify myself with you. i’m kind of small and i don’t have the ‘perfect body’ – well, i’m just kind of curvy, like you. i always compare myself to thin girls and i get depressed, too. but just like everyone said: i can be anyone if i just want to :D
    and on top of that, i also love fashion, photography, pirates and the 50′s! i already designed my own skirt i the style of the 50′s ~
    like your blog and your way of seeing things.
    greetings from germany.

    Hi Jet – love your blog, may i suggest though that on your about me page, you remove the part about trying to lose weight? its the second sentence and i feel we all need to try harder to stop seeing women as one dimensional, designers/models led, “must be thin to succeed” wannabees and instead start embracing what we do have and do do well without the industry stereotyping! just a suggestion… keep up the brilliant blogging!!

    I completely agree with you but this is partly a weight loss blog. I started it because I knew I wanted to get healthier and telling people about it seemed to help. It’s transformed a bit over the years to a fashion and style blog. I could write for ages why I agree with you though. And my bio does need a bit of an update.

    Thanks for stopping by!
