2013 was the year I stuck to my New Year's Resolutions for the first time ever. I did art, mostly badly. I fucked up my hair. I am now vegetarian for the first time since I was 17.
But it was a landmark year in a gazillion ways. I started going to gigs and found my motivation here...
...to finally do something about my hippopotamussyness. So far as I'm concerned Laurence did it, not me. I have loads of hideous photos of myself but none of them spurred me on to diet. If this didn't exist (and if he hadn't been such a sweetie that April night in Oxford) it wouldn't have happened. I closed 2013 having lost TWENTY PERCENT of my bodyweight. And it's been EASY. Taking the piss level easy! Literally I think about food, then I think about the next time I'll see Fearless Vampire Killers...and that's that!
So here we have Heggie circa August 2011 and January 2014
Size 24 to size 18
2014 should be a cool year. No FVK gigs to look forward to yet and I haven't had any time to paint as yet (stoopid uni course!) but I'm going to London to see All Time Low and to Glasgow to see Fall Out Boy next month which is gonna be all kinds of cool. Erin has her first uni acceptances through and stuff is finally happening y'know? Exciting times.
