    Thanks ladies, have had a really bad day :mad:

    Was going out to meet friends tonight - and I couldn't even zip up my boots :eek: I have never been so fat, I am ashamed :o Went out (in shoes!) but I just wanted to hide. Am home now, ready to cry :o

    Aww, Shoe Gal, it's a horrible feeling, I haven't been able to wear my favourite boots for a couple of years as I can no longer do them up:rolleyes:. Remember a new year is just around the corner, so we can start all our target afresh.

    Remember that you are f fabulous:j

    Thanks :A

    I actually have nothing that fits me - and I am the heaviest I have ever been :o

    I worked out that my starting weight to my target weight is 50lbs:eek::eek::eek:. I never thought I was that overweight :eek: I have lost 11lbs but I still have 39 to go:eek:. So I understand that awful feeling but we are going to do it.

    I now need to lose just over 2 stone - 31lbs in total :eek: The 11lbs target in my signature is just the starting point - and I can't even do that :o

  • Right Shoe gal, there is nothing you can do about it right now. I too am the fattest I have ever been ever and I have decided that until after Christmas I am just going to damn well enjoy myself when ever I can. (Fri, Mulled wine PJ's double episode of Medium) (sat, shopping and sun tidying in a non work related way)

    its a grim feeling - I had to buy special boots with wide legs:o but I am going to make a list (once work has finished) of all the problems I am going to solve next year and work on each "problem" per month trying to build new habits to help, little things. I have managed a couple this year (getting my clothes ready, always taking my make up off - was terrible) and I must stopping thinking I can fix everything all at once with some big complicated plan, I think it might be sinking in...........s l o w l y.

    I am so impressed you have painted your hall and making your house all nice, you do lots of good things and have made a good life for yourself please don't forget your achievements xx

    BIG Hugs xxxxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    ((((hugs)))) Shoegal.

    I was the fattest I have ever been by a mile and nothing in my wardrobe fitted up to a couple of months ago, and I still have two stone to go. :o We are coming up to the most boring yet motivating month of the year, so start planning HOW you are going to get fit healthy and even more F fabulous in 2010! :j

    For me I try to not even buy junk food, cook great batches of hearty soups/ slow cooker stews/ anything with loads of pulses or veg in. I will willingly eat the same thing several days in a row so there isn't much cooking required, and it's cheaper than ready meals, vending machines, takeaways and sarnie shops. :money:

    God I'm tiny short but my little belly is huge (wibble wobble). Luckily I have fabulous self esteem but start the new job on Thursday and dont want to have to go a size up because my boobs and belly are too massive to fit in anything! Wont whinge but will have a flat stomach (at some point) in 2010. Wibbly wobble X
