    Hi

    Have done Ok foodwise - but not managed any exercise :o

    Feeling quite down, work is a bit rubbish and I have that 'what am I doing with my life, is this it' kind of feeling :mad:

    Humph to all this I am a rubbish/fat person & my life has no meaning or purpose type thinking :naughty:

    Looks like I escaped from the lure of the bottom of the barrel just in time :eek:

    1) You are truly F Fabulous :A

    2) Life is tough sometimes & nobody, I repeat NOBODY can stay motivated without any treats all the time :rolleyes:

    3) Doing this on your own is super tough so therefore you are doubly fabulous.

    4) Lulas Karmic Law states that you deserve some treats for all of the above.

    Now, give yourself a big hug, look in the mirror, breathe in, raise your chin & say out loud "F*** Off, I'm Fabulous :D

    love & hugs to you hon

    Lula

    That's what this place is all about, dragging eachother out of the depths of despair :D

    And as for over spending ... between you & me :shhh: I have spent £280 on my new shiny CC + £200 cash since sunday. And I have yet to whack another £70 on the CC this weekend :rotfl: < yes, that is hysterical laughter.

    To make matters worse I have not a single drop of alchocohol ( alcohol &/or chocolate :() in the house, as after my disastrous date on saturday I came home & finally succumbed to the small bottle of absinth that was left there by xbf for emergencies ... never thought I'd be grateful for that :rolleyes:

    Hi everybody

    Had an OK week, lost 3lbs but not managed any exercise :o

    Work has been very mixed, have enjoyed some stuff but not sure how things are going to be in the future. I would like to make progress but I'm not sure I will be able to in my current role - but am not confident that I would be able to find something else :confused:

    First day of my 5 days off today, had a lovely time this morning visiting a friend but haven't done much else. Going to use the next few days for some serious dieting, exercising and general sorting :D

    Hi ShoeGal

    Just noticed you'd updated your diary. Good going with the dieting! That's brilliant. I wish I could lose 3lbs without exercising. I think I'm doing well if I don't put on weight without exercising!

    About the job thing, can you sign up to get job alerts with an appropriate website? I've been doing that for a while and there hasn't been anything suitable, but now quite a few are popping up and I'm applying for them. I can't see me going any further in my current role so I figure I've got nothing to lose.

    Enjoy your time off work!

    Gwenx
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Thanks Gwen, that's a good idea. It won't do any harm to know what's out there :D

    No, it won't. That's why I did it. Then stuff started appearing that was suitable and I got a bit scared, but I've pulled my finger out and applied for stuff. It's a nice feeling, exploring other options.

    Been on the Next sale site - and they hardly had anything left! DFW by default :D All I managed to get was an underwear set - only £12 spent and a need rather than a want :rolleyes:

    Dragging myself off the sofa now - need to try to be productive today :p
