    Actually Sarah, post on here 5 things that you like about yourself. Even if it is 5 things that people on here have complemented you about and you agree with. Maybe we should all do it...just to remind us that we all have something to offer??????????????

    Thanks Buffy, I feel a lot better for writing it down. Have been doing some self indulgent crying for the last few days, so that will stop now. Anyway we said 2009 would be our year so it will be. I want it sorted by Christmas. I can't keep doing this every year. I want it done.

    Have found some nice pictures for my hair so just have to grow it out. I can't do anything about that except wait. Will cut the pics out to go on my vision board.

    I have just weighed myself and all the scoffing over the weekend means I have put on 3lbs. Hmm. Wrong direction. Will not cry. However, I will start again and stick to aiming for 1lb a week.

    I want to get 10% of my deposit and my ISA full by the end of the year, so I will keep plodding away with the penny pinching.

    I will put on here every day all the debt free, diet and general looking after myself things I do. Baby steps. icon7.gif

    Sarah I know its tough, I am going through the same emotions as you are at the moment but at least we are in the position to do something about it all. Keep your chin up and things can only get better.

    There is someone right out there for all of us and those that have been and gone are not worth wasting tears over, they are the ones that have lost out not us.

    Wow Sarah I hope you feel better after getting all of that off your chest!!

    I do feel better for getting it all down. Has just been a big shock this week to lose all my savings (even though they paid my debts), realise how fat I am and how unattractive and spend 2 consecutive days trapped in singleton nightmare.

    Hmmmmmm. It is all my own fault. I need to sort my skin, hair and weight. Not much then. I shall have to treat it as an improvement project and do a little bit every day, ie when you lose 1lb it is neither here nor there really, but if you do it 7 times you have lost half a stone, which is a noticable difference.

    Good on you Sarah, if you do little bits at a time like losing a 1lb a week you will soon notice the difference!

    Sometimes I wish I could magic a man up for all those do's and events in life when you could do with someone to keep you company!

    Over the weekend I did think about that and decided there was just no point to having someone like that, if you are going to watch couples being couple-y I actually think it would be worse for someone to be there with you, knowing that they weren't the right one for you.

    It would be handy to have someone for the horrible work functions where you can show your face for an hour or two and then escape though. God, I hate them.
