    Don't let an unflattering reflection get you down - we all have those moments! For me it's usually when I see photos :o

    Its not so much it got me down its more, !!!! is that what I look like? huge shock. For ages (about 2 years) I have been saying need to lose weight but not actually admitting really that I actually do. Previously for example I went to WW and lost a stone, it was all I needed to lose to feel better and after that the sense of urgency went and I went back to my old habits

    I hang out on threads that are about weight loss and pay lip service to it all but still pile on the weight (and believe me I can see the piles) cos I don't change anything.

    This is more like the scales have fallen from my eyes type thing........

    I understand! I have been 'dieting' for several years and now weigh more than when I started :o I have all the books, magazines etc, know what I need to do - but just don't!

    Started yet another diet on Friday - maybe this will be the one! :p

    One step at a time my dear, like Taxi did, get your health issues diagnosed first, then look at the rest.

    Cheers Pooky,
    I have to have blood tests so have made a further appointment in about 3 weeks so I can discuss the results. She didn't say much. Just about stress, work load.

    I am have a right old time of it at moment re work. So much for the holiday. I have to go in tomorrow. I guess I still have Thursday and Friday. I did buy some gardening stuff today which is cool.

    I also need to sort out the stress.........
