You might have both Dreamer, changing your diet will not hurt and WILL help! so start making gradual changes, get them to check your thyroid again (I have low thyroid and once I was on tablets I started being able to lose weight at long last! :eek:)

Yes, I could well have both....I couldn't get an Appointment at my Doctor's for the Test for Thyroid deficiency until 4th January unfortunately....so will have to wait until then...

I started my Diet with Slimming World yesterday....and so far I've stuck to it.... :T :T :T :T Okay Okay so it's only 24 hours but still, it's still an achievement as far as I'm concerned

Well, I have started Work for the Night for the first time all week...and I'm determined to Work hard this Weekend so I can afford a few extra's next Week just before Christmas....

I'm feeling a bit more positive now....especially since I know that once Wednesday is over and done with I can look forward to Christmas....and the Gastroscopy/Colonoscopy can't be THAT bad...that's my reasoning any and I'm sticking with that!!

Hope everything is still going well (need to write in my diary/blog as well )

Hi Helen, sorry not been around much. Not been well and been super busy with work stuff.

Well done on sticking with your new diet! :T It's hard work but the benefits will far outweigh that.

Sorry to hear you've been struggling but glad to see your more positive side is shining through still and looking forward to your 2012 challenges. Be sure to post them!

I'm putting together a 101 list in 1001 days on Day Zero. I'm using it to try to make more time in my life for the fun stuff that I never get round to doing as I tend to be far too work, work, work. Maybe something that would work for you too?

Have a great Christmas and New Year. I'm sure you will make 2012 your year! xxx

So yesterday I had my Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy... :eek:

The Gastroscopy was AWFUL!!!!! They shoved this Tube down my Throat and told me to swallow....they were very nice but it just hurt, and my Throat is still hurting today....but I'm sure i'll get over that.

The Colonoscopy was an absolute BREEZE!!! YAY!!! :T Which was good because that was the one that took time so if it had been painful I'm not sure how I would have managed....

The Results told me that I have piles (which I knew about!! LoL)....but they also told me that I have a Hiatus Hernia....which isn't a really big deal unless it starts to bother me, which at the moment it's not...but it could do if I don't lose weight...which I'm trying to at the moment!!

I feel incredibly GUILTY because I spent the last Week dieting and I have done really well but the night before my Weigh-In I go and pig out!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: I've got no one to blame but myself and I just have to hope that the Work that I did during the rest of the Week will be enough.....I'll Report back later on!!

I'm still thinking and wondering about Challenges for next Year and aims for next Year and Goals....I have some in mind but haven't quite got them cemented in my mind....when they are I will post them up and keep you updated on them.

So, first weigh-in today....then Therapy later on...then my Placement tomorrow afternoon...THEN IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!! :T :T :T

I feel that all the stuff I've had to deal with in December has been hanging over me and I haven't been able to look forward to Christmas....but now I CAN look forward to it...and I am!!

Catch up with you soon, Love and Hugs, Helen xxx

Urk to the medical procedures but everything else sounds good!

So I went to get Weighed Yesterday...and I lost....

Wait for it....

4 POUNDS!!!! :T :T :T

Actually I was hoping for a little bit more but I'm going to take that 4 Pounds and run with it!! :T

So today I've got an Interview with another Chatline....I decided that it would be beneficial to have a Back-Up Chatline so that I can swap between the two....so that's good....and I'm not sure how that's going to go...but I'll let you all know later on this Weekend...

I'm also on Placement this Afternoon for the First time in about a month...so I'm both looking forward to it and feeling nervous....NOT NOT NOT looking forward to the Journey home from Piccadilly Circus in Rush-Hour 2 Days before Christmas...but never mind... :rotfl:

Got to go Shopping tonight....Am spending Christmas at Mum's but still need some Food for ME over the next Week or so...So that should be fun, again, 2 days before Christmas....at a really big Tesco's!! LoL....Joy!!! :rotfl:

And this morning I'm just chilling out....I may do some Work on my Goals for 2012....And some Work on my Budget for next Year...

Anyway....things looking really really positive... :T

Love and Hugs, Helen xxx
