Hi all hope you're all ok today.

It was back to my exercise classes for me tonight. I thought I'd get myself weighed at Boots today and then again once a month because you get a print out, so I can track my progress.

I am so shocked, some how I now weigh 11 stone 8 and I'm not happy. I can't understand it, I've been exercising regularly for nearly a year, and I've slimmed down quite a bit in that time. Yet some how I'm heavier than I was when I first started, and according to the print out I'm overweight. :mad:

I don't really look it though and I don't understand. I have a bit of excess weight still, but nothing like I did have and I certainly don't feel stone overweight.:A I was nine and a half stone once, now it seems impossible. I just can't understand it.

Guess its going to be a hard few months I feel enormous now, but I'm going to lose it.

Wasted £80 on a pair of boots I can barely afford to make myself feel better, but to be honest I feel worse having done that.

Sorry to moan, I'll have cheered up tomorrow I promise!

They're still painful, but as long as I don't put my full weight on them they're fine. I've found when I wear my running shoes it doesn't hurt at all, probably because they're supporting it.

Hope you're ok, sleep well

QWB-when are you thinking of going? I went to Prague this time last year and it was beautiful with all the snow and lovely architecture. But you're probably looking for somewhere more sunny as the weather here is pretty cold!
I love the man flu thing, got to show that to OH!

Sounds like the CAB thing is working out well for you Juno. Its a good experience and thats something you need out there. As retail and customer service are the only things I've done since I left college, they're the only things I can get jobs in. And I hate those kind of jobs! :rotfl:

No still no bruising but its a combination of aching and numbness. I was hoping for one so I could show off my "wounds"! I'm just keeping it wrapped up and getting on with it.

I just feel with the weight thing I've been so good recently, yet I'm still heading the wrong way. This time last year I got the contraceptive implant put in and thats when all the weight started piling on. I had it removed in June, so why am I still carrying the weight. :mad:

That's why I'm doing it. Whenever I apply for jobs or put my CV anywhere I just get offered call centre work - and I don't wanna do call centre work! I've seen loads of admin/office jobs advertised and that's more what I want to do, but they all say you need experience. So now I'm getting experience

And I'll get training! They might even pay for me to do qualifications. I currently have CLAIT but it was old CLAIT and everywhere wants ECDL anyway, and a City And Guilds one that no one has ever heard of.

The only thing I am worried about is that I am showing a lot of the signs of going into hypomania. My old psych mentioned I might be bipolar and wanted to put me on mood stabilisers, and I have had some episodes which could be in the past. I know I've said on here I definitely am bipolar because I feel it fits but I'm not sure if I have an official diagnosis yet.
