One stone before Christmas. my God that would be good.

I went out to dinner tonight, I won't go into the crap I ate but it was a restaurant near my school and it was full of my kids - who are lovely and all said hello etc, then during the evening I went to use the loo, and caught sight of myself in the mirror......................................................:eek: :eek: :eek:

I really did have tears in my eyes as I looked at the spare tyre and the badly fitting skirt, the sleeves that were too tight the ruched up top caught up over my sticky out bum the boobs that looked like they were going to escape. Honestly I Had NO IDEA I looked that bad. Truthfully we no longer have a full length mirror at home and I never see all of me. clearly this was why I was in so much denial.

and then I weighed myself when I got in tonihgt. oh God. nearly 13 stone and I am only 5.5 tall.

I am really very unhappy now. I didn't really know it had got this bad.

Buffy, I know everyone looks different as the weight sits differently with everyone but my mother is 5'4 and weighs about 13 stone and she looks fine honest. Yeah she wants to lose weight but I keep telling her there's no need, she honestly doesnt look bad at all. I guess it comes down to what you are comfortable with. If you arent happy then do something about it and stick to it (I know that sounds horribly harsh) but honestly its the only way. Everyone has setbacks but if you really want to succeed you will... look at Lucy!
and FTR I bet you don't look half as bad as you imagine.

OOO I just read my post God I do feel sorry for myself don't i!

well, I do think I look awful, so I am obviously going to have to do something about that.

pick a diet and stick to it.

have never managed it before. Will have to have a think. ugh.

Well after eating way too much at that ghost tour on Tuesday I weighed this morning and this week I managed to lose a kilo. I have no idea how or why but its gone just the same. I'm going to postulate that either I didnt eat as much as I thought, and then was really strict with myself the rest of the week, or, that the major kick of protein (primarily white chicken meat remember) kick started my metabolism and I burned it off plus more.
Anyway who cares why, its gone! YAY. Nearly half way there, only 6 more to reach my current target

well, I've weighed myself and apparently I've lost 3 pounds this week! A huge surprise as Thu/Fri/Sat I wasn't very good, so I am quite shocked - I was going to settle for a no loss/no gain and be thankful!

That's 9 pounds in the last 2 weeks.

My parents are travelling to see me today and are staying until Wednesday morning so I've not really thought about Green or red days whilst they are here as I'll be cooking for me, OH and them each night. I'm going to do beef casserole in the slow cooker tonight as they won't be here until about 7ish.

It also meant I got my 1/2 stone award as I'm doing SW online, but I've still got my book from when I went to class and I have awards stuck on my book up to 4stone. I'm going to lovingly cut out the 1/2 stone one and stick it to the bottom of my monitor - means I can have a 'real' sticker
