| Hello everyone, My name is Vivienne, I'm 43 and have struggled with my weight most of my life. This year I am determined to lose 6 st and then maintain whilst at the same time facing some home truths about why? and then putting my thoughts right! I have been a size 12 once (for about 6 mths before the weight started creaping back on if the truth be known) and for that short time I felt fantastic - this time it'll be for life.... \:D |
Its been an odd and confusing day today...I'm on day 2 of RTM and was faced with an awkward situation at lunchtime today. I was on a course where the organisers bought lunches in from Pret a Manger...I didn't know what to do for the best, so I'd taken a bar with me but explained that if they were going to get anything for me it needed to be just lean meat or fish. I cannot fault them because wha...

happy and excited but at the same time quite nervous....I've got just 2 days left of full abstinence as I start RTM on Wed this week. My LLC has promised me a RTM book on Tue night so I'll finally see what I'm able to have each week although I have gleaned some stuff off of these webpages. I am already in the size 12s I wanted to get down to and feel fab...judging by all the positive strokes I'v...

I keep dreaming that I've accidentally eaten sandwiches!
Twice now I've had different dreams but similar in that I remember (I think they've been just before I've woken) where I've dreamt that I've been so hungry/absent minded....? that I 've eaten one triangle (all of it) and part of another....and then suddenly I've realised I shouldn't have done and thrown the rest down in horror at myself!!! ...

Strangely feeling a bit blue!
I posted a few pictures of myself on facebook as seen 3 stone down (taken at Easter) and I'm getting some positive comments BUT I look at them and feel depressed! In fact I honestly can't see a difference with some of my older 'me' pictures...where I'm guessing i must have been at least 2 st heavier.
Its strange because I feel much much slimmer than the pictures sug...

Having a grumpy day....most unlike me. Just a small rant coming up one and all....
Frustrated at being in work all day on a lovely sunny day...cooped up!
Dreadful 2 hr drive home.....can't stand drivers who hog the outside lane when they are overtaking...NOTHING! Said drivers even more annoying when they ignore car behind trying to suggest they move over.... Said drivers enough to cause road rage ...

Can't believe having syched myself up for a stay the same or to have a gain during this week with it being milk week....when my LLC said 4 - and I said "what a 4 lb gain?....and then she said no a 4 lb loss!" Wow how great is that! I'd had 3 lb losses now for every week for a month so its ironic that I've lost more by having more cals!
Happy happy happy....enroute to full contentedness!!!

The last 2 weeks have been fab! I have had that many positive strokes...loads of work colleagues and friends have commented on how well I am looking! A few have even 'not recognised me' on first glance...I've seen that fleeting vacant look in their eyes as they try to place me or work out if they know me!!!!
Oh and I even shocked myself the other day when I accidentally saw my slimmer self in a m...

Well I've made it to week 13...milk week! Rather strange discovered that I preferred the porridge with just water, my mushroom soup made up with milk the jury is out on and the only thing I loved that was definately improved was the shake! Oh and the longed for cup of tea with milk....nothing special...am I going mad?

Well so much for that positivism...I had a difficult meeting tonight...counselling awoke some rather unexpected emotions in me. My cousellor likened me to being like an onion whose layers are being peeled back leaving exposed and raw surfaces....I suppose better out than in but still its not a great place to be in....

Well here I am 9 weeks in...oh into my tenth week and 3 stone lighter. I'm on holiday at the moment (in the UK) although the weather doesn't seem to appreciate that and I so needed decent weather to crack on in my garden but never mind not one to let that deter me I've just gone mad with the credit card instead...shopping for the garden projects when the weather does let me do them, shopping for ...
