Girls, I had to share - today I had a “first time” experience.
My boyfriend works at a cinema and has made some good friends there, mentioning just in casual conversation where I work.  Turns out one of his friends saw me at work during the midnight opening for Gears of War 2 and said to [...]

Well girls, finally, finally there is a change on the scales!  I lost 1.4lbs this week, which sounds much more impressive when you say “I went from 10st 10.4lbs to 10st 8.8lbs” - at least the second digit is in single figures now!
I’ve had a rocking day today - got my first assignment [...]

I went to the doctors today.  I’ve been concerned about not losing weight and my persistant apathy.  I have been treated for depression before with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which provides you with self-diagnostic tools and stages to follow when you begin to experience symptoms.  I had to follow the final stage in mine today [...]

Wow, I was seriously dispirited yesterday, and in fact pretty much all day.  I’ve eaten horribly; not even taking into account what’s going into my mouth, just “rebelling” against the source of my frustration.
Until about three minutes ago.  You see, using the weight watchers forum I found a buddy who could help nudge me along.  [...]

Hello all.
It’s grey, rainy and miserable today, and my mood is exactly the same.
I had a horrible night last night.  Due to the day most probably.  I was up from 7.30am, doing labs straight from 9 till 12, classes 12-3, more labs 3-5, 40 minutes for tea then first aid course till 9, and a [...]

It’s official - the world is becoming a better place thanks to one man: Barack Obama.  I may not be an American, but as our closest allies, I am just as happy as any American he has been made president.  Change has come and our prayers have been answered.
Congratulations America and congratulations all of us, [...]

Well I had my week 2 weigh in today, I gained nine ounces making it a 4 ounce net gain.  However, I did have a rather extravagent weekend at my parents, so I think if I had been “good” I would have maintained.
I get a hormonal injection every 12 weeks to control my menstrual cycle.  [...]

Well I have had some physical and some psychological successes today.
As you may have noticed, I seem to do a lot of reappraising.  I am the kind of person that constantly needs to know where I am and where I’ll be next (unless I’m being impulsive and decide to go for a wander).  I think, [...]

Ok, apparently I’m going to have to tick to measuring my weight loss in ounces.  Really?  This is going to take forever.
I stepped on the parents’ scales, and I’ve lost 3 ounces.  How is this happening?  I am eating well, staying within points, doing a good amount of exercise, drinking lots of water and only [...]

I have 4 weeks left of my first semester of third year.  Scary anyone?!
But hey, winter is a time for people to get closer, and typically put more weight around their middles.  Not for me this year!  I’m keeping up with the exercise, and my muscles are still achey from my street dance class but [...]
