Hey everyone.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your supportive comments.  I am feeling a lot better about things right now, I think I needed to realign my thinking to avoid my obsessive behaviour and to gain a more realistic mindset.  All your comments did me the world of good!  Also one of Sunny’s posts, which told me in no uncertain terms in her wonderful down to earth way that being healthy is my responsibility, not something that can just be done on a whim.  I heart you Sunny :)  Hehe.

I’m not using the scale now.  I might hop on occassionally, but no more than once a month.  DP’s hidden it.  I have made myself a promise to move every day.  Not for a given amount of time or a given activity, just to move.  Walk, yoga, skipping rope, frisbee, gardening…  Moving is the important thing.  Obviously I am eating sensibly too and keeping to the no carbonated drinks or alcohol rule.  But working on moving every day I can make it a game, not a chore, and build up my activity levels as I go without the extreme focus on minutes gained, calories burnt etc. etc.

So I’m back girlies and posting again.

Oh yeah, did I say something about results?

….

I kicked those exams’ asses!  A, B+, B, B!!  I am one happy chickie!!  I need 3 A’s next year (perfectly achievable) to graduate with a First (I think it’s something like [something] Com Laude - sorry for the awful latin - for my American counterparts).  So yeh - I’m a happy girl!  And totally psyched for next year.  I’ve had the fright, I know what I need to do and I will work very hard for that beautiful degree
