Heyyy hello to you all...I maintained this week, which is ok with me
I am happy if I either maintain or lose as that’s me headed in the right direction...
Had a sweet NSV today tho! I found a bag with uk size 24 (think that is US 22 u will know better than me!) that I have had for years, there were 2 really nice tops I wanted to get in and a pair of jeans I've not worn for 5 years..anyway at my biggest I was a UK s28 and recently went into a s26, however I got in the tops and the jeans and honestly I was stunned!!!
It feels sooo good and I really can see the ‘light’ weight wise and feel that losing this 35 pounds, altho still obviously a long way to go, I just feel so much better about myself nowadays. Living is easier and doing my job as a nurse so much easier. So it feels so so so good.
Any of you struggling, I would say keep going, because for me getting 35 pounds off has made such a huge huge difference to me, you don't need to lose a hundred to feel better, really u don't.
Annie – Hope you are doing ok, how did the rehab go? Have u found out any more news?
ACyn - So glad yr surgery went ok and u seem to have bounced back really well. Sorry about family stress...can’t live with em, can’t live without em methinks! X
HBieber2006 – well done on your weight loss and agree u can see it on the pics, keep going and keep taking the pics as it comes off
Kayleystar – well done on yr internships, I hope they are really interesting for you...you are really working hard and I’m sure it will all pay off in the future well done also on yr weight loss, reaching that 30 pound off goal, and roping yr ma in as well can only help
Well done for all your hard work and efforts in yr life, you are an inspirational young woman
Hotwings – for flappy boobs and tummy I would just say the tightest underwear u can manage and still breathe will lead to less flapping about which can be distracting to say the least lol!! I really really hate that sound and i always tend to wear support type underwear to keep my saggy tum in check! X
Nancy – great to see u back
really pleased I did miss u. The cats sound lovely, sorry yr relationship didn’t work out for u permanently , but who knows what life will bring u!! Sorry u have gained some weight, it is such a bind when that happens, but think we have all been there, and how u deal with the setbacks is the key to long term weight management, so good to see u back on board.
Jacquie – well done on the scales dipping and showing a lower weight, yr b/control pills really mess u about don’t they? I was the same, but had a total hysterectomy at 32, so no more of that for me thank goodness...but it is a pain. Keep on doing what yr doing, as its working
Catherine – exciting news about the transport/car situation, brilliant well done! Must feel good to have wheels again!!
Sharon – Hiya! Well done on the pound off!! Glad the hrt is making u feel better too and hubby spoiling u in the card shop, how nice
xx My first week at work was great, I think I am going to love district nursing! Its great, loads to learn too x
Hippiemama – well done on yr weight loss and exercise, sounds like u are doing really well, and the healthy cooking sounds yum!
Pinkflamingo – I feel for you with yr various anxiety issues, it really is not nice feeling like that. You are the best person to fight your way out of this if you can find the belief in yourself and start tackling issues one by one and making a small amount of progress every day in different areas of your life, you will be amazed at how your life can change to something you could never have imagined. The key is small achievable steps. Believe in yourself and get yr mind as straight as u can and move forward. Positive Mental Attitude can be cultivated from within. Good luck x
Well that’s me for now, we are on hols this week, so visiting grandparents tomorrow for the day and midweek we are off to Alton Towers, a big theme park with Halloween themed rides etc, we are staying overnight in the hotel, which has been very expensive – but should be FUN!!
Be good, believe in yourselves xxxx
