Petals diary

Hi all ,
Sorry I have not been in the mood to post much here last few days. I'm still feeling positive about my weight and maintenance although I have no weight loss to report on it sadly .i was hovering on a down but it's not being kind to me. Hopefully by May I will be able to say more down .

Dog is ok still but getting another test tues to make sure. Still no internet for my husband and that has caused terrible anxiety. I'm trying to take half hour here and there to sit out ( weather is lovely ) and do a short walk or even a longer one when l can. Online school timetable going on here so that's interesting to say the least . Looks like exams will go ahead , not sure how it will work if the virus is still about .

Jack I can't see an empty nest here too soon now but I willbe happy schooldays are over.
Cate I strive to keep my mind in happy and healthy somedays it's a struggle but in the circumstances I am positive
Yes Amy fits and starts
Em I agree looking forward to some social life
 
Hi Petal. Sometimes I don’t feel like posting either! :)

Happy to see you are still on track. I think you have lost so consistently for so long, it’s ok to see a little pause in that. You are still doing amazing by the way and I hope I can get into your mindset sooner rather than later.

Regarding anxiety with husband/Internet - you can’t do anything about it so it’s wasted energy my friend. Do not get sucked in to that place. There’s a line between loving people and wanting them to be happy and taking on all their burdens as your own. He has his own shoulders.
 
Yes sometimes easier said than done . He has to share his anxieties somewhere too so it’s hard for me to switch off and I do get very anxious. Also no internet means no work means no Income . Taking forever to get sorted with lockdown but hopefully by next weekend ! Was time for a major upgrade anyway .
I did talk with him though about how he needs to deal with stress in a more positive manner . My pep talk working a bit for now .

It is always nice to see your posts, but feeling positive and doing well is more important. Good for you.

Hope your internet is up and running soon, if not already.
 
Petal, I don't know how I missed your diary entries above - I'm so sorry that I did - I would have wanted to give you some support about the anxieties shared between you and your husband about internet troubles related to work - I know it's his work problem rather than yours, but when anxiety is ricocheting around a house everyone gets caught by it. :( Good for you for meeting it head-on by offering ways he can positively deal with it - and fingers crossed for the connection/machine to get sorted/upgraded ASAP!

And speaking of positive - solidarity on the weight/health front. :) Great that you're feeling positive - and I'm cheering for May to bring irrefutable proof of how beautifully healthy, slender and fit you're getting.
 
Thanks Amy ,Rob and LaMa .

problems have eased and getting there thankfully . It’s been a really really busy hectic week and I can’t believe it’s near an end . Will catch you with all you lovely people over the weekend .
 
It seems restrictions are easing a little bit for you, too, so you can at least go a bit farther afield for your walks. :) Here's wishing you good sleep right now, and a calm, re-invigorating weekend!
 
Things gone shit again . I’m struggling to cope now . Trying really hard . I have a lot going on . And am totally overwhelmed. I might not be posting here while I regroup and hope things get better . I promise not to stick my head in a box of chocolates though .
 
Hi all and thanks for hugs and support. Things did improve thsnk god with lots of phone calls and effort and talking . I was left depleted and exhausted but did manage a lovely Sunday and a tv day yesterday. Life feels precarious right now for me.
I have decided for May I am not doing challenges or goals and going to live each day by day. Take it as it comes. I have way too much stuff going on in my life at the moment so that's my new approach.

Turns out stress combined with sticking to my slimming world plan gave me a weight drop of 2.5lb. So that's now 8.5 lb left to my personal target. I will get there whenever . I don't recommend the stress though. But least I got something out of it. No real desire to eat crap luckily. Craved melon yesterday . Hope that continues .
