AI just have to tell you this!!!!
I went to the supermarket to do the shopping earlier, we didn't need lots but I also got some of the reduced cookies etc for Mark and Jack. I commented to the checkout girl that it looked like I was just buying crap and she said 'how do you have such a great figure with all this junk food?' OMG!!!!!!!!! I was blown away with this. I don't know this girl and she didn't know that I had lost loads of weight!!!!!!!
Maybe I am being too hard on myself, maybe I should accept what I look like now and just maintain this.
I left the shop with such a huge great big smile on my face

How long has it been since you tried on a fat outfit m'deary? You need to do that for the overwhelming visual evidence of exactly HOW FAR you've come!
I was just watching embarrassing bodies, and there was a woman who had lost 14 stone. She put on a weighted vest that was only a quarter of the weight she's lost at 3 1/2 stone, and went to the shops and stuff in it, and she could not believe how hard it was to go about her day to day life with just that extra weight.
You have lost so much, and you do look great! I'm sure you know loads of people who are about your size .. Do you think they are fat? NO! Because they are not! Even when you are feeling bloated, it is impossible for you to look big for other people.
I sort of understand where you are coming from, as I got skinny all them years ago... I remember thinking that the taller girl in this music video was exactly the same size as me, and I thought it was good that the music video people hadn't given the job to someone really skinny.... But after I gained weight again, it slowly dawned on me that I was actually skinny then, the girl in the video is askinny as well. Its strange how we can become distorted to ourselves.

Oh honey, I'm so sorry I had to have my cat put down when I was 18 and she was 19! She'd been there my whole life. Was one of the worst days of my life. I hope you are okay <3
What dog bit you? One of your own? That's not good--Have you seen a GP?

Oh sweetie, You poor thing! I know you love your animals too. I had made the ap't the other day to take our Ingrid to the vet, I thought to have her put down, & then she made a comeback. I think it's only a matter of time & the thought really saddens me. She is almost 15! I won't have her suffer though. Darling I'm sending you a great big bear hug & a big kiss on the forehead & lots and lots of love, xoxoxo Cate

AHi guys
I'm back I came home yesterday instead of today as my leg is really sore.
I'm gonna rewind to monday and tell you what happened.
My cat, the tabby one, pooh bear had been not right for quite a few weeks and she had been peeing in the house. I took her to the vets on Friday and they thought she might have kidney failure and they needed a wee sample so I managed to get one on Saturday and took it in, they rang on Sunday saying that they needed us to book pooh in on Monday and they wanted to talk to us about the results. I rang them and booked her in and spoke to the vet on the phone at lunch time and she explained that pooh is diabetic she explained that she will need insulin injections twice a day and regular blood tests and days at the vets to make sure her blood sugars are right. I thought about it all afternoon and decided that I didn't want to put her thru all that. She was 14 and had a really happy, healthy life up til then and also it would cost several hundreds of pounds to just get her stable and we don't have that kind of money so I made the really difficult decision to have her put down we took her in that evening............the vet was lovely and pooh just quietly went to sleep.
All my pets have been buried in the field at mum & dads with a little paving slab on top of them so I took pooh to there's to put her with the others. I went inside the house to get dad to help me and as I went to go into the kitchen I asked mum if the dog (who had a litter of week old puppies) would be ok and she said 'yes, fine' so I walked thru the kitchen. As I walked past the dog she grabbed the back of my calf and shook it ( like they do when they have the other end of the rope when you play with them) then she let go and got a better hold!!!!! I just stood there in a state of shock (my brain wasn't computing what was happening as I had just had pooh put down) mum was screaming and crying!!! She grabbed the dog and I walked out of the kitchen. Dad made me sit on the toilet while he held a cold wet cloth to my leg, mum is having hysterics now, bless her, and I then start sobbing 'I just want to bury my cat'
When I had calmed down I went to take pooh up to the field but looked at my leg and saw that one of the holes was more of a gash and you could quite clearly see the fat under my skin so dad buried her for me while I went to A&E.
I have photos on my phone and will show you the gruesomeness later. To be honest, being bitten really helped take my mind off what happened with pooh.
I had to go back and get it re dressed the following morning, evening, morning, evening and then on the morning I left to go camping. Apparently with dog bites they don't close the wound because there is lots of nasty bacteria in a dogs mouth and they leave it open to 'ooze' yum huh?! It is still oozing now!
Anyway, off I went camping and just as I arrived at the camp site I managed to reverse my car into a post box!!!!!!!!! dent the back of my car And smash my rear view windscreen!!!!!!!! Boy was I having a couple of crappy days. Managed to get that replaced the following morning and managed to have a relaxing time away. I couldn't do much walking at all cos my leg is so sore but did lots of sitting drinking beer, eating really naughty food and reading.
I am back on track today it's weird, Mark and I laughed at the fact that I am going on a diet!!! To lose what I gained while I was away knowing that I will lose it and then I can maintain. He loves the fact that he can call me 'fatty' in a piss take kinda way and I love it too. Knowing that he thinks I am not fat and that's why he says it. He knows I don't take compliments so that is his way of saying it, if that makes sence
Right I am gonna watch the Olympics, we might get gold in the tennis! Go Murray!!!!!
Thanks for all your kind word of love and concern. You are such lovely people
I'll be back in a bit

Kate!
My goodness.. I'm sorry I haven't been hopping around more in your journal as of late! Lately, it feels like time has just been accelerating away from me and it's all I can do to keep any kind of rhythm with things outside of my regimen :\
The troubles you're describing make me want to cry (losing a family pet is so difficult), then with the dog bite and the accident.. ugh! But, I'm happy you were finally able to relax and take it easy after all that insanity. You deserve a good rest with beer, food, and reading in my opinion!! I regard your commitment to continuing the lifestyle in face of all these crazy obstacles to be so amazing. Really, just amazing!
Feel better and good luck in the upcoming days!
I'm back on a really good track myself, so hopefully sending you some of my froggy vibes will help you recover quicker and do the same!
Wishing you the best, Kate!

ARepairing the damage diet day 1
Breakfast: 2 weetabix
Lunch: Ham, lettuce and light mayo wheat gem sandwich with grapes
Dinner: 3 small pieces of breaded chicken with Cous Cous, salad and light salad cream
Snacks: Granola bar
Total calories = 932
I've had a good food day on my day 1 of back on track and haven't been tempted at all to carry on with eating any rubbish yay!!!
I haven't done any exercise today really. I did pick some raspberries and did a bit of weeding at the allotment but my leg hurts if I am on my feet for too long. I obviously haven't done any running and I'm worried about when I will be able to run as the bite was deep into my calf muscle.
I am totally hooked on the Olympics so won't get chance to read thru diaries but I will catch up as soon as I can
Greg thanks for stopping by and thank you for your lovely words. I will definitely catch up with your diary this week.
On my iPad so no ticker....... Just lots of love

O wow Kate, sounds like you went through a lot over the last week!! I'm so sorry about your cat, it's never nice having to say goodbye to something that's been in your life for so long. Can't bare the thought of losing one of my fur babies!!
Can't believe you got bitten by a dog too!!!!!! Really hope your leg gets better soon. Just one thing on top of another hey? Hope you have a few days to get your head in the right spot again and let your leg heal. Take it easy, big squishies
