We popped up to the allotment this morning for the first time this year and it is looking fine, we probably only have a days work getting it ready for this years planting I then went to mum's with her mothers day pressents. She was so gushing about my weight loss. She said that it shocks her how amazing i look everytime i see her. It is lovely that she is so proud and she doesn't say anything about stopping, she is just so pleased for me. We did some more paper mache when i got back and then Marks mother came round........ In complete contrast to my mum, she told me that i have gone too far, i need to stop now and that i am looking too skinny, especially around my face, neck and shoulders!!!!!! I was so fucking angry with her 
. She was sat there with her belly hanging over her 'too tight' jeans telling me this!!!!! I would say that she is bigger than i was when i started!!!!!! Her husband (Mark's step dad) said i looked great though! Ha lol
Cv is all ready to go. I'm posting it in the morning!! Wish me luck

Hi Kate!
AWESOME! Congrats on the 4lb loss! That is faaaaaaaantastic!!
I'm sorry you got a little peeved at Mark's mother's comment. Don't let it get you down! You're doing great and will continue to do so! It sounds like she's a little jealous of your success though if she told you this while certain areas were 'hanging over' her clothing, hehe.
Anyway, keep up the great work and I hope you have a good upcoming week!

AThat is fabulous news! You are only a small step away from your goal- no wonder you are so darn excited!
As for your mum-she sounds lovely and like an excellent source of support.
The MIL, on the other hand... all I can say is that I think many of us here on the site who have lost a lot of weight have run into these type of people. And it's SO hard to deal with them when they are family members. It sounds like you held in your anger and didn't react much. And that's probably for the best. You don't need the drama and you KNOW you are doing what's best for you.
It's sure, though, that it could crop up again more from unexpected quarters; People who were used to being slimmer than you might not like being the "fat one" now. But I'm sure you have the resources to deal with it. You've shown throughout this journey that you're one tough (non-fat, sugar-free, of course) cookie!
BTW- I started my own journey very similar to you. I was just a bit heavier and am an inch taller. I still remember how amazing it felt to get down to 155lbs! It was my last mini-goal and I went out and bought two gorgeous new dress, a skirt, black leather boots and some black pearl earrings. It was quite a splurge. I went with a girlfriend and we had such fun! And it felt so good to go into posh shops and fit into the clothes....
I hope you plan to shop heavily soon!!! You deserve it!

Blast day 9
Breakfast: 50g porridge & blueberries (201 cals)
Lunch: 97 cal crisps, granola bar & a yoghurt (334 cals)
Dinner: 75g porridge with cinnamon & blueberries (295 cals)
Snacks: 3 coffee's, 3 kiwi's, pineapple and a banana (313 cals)
Total calories = 1143
Exercise: 10 min walk & a 30 min run.
I posted my CV this morning!!! Fingers crossed
I had an odd day today. I had a headache, really achey body and felt pretty sick for a while but it didn't last long! Weird huh. I really didn't fancy anything for dinner so i had some porridge cos it always makes me feel better I love my porridge and i had cinnamon in it for the first time OMG it was awesome!!! Thought i had better not really go for it on my run this evening cos i had felt yuck today so did a 30 min run on 9kph. It was nice to just do a steady run rather than really belting out the speed.
Greg Cheers for your lovely comments mate The mother in law did annoy me, she kinda made me worry. I am worried that i will get to the 'old and gaunt' look and i thought maybe she was saying that. But everyone has told me that she is wrong so....fhew I guess that maybe it is a bit of jealousy, i suppose it is hard when you are unhappy with how you look to see someone actually put in the work, do it in a healthy way and actually become 'slim'. I have never been slim before so i must look really weird. It was such a contrast after how totally lovely and proud my mum was, so it kinda hurt really. Why does she need to be so nasty!!
I'm hoping to lose some more this week, but i think that would be asking a bit much after this last week!! I am still gonna crack on and finish my 20 day blast, looking forward to seeing how much i manage to lose by the end of it
Wild at heart Hi Thanks for stopping by and thank you so much for your lovely comments
Cate
You always seem to manage to make me blush these days!!! Thank you my lovely for your constantly amazing posts 
Rox Heya sweetie Cheers for stopping by hun. Hope you're doing good. I must catch up with your diary, i seem to struggle with time at the moment though. I will try tomorrow Thank you so much for your comments and you are so right. I am getting people telling me to stop and i even get people asking if i am eating properly!!! I would never dream of saying that to someone, it amazes me that someone would say that to me. It even got to the point where i asked the Dr and he said that the target i have set for myself is perfect so i know that i am not being silly and if anyone pushs too much about it (like the mother in law) then i can say that the Dr is on my side!!!
Also, i have never ever been slim before so, like i said to Greg, i must look really weird!!! It will take some time for everyone to get use to it. People that i love and care about are all totally supportive and they are the only ones who matter really anyway, so............ to everyone else (i think that face is sticking its tongue out)
I did my size 12 shop with a friend during the sales after christmas. We had a lovely lunch and glass of wine too, it was a lovely day and i even bought some size 10 dresses that fitted!!! I do need to get some summer clothes but i am at the stage with buying clothes now that i will try loads on and only get something if i totally love. That is such a contrast to shopping when i was a 18/20, i would just get something cos it fitted. So i love shopping now even though it still freaks me out that i am a 12!!!

Whoo hoo i am halfway thru my 20 day blast!!!
The eggs we had on saturday have really messed with my IBS problems so i am trying to calm the bloating and farting (yeah, i know TMI) by eating porridge. And i am also totally addicted to it hence eating it twice a day for the last 2 days.
Bec's, one of my best friends brought a tub of creamy looking slop into work for me yesterday with an instruction sheet. it was for 'German friendship cake' it is soda cake and you have to do stuff with it every day for 10 days to keep it alive, most days you just give it a stir but other days you add stuff and then on day 9 you devide it into 4 and give 3 to friends and then on day 10 you get to cook your bit!!!! I am sooooooo gonna have some of it and NOT count the calories. If i am going to look after Herman (yep, that's what its called) for 10 days then i am damn well gonna eat him
I have had a temptation filled day today.......AGAIN!!!! Someone brought in a huge chocolate cake!!! And the Colgate rep came at linchtime with sandwiches, crisps, ring doughnuts, jam doughnuts and profita rolls!!! How totally unfair is that?!?!? I did good though
The Colgate rep was telling me that she is really looking into seeing if she can find me a repping job and she said that she is going to a large conference in saturday so could i send her a CV and covering letter for her to take with her so i am frantically doing one this evening. It obviously need to be different from a nursing one and it is really hard!!!!! My brain is screaming at me now and i haven't finished. I have done the CV but need to finish the covering letter. I have taken a break to write on here cos my brain had kinda come to a stand still!!!!
I had better go back to it....... Sorry guys, i'm not gonna get to check out your diaries today either. I will try tomorrow
Oooooh, oooh, oooh. I nearly forgot to tell you something.....When i was sat in the garden this morning i had a bit of a moment. I was sat there thinking about my weight loss and i thought 'you have actually done it haven't you' i really think it was the first time i have thought that. It really made me smile I have been varying degrees of fat since i was 11 years old and i am no longer fat (i am deciding that being 4lb over weight is not fat) and i just can't believe that i've done it. You guys have done this for me and i love you all dearly, i will be grateful for the rest of my life
Cate I just know that you couldn't be horrible even if you tried really hard.....Cos you are too bloody lovely

Total calories = 1194
Exercise: 10 min walk, 4km run and a 1 hour toning class
I have stressed a bit about the job situation today. I have been having a really tough time trying to do my bloody CV and a covering letter. I have never done one in my life before and this last week i have done one for dental nursing and tried to do one for sales repping. I still haven't finished the covering letter for repping!!! I have done quite a bit but i just don't know what else to put or how to finish it. I'm waiting for Rob to come online so i can run (pause.....he just rang) it by him. Well he has just rung and we have gone thru my covering letter and i am much happier with it now He is such a sweetie, i said i would take up half an hour of his time and it took us near on an hour, whoops!!
I got to the gym late this evening so only had time to do a 4km run. My toning class was again really hard but awesome. My bum is gonna kill and the inside of my legs too but thats the whole idea huh
Cate Wow i really didn't think of it like that. I really hope i'm capable of keeping this weight off. I am loving the feeling (when my brain remembers) that i dont stand out now and i don't think that everyones first impression of me is 'wow she's a big girl' and i really hope i can keep that as my motivation to keep it off
Rox It was a huge moment really wasn't it. I am in a good headspace with it at the moment, at times i struggle with not looking like me anymore but i'm doing good right now. Thank you so much for your lovely comment you really made me feel quite proud of myself, which is something i dont do
Jess Thank you so much for your wishes regarding the job front. I know that you really do understand the stress of it. I hope that we both manage to get our lives going in a good direction. I hope you feel better in yourself soon my lovely. Love and hugs Xx

Hi Kate
Don't stress about the slip up! It's actually good to indulge every once and a while, otherwise you might go a bit crazy! I know I would without my weekly cheat - and you went 11 days without one! That's great, so just take the cheat meal in stride
It's no big deal at all, as long as you keep your focus and continue on strong after the fact! :]

When i started writing this post i thought 'well, i failed yesterday so i can't carry on with my 20 day blast' but then told myself off for trying to use that as an excuse to cave in. I have had a good food day but i am struggling this evening!! I really want to eat. I'm not hungry, i just wanna eat!! I managed to convince myself to carry on with my 'blast' but I have not included my coffee's in my calories. When i first started i didn't include them in my calories and i think im gonna leave them out now.
I ate a lot of chocolate and a big bag of crisps last night, i just lost control I woke up at about 1.30am feeling really sick, and was 
I can't get over how my body is just not use to eating that stuff anymore. I use to eat that amount on a friday and saturday night every weekend but last night it just made me sick!!! I'm really glad that it did actually cos it reminded me that it is bad for me and my body doesn't cope with it anymore.
I didn't get to go to the gym this evening cos i had to go to see my mum & dad (and dad's new puppy.....awwww she is just the cutest!!) does playing with a puppy count as exercise??
I know i have failed at doing the full 20 day blast cos i pigged out and haven't done any exercise today but i am not going to give up on it, i am going to do this till the end (well try my hardest anyway)
Cate You really made me think about my lunch. You're right, i'm not eating properly so i had a sandwich today and i am going to make sure i eat properly This job is only part time (3 days a week) so not ideal but i will apply anyway. Cheers for your lovely words my lovely 
Greg I am annoyed with my slip yesterday but i am so pleased that i could get back on track straight away today. I know that it happens and we all do it, it's kinda like or body needs to do it lol or in my case my brain cos my body definately didn't want it!!! Cheers for the support mate

Well done Kate on not letting one 'fail' day turn the next day into a "fuck it day"
You may even end up with more work (2 p/t jobs?) than you need as some employers can be very flexible with hours, especially if they think that you are worth being flexible for. I know we used to be like that with staff that we really valued. I love that you are being really positive & going for it. It just shows how much your attitude has changed in just one year. LOVE IT! Re: the lunch thing- I'm hopeless at night if I don't have a good, healthy & reasonably substantial lunch. You are blitzing the weight-loss sweetie but don't want to starve yourself & snacking at night on rubbish makes us feel rubbish & we don't want that. I'll put some more pics up soon as have just spent ages taking photos of photos xoxo Cate

STOP THNKING YOU'VE FAILED YOUR 20 DAY BLAST!!! Your aim was to lose 4lbs, and you did that within the first week. So you won it in half the time!
I wish your bloody MiL could just be happy for you!
I've just eaten a huge eff off Aero and I feel sick and horrible as well.
