Hey guys, my weekend has been very very busy - tons of visitors staying over as it was my daughter's birthday (plus had a birthday party for 25 six year olds on Sat)...good news = still haven't eaten ANY chocolate (day 8 now!)...bad news = ate a fair bit of cake!
Ran 5k on Sunday before anybody had woken up then we all went for a 3 mile walk so at least I've got some exercise in there somewhere. Still hovering at 180-183 but its nearly ToM and not been eating fantastically (not eating madly though...).
Got lots of compliments from friends who haven't seen me for quite a few month about how much slimmer and younger I'm looking which is lovely. So even if the lbs aren't disappearing at the moment, I'm looking better!
Dashign off to work now, will try and catch up on eveyrone's diaries later on..

Hey jjay
Sounds like a lovely weekend. Well done with the exercise and the choccie eating.
My food to avoid is sweets/lollies... I just can't stop eating them once I start. We have lolly jars at work and I always just have to say no. At least the people I work with aren't lolly pushers

WOW! That's one heck of a birthday party! I did it once with 23 7 year olds and vowed never again! Now I let the girls have one or 2 friends from school over, then the rest is family (mostly their cousins close in age).
But the bad thing about having fewer people over is that there is more leftover birthday cake for me to eat! Can't let it go to waste you know!

hey guys, just a quick update from me as I'm as busy as a busy thing and got a stinking cold to boot!!! Better to get it over and done with now though!
Ecky - my cravings have pretty much stopped - it didn't take that long at all. I'm not really thinking of chocolate any more (PHEW!) and actually overall my sweet tooth has diminished somewhat - just goes to show the effect of such things!
LOL Anna - "lolly pushers"!!!
Healthy Jess / Tigpuppy - yeah it was mad! But I hired a couple of girls from the after school kids care to come and do party games and help round up the children for food and stuff, so actually apart from the preparation and cost, it all went really smoothly - all I had to do was go round the parents with sandwiches and tea and coffee etc... and I actually got to talk to people!
Thanks Sunflower - the compliments were SUCH a boost. Particularly when I look back at pictures from last years party (when I thought I looked slimmer...which I did...but I still looked fat!). Now I'm looking curvey. One of my best friends who came to stay for the party was absolutely amazed by my new corporate photo thats just been taken and the difference from the old one (Ecky can attest to this!!) - wish I could post them here to show you all but I'm too anonymous for that! That has to be the biggest boost recently - looking 10 years younger
Day 11 of no chocolate! But I have been scoffing left over birthday cake...sigh...I only like the plain sponge so its 190 cals per serving, I take off all the icing and topping and just eat the plain cake...all in all probably 300 cals of cake per day for the last few days, but I've been eating soup at work etc... so my cals per day is still 1400-1500 - been keeping to a good breakfast (peanut butter on bagels....well worth the additional cals (350 cals) as it keeps me going all morning!, soup for lunch - 150 cals, maybe 100-200 cals of snacks in the morning or afternoon, so by the time I get home, I'm only 700-800 cals for the day, leaving plenty for dinner and cake!).
Not had any time or energy since sunday to do any exercise (but ran 5km and walked 2-3 miles then). Hovering at 182lbs but its TOM coming up and I usually go up a few lbs at this time and then dip back down again. Waist and legs definitely getting smaller even if the poundage isn't slipping massively. My trousers came back from the seamstress and the waist is tiny compared to the hips! Adios to size 16 soon!! My fingers are getting skinnier too - the ring I normally wear is getting too big again so will have to go on ebay and buy it in a size smaller! Luckily the company I got it from is still making them (I've already gone down a size...this will be my second time...but they aren't expensive). All my size 16 jeans that fit so skin tight and looked GOOD in the summer months are getting saggy baggy now even though it feels like I haven't lost much weight. Time to sell them on ebay methinks and splash out in the Next sale at christmas time! For the first time I can't WAIT to go shopping for the christmas drinks and parties that we have coming up! What a new concept!
What else? Few emails with Mr X, nothing x-citing (hahah) just professional stuff but the big meeting is coming up and I'm going to give him a call next week. I've been quite restrained actually and am not going to reply to his last email..I'll be the "first to end the email-conversation" rather than the one to try and draw it out. I'm pretty much spending the whole day at his offices on this meeting day as I have two or three other meetings scheduled in with them individually after the big one - the last one with X of course to round off the day nicely. Jeepers, I am going to have to look HAWT for this! I have bought some new shoes....like 4 inch stilletos in a shiny black pvc kind of material...they are smoking...and worn with a smart pair of suit trousers are just enough..."at first glance professional, at a closer look...oooh VA VA VOOOM!". Just got to make sure I can walk in them!
Work has been so busy but going really well. I've been building links with Mr X's equivilents in another of their offices and having the connections with him has really helped smooth along the relationships. I can't believe I am getting a reputation nationally in my company and with our clients for being a specialist in this area - WOOHOO. Its exactly what I want to do. My boss is getting paranoid that X's boss might offer me a job hahahahaha.
Okay dokey, I'm off to work...have a nice day everyone!

Yes I saw the corporate photos. In the old one Jay is pretty with a gorgeous smile so when I opened it I assumed it was the recent photo but the recent one is even more stunning. She looks absolutely drop dead gorgeous!!!!!! My whole family were impressed when I showed them the photo although all agreed that she was gorgeous before.
The trick that I have learnt with parties is to make the guests take all the fattening food home with them or put it straight into the bin when everybody has gone then the temptation is out of the way.
By the time you get to the meeting with Mr X at the end of the day you feet will be killing you from wearing the stilletos so it will be a good time to get better acquainted by getting him to give you a foot massage

Lol!!!
Perhaps I should ask him to put it on the agenda!! I'm seeing him for the first couple of hours too in the big important meeting so won't be hobbling then..
Awwwww thanks for the compliments Ecky. I cannot see any gorgeousness in the first photo - I think I look so much older..and "the best I could hope to look at that weight" ..ie best of a bad job! Don't feel like that anymore though!

I'd love to see the photos too, but I completely understand wanting to remain as anonymous as possible on here. I'm the same way. I bit the bullet and posted pics of myself in my underwear for goodness sakes, but with my head cut off. I'd die of embarrassment if someone figured out it was me in real life! Especially the before pics! I would be especially mortified if someone I work with saw them and knew it was me. I've worked long and hard to earn the professional respect I get at my job. I'd hate to ruin that with a few half naked pictures on the internet.

*throws tantrum* I WANNA SEE THE PRETTY LADY!
All my friends know I post on here, and my family. I just have no shame! Half naked pictures of my fat-ass all over the internet? Ohhhh, go on then!
Completely understand wanting to remain anon though. Jay is your real name though, right!?
