Cate's Diary

I understand your shoe issue! I have the widest feet of a woman ever and it just doesn't work in shoes! I also am having a toe issue! Stoopid feet!
 
:) May I ease your (psychological, sadly not physical) pain ladies? I have to buy my sneakers 2.5 sizes larger to avoid rubbing my (nicely straight) little toe raw on the side. That´s not because I have horribly deformed, unfeminine feet but because standard shoes for women are made very narrow. Too narrow for average women. Because people think that looks more feminine. Even though that causes health problems. Remember a couple of years ago when there was a small hype around women having surgery to make their feet narrower to fit into... don´t remember if it was Jimmy Choos or Louboutins. Wider shoes can definitely look nice and feminine, but usually only the orthopaedic stuff is made to actually fit.
 
Women's clothes are ridiculously impractical as well. I hate not having pockets & that's why I usually end up buying hiking/travel clothes. Fashion smashion! My right foot is throbbing from wearing those shoes for 3 hours! OUCH! (Look at you LaMa- 2.9kg! WOW!)

 
:) I hate button shirts that don´t take into account women may have boobs. Which is all of them. And shirts with sleeves only on the outside of the arm, not on the inside (can you say backpack-chafing?). Which is almost all of them. Even when you go for hiking stuff you need a lantern+magnifying glass to find something practical! But hey, this too shall pass. Hope your foot gets better soon!
 
Good luck with the hammer toe situation. My sister has troubling feet, bunions, hammer toes and they are wide and flat. She is on a lifelong quest for perfect shoes. Good luck, I know from watching her struggle its not easy.
 
I usually end up wearing men's shoes- got a pair of Rockport grey/black sneakers on now, but have to wear jeans to match the tattiness!
Weight- re-gained .5kg, so 6.5 to go! Something very weird going on here. 8 years on from losing 36kg my body is rebelling!!! [emoji15][emoji107][emoji29]

Hi Cate...I know it is frustrating! I believe that I have played with the same 4 pounds for what seems like forever. You are doing all of the right things though!

Finding comfortable and cute shoes is indeed difficult! When I find a pair of running shoes that I like, I buy 2 pairs because I've learned that when I try to find them again, sometimes I can't!
 
There is no WAY anyone's feet are wider than mine, just not possible!
Hoping you get a whoosh on the scale soon! You seem to be doing all the right things so it has to move eventually!
 
Thanks JL, LaMa & Mystic. I feel so frustrated I could cry.
I took the shoes back & got a credit. Hopefully she'll be able to find some wide enough for me.

Had a bad day today. I don't think I want to re-live it by telling you about it really. It all stemmed from a nasty reaction to those bloody room "de-odorisers" AGAIN!
I bought some charcoal masks & it looks like I might have to wear one when I visit Mum. I am going to find some info on what's in them & print it up & take it into the manager of the aged care centre. Every time I go in there(3-4 times a week) I feel sick & my Asthma is bad, but today was the worst!

I am starting to really worry about my future & whether I may end up a hermit. It is scary. The world has gone crazy with artificial fragrance!

I had better get out of here & escape into a book I think. Sorry to sound down. I won't re-read this post! xoxo Cate
 
Glad you´re feeling better again. I said it before and I´ll probably say it again: allergies suck. Especially the ones you can´t really avoid.
 
I have the same reaction to smelly things. Only scents like vanilla or maybe a citrus smell don't make me violently ill!

Hope the manager soon realizes that those things can really ruin a person's day!

Feel better soon!
 
Thanks LaMa xo
Weight-7kg to go! Yep, that's right-7! [emoji15]
I may as well have bread again, but I'll stay off the wine for a while.
Laptop is not working again. Next time I'll give them time to fix bugs!
Just turned it off & back on & now I can move the cursor.
Off my phone now & check up on diaries xoC
