I'm 30 too.. but I loved the Twilight Series :)

I have to decide if I want to read the 'New Host"

My friend, who is 32, calls these kinds of books "Brain Candy"
 
Hi Chelle,
You crack me up!! You sound like me, putting off my washing to read a good book.I have to admit I have not read any of the Twilight series. I am a big crime/thriller novel fan!Truth be told the only time I get to read is at night after the rugrats have gone to bed.Fingers crossed you fit nicely into you dress and hubby notices your hard work paying off!!!
Post soon
kc:)
 
love sick over a book... ha ha ha

Thanks KC...

I love vampires.. a stage i wish i had grown out of.. ha ha ha... I can say i spent my valentines day with a vampire and a shape shifting wolf... ahh how romantic... If only i hadnt suffered the head cold too... Thank goodness that has let up... Yes the house work suffered, but only slightly though.. I will be back on track by the time the kids get home and after i have finished posting...
This weeks goal:I shall avoid Kmart and the book store like the plague as not to tempt me to buy "Host".. I am sure that will be just as addictive .. well at least until hubby goes back ... ha ha
ha... shouldnt be too hard as my friend is having her bub on friday... omg so close now... so exciting... cant wait to see if i have niece or nephew... I adopt family the way some people adopt pets.. My mum only had a small family and she has taught me this habbit... like so many other..ha ha ha..

My dress fits, but wont for long, :) I managed to find a cardigan to compliment it so very happy... especially as it is a bit chilly down her at the mo.. it keeps threatening rain but we have hardly had more then a few drops... argh!!! funny and sad the extremes of this country..

Well my husbands company has shut down 2 mines close to him its scary, he is sulking because he wants me to tell him he can go get his mc license but i keep replying with non commital answers...he still has a job at the moment so we work from there... I will update his resume and start sending off job applications but thats all im committing to, we still need to pay for our new patio before he spends our savings on something else.... ARGHHH.......

Why oh why is it not my destiny to win lotto div 1.. I am a giving person and would soon share it... ha ha ha...

Well my kg's have gone down a bit more so my goal of being 80 kg for bridesmaid dresses will be close... yippee... I went into portmans the other day, they have some pretty clothes ( that i feel so old for) but to my suprise i slipped easily into a 16 skirt but the boobs stopped the dress from doing up all the way... I was still so very happy... L's are getting looser on me too Xl's and 18's will be in the revenge bag soon...

Well Aislings is attacking me so i best log off and get some cleaning done..

Thanks again everyone and will catch up with your posts too.....

Oh Chelle, You are a crack-up! Soon you'll be in the 70's & 80kgs will be a distant memory. How exciting! I wish I had the boob problem. I'm more your pear shape. Well....not your pear shape. My pear shape. What little boobs I had have gone the way of the fat monster! Cheers & look out for bridesmaid Chelle, xo Cate.

Fantastic Chelle!!!

Isn't it funny - we get to those points where we REALLY want to drop that little bit (the decades, half decades), and our bodies have a "go slow" just at that point. Never mind - another week and you'll see that lovely No. 7 at the start I'm sure.
 
Ho Hum.. what a day...

Thanks Niyah... Yes i am still witing for the kg's to drop, but as you say wont be long now.... and Fingers crossed it will be a big drop.... ha ha ha:)

Well today was our first day of bridesmaid dress hunting... I must say it was rather a lot of fun especially as i could squeeze into 12-14... i got into 16's with no probs but yes you could have knocked me down with a feather when i actually got the smaller sizes over my hips... no chance with the boobs, but hey im not asking for everything...:) Saw a couple weliked, but still many more stores to look in... Note to self need new bra's and non lacey undies before next hunting day.. ha ha ha

Things are very busy for me at the moment, i have a new niece..Summer lily, born Friday.. My aunt has also had a hysterectomy ( soz about the spelling), kel flew back to work yesterday and my grans dog had to be put down this morning and just this afternoon my close friends relationship hit a rough spot - he took their son..:( . i cant seem to spread myself around to everyone...

Anyway.. enough of my drivel.. I shall go read up on some posts.. I see some new names.. ..

Anyway, be back tomorrow...
Take care

Chelle's Confessions ...

Well, alas whilst i was internet deprived... You guessed it... yes , yes, thats right.. I deviated..... There i said it.. it is now out there... Well i got down to 77.5 kg in my underwear.. oops tmi...ha ha ha...

Do you know i was 76kg after the birth of my first son... he will be 14 in july... that is how long it has been since i was this size... Technically the last time i was that size was last week because i am 81 kg now.. ha ha ha ha...

Anyway my dilema started last week, my tom was and still is overdue, 4 weeks now, sorry if its a bit tmi .. but forgive me.. anyway hubby was due back and i decided i would use some contraception to delay its already delayed arrival... bad idea... Now there have been several theories put to me as to why i fell off the wagon... here they are:
  • My body is shocked at my weight loss and as it has been nearly 14 years since i was in this weight range , my period is awol..
  • The unexpected addition of contraception (Nuva ring) i havent used this for about 12 months, since hubbies snip snip...
  • Im pregnant
  • I needed a mental health break....
Ha ha ha ha..

Well i know i am not expecting... three tests, yes 3.... so sad.. well they have all proved negative, but that would make such interesting chatter for the family, as i have stated hubby has had the snip... he he he... would have made the weekend with his family very very interesting...

Anyway, it has been a very educational deviation, i now know i have no desire for pizza, or creamy sweets, Really in all honesty i have no desire for any take away, creamy alcohol is out of the question too, lollies and so so many things i didnt try but now know i do not like regardless.. and that is sincere.. The only thing that tasted any good was CHOCOLATE... :)

I got such bad tummy cramps with non cohens food and my tongue is sore..i think from all the salt in the llittle amount of proccesed food i ate. Any one else experienced a sore tongue after deviating..? Or am i just a Freak....:p

I also know that i will have a hard time deviating again, i felt awful, it wasnt enjoyable, and as i said the cramps were bad and i felt sick on the days i deviated thursday night when we had pizza for dinner, i actually felt ill all night and at one stage tried to talk my self into being sick... i just wanted it out of me...i felt so ill, i wondered if i had food poisoning, but alas it stayed down, regardless of my trusted accomplice the toilet bowl smelly ( always worked when i was expecting.... nothing like toilet cleaner to set me off) oops sorry more tmi......i actually ran home friday afternoon just to have a cohens lunch so i would feel better...

This deviation however has renewed my determination and given me a refreshed and rejuvinated feeling.. I was so terribly exhausted before this, i mean, it was so bad, I ached all over, it also crept into the bedroom.... I felt that my husband may as well of had a blow up doll.. ha ha ha..

Now as all cohenites know once on the program and committed 100% things are pretty easy going, habits and social events are the hardest hurdles.. but you would think after 5 months deviation free nothing could sway me... But something had changed, i wasnt having self sabotaging thoughts, it wasnt because i was unable to connect with all you darling people on the forum, something changed, i was so miserable and depressed, i tried to go shopping with my hubby but it was a disaster, i changed my multi vitamins a few weeks back but that hadnt helped, I just wasnt myself, My new slimmer self... my husband eventually told me to listen to my body.... maybe i should have removed the contraception but that connection didnt occour to me until after i deviated...

So here i am, contraception free, deviation full and happy in mind... My body will feel 100% once the program has cleansed me again... I dont regret my deviation and i shant dwell on the delay it will cause on my journey... I shall remember my experiences and learn from them... So now my cohens journey continues..... i have many things to keep me occupied over the next few days and the biggest help is having power to the laptop...yay..

Once again thank you all for listening and i see i have lots of new names and many many posts to catch up on... Be strong and be kind... Be good to yourself, you deserve it...

Oh Chelle! I would like to tell you that life gets simpler & easier as you get older but we all keep on having challenges, keep making mistakes, keep on learning. I was hoping by now (55) that it would be a breeze but......it's not. I think it gets better & I am happier now than ever but it's still not easy. Take care & look forward to you being back in that zone. The last few months will reinforce just how good you do feel on Cohens. I know it did for me! Cheers, cate
 
blah blah blah

Day 4 all is good.. My 1st 100% day yesterday and i feel great... If i ignore the headaches.... ha ha ha ha..... My printers fried i fear so i am online researching the possible replacement... not that i can afford it but i ask my self can i afford not too... ha ha ha... I also have to type out the budget... grrr.... not that hubby pays much attention to my efforts, but at least i know whats whats.. I was reading posts on the new you forum and found many people have lost their periods, especially when thay have had a lot of weight to loose, i have also emailed the clinic too so i will see what their opinion is...
bit of a crazy email.. but hey, i feel sane and crazy at the same time... i feel like myself again.. its great....

Bridezilla is back into her old posting tricks.... seriously i think she must think im dumb....

anyway enought waffling.. i better go will catch up again this afternoon... take care everyone...

Hey Chelle

I just wanted to say how great your doing!
WOW!!! Your more than half-way there to your goal weight!

I wouldn't stress about those extra few kg's you put back on as they will fall off once your back on the program for a week! I remember Rosemary at the clinic said that if you deviate you will instantly put 3kg's back on (it's fluid) and they will come off once your back on to it again!

Congratulations on such a Stella effort!
I know it is REALLY hard to get back on the Wagon again when you fall off! It's like oooowwwwwww I can eat whatever I like for a couple of days! When I deviated on Cohen's the first time I got really hot and my heart would race and make me feel sick. I know it is SO bad when I get that feeling and I cant wait for my One month mark of being on the New program- I have already lost 20.5cm by the second week! I am anticipating my ticker will be down at least 10kgs in 1.5 weeks. So wish me luck :)

Take care and let me know how you go

ha ha ha.. Im a twihard... So sad... ha ha ha warning, dribble.. ha ha ha

Oh thanks Nicole, i have seen your exciting updates on Fb, i just havent been able to respond.... I hope all is going well for you on your cohens journey...

i had a procedure under local yesterday and am still feeling a bit whacked out... I am back on track, mum took me for a cleansing shopping trip into perth on the weekend and that has helped me refocus, besides she bought me a cute pair of heels ( Confession i love heels, now at least i can wear them without feeling like i am crushing the balls of my feet into dust) ha ha ha ha.. Any way i have these cute shoes and nothing to wear with them, so i need to shrink and buy new clothes...

So the move is getting closer... my oh my nicole you must be so excited... i wish you both all the very best and my apologies that i have been a bit quiet of late.. Bloody technology, i am lost without my pc.... I may live in the metro area but with 4 kids its awfully hard to just pop in and borrow some ones computer with out being very noticable and intrusive......

A note to all .... i hope everyone enjoyed the the peace and quiet... Im back now.. ha ha ha ...

Oh so excited i have pre ordered my Twilight dVD set... On our trip into the city on satiurday i also visted borders, oh i could have bought out there twilight stock but controlled myself.... ha ha ha ... still managed to buy 2 twilight books... ha ha ha.... Any other Twihards out there? any one?..... I am currently re-reading the saga and find it just as addictive the 2nd time around... nearly finished breaking dawn again... Any one else out there as addicted as i am? another reason to stay focused i want the boxed hardcovers and the companion book .... god as i type this i see how sad i am ... ha ha ha ... Cant help myself...i love the movie and cant wait to see "new moon" in december cant get my hands on those tickets soon enough, sending out feelers for any one who wants to make a date of it... ha ha ha... nothing like a good girlie movie with the girls.. besides i will be 31 and youve got bugger all chance of me going to a teeny bob movie alone no matter how good i will be looking by then... ba ha ha ha.. Thankgod i am married, i dont now how i might behave if i didnt have my very own brand of heroin... Kel, my hubby,I love him dearly, miss him heaps too.... okay well now you have all had a laugh.. i hope you all have a good night/day...

Be good, be kind and be strong... I shall rememeber to qoute myself all day tomorrow.. I will not fall off the wagon again, i shall finish this journey with my friends... we will reach our goals...

Big hugs and Thanks
Love and hugs
Chelle
 
Hey Chelle, so nice to hear such determined words. I love reading diaries like yours that I can draw inspiration from. Keep texting...at least I will be reading :) Congratz on your weight loss so far. We have pretty much the same amount of weight to lose from now :)
 
Hey Chelle

Thanks for your words you really are a sweetie!

I just weighed myself today and I have lost 11kgs in 4 weeks (a bit disappointing but never mind).

So glad that your back on the band wagon again and staying strong! I think it makes it much harder to start again when you fall off. You think about all the nice things and then compaire it to salad lol (well I know at least I do).

I have decieded now that I am past the one month spot I am going to weigh myself every week

Take care and I hope you are being kind to yourself :)

hi Chelle

Hi Chelle...

I am really trying to stay non-deviating..... why is that words can hurt me so much... ::cuss:at 50 you think I was over that stuff, but I don't see any advantage in discussing it with the person concerned... thanks for listening to my drivel... you kept me inspired and on track this aftermoon...

I really aiming to start the refeeding program on Monday 6th April..so deviating is not an option....

Or I will be on this feeding plan for ever...

Let me know if this gets to you ....Twihard ... maybe you could use it for your new name on this site...

Hope you are feeling a bit better tomorrow..

Lots of love :seeya:
mum x x x
 
I mean it this time.....

Okay.. so it has been an interesting few weeks... honesty...5 weeks.. ouch that sounds awful, but whats worse is the 10 kilos my scales tell me i have put on...grrr... The lump in my leg was a lot bigger then they thought it was and took so much longer to get over, then i had expected.... I have shed an extra 100kg's.. ?.... I resigned from my wedding duties and friendship, well rather she resigned the friendship on face book.... but anyway thats a bit of MEOW.... um i have offloaded some emotional dead ends and have finally found the light... so no big goal, but i am feeling so much lighter and my head feels so much clearer...


I have nailed myself to the wagon this time, no jumping or falling allowed.... and i love horses so i am not about to steer this wagon off a bridge... ha ha ha...

Well i will go and snoop around the threads and see how every one else got on over the easter break....

Thanks everyone..

Chelle
 
Chelle -

Easter a wedding and well my birthday derailed me... so I 've been off 3 and a few days but today I am 100% for the first time. Vitamins, Water and everything....

We can do this together. Do you have to get a new program because of the gain... did you really gain 10k or was that a typo? 10k seems like a lot in 5 weeks, but even so you know it will come off fast with being 100

I'm up too from my lowest so I've got to get down.

I like what you said about being on the wagon... I'm there!

We can do this!
