Fatty.2 : Revenge of the chub.

Nice piccies.

About your mum. Yes i think we all know that the key has to come from within. But you know triggers can come from all and any directions. One of the things that led me to giving up smoking was working on a telephone survey thing about cigarette smoking. It took a while to get through to me but gradually i came around to the idea to quit again.

I am not suggesting that you get on your mother's back about it. Just her seeing you lose weight, might be all the trigger she needs. Who knows what will work. When i was doing those surveys, i had no intention of giving up smoking. lol

Anyway, i had another question for you. Is the avatar picture you? I can never tell who those pictures are? If people use pictures of themselves or some ideal person they'd like to be or some hero.
 
Love your pics.
You're so pretty.
I think i spy a granddad in the background of one of your pics. He's sitting in a grandpa-like manner.

Sounds like you're really happy to be back in Portsmouth.
Good luck with your WI and have a great Tuesdayyy.
 
FortyFour, thanks for advice about mum. Have tried talking to her but she is *very* defensive about her weight and feels that i'm rubbing in my success if I try to help her! Will keep on at her though :D And yes, my avatar is me!

Caffffeine, thank you :beating: You're very sweet x And yus, well done, Grandpa-spotter!
 
No. i'm not saying to keep on your mum at all. That's what i meant by motivation coming from within. Nagging is counterproductive most of the time. Something, who knows what, will trigger her to have another go, but if the triggers are out there, if she sees them, one might just find its mark. No one knows what will prompt your mum to have another go but whatever she does, i hope its going to be different from what she did before because that seems not to have worked. But in my case, its taken all these years to realise that i have to be vigilant through thick and thin. I think keeping that mental attitude that keeps you motivated to stay on target, even after you've reached your goal, must be tricky. But i'm going to really try to do this for the long haul. Something has always upset your mum's focus. I don't know what. Maybe she doesn't know what. But having an awareness that things can come from left field can hopefully prevent me at least from getting sideswiped by it. I don't want to give up. I don't want to be fat anymore.

I'm not sure if i'm just confusing hte issue. But essentially i hope your mum finds her motivation again and in the meanwhile, we can only really stay focussed on our own goals, can't we.

Gee I didnt' mean to ramble so much.

re the picture, well you are really pretty. Lucky you.
 
I see what you mean about my mum now, thank you :) And thank you for the compliment!

House-hunting is stressing me out. Only have 7 weeks to find a new place to rent (for 5 people) and I'm the only one looking, despite requesting the others to help out. Feel very frustrated. Want to get to the gym but literally have no time. Worked a night last night, then I'm working in half an hour and going straight from work to meet a friend. Wont get done there til after the gym is shut. Then tomorrow I have a 2 hour driving lesson and then house-viewings and then work until 10pm. Arghhhh!

Wearing my sulky pants today, fo realz.
 
HeY Hana - pretty & sunny pix - love them!!

I can totally symphatize you as far as flat hunting is concerned...it s a miiiiisssssion.....i ll send you some good luck vibes.

OMG it is so beautiful! I just bought my first home too and moved in ...which has totally killed me so far as schoolwork is concened I've had to stay up all night twice this week -_- Our bathrooms look so similar! I totally love that curvy step thing too.
 
Thankkk you, sexy mamas! I'm very pleased with it :) Moving in in 6 weeks--I hate packing!! Need to find a bed as well! Nighttttmare!

Today I am going to see the show "Blood Brothers" in Portsmouth which should be fun. Going for lunch first but gonna have a big salad at home first so I'll only have a starter or something tiny. Then I'm coming home and going to get my butt to the gym! And again tomorrow. Have had a while off because of work and being at home but need to get back into the swing of things!

Yesterday I made the recipe fortyfour put up on the vegetable cooking club thread which was LOVELY. The recipe is in "The Club" part of the forum for those who want to join in or cook the recipes :D

Then I'll be eating dinner alone tonight I think..Yank is at work til 10pm and I don't want to wait that late to eat. Hate going to bed on a full tummy.

The walk to the theatre is arouuuund 25 mins so that'll be a bit of exercise!

Have a good day, everyone :)

P.S. My face huuuurts. You know when you have your laptop in your lap in bed and you move your knees and the laptop comes crashing down onto your face. Will def have a black eye in the morning.
 
oMG BLOOD BROTHERS.
I hope you enjoy it.
I cry like a little bitch during 'tell me it's not true'.
ahhurrrr.

<3
 
Hey Hana!!! I M SOOO happy you found a place - it loooks awesome wooohoooo! :hurray:
Bless u for dropping the laptop...been there done that - hahaha!!! hope it didnt give you that black eye!!!
hugs x
 
No black eye this morning! Woop!

Literally just got home from the gym and feeling GREAT! Working out gives you such a buzz :D Haven't had anything to eat today yet..Woke up late and went straight to the gym :p Will go make a large late-lunch I think.

And nowwww, a photo of the sweaty beast that is Sunflowerrr!
 
Looking sweaty, but *feeling* good!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Made healthy food choices today--Am hoping to weigh in tomorrow after my early shift. Someone is "shadowing" me tomorrow so I can train them which is going to be awkward. In my line of work you just *do* rather than *think* if that makes sense. I'm not sure how easy it will be to walk someone through all the procedures and techniques. A little worried but should be okay :)

Maaaaan, I fucking hate bananas. Needed a high energy snack before the gym though and it's pretty much all I could find :( Not tasty at all.
My shift this morning went very well, got home about 9am so worked on my Holocaust Writing essay and then napped for a few hours as I have work again later. Nowww it's about 2pm and I'm nomming on my nannnna and then going to the gym. Have been inspired by all you lovely weight-loss ladies (and men!). Reading diaries gives you that boost you need to drag your butt there!!

Am about to go weigh myself..I know it's going to be BAD. I can tell that my clothes are tighter.....

URGHHHHH :piggy: :nopity:

Yeah, it's bad. I am back up to 199lbs. This is not good. Maaaan, last Summer I got down to 175..I was so close to my goal of 160.

Instead of being sad, I'm going to take my frustration out on the exercise equipment at the gym. I'm really disappointed in myself. God knows how much I weighed before I kicked up the exercise/eating a few weeks back. :ack2:

So, again, I'm 5'10 and 199lbs with a goal of 160. Guess I'm starting again! I started off around 214 so I'm still down a stone but it's pretty pathetic considering how long I've been here and how hard I worked last Summer.

Back on it!

Breakfast: banana (100)
Lunch: rice (190) new potatoes (125)
Dinner:
Snacks:
Total:
Exercise: burnt 400 calories at the gym. 5 mile bike ride/cross trainer/weights.

Weight: 199lbs

Argh, wrote a long post and it deleted it. Dammit.

Anyway, went to the gym for about 40 mins. Burnt 400 calories, did a 5 mile bike ride there as well as 50 sit-ups and the cross trainer. Weighed myself on the gym scales which are high-tech and with clothes and shoes I'm actually 198lbs. Lost a pound doing nothing! mwahahhahaahaha. So yeah. Still pissed off but glad I went to the gym.
 
Hi Sunflower,

Dont' worry about the slip in the weight loss journey. It isn't that you fell off the wagon it is about getting back on it again and saying 'Giddyup'-lol. You can do this!! You will get to your goal!! Keep up the hard work!!
