i can see a rainbow

Jess so sorry about all the anxiety about your Dad. Stress is a weight loss killer! I know...I know!! I agree with Cate...I often write things down in emails when I am upset with someone or something..but never send them...it does take the edge off the situation and I can review my ideas before I go off the deep end...which is a lot when I am stressed...which is all the time! haha

That is awesome that you are feeling slimmer! Keep up the great work!

Your terrace looks wonderful! I love the bamboo...total changed the vibe and made it into a relaxing space.

Afew things now just to mention.
On August 1st is my bday but on the 2nd its going ot be a saturday night , only girls night out clubbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hurray:
It was my idea.I told my Bf that i REALLY want to go dancing and drinking.like the old days before we had to get serious!She said ok!!so G is taking Mario to their home and he is going to sleep there with the husband and her 2 kids.When we come home we are coming to my house so no kids in the morning yelling and we will get our real lives back on Sunday afternoon!!!im so happy!1!last time i went out was like 3 years ago/.///////
im going tommorow to see if i can find anything nice to wear for next week,since the sales are on...SALES!!!i am really mad about sales.It makes me CRAZY>>>im a different person when sales are on.i cant explain...i go nuts...i feel like an animal let loose!!!When the sales are on i am a DANGEROUS shopper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!last night i couldnt sleep..i was thinking of a pair of shoes i saw in a shop with 60 percent off.You get the picture!!!!i think i shall go real early to see if ican find something good.Have you seen some american movies that these departmental stores have clearance sales and they open the doors in the morning and the people stand on each other push and pull????Well i dont do that but i Feel like that when we get the Sales.im sure there must be a condition for this!!!!

I must mention i have discovered a wonderful recipie for grilled chicken kebabs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!with pineapple......!!!!and slipmming!Plus i have a new trick for salads.
i get all my ingerdients , wash and DRY SUPER well.I cut the lettuce ,cabbage ect and i stuff mason jars with it tightly.Then i store in the fridge.I have a ready salad whenever i need one!its so great,it has kept me on track so many times when i was hungry!Must LOVE pinterest!!!

Jess, I love hearing you so excited! I am so glad you are having a night out with the girls for your birthday! Wonderful news :D I'm glad you're not quite as crazy as in those movies where people go absolutely insane on sales days. I hate shopping for clothes & shoes, really hate it & so does my husband (who is also G). Have fun shopping sweetie xoxo
 
I've seen the mason jars salads on Pinterest...I was wonder how they held up and the chicken kabobs sound yummy. I need some new healthy ways to eat chicken...I need to research! Feel free to follow me on there if ya want!

Your girls night out sounds wonderful! I haven't had one of those in years and years. Enjoy your birthday plans! Sounds great!

I am not much of shopper either Cate...what is wrong with us...I thought that was a requirement for being a women?? haha

laptop didnt die after all .it was the battery charger though.So we bought a new one and all is fine.
I have been supe busy.I have 2 children parties to organize and make all the decoratins for.The parties are for September,but time is shortforthese thing.I have loads of cutting printing sticking folding ,to do.I amnow on the stage of researchng the themes thatthe boys want.One is for sure a pirate party.the other probablya super heroes
Here is my blog linkof mine.HAs all the parties i did.I LOVE doing them.i am getting better at it as well!

jasperaki.blogspot.com
Then i think i have mentioned that i am not acctually married.So last minute thinking we where searching for a church to marry us at the end of September.The church we want didnt have an available date.InOcterthe priest said he could but thats to late ,so i got all excited then dissaponted.But we are going to call the priest again The firstdays of October he told me,to close a date for the next summer.I want July 18th
the little stone church is Nothing fancy.No gold and glamour.It right on a little cliff on the beach.So after the wedding we arent having a reception ,but a summer beach party.No catering and tables not Beach wedding reception.Just a beach party!So i am already imagining everything real simple.I wont even wear high heels(a lovely pear of summersandals)or a "normal " wedding dress" (a dress of course in whiteor beige) i must say i like it when i see others do it the traditional way but its just not ME.Plus we have been like married AND have a 5 year old son so i would really liketo skip the over romantism and just really have a fun day and night.We willinvite anyone we want not worringabout expences since the party is onthe beach.Iwill have invitations printed (guess whois going to make them!) but not wedding invitations .Iwas thinkingmorelikewe are having a beachparty andyou are invited ,dont forget to bring towel andswim suit ,time day ect andthen at the end i'lllike have a ps dont come in beach clothes though cause before the party we're getting married.Something like that.
Okwell i got all exited again.But i must focusonthe childrens parties.Whenthats over i canstart thinking about nest July.
Its really late got togo.Lots of love to all!!!Goodnght!

Oh sweetie. It is romantic! What a beautiful spot! I might gate crash :D I'm excited for you :beating: xoxoxo
 
Hellooooo, coooooeeeeeeey, its me again :) Just read your diary, well done on giving up the evil, evil carbs. They are evil. They must be banned. I have recently got a *thing* for both bread and cheese, I have never craved savory stuff before, I think my taste buds have changed. But, its evil. Evil evil evil, and should be avoided, like all evil things (eg. hitler, justin beiber and lord voldemort).

Anyway, I am cursing you with all my might. Yes, YOU!!! I have come on here just to see how you are doing and comment after seeing Cates post on facebook, but you have got me all inspired again. I was quite happily eating junk until an hour ago, so damn you Jess, damn you haha.

But seriously, I am SO glad to see your back on the diet wagon again :D And ohmygod, what better reason to lose weight than for your wedding <3 <3 <3? That will be a great goal to work towards.

I am so sad to hear that things aren't going well for you at the moment. It must be awful that your Mums been diagnosed with dementia, it is one of the worst illnesses, and you will need a lot of strength to get through it. Sending you lots of love. How is your Mum doing?

As for your Dad, I am going to be blunt, and I'm sorry if you don't like it... But he was a total and utter fucker. He USED you, and I do not beleive that he was capable of feeling emotions the way that normal people do. He turned up on your doorstep, invited himself to live in your home after all those years of never ever being in touch, never asking how you were, never showing an interest in his own grandsons life, and expected you to welcome him like some sort of prodgigal father. He didn't listen to a word you sais, even about little things like olive oil in his cooking, he criticised your parenting, and it sounds like his failed 'business deals' have made your life a lot harder than it was than before he came to live with you. He USED you Jess, don't worry about writing him a letter that might offend him, he deserves to be offended. He only cared about himself x You have to let go, write that letter, punch your pillow, its okay to be angry at him, do not worry about being disloyal to his memory, he was disloyal to you, his own daughter and his own blood. You have to let go. Talk to someone about it xxxxxxx

You were the girl who was always smiling, I remember you saying that. You can be that girl again. You have to just let go of the anger. Happiness is a choice. Act happy. Spend a day smiling. Decide to be like your old self. Laugh, hug, smile and dance and make plans. Make this year the best ever. Exercise those smile muscles. Stress causes wrinkles ;) Be the person you want to be. You can. You can choose right now to be happy, radiate it, infect other people with it, LIVE it.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jess. I love the support we give one another in here. It's good to share your worries & doubts with people who are honest with you, but also are non-judgemental. I think eating junk food makes you feel like junk. Well, it does me. The healthier I eat, the better I feel about myself. Hope the parties went well- I'm sure they would with you organising them. Lots of love xoxo Cate
 
Cate!thank you !!!the parties are in September,i have two of thema week apart.

Well i am very futrated.I just cantseemtoloose weight.This is a very slow weight loss and i dontlikeit.I ordereda dress thatisa zara size large.itdoesntfeetaroundmy bood at all.......icant fitin (again) my to- be (once uppon a time) wedding dress.I cant fit in an orange dress either //////I cant fit in adres i bought last summer,on purpose too small,with the hope that i could wear it this year....
so ...sadly..i have made a desicion.I dont like it.I have mentioned it before that i just cant standit but i am willing to try to ignore my feelings and do it.
i am starting to count calories....i hate even saying it.
im thinking of1200 a day.But the key to mestickng to it(well forawhile at least ) is to plan the meals.Iam working outsome lunches now.Im typing them and then i'll print them.So every day i canchoose what i can eat from the recipies.I have only managed one lunch up till now.i will get to it later on in the day.

Lunches

Tasty chicken salad

200 gr chicken breast boiled ------------------- 390 cal
10 lettuce leaves --------------------- 40 cal
1 cucumber ------------------------ 50 cal
3 red pepers grilled ------------------------- 120cal
2tbsp balsamic vinegar ------------------------------28 cal
1 small onion -------------------------------20 cal

Total calories 648 calories


i must figure out lunches ,diners and breakfast.i dont think there is another way....i only hope that i can do this.
 
Well I managed to get through the day in one piece.Awh...not good a tall.All day i was thinking of food.I managed to stay in my calorie range , i actually felt..SCARED/////how silly.scared cause i must count calories?
i logged on mfp and i have made it out for 1200a day.I put down that will workout 3times a week but i doubt i will.
I have just made tommorows food plan.Breakfast and lunch.I hate that i must plan my food....Does anyone think i will justget used to it?feeling really grumpy/and hungry.

Aww poor sweetie! You'll get used to it! :D It's really the only way to know how many calories you're actually eating. We kid ourselves otherwise & the scales bring out the truth. I often put in what I plan on eating & then change my mind when I see what it says. MFP is a great tool! Accept it Jess & you will be less grumpy about it all. Sending you lots of love xoxo Cate
 
Second day done...i really am struggling to keep this up.I had two boiled eggs for breakfastwithsome oterstuffand 2 pieces of pane chicken for lunch.Plus my coffees i am at 1200 calories.I thought i was dieting all this time but i was actually maintaining...OMG>?>????????????????
Now for dinner i really didnthaveanything for the rest of my family,its sunday and no stores are open,so i had Ikea hotdogs in the freezer....
I started out "of course i am not having any" , then "ok i'll just have 1 " after that "F&^$( it !i'll have two" then " NO NO NO have a good day today dont spoil it." i managed to Not have any////Just awful.I dont know if i am hungry or not.I am thinking of food like crazy,want to eat so bad,but my tummy isnt making noises or any pain.
This is HARD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I dont know if i can do this
 
Jess, I cannot get through on 1200 cals per day, without thinking of food every second. It is not what I want to do. 1200 should not be maintenance for you. Redo your goals to not lose so fast. YOU CAN DO IT. You can lose weight. You just need some consistency & lots of patience xoxo Cate
 
awCate! i was thinking allthis time from April that i am trying to loose weight and i was wonderingWHY i wasnt .And i realize that i was probably eating my maintaining calories.Now i am eating "diet" calories.Now i see the difference.I am not going tokeepeating 1200 only.But at leasttilliget to 89 kg again.Then i'll probably take it easy andupit a bit.I weighed in today95,9....So its probably going right!But still imust repeat myself...i hatecountingcalories.
Today was way better.I was alsoeally buisy.
I enrolled myself today in night school,since i havent finished school wheni should of.I think i have only one year to gobut nightschool gets an extra year.
When i left the office of the headmasterand left,got inmy car i felt scared , i thought "what are you doing?" i was nearlly in tears.I am a mental case ,i tell you.But i think i should give it a try.I dont want to regret not going one day
:confused:
