Hi guys!
This week has been terribly long. Bella was right, I'm bored to tears! It's nice to be home and have time for myself but I'm tired of having nothing to do.
This bored mood kept me away from exercising most of the week. The positive thing is I'm down 1 lb. So after all it was a positive week.
Tom is giving me crazy cravings and I really have to work hard to keep them at bay. Yesterday I HAD to eat some cheese. Fortunately I stopped after two or three bites and ate an orange instead. Not quite as satisfying but much better diet-wise.
Monday I'll be back to work. They changed my schedule so I'll have to work till late on wednesdays and I hope I'll be able to eat properly on those days. Both lunch and dinner away from home are not easy to manage.
Have a great day everybody!

9th week
This week I've been back at work. It has been crazy! I hardly had the time to exercise. But I'm making up for it today, I'm going running with a friend of mine.
I've lost another lb. I'm going down slowly, but steady. I think that's best.
I gotta go now, but I'll be back tonight to post in all your diaries!

The weekend has been both good and bad.
The bad side was that I ate a gigantic pizza with lots of extra cheese. I just couldn't resist.
The good sides were many.
Saturday night we went out with some friends and almost all of them (more than 10 people) ordered fries. Not just simple fries. Chili fries. My favorites. And some of them ordered a kind of fried cheese wich I absolutely adore and would kill to eat. It was hard resisting the temptation to order it too, but I made it. And I also was strong enough to refuse to taste some of theirs fries when they offered them. I was very proud of myself!
On Sunday I went to church and I met a friend of mine who I hadn't been seeing in some time. She immediately noticed that I had lost weight. I was hecstatic! It was the first person who noticed without being told by me that I'm on a diet. It really made my day!
My right foot is hurting like hell. I don't know what's wrong with it but it hurts abd it's difficult to walk. I had to give up running for the weekend and went biking instead. Not quite as funny from my point of view. I guess I'll have to go to the doctor and see what's wrong.
I hate going to the doctor!
This week I should get down to 81 kgs which would take me to a total loss of 6kgs. I know I'm not even halfway through, but I'm so proud of myself. In the past I've been on a diet zillions of times and never got any relevant result. Now I can't believe I'm the same person. I never was so good about the fact of losing weight, so self-confident, so relaxed. Yes, relaxed. I used to be always nervous because I couldn't eat what other people ate and because I was afraid of what I could have looked like if I lost weight. Fat was an armour. I could blame fat for all of my problems.
Fortunately my boyfriend came along and he has helped in so many ways, he taught me to love myself and now I understand that losing weight isn't going to change my life or who I am. I'm not doing it to be beautiful, or to be like all the others girls. I'm not doing it for others. I'm doing it for myself. And I never felt so great. I know I can do it and I will do it, even if it's difficult. I believe in me. This is so new for me...
I hope I have not bored you to tears...I just needed to say this to someone I know will understand.
Have a great week, all of you, and thanks for being such extraordinary people.
Love,
India

If there's one thing better than when people notice your weight loss, is when it's the people that aren't even aware of your motives.
I'm aiming for 81kg this week too, we can do it! My last couple of weeks have been lackluster at best.
And you're entitled to have something bad every now and then and shouldn't feel guilty about it.

Wow India~
You have won a major battle. So many people think that losing weight is all about just that.....weight.
And so many times it is so much more than that. I am very proud of you and your slow and steady progress. You can virtually be assured of never gaining that weight back.
I also can totally relate to you on the "fat" being a protective thing.
So many times before I would lose weight and as soon as "the guys" would notice I would blow back up like a whale.
I just lacked the confidence in myself.
That is not the case anymore. And it is good to see that that is not the case for you as well.
Sorry to hear that your heel is hurting you. And your right, even if you don't like going to the doctor, it is best to get it checked out.
Hope it all turns out to be just a bruise.
I'll catch ya later.

First off, great job on resisting those fries.....those always get me too, plain old fries (esp from McDonalds YUM) or cheese fries....both are a huge temptation for me. It's often hard to not try a couple here or there!
It's always so exciting when someone notices your weight loss. I've only lost a few pounds in the past couple months and I absolutely LOVE when people I work with tell me I look like I've lost a bunch of weight....it really is encouragement and motivation to keep going on despite the slow weight loss. 16 kg is a LOT of weight so be very very proud of yourself for sticking to it!

10th week
First of all, thanks everyone for all your encouragement! It's really important for me!
Keepitoff, I wish I had already lost 16 kgs! That would be almost all of my goal! Unfurtunately I have only lost 6 so far.
Today was my 10th official weigh in. I've been on a diet for more than 2 months now and I feel great. I've lost 0.7 kg this week, which is more than I was aiming for. I usually lose 0.5. So this takes me down to 80.8 kgs, where I haven't been in ages!
My total loss is 6.4 kgs. I'm soooooooooo happy!
I think I might buy something new to wear at Easter since everything I own is starting to look baggy.
Gotta go, will be posting in your diaries later.

I finally managed to find time to post in all your diaries! Yay! I've been as busy as a bee lately, and it's really hard to keep track of everything.
This morning I went to the supermarket. I usually try to avoid the chips aisle but today I was thinking about something else and I found myself among endless rows of chips. I wanted to buy some sooo badly, but luckily managed to walk away...It was really hard though.
The weekend's going to be crazy. Sunday is my mum's birthday and she's taking us all out for dinner at my fav restaurant. I know I'll eat like pig. Oh well, I'll make up for it during the week.
Talk to you later!

Way to go on getting outta that chip aisle without a bag of them! What willpower you have! AWESOME!!!
Have a great time celebrating your mom's b-day. It's not every day that you can celebrate like that so have fun with it.
Hi India,
I've been reading your diary and congratulations on all your weight loss. I love that your doing it in such a healthy way by not aiming to loose large amounts in short periods of time. That's been my downfall in the past, but now i'm aiming to loose weight like your doing, 1 to 2 pounds a week.

My mum bday was great. We went to my fav restaurant and I ate all the things I love. Soooo satisfing. Today was a very long day, but I managed to scoop up enough will power to bike (indoor) for half an hour.
My dad bought me a very fancy pink pedometer and I've started to use it today. I did 5482 steps for a total of 248 cals burnt. It's nice to know that!
I wish I could go running but it keeps raining
TTYL!
