Hi Misty
Welcome to my diary. Thank you for visiting me and for the good wishes. How sweet of Natalie Jo to say such sweet things. I hope that you have a merry Christmas too.
I hope that you are inspired soon - whatever the source. Whenever I have moments of weakness when I question the plausability of what I am trying to do I go to the following link and read about Charlie Walduck. He is my weight loss hero.
I also do google searches for his name.
Take care
Best wishes
Margaret

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I hope your day has been good. I've noticed that your weight is still low despite a bit of naughty eating. That's always nice to see. I haven't dared weigh myself since Saturday--I'm far too afraid!!
That sent chills up and down my spine reading about the Yorkshire ripper. The police certainly were inept in catching the guy. I read about it on Wikipedia. It said they interviewed him 9 times before he was arrested--even when a friend told police he suspected him, they lost the lead in a mountain of paperwork. And even though he fit the profile (once they'd realized the Wearside accent thing was a hoax), they still never arrested him until they practically caught him in the act. Those must have been scary times to live in Leeds.
Congrats on the new bra! You must have to go to a special store to get that cupsize. I've never seen anything beyond a DD in stores here.

Merry Christmas and thanks for visiting me. I hope that you are all having a great day. I am having a very pleasant day. I did manage to get out for a 6.4 mile walk this morning which has made me feel that I havent been too bad today - despite the Christmas pudding and cream!

I suppose that the weighing thing is a major difference between us - I was too afraid not to weigh myself - especially after Sunday's excesses (my friends would have had difficulty in putting on a more fattening spread).
Leeds is just one of those places that I cannot think of without remembering that time there. You would laugh if you could see the way that I used to barricade myself in my room there. The road that I was in junctioned onto Chapeltown Road and it was a really dodgy area.
Our normal shops dont hold bras that go anywhere near me. This has been the case for a long time. Luckily Newcastle has quite a good shopping centre and it isnt too big so you can achieve some decent purchasing in a comparitively short time. I got my bra at Bravissimo which is a specialist bra shop for ladies with big boobs.
You go in and ask for a fitting and they work out the best size for you and bring into the changing room things that fit and fulfill any other criteria you may specify. They even fasten your bra up for you and make sure that you are wearing it right. Maybe you should pop in there one Wednesday!!!
Becky
Thanks.
Natalie Jo
I imagine that everyone is having at least one major treat today. I thoroughly enjoyed my Christmas pudding. I hope to be nearer back on track on Friday. I doubt that I will manage it before then - but I am trying to be good in a naughty sort of way.

Hi Sarah
I did enjoy my Christmas, and enjoyed my food too.
I dont think that I could reasonably expect to behave better on a Christmas Day. I was pretty pleased with how it went from a diet perspective. My only real flaws were the turkey skin and the Christmas pudding with cream. Since you only have that at Christmas and I love it - I really couldnt justify missing out.
I hope that you enjoyed your Christmas too.
Take care
Love
Margaret

Got in a morning walk – again continued the little extra walking for Newcastle because of both the previous day’s Christmas pudding and the fact that we have decided to go home Thursday and that will be a day with no walking!!!!! My cousin who was raised in the same house as me (and is therefore closer than most cousins could ever be) came for a family meal with her adult daughters and their families. I did the bulk of the catering and made things fairly healthy and not fattening. My mother however decided that we needed extra things like cauliflower cheese which she made (despite knowing how I put on weight with cheese - as if we didn’t already have enough vegetables). Various things like cake and chocolates were also produced by my mother - but I have been strong.
General Data:
Morning walk = 6.4 miles
Round the block = none
Extra exercises = none
Weight = 12st 4.0lbs (i.e. 172.0 pounds)
Steps = 20,566
Distance = 7.79 miles
Remembered to take normal vitamin / supplements
Continued my creaming regime – missed one bio-oil massage.
My Food / Drink:
1 banana
3 weetabix, sweetener, 350 ml skimmed milk
2 large handfuls honey Shreddies
Roast turkey breast meat, 3 small pieces potato, swede, carrots, onion, green beans, celery, gravy
Fruit salad (no syrup) made with small amount of fresh melon, 6 small segments of mandarin orange and quite a few grapes
1 large handfuls of raisins
2 litres of cold water
some diet cola

hmm maybe thats one of the many points i go wrong we have christmas pudding on Cristmas day, Boxing day, New Years day and Easter Sunday and Easter Monday oh well its only 5 meals a year!! LOL
Sounds like your doing well so far today as well resisting all the bits that your mother brought over
Sarah
Well done for resisting your mum's temptations. It's very difficult when others aren't following the same line of thought as you. My hubby has a few kilos to lose, that's all (middle-age spread, really) and my kids have nothing to lose as they do so much sport. So it's very difficult when everyone else is enjoying ice-creams, cakes, chocolates and all the other goodies we have at this time of year. Personally, I would have cracked for the cauliflower cheese, so I think you are just fantastic having the will-power to stick to what you believe in (your weight-loss project) and look ahead to the future pleasure of being slim, rather than the 3 minute pleasure of all that cheese.
Well done

Thanks for visiting Sarah and Auburn and your words of encouragement.
I adore Christmas pudding and the remains are in the fridge. We are staying with my parents until tomorrow so temptation is everywhere. Hubby and I are sitting in another room avoiding seeing what the parents are eating.
Hubby is as big as I was at the start of the year and I am still chunky. The rest of the family (parents and numerous cousins) are all so slim it is silly. The really difficult thing is that I have discovered by weighing every day that I put on weight worse with cheese than anything else. Calories do not seem to give the whole picture at all. Every time I eat anything with cheese I seem to put on 2 pounds that day - no matter how saintly my other food or how much walking I do. It happens with a single dairylea cheese slice that is individually wrapped and you cannot weigh it wrong. It is just wierd! After it happened enough times I decided that I ought to consider cheese to be almost poisonous for me. It is just not worth it.
My mother knows this and knows that I love cheese. I thought it really mean of her to effectively poison the cauliflower. I said "I cannot have that" and she said "I know that you cant - but everyone else can!".
I love my family - but I will be quite happy to go home tomorrow.

This is where you discover that in fact you were adopted at birth, and that you are really the long-lost descendant and uncontestable heir to the throne of some obscure (but ever so wealthy) Eastern European nation. Hey, when you come to reclaim what is rightfully yours, don't forget who your friends are!
