Petals diary

Hi Petal - what the people say they think you don't need to lose more, what is the intent? I don't quite get the situation. It does sound pretty inconsiderate to comment on someone's weight for the most part, though. Unless you're a doctor or something.

I like to think in the 8 months I am working on the systems that will remain in place when I do get to goal .

Good for you! I know you are. Salad instead of a burger is always a good idea.

How goes the decluttering? I finished my utility room "remodel", not sure what's next.
 
Hi Cate , LaMa, Jack and Rob,
Cate agreed it's a great question. I think I will adopt it next time I am in a cake shop . I think the idea is we start to be that healthy person so we don't need to think it becomes our habit.
Jack I don't really know , it could stem from many things , the shock you look so different , weight loss especially at my age can have an aging effect . I don't think it has aged me at all but I know my neck is getting really loose maybe they see that. Could be jealousy too . I have had a lot of comments now . Mostly all lovely .
Rob, the decluttering is a little slower than I like but it's getting there . I have so many cupboards I can do a small one while cooking and they all add up. I have set aside some stuff for charity now.
Freezer is the next big task for next weekend I hope.

I'm back totally on my plan now the last few days and feeling good and focused. Lots of fruit salad fish meat veg. Need to get back to soup making habits though .

Thanks for reminding me: I need to pack up some stuff as well. Glad to hear you´re back on track and feeling good!
 
What a gall, those people who are telling you how much weight you should or shouldn't be losing! :flame: Nunna! their! business!
I mean - seriously, what right...? Of everybody in my whole life, I think only my mother - no longer with us, alas! - would be allowed to make such a comment. Oh, well - and a doctor, or similar professional, if there was any reason for such to be involved.

I really like "what would a healthy person do?" as a touchstone for gauging action - and I admire you forthe decluttering. (I must do some before bedtime.)

Good for you! Off to a good New Year's start.

Hey, I just noticed that you are coming up on 2,000 comments on your diary, you are a popular lady!
 
We survived the storm it has passed over us now Although still windy and so much rain . It was pretty wild at times . thanks Rob.

thanks Em, Jack ,Amy and LaMa .
I did a nice walk yesterday. was hoping to get a short one today but the weather is not safe to go out .

I am suffering with tooth ache not sure if it’s sensitive gums or a tooth or an old crown that needs replacement. Have an appt next week at least . It seems to only cause problems when I eat at least . Suppose I could not eat for a week that would get my goal nearer ! Haha . I am letting lots of food either warm up to room temp or cool to room temp . OTC pain meds help at least .

I am extremely tired it was a long day so looking forward to switching on my Elec blanket now and heading to bed soon .
 
Thanks ladies . Yes slept like a log thankfully.
I left my berries defrosting in the kitchen rather than fridge last night and when I woke I took my yoghurt out so it was room temp by time I had breakfast . Let coffee sit for 10 mins too . No major pain this morn . Hope if I keep that up it will be ok . I can’t do tooth ache . I would rather give birth !!
I am good about going to the dentist anyway and had last check up in August . I will book in for a clean now too after I see dentist next week .
 
I don't mind dentist visits at all, thankfully, but thanks for reminding me I ought to get an appointment for a checkup. Fingers crossed your tooth remains peaceful!
 
And now you are, popular lady.
