Same here. My sister and her boys will be visiting me in May and as much as I love them I´d go ballistic if I´d have to share an apartment with them for a week!

Are you living near London Sunflower?

Yes, but she doesn't want to go to London! It's only an hour or so on the train as well.. Am thinking Winchester or the Isle of Wight. We'll see what she agrees to!

Are you going to buy some new clothes as a reward for your efforts? Do you feel better/different?

My body looks completely different. My waist has gone so dinky but still have chunky hips, thighs. From what I remember from last time I lost this much weight my hips/legs were the last thing to go! I've gone down from a size 18 on top to a size 12/14 and I'm back in my size 14 jeans from my size 18 ones too. I don't have any clothes that fit me apart from that one pair of jeans though, which is disheartening as I'm wearing baggy big clothes which means I can't really see my progress unless I'm naked! My mum, bless her, has said she will take me shopping when I'm at goal so hoping to go sometime in April with her!

Well, sister-in-law is AWFUL. I'm hoping it was just because she was really tired yesterday but she is rude, really arrogant, interrupts constantly and was very difficult when we went out for dinner. Yank has gone to work today so I'm up and dressed and leaving her in bed! Being as quiet as physically possible to avoid her waking up! I'm so mean! Hoping she will be better today - I've offered to take her various places but she was very non-committal and I know she has lots of University work to do (as do I!) so we may just find a nice cafe and take our work and hang out together. I spent over £80 on dinner/drinks last night as she wouldn't eat anything I had in the house. I brought all English meals to make so it was different than what she was used to and she wasn't interested at all in trying any of it. Never mind.

Calories yesterday were 1800 and steps were 11,000. Only had two small glasses of wine whilst we were out and didn't have pudding when we were out. Weight still 179 this morning - lets hope I can stay in the 170's for the week!!
 
The cafe and bringing her there to study and not talk sounds like a win/win. Ha.

Yeah, I had an old diary here before when I was a lot heavier too, it's great to know you are not carrying around that much baggage anymore - you've finally managed to offload some along the way. :)
 
Thanks guys - really shocked me! Nice to see I've been heading in the right direction for a while!

So yesterday was not horrendous - she didn't wake up til 11:30 and then we went to meet Yank from work (he got off a little early) and looked around a few museums, the cathedral etc. She tried some English things like treacle tart and I made scones with jam and clotted cream last night. She's still rude and awkward - from what she says she doesn't have a ton of friends and it's not very hard to see why. Trying to be as kind as I can! Plan for today is to go to Winchester to do the Keats walk and check out the cathedral. Food hasn't been horrendous but too many treats.. hoping we will stay in tonight and I'll make stuffed peppers.

Is she so obtuse or is she neurodivergent and having trouble dealing with neurotypical folks?

I think she's just very spoilt and very rude. Yesterday she was a bit better.. She has a boyfriend and is in some societies at college - she's not unable to make friends, she just finds "anyone less smart than me a waste of time". She is very intelligent, and she has some social skills as she was much better company for some of yesterday - she's just not a very nice person, in my opinion! She's only 21 - she'll figure it out and change her attitude I hope. She's not asked me anything about myself at all - not even where I work, etc. All about her!

Had a nice day yesterday but ate too much at lunch - we went out for Italian. Lovely, fatty Italian! We saw Jane Austen's burial place, couple of cathedrals, did the "Keats Walk" which was fun. I have to go to work today so will enjoy a bit of space and cracking on with my work. I have so much to get through!!

It sounds like she's in a comfortable bubble at the moment. It will probably burst at some time. Does Yank get on well with her?

Even with the Italian, your calories are very good so well done.
 
Bit of a sombre day in Southsea today - the news from London is just terrible.. My sister works close to Westminster so we were all trying to get hold of each other. So sad for those people who have died and their families, and the poor policeman. I really hate the sentiment of "he died for our freedom" - well, did he? Or did he just go to work that morning thinking he was going to have another boring day of tourists wanting photos with him and standing about in the rain. He would have acted on instinct and training - he didn't die for our freedom though. He did because of one individual, who was shot before even getting through the building, decided to act that day. That isn't for our freedom. I don't know..

Anyway, the sister-in-law is still driving me insane. Her mum emailed me saying she'd given her a ton of money to treat me and Yank to a meal and day out - funny that. She's literally given us the money she owed us for dinner last night exact to the last penny. Don't think she will be treating us at any point soon!! Supposed to be taking her to the Isle of Wight today but the weather is horrendous - thinking we will have to find some museums and have a lazy day. Joy. The conversation is so stilted and dry. I have nothing else left to ask her - I hate silences!!!

Food was good yesterday considering we ate out - I did a ton of walking so that helped.

Very sad for London.

As for the meanie sister-in-law, she'll be out of your hair soon. I'm sure with age, she'll get a bit nicer. At least she lives far away!!
 
Thanks lovelies.

Just had a gorgeous evening at home with an old friend. She's so lovely - not a bad bone in her body. We had a great time. I made a mezze platter with hummus, asparagus wrapped in parma ham, vegetables to dip and chorizo and breads and meats and cheeses. Was very tasty and so much better than going out for yet moreeee restaurant food. Was lovely. Going to my parents tomorrow for Mother's Day - I'll weigh on Sunday but think I've probably stayed the same or put on a few lbs this week. We'll see.

Breakfast: alpen bar (65)
Lunch: crackers with hummus (217)
Dinner: home-made mezze platter (1013)

Total: 1295
Steps: 17,500
 
I'm glad you had such a lovely evening sweets. That food sounds delicious!
