Put that down, fatty!

Hi There...4.5 pounds in a week is awesome! Wow..sounds like Slimming World will work for you! It is great to want to get healthy and be happy with yourself, but one thing I've learned is that we can be much harder on ourselves than we need to be. You don't look like a whale in your pictures, you look lovely. Gorgeous hair! You're a curvy girl, but those curves are also in the right places, very hour glass figure. Some call that the bombshell look!

So enjoy the success that you will feel as you lose weight, but enjoy that bombshell look that I think you rock too! :)
 
Nicely done on the 4.5 pounds!

I'm going to point out a double standard here. If Jade says it it's a compliment, but if I say it I'm just an old perv. So I will leave it at +1 on what Jade says.

Also you should consider investing in a vaporizer. Smoking anything means taking in really harmful stuff that vaporizing doesn't produce. Disclaimer: I don't know anything about the results of method A vs. method B, but I only know of the added risk of smoking.

Enjoy yourself and don't let me be too big of a downer.
 
Awhhh, you guys :beating: You've made me a happy girl! What lovely comments. Thanks everyone <3

I need to stop being hard on myself--Thanks Jade and Q <3 And Q, don't worry, I smoke the naughty stuff like once every few months. Not a regular occurrence at all. I quit regular cigarettes about 2 months ago and have felt amazing!

Was a little naughty last night but figured it was a bit of a cheat evening after my big loss ;) The excuses have begun already!

Today has looked like this!

B: skipped
L: quorn spag bol leftovers
D: a wrap with lettuce, slice of ham and dairylea (5 syns)

Just got home from work and need to be back there at 7am so am gonna hit the hay! Thanks so much for posting, guys. It's put a big smile on my face.

Am weighing in on Wednesday instead of Friday as my shifts have changed so need to knuckle down for the next few days as only have 5 days to lose weight instead of 7!
 
Hi ya bombshell! Naughty smokes occasionally hey? If I had 2 puffs of a naughty cigarette I would either vomit or turn into a zombie (or both.) I have tried it very occasionally over my lifetime. The 1st time I was 18(it was the 70's!) & last time at my 40th(a chocolate cake our chef had made me!) & every time I turned into a total zombie. At my 40th I couldn't walk or talk so decided I would steer well clear from then on. I would much rather be a chatty party animal after a few bubblies, than a total zombie. Maybe not everyone would agree that's a good thing :blush5: I must have a very low tolerance or something. Pity I didn't have the same intolerance for alcohol! Anyhow, just got side-tracked, thinking about parties, dancing, bands etc. Better scoot! xo Cate
 
Glad that you are smiling, your posts certainly make me smile...you are quite funny. Actually you sound like a very fun person to be around. I could learn a thing or two about learning to be a bit more fun. I'm so serious most of the time.

Keep up the good work! Looks like yesterday you did great!

I got some birthday cookies from a friend a couple of years ago...called to say thank you as I was happily eating one and he said...ummm Jade you do know what kind of cookies that those are? I thought it was about time you had some of those. Funny thing was that I had brought a couple to work as a little mid day treat!
 
Hello Sunflower,

I'm new here but I've learned quite a lot from your posts. I like the idea of writing down what you've eaten during the day. I think that could be very useful. I wish you luck on all your goals. I'm a pretty positive person for the most part and I really think if you, me, the person above or below, puts our minds to it, then we can achieve anything. It's cliche and corny, and maybe a bit too optimistic, but at least you've found an issue, analyzed the problem and are working to get through it.

Good luck! - Jonathan
 
Cate, I can't imagine you stoned! How funny! I guess it effects people differently--I usually become insanely happy and cuddly and have a lovely time. No Zombie for me!

Jade, thanks for posting! Look at all these pot-triers coming out of the woodwork :sifone: How funny that you took them to work! Good job you didn't get caught by your crazy boss. She sounds like a nutcase!

Jonathan! Welcome to WLF. I'm surprised you've learnt anything from my posts. Things tend to fall out of my face & onto the keyboard with very little thought, I'm afraid. Usually have to hit the edit button a few times once I'm done writing! Thank you, though. I find writing down what I've eaten cathartic. I'll often be worried I've over eaten but when it's down on paper, so to speak, it's easier to see where I've made mistakes, how many calories approx that I've eaten, etc. You should give it a try! I flail wildly between stupidly positive and horrendously self-loathing. I am queen of the self-deprecating! Good luck to you to! We're the same age :)


So today has been full of WIN. Got up at 6am this lovely SUNDAY MORNING. :ack2: After like 4 hours sleep because Yank was breathing DIRECTLY into my face/eyes/mouth the entire night. He is incapable of sleeping with his giant gob shut. But got to work and was welcomed by this gorgeous view..

So I have been full of the joyyyys of the world all day. And my positive mood translated to my food!

B: pear, apple.
L: 3 egg omelette with 20g cheese and reduced fat ham
D: quorn lasagna, home made!

I'm going to have a HUGE glass of low alcohol wine with diet lemonade to toast myself on how fucking awesome I have been.

Piggy out! :piggy:
 
I've tried the naughty stuff a few times. Don't have a huge tolerance for it, but a little seemed to make me very giddy LOL. Not really my thing though, I'd rather have a few drinks instead.

Those are great pictures! Hard not to start the day off on a happy note looking at that. And a good start to the day for me seems essential for a good rest of the day.

Sorry, but that made me laugh really hard.. haha! Mostly because I can relate...well sorta. Chef sleeps with his cpap mask on most of the time, but even then it blows air out of the front of the mask for some reason. So, he'll roll over in the middle of the night, and it's like a fan blowing in my face. It was kinda nice in the summer... but not so much in the dead of winter. :rolleyes:

Glad to see you're doing good! This is our year! For sure! :grouphug:
 
You're doing excellently Sunflower, congratulations. Also well done on giving up the cigarettes, I am finding it extremely tough and keep giving in to temptation when I have a few beers.
 
Thanks my darlings.

Am little sad today as my best friend told me last night that he's moving away back home. He's struggling with depression very badly so I understand why he needs to go but I am devastated that I wont see him for a while. He's getting someone to take over his lease on his apartment and quitting his job and studies. Hopefully am seeing him today before he goes.

Anyway, in other news, yesterdays food went well. So hopefully I'll stick with it today. Humph.
 
Awwwww...always sad to be apart from good friends! Hope he begins feeling better!

Glad the food is going well, I bet you will stick with it! Although it is no fun, buying smaller jeans will be! At least that's what I tell myself ;)
 
Ate terribly last night. My friend came over and we ordered pizza and drank quite a lot. Am not sorry though, was a brilliant night and made some happy memories to think of whilst he's away from Portsmouth. Off for a 24 hour shift before my weigh in tomorrow..I imagine I'll have stayed the same.
 
Sorry to hear about your friend leaving. :( Glad you had a good last night with him though. Good luck on your 24 hour shift!
 
Glad you had a good last night with your friend, you should not feel sorry or regret it. Some things are worth slowing your progress by a day or two and that would definitely be one.

Hope today goes well!
 
Hi Sweetie :)

I have just started reading the beginning of your diary and you've made me laugh already lol and I love that you are still counting the days of not smoking at day 42!! Brilliant :)

:eek: HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE CHOCOLATE?!!

Sorry to hear that your friend is moving. My best friend moved to Winchester (I live in Devon) which is so close to you lol and it's lovely going to visit for the weekend.

Your diary really did make me laugh, you're so funny.
I look forward to going on your weight loss journey with you. xoxo
 
Hey hon!
Sounds like thigns are going really well (very impressed with your pre-christmas start!!). Yet again you and I match in our gaining weight!! (except I managed to nearly give myself a heart attack with a 222 when I stepped on the scales on New Year's Day eeek!). So lets give it a REALLY good go this time and both get down to our hot-hoochie weight!!

Sorry to hear about your friend moving away. It does however sound like the right thing for them at this point in their life and all you can do is be as supportive as possible given the distance. At least staying in touch is much easier now days with skype and the net and stuff but I know its not the same.

Anyhowz, big hugs!
jjjay
