Hey L-J I guess I thought with a new diary I would feel motivated again when the truth is you can’t feel 100% excited about this all the time. Lol funny but I miss my old one. Just keep plodding along Hun and you will be able to look back and see when you were excited and when you stall…its part of life and part of loosing weight. Lol you and ya ticker will do fine. I think the best way to brighten up your diary is with a positive mind and then I bet you will have positive results. Lol love (not happy Jan) is probably one of my favorite sayings but I think the meaning gets a bit lost on these guys as they wouldn’t have seen the adds…lol must think of these things before I commit them to post.
Do you no sheidi the hypnotist told me that it was harder for his patients who smoked just a couple of cigarettes a day to give up then it was for someone like me who used to smoke 60 + , so I don’t envy you mate. Im very happy that I don’t smoke unless im out, the smell and the taste is revolting but I still do it…bad habits die hard. I think mate when we REALLY want to give it away we will.
It is really sad about Steve; we have lost one of Australia’s biggest loveable dags. More sad news yesterday, we lost another well known Australian Peter Brock.

Brock was 'larger than life'
By 7News
Peter Brock is being remembered as a passionate man who will be sadly missed by the Australian motor sport community.
As tributes continue after Brock's tragic accident, many of those who knew him said he was a great competitor until the end.
This afternoon, Brock was killed in a rally racing accident in Western Australia.
Channel Seven's Sunrise weather man Grant Denyer was competing in Targa West Tarmac Rally with Brock and said it was an exceptionally dark day to lose such a shining light of the sport.
"He was in a different stage of his life where he wasn't racing V8 Supercars any more," Denyer said.
"He loved the social aspect; there was a great chin wag with all the other competitors."
The West Australian Police Major Crash Squad said Brock's car collided with a tree after going off a road near Gidgegannup, in Perth's north-east at about 11:50am (WST).
Prime Minister John Howard said Brock towered above Australian motor sport in the 1970s and '80s and drove with such precision.
"He held more pole positions and won more races than any other driver since the inception of the Australian Touring Car competition," Mr Howard said.
"Peter will be sadly missed by his fans, the motor sport fraternity and the many people and groups he supported."
Similar sentiments were echoed by Minister for Sport, Senator Rod Kemp, who offered his sincere condolences to the family of the "King of the Mountain."
"Peter Brock was a dominant force in his sport for the past three decades and it is a great tragedy that he should die taking part in the sport that he loved," Senator Kemp said.
It was day two of the rally, which began in Perth yesterday.
The drivers in the rally will hold a minute's silence in Perth tonight to honour the Australian racing legend.
His co-driver Mick Hone was injured in the accident and was rushed to hospital
Hone's son, Justin said Peter's death has come as a shock.
"To hear my father is okay, you feel good for that but so awful for Peter and his family," he said.
Brock's wife of 28 years, Beverley - whom he separated from last year - said motor racing was his life and Peter died doing what he loved.
"There was a part of him that always pushed the barrier, that never wanted to grow old," she said.
"He didn't like to deal with stuff, so this way I guess he goes with a bang.
"He is in people's minds an amazing icon of Australian sport."
Beverley said he died doing something he was larger than life and nothing came before his racing.
"We had 28 years together and in that 28 years it came before everything and, to be fair, the kids felt that from time to time," Beverley said.
"I essentially gave up my life to be there with him to make it as easy as possible for him. He always said he could never have done it without support."
Fellow racing icon Bob Jane said the motor racing world was reeling after the fatal crash and people who have contacted him were noticeably upset.
"People have been crying on the phone," he said.
There is no doubt Peter Brock was Australia's greatest and best known motor sport personality.
His record nine Bathurst 1000 wins earned him the title "King of the Mountain" and it was a title he wholeheartedly deserved according to Formula 1 world champion, Alan Jones.
"He was a great competitor," he said.
Brock retired from full-time driving in 1997.
Victorian Premier Steve Bracks has offered the family a state funeral.
The 61-year-old is survived by his three children, Jamie, Robert and Alexandria.
