Hey lovelies,


Not sure if anyone will remember my stupid face from when I used to make a trillion posts a day but I'm backkkk. And fat. Like a giant manatee. But with less sea cabbage eating. No cabbage eating at all, in fact! Mainly pizza and delicious noms. I lost abouuuut 50lbs last year with weightwatchers. Went down from 220lbs to about 170 in approx 5 months. So I did very well. Have since fallen off the wagon and am now pounding the pavements at about 217lbs. Which is NOT OKAY. May I also add that I am an AMAZON woman. I'm 5'10 and a bit. So I should be like a fricking supermodel by the time my fat-ass gets down to my goal weight. Except less attractive. 170lbs is healthy for my height. Or just under.


So I'm attempting to make a bit of a comeback and get back on the wagon. I have a new and very demanding job as a TA in a school for very disabled primary school children and I'm still moon-lighting as a care worker for disabled people during the evenings. I'm a very busy person and yet I still find time to stuff my face with literally anything I can find. Have been thinking about it more seriously since the new job started and I dropped 8lbs in a month (Jan-Feb) just by drinking less wine. For those that remember me, I'm still struggling with what I believe to be a borderline drinking problem. I've gone from drinking every day to just 3-4 times a week but it's still too much. I can put away 2-3 bottles of wine a night. Which is about 2 days worth of calories. Sounds like I'm bragging a bit! But seriously, very unsexy and my waistline is screaming for me to put down the bottle--As well as my liver!


I'll be logging my food every day. Or whenever I remember. But I'm aiming for every day. So yes, I'm Hana/Sunflower, I'm 22 and I'm aiming for 170 by the end of Summer. Or before if possible ;) I have a exercise tracker on my phone so can log all my work-outs.



20th Feb 2012.


Breakfast: Bitches be hatin' but I don't eat breakfast. Must make more effort. Note to self.

Lunch: left-over pasta and quorn burger. No cheese. (475)

Dinner: macaroni (484) large glass of wine (250)


Total: 1209


Exercise: 2 mile walk - 290 calories
 
ASweetie, there's NO possible way YOU could look like a manatee..hahaha. That did make me laugh though...omg. Glad to see you back!! Looking forward to updates!! :)
 
Helluuuuu, sexbomb! So glad you posted. I thought you'd be like....who ze eff are you. It has been a while.


Work was marrrrv. Walked 2 miles there. I love how I was preparing myself for this "epic" walk all day. Like, "omg, I have to WALK, can you believe this shit!!!???" kinda preparing. And it literally took 30 mins and I rocked it out to some good ol' Eddie Vedder on the ipod the whole way. Was awesome. Felt very pumped when I got to work. Didn't walk home as it was pitch black and I didn't want to walk through Somers Town (rapistville in Portsmouth, where I live.)


Came home and wanted to drink but limited maaaself to just 1 glass. A very large glass. But then distracted myself with hot bath and early night. Hopefully tomorrow will be bitchin' as well.


So cals are still low for the day. Working tomorrow and taking a sammich and some crisps and a bar type thing but that'll be about 490 which is fine. Veg and WW meal for dinner tomorrow night, hopefully!
 
I'm SO glad you're back!!!

And you're gorgeous no matter what your weight, so no more of this "manatee" talk, young miss!
 
Hello my gorgeous! I've missed you! Thought of you often--Usually when in compromising positions (;)) and I think "Rox would LOVE this right now! :p". Glad I have my partner in crime back! Will hunt for your diary later!


Today has been a good/bad day. Good day because I've eaten well and caught the bus home instead of getting a taxi so saved myself some money. Bad day because the kids were INSANE today. I have a class of 10 kids and there are usually 5 members of staff in our class (which we need, if not more!!) and today we only had 4 AND it was swimming day and I'd forgotten my kit. So I had to go in in a tshirt, bra, pants and leggings. Not the most sexual look I've ever gone for. I also got spat at, punched in the neck and got my necklace broke. Not a fun day. I love a challenge but we were all like the walking dead by the end of today. I only work 30 hours a week in the school (9-3) every day but usually there by 830 and leave at 330. I know its not many hours but the work is just so exhausting. I'd love to wear a pedometer to school and see just how much I do in a day because we literally don't stop!!

So I've come home for a quick cup of tea and to put my feet up and then I'm back to work. Lucky me! *plays tiny violin*


Tomorrow should be better! Not working after school so will have time to relax!

Lunch: 2 snack a jacks (50) sammich (275) crisps (165) snack bar (135)

Exercise: racing around after kids? No, doesn't count! Probably just about 30 mins of walking to and from bus stops, etc. Wont put a calorie burn down as didn't track it today.
 
Hi Princess Hana!

Sounds like you REALLY have your hands full at work. But it seems like you're up to the challenge. I admire you so much!!!


The pedometer is not a bad idea. They are not too expensive and it would be interesting to have a more solid idea of how much ground you cover during the day. I've been thinking about getting one myself. Great minds must really think alike. lol!


It's great you're back into watching what you eat. Are you finding it easier this time around?


I'm glad you haven't forgotten me, sweetie! If you have anything really racy to tell me, just give me a PM!

I've been having some BDSM fun lately that I certainly can't put in my diary. So, if you'd like to hear about the kink scene I've discovered in Switzerland, just give the word and I'll spill all the lovely little details:coolgleama: ! ( Actually, my sex life has a HUGE impact on my weight-loss life, so all the details SHOULD go in my diary. But I am a teensy bit afraid of getting banned from WLF for being a naughty influence on the nice people here:blush5: Just to be clear, getting thin doesn't make everyone into a shameless strumpet. That's just what worked for me. )


At any rate, it's fabulous having you back!! I missed you!
 
Of course we remember you Sunflower:) So good to see ya back:) you can defo lose all the weight again and even more this time around. Loving your positive hilarious attuide



best of luck chicken xoxo
 
Yay! More people I know :D Princess and Luz! Glad you guys are still here--Would be much harder starting fresh with all new faces, although looking forward to meeting some new people as well!

Rox, I'll PM next time I have something to tell you, things have been pretty quiet with me right now. We're looking for a 3rd person right now but due to me feeling like a pregnant whale, I've not been feeling too hot!! :p


Right, today went well. Ate 1800 calories yesterday (two dinners, Hana? REALLY!?!) but I'm still down a lb today. It's kinda a big deal because I've not seen 216 in ageeees as I've been stuck between 218-223 for like 2 months. Feels good. Looking forward to my next weigh in. Work sucked ass today but I still ate very little which was good as I usually reach for junk when I'm feeling low.


Today is my besties birthday so I'm dragging my ass to a pub to celebrate. The whole "not drinking thing" hasn't quite kicked in yet!! Awh well, must show restraint. Also, I'm so poor I can probably only afford a small tap water. So drinking should be off the cards.


Breakfast: -

Lunch: 1 litre of water, 1 marmite sammich (220) snack'a'jack (50) snack bar (135)

Dinner:

Exercise: wrestled with an autistic child for about 2 hours. Aching like fuck so must have burnt something. Or just pulled a muscle. Either way.

Weight: 216 (-1)

Just a quick post as I'm really busy. Did healthy food shop today so should be sorted for the coming week.

No exercise at all yesterday--Was very bad!



Today the weather in Portsmouth is beauuutiful so me and my very pregnant friend walked down to Canoe lake and then the beach and then back. I ate a very naughty lunch of chips and a burger though. Stupid sun. So that must have been around 1000 calories. So I have salad and soup for dinner tonight.

Back to work tomorrow. 4 miles to work there and back so that'll set me off to a good start!
 
Good job keeping up the food journal!

I see that you like garlic bread. I love it, but never eat it. I don't want to breathe dragon breath on my sweetie!:biggrin:


The walk sounds like some nice exercise. Nothing's better than a walk with a friend on a lovely day, IMHO!
 
hiya sunflower.

Good luck with your goals and reducing the wine! I used to drink a lot so I know how hard that is! I think red wine is better than white, I have even read that it helps to burn fat. ( I only drink red! lol. ) the weather here has been great too, glad you got for a walk.
 
Thank lovelies :D I'm trying with the drinking so fingers crossed I'll start seeing some results soon!!


Breakfast:

Lunch: 2 x slices of bread (200) marmite/butter (50) snack bar x 2 (170)

So, I'm going back to Weight Watchers! Was looking through my old diary "Put that down, fatty!" from two years ago (god I've been here FOREVERRR) and I lose nothing for the first while and then I lost 6lbs my first week of WW! So I found a meeting just down the road that starts at 7pm tomorrow! Can't wait to drag my fat-ass back in there, although I'm kind of embarrased this is my THIRD time back there in 2 years. But it'll be worth it. I rarely stay for the meetings but I find the threat of someone writing down my weight every week a HUGE motivator and it worked for me last time so I'm giving it another shot. Better post some recent photos, I guess, so I have some comparison!







And this is what I look like 40lbs lighter!!! And will look like again!!









Here's to tomorrow!
 
I'm actually going to post something from my old diary--I need to remind myself that I felt like this at one time!


"Only I have the power to make myself feel good about how I look. I could be the most beautiful woman in the world in everyone else's eyes--but if I don't FEEL it, then it doesn't matter. (Not saying I am beautiful in the slightest, way to look super arrogant Hana!) *rolls eyes*

I am happy. I'm smart and I'm kind and I adore my family and friends. I'm lucky to have an education and to have no money worries. The last piece of my puzzle is to feel HEALTHY! And then I'll really have everything I've ever wanted."







Really healthy attitude there! Must get that back!
 
Great attitude!

And I'm sure that going back to WW will give you an added boost. You know it works for you and it will give you some structure again.


I love the photos. You're such a lovely girl (at any weight!)
 
:seeya: thanks for visiting my journal! yours is hilarious and i love it. I will certainly be following and wishing you well along your journey. looks like we will be going through the challenges of putting an end to the yo yo rollercoaster weight flux once and for all! your abs look great in that pic too! you definitely have a belly capable of a sizzlin hot 6 pack, lets trade.


Eat some breakfast, girl!
 
Thanks Rox and Jmlw!


But breakfast suckkkkks :(


I'm still looking through my old diary and I ate breakfast like once in about 40 pages. It's not good! I'll try and get on it but I wake up at 7:30 and leave the house by 8:20 so by the time I've showered, dressed, made my lunch etc, I don't have time. And food in the morning makes me feel illllllll.


So, list of reasons to lose weight!


Things I am looking forward to most: Reasons to get slim!
