The Diary ;-)

hey guys

the wedding was great yesterday. the clocks went forward so i had one hour less sleep. had to wake up at 6:00!! anyway got back at 1am last night. so it was a loooong day. got up really late this morning as well. which means i'm gonna have to stay up late to get some work done for the test tomorrow not good.
the usual happened at the wedding. once again my sister was called the 'pretty' 'gorgeous' one by all the rellies. i mean literally 95% of them. it got so bad that everytime it happened my bro would turn around to me and say haha you're ugly. not a good feeling at all. but some things you can't change can you...you're just born with em and gotta live with em. not sayin i would change anything about myself...i'm happy the way i am..it just amazes me how important looks are to people. well the thing i can change is my weight and i did get a few 'you've lost weight haven't you' comments which was great cos this is the first time it has happened apart from my mums comments lol! made my day!!
other then that weightloss wise everything is good apart from a likle too much pizza last night maybe ;). just done 100 mins excercise though. weather was good so the badminton net is back out again...woohoo...i just wish we had a bigger garden.
ok back to some work now. :)
have a great week

I'm glad you had a good time at the wedding, despite having to listen to people say those things about your sis..lol. I think people tend to be a bit thick about that sort of thing. I'm sure it never occurs to them that it makes the sister who isn't getting the compliaments feel bad. However, the great thing is that people noticed you're shrinking. :hurray: I went to my family Christmas party last December after losing 55lbs since the last time I'd seen those rellies. Not a single one said a thing about my weight loss. :ack2: Now that was disheartening.

I'm sure my Angelic One is beautiful in her own right. :) :hug2:
 
I'm sorry you had the irritation of rude relatives to deal with. Personally, I try not to put much stock into that kind of thing--but it's hard, I know, when someone else is being showered with praise. As you say, though, you're doing what you can to take care of yourself, and that's what really matters.

Angel I'm so sorry to hear about the fam being rude. Sometimes I think families put a lot of emphasis on weight and looks when they themselves can only relate to outward appearances and not things like success in life, school or careers. My family does the same thing with my younger cousin. We're the only two girls and they think she's apple pie because she's built like a supermodel. And there was the time I came home from college to visit my grandma in the hospital and she said, "We had always hoped that you would turn out beautiful someday but I guess now isn't the time for that conversation." It's times like those that you have to remember that you can pick your nose but you can't pick your family!:D I hope the week is going well for you... you're one busy bee!
 
Hi Angel! Glad to hear you had a good time despite the rudeness going around. Ah well, you know you are gorgeous! :) And that means that people are just jealous of you. ;)

Hope you're having a good day!

Hi Angel

It is ages since I visited your diary (sorry about that) but I have just been and caught up with everything that has been going on since I last visited.

You have been busy with tons of exercise and coursework (including a monster thesis). There was also much talk of problems with the scales and tapemeasure. I have however noticed in the challenge that your weight loss has been reasonably consistent week on week:

Although I can understand that you feel that you are not getting as much weightloss as your exercise warrants - I thought that I would remind you that you are seeing some success for your efforts.

I am sorry that the wedding (although enjoyable) was marred by various rude comments by some relatives. I suppose you will always be irritated by your brother - a lot of people can find that their brothers get irritating at times. People can be very thoughtless. It really just demonstrates how stupid they are if they didnt realise how hurtful they were being to you.

Not only are you able to lose weight - but you are actually doing so very successfully. As we acquire a better figure we should gain the ability to choose from a greater range of clothes that flatter us and are in keeping with current trends. I have recently realised that I have been inclined to neglect my appearance in that I have gone for years without helping my skin with things like creaming. I have also not used make-up which always enhances our appearance. I plan to shortly resume doing that too. The best make-up can often be applied such as you do not notice that it is even there - things just look naturally better - there is no need to feel that you look like a painted lady. I believe that it should be possible to substantially improve my appearance.

Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. My hubby has always regularly told me how stunning he thinks I look - but I can assure you that very few people would have ever agreed with him over the years. All that matters at the end of the day is the opinion of one very special person and I am sure that when he comes into your life he will not notice that your sister exists.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hi Angel

I saw this on another thread:

Is it just that you are really busy with your course finals or is there a problem? I hope that everything is ok for you.

Take care

Oh my Angelic One! Margaret was spot on (as usual) with what she said. I, too hope all is well, and that you're just busy with school.

I miss you! :hug2:
 
Angel, I haven't been by for a while so I thought I would catch up on your diary. I'm glad your exercising your butt off!:)
Too bad that your wedding experience was not the best. Just remember,

You can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends! With all these wonderful friends here at the WLF you can't go wrong. We know you are beautiful where is counts - in your heart! I'm sure you are just as good looking as your sis as well, maybe you are more beautiful but not highlighting it! Maybe you need a different hair style to emphasize your eyes? Maybe a change of clothing style? People can sense confidence, the happier you are with your appearance the more people will notice you.

Forget them, you are on the right path so keep on it!

Have a great day!
 
Hay Angel, it's been awhile since I popped my head in here. How's everything going? Sorry to hear about the rude comments from the relatives, family can be a pain. I hope all is well on your end.
 
hey guys thanx for all your comments and kind thoughts. i just had a minute and thought i should pop in and see how its all going. i am doing ok. nothing major. just needed to take a break from everything for a while. i probably still wont be on here for a while because of my teaching placement taking up my life but it'll all be over soon :). hope you all are doing well. i am back on my weightloss trip. i think i gained a few pounds but no inches so all is good! and i have had a lot of 'you've lost weight' comments recently from everyone which is always a plus. i have chopped my hair as well...lol i make it sound bad. i've got a bob now which is better than long...on me ayway and i think that has made a massive difference alongside the complete new SMALLER wardrobe. i needed a massive change i think lol! anyway hope you are all doing good and having a great time. i will probably be back on in a couple of weeks.

thanx again for everything...i appreciate it. ;)

Thank you for checking in my Angelic One!! I was worried about ya. :)

Glad to hear things are good, depsite being hectic. :hug2:
 
I am also pleased that you checked in and we know that all is ok for you.

It sounds like you are really busy.

It is great that you are getting a lot of positive feedback about having lost weight - and your whole new look (new figure, clothes, hair).

It is great that you havent had an increase in inches since you changed focus for a while.

Take care and do remember to pop back every so often to keep us posted.
Love
Margaret
