Alright Brain, you don't like me, and I don't like you. But lets just do this, and I can get back to killing you with beer.

Ahh, what a long week. I'm so glad to be at home sitting here. You have no idea.

I just read the comment from Silverella saying she missed my posts. It feels good to be missed, but to tell you the truth, I have not felt like writing. I haven't felt very much like myself this week, and today has got to be the worst day of all.

I am angry and have no idea in what direction to throw my anger. Have you ever felt that way? It is a ridiculous place to be in. The anger of course gets sent inward.

I was doing well with eating this week, I know I needed to be exercising, but I didn't feel like it. Every single day I felt accomplished to just get myself through the day, I just couldn't emotionally or physically handle taking on more than the normal work and eating/sleeping duties.

So you can imagine how surprised I was when my weight seemed to skyrocket over night. This morning I weighed myself and saw an unbelievable 70.2 on the scales. Mid-week I was weighting in at 69 kilos even, so I of course I thought I was doing okay. If I had seen that on Monday I wouldn't have really cared, except this isn't Monday, and I didn't even weigh myself on Monday because I know how Monday is around here. It is the 2nd day after the super high wendie point day and a spike in weight is almost guaranteed. But a Friday? Friday is the day before my official weigh-in and usually Friday's weight is a clear indication of what I have accomplished for the week.

What caused this weight gain? I don't know. It could be salt intake, water retention, who the fuck knows? All I know is it is ridiculous.

I may seem a bit dramatic, but I am at the end of my rope here. I am so tired of being happy go lucky and taking things in stride. I am SICK to death of this. I hate this last 15 pounds with such a passion that I could just scream.

Then on the way to work mr. ralph tells me that his brother's ex girlfriend is apparently having her 26th Birthday drinks at the same restayrabt that I am going for my 30th dinner on Saturday night because it the placed is a Restaurant/Pub in one. This means that his brother is going to try to juggle the two of us. Firstly, I dislike this girl. I have ever since the death of mr. ralph's father, and secondly she is an ex-girlfriend and I don't want to share. I would rather he go to her stupid birthday than even bother trying to do both. Yes I know how incredibly selfish that sounds, but I am feeling incredibly selfish.

I am missing home and friends and family too. I wish so much I could spend my birthday with my family and friends in the US, but I can't.

I think one girl from about 45 people I gave invites to at work may actually show up to the drinks. She is probably the only one I can say I truly get along with at work. I know I didn't really expect work people to come, but some secret part of me wished that more people would put forth an effort because I want to work on making friends with people from work. It is the only place from which I have to choose from.

It is so hard living here.

God, after 4 years you would think I could have made more friends than I have. I don't think I should write anymore. The mood is worsening and all I am doing is feeling sorry for myself.

What a way to go into this weekend, what a way to approach thirty.

Chin up mate! Actually, I think that my comment will be a novel! An email could be more appropriate! *hugs*

Man, I wish I could come! I'm sorry you are having such a tough week. Put on that hot dress you posted pictures of awhile back, forget the scale and have some fun. Do they have any piano "sing-a-long" bars near you? That is what I did for my 30th and it was such a blast (and trust me I am a very shy person). I hope you have fun and Happy Birthday!

What a week, indeed. And, yes, I have had that much anger and didn't know where to direct it -- you're right, it just goes inward. One of the things that's been the hardest about my move is losing the close proximity of my family and friends. If my birthday were tomorrow, I think it would just be my husband and two dogs.

Try and have some fun. Forget the scale and the ex -- focus on you!

oh babe! what an entry this was - you had me in tears! It would be so hard to be away from friends and family and sometimes I wonder how my fella does it. I am sure that you had a great turnout because you are someone that ozzes beautifulness and charm and that has to rub off on people. 30 is such an amazing place to be and I will definitely come and have drinks and a chat with you before you hit 31!~

It can be hard making friends with people at work - I know I have a tendency not to socialise much with workmates outside of work because I like to keep the two things separate.

I hope your mood improves and that you have a spectacular birthday:)

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

All it takes is determination

I got my butt up this morning and did a 20-minute walk/jog, and it was still DARK outside. You proud of me?? Sure you are! I didn't do so well with my eating on the weekend, but this is not going to stand in my way. I know that in order to push through and lose more than what I've been averaging since Christmas (500-800 grams a week) I have got to stick to the Wendie Plan for the rest of this week and to my new lower points intake of 18 a day as well as exercise . I said the dreaded word, but it is true. I can do this. I have decided that there will be no excuses. I will apply to be this year's WW Slimmer of The Year. I can't let anything stand in my way. Thanks to all of you for getting behind me with this. Your support is so crucial because I am feeling high and on top of the world right now, but I know there will be days that I will feel like giving up the fight when I will start thinking it is just to hard and I know I will be going back and reading all your w...

Rainy day Friday

So it is Friday morning and of course you know I jumped on the scale first thing. I've had a pretty up and down week because I was so excited on Saturday when I lost the 800 grams that I then proceeded to eat and eat and eat. This is just one of those things though. I know that next week I will get back on track and before long I will be at goal and still I will have weeks like this. My weight is not going to magically stablilze. But don't I wish it would? I'm still mulling over this fat versus skinny feeling I have about myself. Yesterday I tried on a size 10 short jean skirt and cringed at the cellulite and fatty bits I could see on my legs. I know that if I had on black tights it wouldn't look that bad and even though the skirt was a steal at $10 because it was the last one she had in stock I still didn't buy it because the gremlins in my head were going working over time convincing me I looked like a fat cow in it. Usually I can put these voices at bay b...
