Hungry

You wouldn't think that dropping from an average of 20 points a day (140 weekly) to 18 (126 weekly) would be that difficult, but it is.

I've not been that successful so far, but I will keep trying. Soon I won't have a choice in the matter.

I am really looking forward to this weekend away. Although I won't have an official weigh-in this Saturday because I will not be going to my Weight Watcher's meeting, I still plan to weigh myself Friday morning and record that weight as my weekly weigh-in.

I still can't believe I am within 4.2 kilos from my goal weight. This is amazing.

I had a Postie Fashions party at my mum-in-law's house on the weekend and I was the model for the clothes. When the hostess asked me to do the modelling she said, "Okay so what size do you wear, a 10?"

Will I ever get used to that question?

I told her 10's and 12's, and unbelievablly I fit into almost a size 10 in everything except certain skirts. There were a few things she only had in 12's, but it was so surreal to put on size 10 pants. I couldn't believe it.

Also, one of my mother-in-law's friend who hasn't seen me in a while told me that I looked so good she didn't even recognize me when she saw me. Then as she was leaving she told me again how great she thought I looked.

What I noticed most when I was putting on the clothes is that my thighs are finally slimming down. I guess the 5 kilos I've lost since Chrismtas must have come off my legs and bum and hopefully the last 4 will as well.

Let me tell you, I am still pinching myself. I never thought I'd be wearing a size 10 ever, and here I am wearing a size 10.

I would sing "Perfect 10" from the beautiful south to you, but you aint wearing a 12 so that would not be too precise!

I'm just so happy for you!!!!!!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

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...

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.
