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...

Life happens

I wish I could tell you guys that everything is on track and that the reason I have not been writing is because life has just been too good. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Winter is generally a crap time of year for me. I thought that this one I could get a handle on it and not have it get the best of me. I was wrong. Exercise? Who me? Eat healthy? Um no. Last night I wanted chips so mr. ralph went out at midnight and got us chips and dip and we sat in our pj's watching the England and Portugal quarter final stuffing our faces. Am I painting a pretty picture? For the most part I eat well. I do. I do not stock my house with these kinds of foods. I have learned that because I am an emotional eater, it is better if I don't. But mr. ralph is too easy. Where I won't go out and buy something at midnight, if I ask him too he will go for me. Yes, I do believe we are in a co-dependent relationship, even where food is concerned. We both eat when we feel emotional....

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...
