Only Tuesday?

I know it is only Tuesday, but so far I am pretty pleased with my efforts. I did the walk on Sunday (and I haven't exercised on the weekend in sooo long) and I actually went jogging/walking last night before Desperate Housewives was on. It was dark and cold, but I dressed warm and mr. ralph went with me.

Also, yesterday I ate a lot of veggies and stuck to my super low point day without going over.

Can you tell I'm very happy?

I also have been lifted up by everyone who has responded to my Help Me Win plea. You guys are simply the best, and I believe that my including all of your comments in my application will do more at showing my weight loss journey than anything else because this is where it all happens for me.

I come here to complain and whinge, I come here to get motivated, I read all of your journals to know that I am not alone in this journey. Without the weight loss blogs I don't really know if I would have stuck with this through the struggle. Remember back when it all began? I had a lot of reasons to stay on the couch.

Having somewhere to go when I was having a down day really changed the attitude I had post-op. I could have felt sorry for myself and I didn't. As I go back and reread old entries I realise I was a lot stronger than I even knew at the time.

So thanks for being my shining stars. I love you guys. I really do.

I agree. Having the support of those commenting in a weight loss blog is very uplifting and motivating. I find a lot of strength and encouragement from those who stop by and take a moment out to console me, laugh with me or at me and otherwise just be supportive.

Hoorah for your "stick-with-it" weekend! Today I came crashing down the carbo alley and we're not talking fruit-type of carbs either. But I'm still moving and grooving and kicked it on the treadmill *and* eliptical, so I'm not letting the carb-slip get to me. Well, not entirely.

Keep up the great work! :D

Ah I am so delighted to hear you so energised and determined! It really goes both ways for all of us in the weightloss blogosphere! You do the same to me, lift me up, show me it is doable, gimme a shoulder when I need one!

It is really done with a little help of our friends!

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...

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...

A summary of yesterday

The day started off really well because my body had somehow managed to go back to normal and I pulled out a one kilo loss for the week. I was very pleased with that, and the girls at my weight watcher's meeting had a present for me! I was soooooo surprised. I had invited them to come out for drinks with me and was pleased that they said they would come, they didn't have to buy me a present as well. But they got me a beautiful vase. I haven't photographed it yet, but it is in the plans. Friday night mr. ralph's friend that moved to Melbourne called and said he would be flying in and could come out as well to celebrate with me. It was very nice to see him. The dinner went well, except the dish I ordered was a seafood soup which consisted of seafood floating in heavy cream; not the most weight-conscious choice, but I managed to eat the seafood and bits of potato and leave the cream behind, and it took over an hour for us to get our food from when we ordered. After d...
