Wow, just W O W

I couldn't believe it when I last checked there were 11 comments on yesterday's entry. And the weekend's are usually very slow around the blogosphere, at least around here.

I can't thank you guys enough for the overwhelming support you give me. I seriously don't think I could have done so well without you.

Also, as if I needed another reason to apply for Slimmer of The Year, check out the prizes. I could definately handle some new George clothes, the trip sounds fantastic, and the photo-shoot?? Heaven!

I am going to do this people. I will make my goal and get that application in the mail by the deadline of May 20th. I just have to. I'd be crazy not to give this my full attention to make sure it happens. 4 kilos/8.8 pounds is not going to stand in my way!

They don't leave a lot of space on the entry form for long-winded answers but say at the end that if you want to attach more pages you can. I think I am going to work on my entry to make sure it is perfect and truly reflects my whole weight loss journey. I of course will put it here for all of you to read when it is finished.

Thanks again babies, you are wonderful!

I wondered how good the prizes were. If I was so close to goal like you, I would definately enter!! I always thought I would be too embaressed to enter and share my story with everyone, but to hell with that, we should be proud of our efforts (and yours are awsome!!) and we deserve those prizes :o)

All the best with reaching goal by the deadline and all the best with your application. It would be wonderful if a blogger won :o)

You have done so well with your weight loss - well done! I have lost a bit of weight myself. When I was pregnant I had gained 16 kilos but now seven months down the track I have lost 26!

I am here to thank-you for popping by my site yesterday (my time!).

Cheers.

Once again you have inspired me. I needed a kick in the rear. Knowing you're plugging away to meet your goal makes me want to pick up the pace myself. Just remember what an inspiration you are - ups & downs!

I've been away, but just wanted to say, "Woo hoo!" They'd be fools not to pick 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....

Unbelievable results

You may have noticed that I changed the 70 to the left to 71. I don't know how it happened, but I actually gained weight this week. What is happening to me? I don't know what is going on, but the scale did say 71 two days in a row. Yes, I am at the end of my TOM and that could contribute to some of it, but a whole kilo? I looked at my calorie count from this week and I went over 1500 only 2 days, Friday and Saturday. Although I did much better this weekend than last, I still struggled with eating more on my off days than during the week. Another reason I had a horrific week was the heat. We had 4 days of over 40C in a row. Now that is just wrong. I can't handle heat very well. I did go for a walk on Saturday and when I came home thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Not good at all. I almost declared this week a no-weigh week due to my TOM but have decided to take it as it comes. So I weigh 71 today. Excuse my language but that number really scares the ...
