Day 15 - Under

I'm feeling slightly under the weather. Not enough to call in sick to work (although I wish I could), but just enough to make me feel ick.

I've had a sore throat and have felt really tired. I've been wondering if a lot of my tiredness is due to a lack of iron. I haven't taken any supplements on this detox, but I think that Dr. Joshi's book actually recommends you take them. How silly am I for not even thinking about that?

Oh well. I don't feel like spending a lot of money on supplements either. I've got one more week to go.

On Friday at work someone who had their birthday on the weekend left a piece of chocolate mud cake on my desk before I could tell them no thanks, they left. I was staring at this cake so hard. You'd be proud though, I gave it to another guy that sits next to me and didn't think another thing of it.

Yesterday we took mr. ralph's mum out for Mother's Day and the desserts on the menu looked so yummy! And afterwards he and his mum both had icecream! God it was so hard, but I kept saying, one more week, one more week.

Why did I start this thing on a Monday? When I'm finished it will be a Tuesday and I never really want to eat very badly during the week. Maybe this is a good thing and will keep me from overindulging enough to gain weight.

I have been thinking about this detox and how the chick in the article claims you can loose 5 kilos from it and how I've only lost 1.2 so far. I guess if you are a junk food eater and then cut everything out cold turkey you would loose 5 kilos. But for someone like me that eats a lot of rabbit food and lean protein anyway, it takes a lot to loose 5 kilos.

Will I make it to 63 in time to apply for Slimmer of the Year? I don't know. It would take a miracle.

Congrats on passing up the cake. I don't think I would've had the same willpower.

Honey, the miracle has happened already you know. You have worked so hard to loose 40 kilos that this is a miracle on its own! Think of back then, on a size 20 jeans, didnt you honestly think it would take a miracle to fit into size 10? Well my sweet becca, you have performed the miracle...YOU and noone else for you!

So what if you don't loose the rest 2.6 in two weeks? Surely it will be supergreat! I'll really open a bottle of champagne and cheer for you! But the important miracle darling? You have done this already!!!! Its just the final stardust that needs to be thrown!

One more week -- you CAN do it. I'm sure your body is fighting this, which is why you haven't seen a loss. I have complete faith in your ability to lose these last few kilos/pounds.

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...
