Rainy day Friday

So it is Friday morning and of course you know I jumped on the scale first thing. I've had a pretty up and down week because I was so excited on Saturday when I lost the 800 grams that I then proceeded to eat and eat and eat.

This is just one of those things though. I know that next week I will get back on track and before long I will be at goal and still I will have weeks like this. My weight is not going to magically stablilze. But don't I wish it would?

I'm still mulling over this fat versus skinny feeling I have about myself. Yesterday I tried on a size 10 short jean skirt and cringed at the cellulite and fatty bits I could see on my legs. I know that if I had on black tights it wouldn't look that bad and even though the skirt was a steal at $10 because it was the last one she had in stock I still didn't buy it because the gremlins in my head were going working over time convincing me I looked like a fat cow in it.

Usually I can put these voices at bay because in pants I know I look great. I know that I will never have matchstick pins, this is a fate I've already accepted, but I still should feel comfortable in skirts.

I'm hoping that by summertime I will have worked through this issue and have conquered my fat head.

Now for why I have been stressed out lately. This will get personal, you've been warned. I had some problems in the girly department last week. Needless to say because I was raped when I was younger my overactive imagination helped me proceed to freak out. I called my sister who told me to calm down because it was probably just a yeast infection.

Yeast eh? I've never had one before, had no clue what it was so I looked it up and some of the symptoms were the same and some weren't. I went to the doctor though, and that was last Thursday. I explained to her my fears because of the rape and she took some swabs and said she would test me for everything, but again told me not to worry.

But if you've seen one thing about me from this blog it is that I don't calm down easily. I've been worried all week. Yesterday waiting for my results I thought I was going to hurl just from the nerves. But thankfully I only have Thrush, aka a yeast infection. How I managed to make it until the ripe old age of 30 without ever having one is beyond me, but I am so relieved.

She said that the test results revealed no nasties.

Sigh.

I've been worried that that asshole gave me something since I was 18. I've already had 2 HIV tests and because these things can be silent I've always worried that one day... you know.

What a weight lifted off my chest.

And if that wasn't enough, mr. ralph had an endoscopy on Monday because of the pain he has been having. It seems that it is not reflux, but he has scaring and damage in his esophagus that they have done a biopsy on. We still do not know the results and he even as I write this is still having a lot of pain. The anti-acid prescription that we've spent $30 on has done absolutely nothing for him. And of course I am worried. I just want it to be something manageable and for him to have some relief.

Please keep my hubs in your thoughts.

And lastly I've tried my hand at designing argy's site and it seems it was a success, so now I am working on a design for airlie. If anyone else would like a ms. ralph design, drop me an email and we can talk about it.

Firstly, how terrible you were raped. Just know though, that after this time the only after effect will be emotional - of course that is the worst.

Thrush... lol... welcome to the land of itch crotches and pain where most of us have been!!

You are doing so well - 40 kilos off is amazing so don't ever forget that.

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 ...
