Harrumph

That is me, making a very unhappy sound.

So I didn't go to my weight watchers meeting today either. Yes, mr. ralph had something else to do and couldn't take me, but I could have walked, or mrs. ralph (the other one) would have been happy to drive me. But something inside of me didn't want to see the results on that scale, and have the # recorded. Although it was good that for the 2nd half of the week my mindset was back on track, and I was exercising everyday, I still am at least 1.5 kilos above my last weight recorded at WW.

Now this makes 2 weeks in a row that I haven't attended. Unless I find a meeting to go to in Melbourne, it will be another 2 weeks before I can go back. They will probably make me rejoin at that time because the amount of meetings I've missed will cost more than the rejoining fee.

I'm not sure what I will do. Maybe I will go to a Melbourne meeting. That could be fun. Do any of you go to WW in Melbourne?

Now I haven't updated the weight stats at the right to reflect my current weight because I am in denial. I don't want to be 66 kilos. I don't want to be above 65. It is very disappointing to me to be where I am right now. It is so hard to comprehend that I am finding things so damn difficult.

On another note, I have wanted to buy a pair of furry boots because I thought they'd be nice to wear on our bus trip to Melbourne to keep my feet warm, but I have really been turned off by the concept of wearing Ugg boots out in public as a part of winter style. I don't find them particularly flattering or attractive and the girls that pull the look off are stick thin (I saw a girl like that yesterday).

But as I tried a few different varieties on yesterday I couldn't get myself to buy any. I have bigger legs than most people my size. You wouldn't think that someone that wears a size 10 pants wouldn't be able to zip the standard boot up, but that's me. I not only have bigger legs, but I'm bow legged as well. It is something I've always been really sensitive about. It is not like I had a choice in the matter, I was born this way, but it isn't something you want to go around telling people either.

But my point is these boots don't fit me right, and the ones that do (the new ones with the little ties holding them together) look funny too. I am short, and the effect makes my legs look shorter, dumpier. It was not an eventful day and I ended up feeling bad about myself.

To top it all off I just finished reading a rather sad book and the feeling I have been left with is really gloomy.

I was hoping the scale would be my friend today. I wanted to be at least back to 65 kilos. In the back of my mind I had really hoped that all the skipping would have helped more than it did.

Last weekend did more damage than I thought, because if I hadn't done all the skipping and walking this week, I would hate to think how much I would have gained. I should be grateful at least for that. But I can't seem to pull out of this mood.

Tomorrow mr. ralph and I are going to the McLaren Vale on a winery tour with some of my co-workers and friends. It was a work outing but because not a lot of work people were interested we opened it up to outsiders as well. I hope that it is a sunny day, but most of all I hope we have some fun, and that a smile can find its way back to my face.

I think that is enough for just now. I've left the announcement up at the top about my trip to Melbourne. Don't be shy people, I want to meet you!

A side note to those of you who use Typepad for comments. I know I haven't been the best blog friend lately because I haven't made the time to stop by all of your sites. I made a real concerted effort today and had things to say too! But alas Typepad is not letting me leave you comments. I'm sorry!

Unfortunately I live in NSW, everyone else seems to live in Melbourne so Im sure you'll meet some lovely bloggers!!

Dont stress about ww, they'll only charge you 1 missed meeting, so you will pay for 2 meetings. Or if your lucky they might not charge you anything extra.

Thanks,

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...

Not working

I don't know where to begin. I didn't even want to post. My instinct tells me that because I don't want to, it may be the best thing to do. I haven't weighed myself, but I've had a few very bad days. I went out on Friday night and drank an unknown amount of gin and tonics and then I ate almost a whole bag of kettle chips yesterday. I put on a pair of my size 12 jeans that should fit and are too tight last night. Damnit! I have a lot of cute clothes that I cant go anywhere near because of about 3 kilos. This 3 kilos is doing a lot to depress me right now. I stopped tracking my calories because I don't even know how much alcohol I consumed on Friday night and who wants to know how many calories and fat are in an entire bag of chips? Not only do I feel like shit, but I can't seem to motivate myself either. I know that the way I am feeling is not new and I will work through it, but right now it feels pretty much like a death sentence. It is not that I don...

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...
