Weigh-in for Saturday Aug 6th

Although I wanted to see more of a loss, I have to say the fact that I'm going back down is a relief in itself. I weighed in at 67.4 kg and had a loss for the week of 300 grams.

I did have difficulty getting my mind back into weight-loss mode. I'd been coasting along for a few weeks and it takes time to stop the bad habits and reintroduce new ones.

I am amazed at the response to my post from Friday morning. It is such a good feeling to know that I've helped some of my readers begin to deal with their own feelings. I've tried writing to everyone that I had email addresses for, but Khazzy if you are still reading, I hope you know that if you want someone to talk things through with I would be happy to be there for you.

Plus I had obligated myself to go see a Goldclass movie with my mum-in-law (it was her mother's day gift from us) and she had asked me during the week if she could redeem it this weekend.

I was in such a state I tell you. I had a mind splitting headache, you know the kind where everything around you just vibrates off your head when you are walking? And I had to survive on around 4 hours sleep. All I wanted was to go to bed.

I somehow made it through Monster In Law (that Jane Fonda has still got it ladies) but after that my mood was very shitty. I was grumpy and sleepy and I couldn't put on the shiny happy face. We ended up eating dinner at Fasta Pasta, and although I had an entree serve it was probably still too much food for me.

I still haven't bought Flickr, and now I think I need to do a little calculating on the finances before I buy it. I have a girls weekend in the Baroosa and the very next weekend in Melbourne coming up at the end of this month, and to be able to pay for that I need to watch the cash.

It's amazing how you're inspiring so many people. Not many people can claim they've done this! Congratulations for the loss and your bravery in dealing with all the difficult issues life has brought your way.
Ohhhh poor sausage. I hope you replenished all your lost vitamin B after your hangover!

Thanks for your email, you are just the sweetest woman.

I haven't had a hangover like that in a long time. I usually just crave diet coke and grease.

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
