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.

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...
