ugh

I worked hard all week. I had a great week with very good eating! I honestly did. But I am starting to rethink the Monday weigh-in now. I know I did it that way to try to make me be consistent and eat well on the weekend, but I had such a bad day yesterday that I am worried all my hard work will be undone.

I am nowhere near my scale so I can't find out the horrible truth.

I am blown away with all the wonderful comments on my new design! A few people have questioned the lizard, and I have no real reason except that I thought it looked good. I was going to put a turtle, you know slow and steady wins the race, but the turtle didn't look as good as the lizard. So there you go. What reasoning skills I have!

I am seriously thinking of rejoining Weight Watchers. But at the moment we are soooo poor. We may not even be able to buy our groceries unless we put them on credit.

I want to make some necklaces to take around to local shops to see if they'd be interested in selling them because I've had so many lovely comments about the ones I've made for myself, but I don't even have the money for the materials. *sigh* And time, that is something I never have enough of.

I went with a friend from work to the Shutzenfest yesterday (spending money we don't have) and I saw the sister of this girl and I said hello and was on my way. I never ran into her again, which I think was a good thing because I really didn't want any drama in my day. I had a good time and had a few German beers, but it started raining so we left around 4:30. I was so tired from all the beer that I ate a hamburger and chips from our local fish shop and fell right to sleep at 8pm.

This would be why I am now awake at 6am on a Sunday.

I'm sorry to read about your lean financial times. I know how hard that can be, and wish we could all win a lottery - even a small one - to help ease the day-to-day fiscal stress that so many of us face.

Sounds like you've got lots of irons in the fire, though. AND a great blog to boot. I'll be back!

I love the new look but am finding the actual blog hard to read due to the background - just thought I'd say so.

You are very clever doing this though!

hey! i love the new patterns babe! I am thinking kind of kaleidoscope movie thing? Maybe? It so sucks that healthy food costs more than crap food doesn't it? If we could have a packet of chips, a pie and an iced coffee a day we'd be laughing ( and fat) but laughing! I think you should DEFINITELY sell your gorgeous jewellery! Maybe put one item as an auction on your site. Seriously - it could be really fun!!!! Everything big starts with tiny little baby steps. You have a great network here, so use it. Your necklaces would make GREAT presents and we all buy presents. Use the money from your first one to buy your materials for the next two and fly chicken little, fly!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey look at you! I leave for the weekend and come back to -- wow! to the layout and your plan, and the updated pix, love your hair.

All the best Rebeka as you renew your commitment on this journey. You inspire me always.

Me again - I can read this better now. Did you tone the background down or am I losing it? Anyway, it looks great and I'm sorry about your money worries...

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...
