Meeting Beck



What a fabulous day Saturday was. Meeting Beck of course was the hightlight! She is incredible and so full of energy! We had coffee and talked and talked and talked. It was so good for me.

She also gave me a box full of goodies as a b-day pressie. I was really touched. I wish I could keep her here! And Bradman! He is so adorable, you just want to squeeze him.

It is hard to put into words, but Beck is a truly inspiring woman. I couldn't ask for a better friend to share this journey with, and I know that she will kick my arse into gear if I ever need it.

We went into Sparkles and there was this Merilyn Monroe style dress hanging on the wall that I thought looked hot so we asked if they had any others for me to try on. All they had was one other dress and it was a small. I said, "there is no way that is fitting me!" And the girl and Beck both said, "Go try it on!"

It fit. Beck took a photo. We'll have to wait for her entry to see it. I looked really good in that dress, but it was sort of a cheap material and had a price tag of $75. I couldn't buy it. But we do have the photographic evidence.

You see that firey orange necklace I am wearing in the picture? Beck bought me that at Sparkles. I got heaps of comments on it later on because I wore it out for b-day drinks.

And the drinks? I planned to not go overboard like last weekend but I had a few too many free drinks... Today I am also going to have birthday cake at my mum-in-laws.

What does all of that mean? Well it means I better get my bum in gear and work hard this week.

To match a vivid person!

I had such a blast. I can't tell you. I get really nervous meeting people for the first time. "Does she like me? Am I talking to much?..oh my god I am talking to much". and so on.

You made me feel so comfortable. You say ~I~ inspire you? You've made it. Im still sitting at my starting weight and you are (almost) where you want to be. You looked amazing. I only wish to wear clothes like yours one day. Yes, even the MArilyn Monroe one.

I'm off to do my write up and post all the pics.

All my love!

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?
