Abi's weightloss diary - post jaw surgery

well i went in the bath, stayed there for a couple of hours with a book until the water really WAS cold, ha. then went straight to bed. so a really early night. but i did get to finish a cheesy detective book i was reading and can start another today :) wicked is on hold until i have time to curl up and concentrate on it. hopefully tomorrow :)

am at work now. nothing has blown up yet but then i've only been here 16 minutes so give it time... every time i've been here on my own lately something catestrophic has happened that i've had to deal with so i'm hoping that it won't today...

feeling less munchy and less mad today, although my weight is still going up. it's really bizarre!! i have my first litre of water waiting in front of me and i've had a coffee. porridge later :) i'm here until seven so want to leave that where it is for as long as possible.

my weight may be going up but today i put on my 'size 17' trousers, which i had worn before but were a bit tight and not very flattering, and they look great. in fact they are a bit baggy in places, although not over my tummy, but on the waist and thighs they are. so the size 16 by christmas is starting to look like it could be a reality :) woohoo!! ha.

i have a loooooooooooong 10 hours in front of me, and have a meeting in a couple of hours about the application i'm writing at the mo so will prepare for that shortly :)

Your bath sounded great!!! weird your weight going up. ??Water retention maybe. TOTM and all that. 10hrs is a long shift. Are you gonna buy yourself something nice when you get to size 16?
 
i really don't know janey. i haven't thought about it at all!! ha. i was thinking of maybe getting a nice dress, but when i think about it i may actually have some. and i don't want to spend loads of money on new clothes when my goal size is a 14, although i do have plenty of clothes in that size... i think i may have to try on all my old clothes when i get to a 16 and see if any of them fit... not sure any of the dresses will but we can but try :) failing that i might just stick to the skirts i've got which will continue to hang on my hips for some time i think...

You forget how much stuff you have sometimes. I think i have some lovely bits but its been that long since I looked at them. Thats my goal size too.
Your skirts will be falling off yer hips soon.
 
i totally forgot i had them. i think most of them are tucked away in a box in the attic. but the thought of actually fitting into them again has always seemed like such a ridiculous notion (since i have been trying to do just that for around seven years) that i haven't really considered it before.
 
Hi hun,

Hope you don't mind me intruding on your diary but i just wanted to ask you about your experience of the higher plans, i'm moving up the plans to 1000 for Dec, but i'm considering moving up to 810 this week,But i was wondering why you didn't get on with it? i don't want to move up if it will be a waste of time, but i've almost had enough of SS and think that now i'm no longer obese perhaps i shouldn't be losing quite so fast....i don't know i'm all confused!

Anyway i think what i'm asking is, did you gain weight on the higher plans or was it just not fast enough for you?

Have a good day,

hey there hon. intrude away :D it's good to have you.

i didn't gain weight on the higher plans. i did lose around 2lb a week on 810 and 1-2 on 1000 and the amount of food on 1000 was great :D

but the reason i went up on the plans was because of the hormonal fluctuations and problems i was having on ss. when i moved up the plans these became less, but they didn't go all together. and i decided that i would rather grit my teeth, get on with it, and then if i was monstrous and moody it would only be for a short span of time. and that's what i've done :)

also i went from 1000 plan to denmark with lots of danish pastries and when i came back 1000 didn't seem like a treat any more and i felt like i was 'on a diet' so it made sense that if i was going to feel that way i may as well go the whole hog. bearing in mind that i still had over 3 stone to go at the time!! going from ss up to 810 is wonderful, and going up to 1000 is sublime. FRUIT!! ha. and i found it difficult to eat all the food, ha. but it is lovely. but yes. i wanted rid of my weight faster and decided i would rather be really grumpy for a couple of months rather than slightly less grumpy for longer, but that is my own personal side effect. so far so good for me. yesterday was my first really bad day, ha.

does that help at all? sorry i waffled a bit. feel free to ask any questions you like. given that your bmi is in the overweight range and you have about 2 stone to go i don't think you'll have a problem as long as you have the patience. at the moment i am planning on ssing up to christmas and then hopefully i'll have to move up the plans in any case if i get to 12st 7.

Thats a really big help thank you, i think that i'm ready to slow things down a bit now, i don't feel grotesque when i look in the mirror anymore and that makes a big difference. I'm still 100% committed to losing weight but i think that i will move up the plans over the next few weeks to xmas and then rethink in Jan. If i want to SS to get the last stone off i will if not i will do it on one of the higher plans.

I'm still shocked at myself for writing this, i'm the worlds biggest fan of SS, and i can't believe i'm even thinking of going on to the higher plans early. I have noticed how much i rely on a good weight loss each week.....to the point of obsession, i was in a foul mood all last week when the scales were'nt moving and i'm getting slightly obsessed with not eating. So i think it may be time for a change....who knows i will have a think about it and discuss with cdc 2moro.

Thanks for letting me ramble on to you, non cd'rs just don't understand the dillema (sp)!

ha. no worries hon. but at your current weight you will be at bmi 25 plus a stone soon anyway? which is when it's advised to move up the plans. so you could always ss until then and then at least you have a specific target to work towards :D

i have been talking to a lady at work about what i've been doing and she said she might want to take up the 1000 plan when i train to be a cdc. result!! ha. not the intention of the conversation, but it's always nice to be asked :)

abz xx
 
Oooh i love it!

A true business woman, marketing already lol!

I think you will find a lot of your friends and collegues will join you hun, look at your results! also they trust you, its easier to discuss a potentially embarrasing thing like weight with a friend.

Good luck and thanks for the advice
