Hi Hun!
Sorry to hear the foot is still not better - but it was worth it though wasn't it
Glad you resolved your differences with sister - and before you went to bed too
Sorry to hear 'Eric' is being a pain - personally I think you 'could do better, much better'
Sure you will have another great loss this week at them scales - you deserve to, too
You got the dress, yay, but not in an 18 - you are so not gonna get much wear out of it as you ain't gonna be a size 24 for long - hope you know a good seamstress
I'm glad you thought you looked OK in the pics - you looked great - and I know I sound like a stuck record but you look years younger than you are - and no make-up either - how lucky are you - I look like a bag of sh*te with no make-up - honest I do
I have to say I think waitin till July for another meet is a bit too far away - how about early May? I have a feeling further into the summer months and alot of people will be on holidays
Anyway, I have four job apps sat on the table begging to be completed.....well my bank balance is begging for them to be completed.....along with OH...LOL so best get them done!
Catch up later tonight.
Lots of love

xxoh yeah!! whats the deal with the size 24 eh??!!! you guys have me seriously thinking about swapping it for a smaller size! Ailsa said the same thing!! Hmmm... wonder if they have it in a 22 or 20... OMG I can't even believe I am thinking like this! A size 20 for goodness sake - that's like... well... the size i was when I was 20 years old!! I think a 22 might be safer...
I had a bridesmaids dress for my bros wedding and it was a size 20.....they had to take it in to a 12......it didn't look perfect...but darn...size 20 was falling off. Only 4 stone difference.....that frock is going to need to get taken in something rotten!!!

Get the dress in a size 20 missus, you will be fitting into it before you know it I guarantee it
When I embarked on my VLCD last year my aim was to get to a size 18 - so I could go into pretty much any shop.....well I was still over 2 stone from goal and was in a size 16 and it was loose........so you will definately be less than a size 20 when you finish........
Oh yeah, and I reckon another WeMitt BHam meet should be scheduled for late April (after Easter)/early May(after Bank Holiday weekend) so loads of people can come. Also the weather will be a bit nicer then (fingers crossed ) but it shouldn't be too hot that people will feel uncomfortable in Flares - as it was quite warm at the weekend.....or was that just me and the vodka
One job app done, 3 to go ....Doom......hope I get one of them else any future meet ups may have to stop and that so wouldn't be good for me.....or you either
Replied on your other thread - but well done on the loss again this week - your a little super star
Lots of love

I want to wear it in January - I think a 22 will be optimistic enough!!! Am still not sure about that - although Ailsa did say to get a 22 as she is sure I'll be in it easily in Jan! lol I wish I had the same confidence that you lot have in me! LOL Will hve a think. By the time I get to goal I want to be a 14/16!! That will be, umm, about October time I guess..

11.30pm Night night xxx
Right, as I have been on here for hours and not finished me day's diary I shall try and do so now... very quickly! Where did I get to? Oh yes... texting "Eric".
Left the office and shot home to let the mutt out and get changed into my weigh in clothes...(size 30 trousers and brown & white top). Hate these trousers now... anyway... fell asleep on chair in living room having drunk a chilli soup and a pint of water. Still not recovered from the weekend.. lol.. Got to Ailsa and chatted loads (she has the patience of a saint!).. weighed in - lost another 4.8lbs which incredibly means 3 stone 1.1lbs off so far! I can't believe it! So... chose my packs for the forthcoming week.. as I have now discovered the soups are tasty, I have some of chicken & mushroom and also the oriental chilli.. plus my wonderful toffee & walnut and butterscotch and, I think, vanilla too.
"Eric" rang me whilst I was there - obviously on his way home from work so nothing better to do than talk to me whilst stuck in traffic! Couldn't chat as with Ailsa and not being rude! So told him to call me back. lol He did sound a tad put out! lol
When I left I rang him (flippin cost me a fiver!!!)... we had quite a talk - he told me he had mixed up his dates with the kids and was having them Saturday not Friday so couldn't come to the gig, I told him I had already guessed he wouldn't come! I wasn't very pleased! So I asked him where that left us and he started talking about next weekend!!! I asked him what was wrong with Friday??? He ummed and ahhed so I told him to forget it, that I had already asked him if he had time for me in his life and he had said he would make time. I told him that his hesitation clearly meant that no, he didn't want to see me and that was a shame as I would have liked to see him again. I said let's just forget it, he was saying that he really did want to see me and I told him that it's no good saying these things - you have to make them happen and that IF he wanted to see me on Friday I would expect him to come up here to me. I was NOT driving down to him again.
I told him I was fed up of being messed around and that if he really wanted to see me he would jump at every opportunity to do so, not umm and ahh about it. I told him I had to go and that he should think about what he wanted and that, at the moment, I didn't have anything in my diary for Friday evening but I will be out Thursday and Saturday!
I was pretty harsh but to be honest, I think that seeing him once a fortnight is crap!! AND, it would have been more than that by next weekend!!!! Not having it! I deserve better! I moaned at his lack of contact and told him how I felt. He was adamant that he does want me and does want to see me but that he has so much going on in his life and his head - OH PULEASE!!!!! So I told him I had loads going on in mine too and my head too but that is irrelevant - he has to decide whether he really wants to see me or not! I told him that he owed me the same level of respect and consideration that I had shown him!!! He said that there was nothing he could say to that. HA!
I told him I was home all evening and if he wanted to call me to do so. Well, predictably, he hasn't so that, I think we can safely say, is the end of "Eric". Selfish pri*k!
Rang my sis to tell her my weight loss and she asked if I'd like to go clubbing with her on Friday night but I declined... my foot isn't up to that again so soon! But we agreed for me to go down and see her and go out with her next Friday! lol So tough on "Eric" if he suggests seeing me then - but I don't think I'll hear from him again anyway... his chance was tonight and he blew it - BIG STYLE! If I hear nowt tomorrow then he is deleted from my phone and designated to the bin for men who mess me about and think that it's ok to treat me so pants!!!
I'm NOT having that again! No one-sided relationships for me! Rather be on me own than that! Not even on any dating sites now... sod men! (apologies to men reading this - on second thoughts, no, no apologies!!) Well, sod them until January! lol
Got home and had 2 muffins for dinner and a couple of pints of water.. sat and rang my mate Daryl and arranged for her to meet me at the gig on Sat night. Didn't get 'round to the other phone calls I intended to make so will do them tomorrow.
Car is going in for its service tomorrow afternoon, boss is coming in sometime in the morning so no coming on here, I promised to watch an ebay item for Zoe but it runs out at about midday which is when my boss will DEFINITELY be there!!! So - that could be difficult! I might just say to him that I made a promise to Zoe and hope he won't mind.
Sat here most of the evening on this site catchin up and posting stuff all over the place! lol I am definitely thinking of swapping my dress for a size 22 now... hmm... maybe tomorrow!
Zoe's gone to bed (sensible girl!) - Oh my goodness - it's 11.30pm!!! I need my bed and leccy blanky!!!
Right- will catch up with you all tomorrow afternoon sometime! (or mebbe 1st thing in't morning).
Night night xxx that's another day done, another weigh in over and a whole new start again in the morning xxx

Thanks ladies - I just am fed up of men (and people in general) thinking they can treat me like poo and expect me to still come up smiling! I decided when I started this diet that I wasn't going to take it any more!
I really want to see "Eric" but not at the expense of my self-respect and emotional well-being. NO man is worth that!
Earlier yesterday I said I would email him the pics that Mich took and I did. Email in reply saying that it looked like I was having a great time. lol No compliments.. the man is a muppet! *sigh I'm NOT going to contact him again. I'd rather chew broken glass than be the one doing the running.. and anyway, I can't run! lol (too fat and too crippled!) lol Foot STILL hurting!! Grrr... and cold is far worse this morning so I rang in sick.. I know, I know.. I should have gone in, but I am so cold and tired and snuffly.. I had to take Zoe for her lift and then I cam straight home, whacked the heating up to full tilt (Gas is going to cost me a fortune this winter!).. rang boss and came on here. I'm going to go back to bed in a minute and snuggle down with my book and hopefully have a kip. Just feel shivery etc and bunged up head. Nowt serious -just a cold but I think if I do this today I shall be fine for tomorrow and tomorrow night! MUST decide what to wear tomorrow night - thought I might wear the outfit I wore to meet my WeMitt buddies in Brum... hair down though (I DO listen Mich..lol)... tis only jeans and a blue top with white sleeves, but I feel comfy in it and Zoe always says something nice when I wear it...
Not had any of my packs yet - I just messaged Russian Doll to ask how to make "porridge" as I think that would do me good today.. I think I'll have a mug of bouillon to warm me up for now.. or hot drink of water with the flavouring in .. I don't have that very often.. also need to have some of that 89 stuff (the one that helps you poo.. lol)
Bought a paper on the way back from dropping Zoe off.. might actually read it today!
I was writing something on another post last night and realised that there are so many ways to help myself to stick to this diet - as I was typing them I thought, blimey, I haven't done ALL of these yet but I shall!
I also had a think about the things I will do when I have lost enough..
1. tandem parachute jump in aid of National Childrens Homes (have to be under 16 stone to do that - so perhaps, umm.. May next year should see me there! So be prepared - I'll be after sponsorship! lol)
2. water ski (not got the best foot for this but fancy having a bash one afternoon in the summer (too cold any other time!)
3. Abseil (another charity event - I dunno the weight for this but I would guess it's probably around the 13 stone marker.. so that will be summer 07... again , I'll be scouting for sponsorship!! lol)
4. Have a full body massage - this will have to be when I get to goal or very close as I hate my body so won't expose it even to a masseuse! So, that will be next october or thereabouts..
5. Have a professional photo shoot - again this will have to be when I have lost masses more - probably wait until my birthday (November) next year and ask family to give money towards it
6. Go on a cruise on my own on the QE2. I loved my holiday on the QE2 this summer with my mother but would love to do it again, slim and solo. It changed my life. This diet is changing my life - correction - by sticking to this diet I am changing my life. At the end of it - or perhaps even before then - I want to experience the cruise alone, with the freedom to do as I wish, when I wish... which would be sunbathing all day and dancing all evening (well, not every night as foot is so bad!) lol To enable me to do that I will have to do something else too...
7. Get a new job! I need a full time job with lots of people, one that will challenge me and help me develop the skills I used to have but that have lain unused for the last 6 years! This is something I will be doing in the New year - regardless of my weight. I HAVE to do it or within 18 months I will have to sell my home! So.. although it is a wish list, this is also a necessity!
8. Go white water rafting. Need to fit comfortably into a wetsuit for this one, so I reckon next August might be about right, or September..
9. Go up in a helicopter again. I did this a few years ago on holiday in Fuerteventura but was so fat and cramped in the back when I wanted to sit up front next to the pilot. So, when I am at goal this is something I shall also have to save up for!!
10. Parascend off the back of a boat again. I did this about 4 years ago in Cyprus with my sister, and it was an incredible experience, however, I only just got into the harness and the photos are horrid. So... this is something I want to do when loads slimmer... probably carry this over to 2008 as I will try and go away for a long weekend to Cyprus or somewhere equally hot! (Just LOVE the sunshine!)
11. Go to evening classes and get a teaching qualification or new skill. NO IDEA what I will do on this score, but am discussing it with friends and having a good think about it! lol
So... those are my self-centred goals for when this weight has gone/as it goes. They are in addition to my normal ones of
a) getting below 19stone 11lbs (that's what I weighed 10 years ago when I got married to now ex)
b) being able to buy clothes off the peg in any shop
c) weighing 13stone (that's what I weighed when I left school at 16)
d) getting into my new dress and looking and feeling good in it! (hopefully January, if not then Feb for sure)
e)wearing my size 20 clothes that are still in a suitcase in the spare room!
I have loads of goals and targets but they are all on very different levels and new ones are added all the time.. lol
For now though, instead of focusing on the fact that I still have over 10 stone to go, my goal is to stick to this diet every day, one day at a time!
Gosh - I've droned on as usual! lol ho hum... well... it is MY diary! lolol Catch up with you all later xxx

So... this is something I want to do when loads slimmer... probably carry this over to 2008 as I will try and go away for a long weekend to Cyprus or somewhere equally hot! (Just LOVE the sunshine!)
11. Go to evening classes and get a teaching qualification or new skill. NO IDEA what I will do on this score, but am discussing it with friends and having a good think about it! lol
So... those are my self-centred goals for when this weight has gone/as it goes. They are in addition to my normal ones of
a) getting below 19stone 11lbs (that's what I weighed 10 years ago when I got married to now ex)
b) being able to buy clothes off the peg in any shop
c) weighing 13stone (that's what I weighed when I left school at 16)
d) getting into my new dress and looking and feeling good in it! (hopefully January, if not then Feb for sure)
e)wearing my size 20 clothes that are still in a suitcase in the spare room!
I have loads of goals and targets but they are all on very different levels and new ones are added all the time.. lol
For now though, instead of focusing on the fact that I still have over 10 stone to go, my goal is to stick to this diet every day, one day at a time!
Gosh - I've droned on as usual! lol ho hum... well... it is MY diary! lolol Catch up with you all later xxx
