Jennie......I don't think anyone is disappointed in you at all...look at how far you've come? You had a few munchies.....not exactly an epic binge is it??! I've done far worse munching than that several million times and am still battling on!!
The trick is to not give up the good fight!! 2 steps forward, 1 step back - the general concensus is moving forward.
Chin up love.....:grouphugg:

WestieGirl ..... completely my fault ... caught me at a bad moment, have had dreadful tonsilitis and have not sleep for nearly a week so being a moody, sensitive and completely unreasonable cow at the moment ... i'm surprised my parents haven't stuck me in a taxi and sent me away this holiday. Many many apologies and thank you for your lovely message Sarah!
Sorry for hijacking your diary Jennie, hope you're feeling better. x

It's just gone 7.20pm Monday evening and I've sent off the festival ad to the guys.. heaven help them if it needs changing! Garden all done and looking MUCh better - sis got here just at the right time too - I'd done all the mucky bits and was just finishing off the grass cutting. Well chuffed!
All washing done, dried and in and folded. Room ready for her too now (thanks to Zoe) and we had time to sit in the sunshine and go shopping to Asda and then I sat in here (study) and did the advert.
So, sis and me are off to the pub tonight, not sure where and it won't be a late session, but all in all it's been lovely so far and I feel like I've achieved loads today.
I also cleared the rest of my garden and have a black sack mountain all ready to go!
Tired, but happy and had loads of time simply chilling out in the sunshine (which I adore doing!!).
Been 100% SSing today and still have one pack to go.
Thanks for all the messages.

Back from pub and had to amend the advert, all done and emailed off. We (sis and I ) went to my local pub and played darts. (I won 4 -0 ) and then sat and planned our holiday.
Weigh in tomorrow, mixed feelings about that but am sure it will be alright in the end.
Had my final pack just now and am off to bed in a few minutes.
Wish sis could stay longer. It's been really nice.
Back to work in the morning and a heavy week ahead, but, thank goodness, only a 4 dayer!!
Early nights planned every night, out celebrating Lucy's birthday on Friday and quiz Sunday. Off to visit my mother Saturday. Am going to try and fit in getting a new passport (as far too many people have said I am unrecognisable from current pic which is a pain as it's less than a year old!).. still, better to get it done than be refused exit/entry! Also tomorrow, seeing nurse for BP and weigh in and blood test results. Not worried about that too much. Will be nice to see her again, want to discuss skin issue.. its getting really bad now. Not pleasant at all!
Thanks again, JuJu - I think you are right about the emotional side of things but I won't be seeing a counsellor as no funds to do so. I think if you get a good counsellor they are worth their weight in gold so am really pleased you have a good un
Will share more thoughts and emotions tomorrow after weigh in... hmmm... very mixed emotions where usually I look forward.. oh well.. have to face the music I guess! (PLus I am looking forward to seeing Ailsa again) Zoe has abandoned the diet. She started to gag when she tried to make them on Saturday and that was that!! I need to go through her packs now and sort out what I like and don't like and hope Ailsa will swap them for me. I'm sure she will if she can.
Right, must get to bed as almost 11pm now. Goodnight all xx

Good old Jennie,got yourself back together again as quick as poss.thought you would.
Getting back into ketosis any time now I shouldn't wonder.
Sorry about Zoe, itobviously wasn't for her.
hope you have a good & unstressful week
When you feel you can look back on the W/E calmly & can try & put together cause & effect then it'll look more like a blip & less like a major detour.
Night night
ps nice to see old dressing table again

Tuesday April 10th
At work since 8.20am and loads done already. Got a fantastic surprise - all the newsletters bar one small pile have been taken so I don't need to worry about that job! I also rang Virgin Atlantic and yes I can take packs AND bars so long as all are packed in my suitcase (none in hand luggage). PLUS they are going to arrange assistance at Gatwick so I don't have to do a 15 minute walk there to the terminal! How good is that! I am relieved as I know the last time I flew from Heathrow the walking was very painful and my foot suffered for days after. My sis told me to tell them about my foot, so I did. I explained that I can't walk long distances but I can walk and can do so without a stick. The lady was lovely and explained there is loads of walking at Gatwick and she recommended a wheelchair.. I'm not that keen to be honest., spoke to sis and she insisted that I take it! So I have, but I don't feel good about it. I don't need a wheelchair.. a buggy ride would've done it. I guess they don't have buggys at Gatwick! Still it's one less thing to worry about. No sore foot when I get there!
I'm so pleased about the packs and bars thing. Will sit and work out a shopping list for Ailsa Sis and I have discussed what I will/won't be eating whilst out there and there is a microwave and kettle in our apartment so it's all good!! Will take mousse mix too as there is a fridge, and my blender. All will be in one small case with my shoes and handbags so they're not affecting the weight allowance AND it will mean space for prezzies on the return journey!
It's been a good start to a week I have been dreading. Not in the least bit tempted to eat at all yesterday or today (thus far) and Zoe is going to dog-sit at her boyfriend's uncle's house from tomorrow so I don't need to get food in for her this week. It will be lonely without her though
I think I will sort the clothes out tomorrow evening - just into size piles and (as I go) 'sell' or 'donate' piles too. That will make another room clear for May when I have guests coming. So 2 jobs in one really.
Am also going to see my friend Lisa and ask if she will come over and help floor the loft with me as she did hers with her ex hubby last summer so knows exactly what's involved. It'll also mean we get to chat as I haven't seen her in ages (and we are only 4 doors away!).
Still going to have early nights - starting tonight. Need to. Very early start here tomorrow. So, getting off now. Fingers crossed for tonight. Will report in upon my return and before I go to bed.
Once again, thank you for your messages. You're a smashing bunch, you really are. xxxx

Hey you! Just wanna send you a smasher of a hug. I've stuffed my face all weekend and am actually glad to be back on SS today! Feel so fat and bloated, even my husband said I looked like I'd put a fair bit of weight on the weekend
He was right, I've gained 12lb! in 4 days!! I'm not going to get weighed on Wednesday, I'll just pick up my packs. I'm not going to change my tracker either, I'll have the weight back off in a week hopefully and no real damage done except I've put myself a week or 2 behind getting to goal.
We'll get there chick, just sometimes we take a detour we'll always find the track again though

Hi Jennie
Just catching up quickly and really glad to see you're back on the SS trail again
I hope you have a fantastic holiday - and it's great news that you can take your packs with you (and really useful to know that airlines are OK about packing them in hold luggage too as a number of my clients have been asking about that too).
Good luck for your weigh-in tonight, honey!

Good luck for your weigh in tonight Jenny. I am sure you will not have done much damage.
With regards to your holiday, you will most probably go through immigration to the departure lounge in a wheelchair, but from there to the departure gate they use buggies mostly. Unless like my Mum you can't manage to step up on to them. Hope this helps

Hi Jennie,
Just caught up with your 'long' weekend - OUCH!.
Seems you went through the highs and lows alright.
Glad that the time with your friend was so nice and to be honest the tears at parting will mean so much to her as for you. (by the way di you get mum and daughter on friendly terms before you left - I kinda missed picking that up if you did).
As for what happened when you got home - DON'T WORRY.
You have been at this for 6 months approx now and to be honest, the number of slips I think we could all count on one hand (after a bad accident with a power saw!).
Just as this is a journey for life - we al lhave to cope with the ups and downs and you've had a 2 hour blip (if that).
heck people have had 'a week off, or Xmas off' and that is not the same - that is (to be frank) an excuse to cheat.
You made no such excuse to yourself - it just happened.
and now it has - you are back in control.
I have had the same and didn't last half the time you did before 'the blip'.
So, todays weigh in may show a slight 'OOPS', but that is all. If it does, then next week will more than correct that knowing you.
Look how you are planning ahead with your strategy for your hols (take the wheelchair - although I am sure they have buggies at Gatwick - cos you get your hand luggage carried for you, and as you are a girl, it wil lbe as big as a blinkin suitace anyway - spare makeup, spare hanies, spare undies, mints, hairbrushes, books, kitchen sinks .......... - LOL).
Sorry to hear Zoe has given it the heave ho - hopefully, you can practise your helathy post CD diet regime out on her to perfect it before you move onto it !.
Anyway, I suppose I am saying - one blip does not a failure make - by all means feel mad at yourself about it - but positively, don't get negative because no-one would call 8st loss in 6 months a failure!.
Bon courage

Tandem Skydive here I come!!!!
Firstly, thanks (yet again) for the messages. I'll try and answer individually another time as I want to get an early night and need to do an hour of festival stuff before hitting the sack (and I promised the dog a 10 minute walk!). So.. thank you all. You truly are a lovely bunch.. Karen.. don't worry about being harsh hon, you were spot on and I could take it, I couldn't have after the second 'confession' so thanks for being the darling you are
Ok.. cut to the chase...
Tonight I weighed in at.... 15 stone 0.3lbs!! A loss of 4.4lbs!!! Unbelievable! I can now organise my tandem skydive and, as Ailsa pointed out.. NEXT week I shall be in the 14's!!!!! I can't believe that!! I haven't seen 14stone anything since I was about 17 years old!
So, I'm happy with the loss this week and not at ALL complacent that it means I can cheat and 'get away with it' in fact, quite the opposite! I'm gritting my teeth all the more because I'm cross with myself still. lol NOT upset any more though. But am going to SS all week and damn well smash into those 14's if I can (although TOTM due Monday - still - I know that and am ready!)

Well done to you - you are such a star and have nothing to berate yourself for.
As Isobel said - you are only human .
You have achieved so much in such a short time and you will be at goal before you know it.
There are some people - you read their diary and you just KNOW that they have the guts and determination to see it through and then stay there - you are one such lady
Tasha
PS - I have done a tandem sky dive - in New Zealand - it is amazing - enjoy!

Back again!
That's absolutely fantastic Jennie & well deserved, blip or no blip, you've still been a trouper.
It doesn't seem any time at all that you were posting your disappointment at still not being at the right weight to sky dive and now here you are. Wonderful.
