Boo's SW Diary - My Story

Day 40 - Sunday 26 June 2011

Ah a last a nice sunny day and to boot its on a weekend too! Wayhey!!! hehe

Last night went really well although I do get the feeling that my mum and stepdad haven't got their heart in this diet. I do worry about there health especially my step dads who is nearly 22 stone and a type 2 diabetic as well. When he said what he'd eaten yesterday its just wasn't slimming world and because we weren't drinking, they didn't too although I have a funny feeling a bottle of wine was cracked open after we left.

It gets to me a bit although I guess it's his health but he's not really worried although he should be with all his health issues but I can't force it on him. I guess I might be feeling a little strongly over this as tomorrow it will be the anniversary of my late husbands passing of cancer, although this wasn't self inflicted my step dads illnesses (all weight related) is and I guess I just want him to fight to be as healthy as he can be, as some people don't get that chance.

Oh dear I've had a bit of a rant, sorry....:(

Back to today, I was supposed to be going out tonight but I feel terrible, my sinuses are playing up and I'm feeling sorry for myself. Mr Boo and my son are going so I'm going to treat myself to a bit of a pamper and then a relax.

This morning I had porridge and chopped banana for breakfast and then egg, bacon, 2 Asda LF sausages (2 syns), tomatoes for lunch. I've got chicken for dinner so I guess I'll have some new potatoes and salad with that although at the minute I feel stuffed.

Anyhoo, its a lovely day out there, I hope everyone is having a great day. Boo xx
 
Hi Boo - big hug for tomorrow hun, sure it will be a difficult day for you all xxx

P.s. did I hear you've got a date??? do tell lol xxx
 
Heya Boo

Huge (((hugs))) for tomorrow sweetie. Anniversaries like this are hard so do be kind to yourself.

We can only do so much. People have to want to help themselves :( but I sure see where you are coming from. hopefully as they see your weight going down etc and how much better you are feeling they may feel more inclined? I sure hope so.

Hope your sinuses are soon lots better. sudafed nasal spray is good, as is menthol crystals in boiling water and inhaling them. Only need a weeny bit as they are really strong

Have another ((hug)) sweetie and here if you need me tomorrow xxxxxx

Hiya Jackie

Thank you hun, yes I do agree with you and I guess your right maybe they will be more inclined when they see me and Mr Boo losing the weight.

As for the sinuses, I'm waiting for an operation on them, I do use the menthol crystals in my steamer and they're great.

Have a great bbq Jackie, the weather here is gorgeous xx Boo xx
 
Ok, tonight I'm proper feeling sorry for myself :eek: and to top it off I've gone up to 15 syns which I never do :eek:

I'm questioning whether I'm being too hard on myself, I'm feeling bloated but I am coming up to my star week - I'm on my own this evening with the two dogs and its easier to pick at things.

These past two days I've eaten a lot more than usual but still sw friendly and I'm trying to get my head round the fact that its ok - I've also got tomorrow to contend with :( at least I'm at work so I'll be distracted for best part of the day (or so I say).

Mr Boo is very understanding and supportive, I should be happy having a night to myself for a pamper but I'm feeling lonely tonight :(

Sorry I know its another whinge but if I can't whinge here where can I lol :cool:

Ok, syns for today are 2 bags of funsize maltesers, I think thats 10 syns but not sure, 1 jumbo snack a jack 3 syns and 2 LF asdas sausages = 15 syns

I guess I'll only have 5 tomorrow I'll just fill up on ss food - I won't be surprised if I don't lose this week.

Blimey I'm a right misery tonight :eek: Boo xx
 
Boo I don't know if you are the same, but when the anniversary of my lovely Dad passing is looming, or his birthday, or fathers day I think about it alot, it gets me down. The day itself is never as bad as the lead up.

Sweetie be kind to yourself. You spent alot of your life together you are bound to have feelings and miss him (((hugs)))

Plus with star week looming you will feel more like picking and be bloated.

Have another ((hug))) sweetie. 15 syns is not the end of the world you are allowed them. The syns are part of the diet for a good reason, so you had them, you enjoyed them, end of mate, you've done nothing wrong

loads of love

Thanks for the hugs Jackie :)

You are right in what you are saying about the lead up to anniversaries, birthday, passing etc, I have edited this post a lot before I posted it lol. I don't want to get too heavy because that's not who I am or indeed who he was too, so I'll raise my glass of squash to my darling late husband and to your lovely dad. God bless em. Boo xx
 
And I'll join you in raising a glass sweetie :) I am sure they are up there watching down on us thinking we are a silly pair :) but hey we can't help our feelings can we.

Its good to talk so you type away. Better out than in, and many of us have been through similar and are all here to support you. ((hugs)) and here if you need me okay?

Hi Boo - I've just read through your diary and first of all would like to say I am sorry you are feeling down, although it is perfectly understandable. Not only have you got tomorrow to contend with you also have Mr Boo who is not very well, a stressful job and you aren't feeling on top form yourself with your sinuses. Don't be too hard on yourself :grouphugg:

I hope you don't think I'm cheeky by posting but I didn't want to read and run.

P.S You have done brilliantly on the weight loss.

Hiya Clareel

Thanks hun, today hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be, I think its more the lead up to it than the actual event. Hope your day is going well Boo xx
 
Just popped in to say thinking of you today xxx

Hiya Jackie

Thanks for thinking of me, I'm not too bad, as the lead up is worse than the acutal day.

I hope your day has been a good one and I'll pop over to your diary soon. Boo xx
 
Day 41 Monday 27 June 2011

Well its been a bit of a weird day but not too bad. Its been so bloomin hot here and now looks like its going to storm!

This morning I had a banana and 2 alpen bars for breakfast, then for lunch I had ham and cheese salad with an activia vanilla yogurt with an apple.

Mr Boo has made beef burgers tonight with slimming world chips and salad which I'll have soon, I'm really looking forward to it as I'm bloomin starving.

I had a bit of a panic this morning as I couldn't find a summer top to fit, all last years ones are too big size 22 and the ones I've had in my suitcase for a while because they have been too small are still too small! Meh! I ended up with a top that I'm not too happy about but there you go.

Anyhoo I hope everyone is having a lovely day abite it being a very hot one! Boo xx
 
Well I've just had my burger and chips and it was lovely, well done Mr Boo!

He's also made a chicken liver pate today and I've sampled a bit and it tastes lovely too, so I'm having some with crackers and a salad tomorrow.

I've changed into a vest top and shorts in the hope of being a little cooler but its not worked! Darn this weather, anybody would think its summer lol ;);) Boo xx
 
Well done that last years tops don't fit :D thats a fab feeling but not so good you haven't much else. You will have to treat yourself :)

mmmmm homemade burgers and chips, thats my plan for tomorrows tea. I used the recipe from last months sw magazine and it was so lovely last time so may well do it again. Even the kids all ate it.

It went over black here a while ago but unreal the sun is now out again

Glad your day wasn't so bad ((hugs))

Hiya Jackie

I am over 2 1/2 stone lighter than this time last year, through different diets I managed to lose just over a stone and the rest is due to sw :D

Its really dark and oppressive (sp?) here so I guess it won't be long before the storm starts :( I hope it clears the air tho.

Hope your having a nice relaxing evening Boo xx
