Day 54

Hi all,

Day 54. Not a lot to report. Been really busy at work. I've been worrying about Jess and how she is getting on. Its horrible when your little ones are stressed/unhappy/suffering. I am sure she will have done a good job though and she will feel heaps better about doing another one, should that situation ever arise.

Blunt is still ignoring me........so funny. Face like a slapped backside.

Crush gave me a nice smile when he walked past early this morning. Haven't seen him since. Still, there's been enough eye candy being posted on here to keep a girl happy

Planning on having a nice quiet and relaxing evening tonight. Hope you can all have that for yourselves too.

Take care xxx

Today's poem....this sums up our minis community for me

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]I Shall Be Glad [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, sans-serif]Poet: Grace Noll Crowell[/FONT] [FONT=arial, sans-serif]If I can put new hope within the heart
Of one who has lost hope,
If I can help a brother up
Some difficult long slope
That seems too steep for tired feet to go,
If I can help him climb
Into the light upon the hill's far crest,
I shall begrudge no time
Or strength that I spend,
For well I know
How great may be his need.
If I can help through any
Darkened hour, I shall be glad indeed.

For I recall how often I have been
Distressed, distraught, dismayed,
And hands have reached to help,
And voices called
That kept me unafraid.
If I can share this help that
I have had, God knows I shall be glad. [/FONT]

The Crowell poem is lovely Chels. xx

Morning Chels --

I second, Bess. Lovely poem.

Re: Vitality Show -- Saturday is better for me.

I am going to bake and deliver birthday treats on the Friday. The party is not going to be at the child's house, but at a Play Zone, so I begged off attending.

DD is playing a sleep over with a friend, but the BFF will come at dinner time -- and DD and DS can manage without me, until I get home.

I hope you are having a good day so far.

I am loving the sun. Yeah!

I am going to check out Jess' diary and see if she posted about the presentation.

Hi Chels, hope you are ok this morning. xx

Day 55

Morning Bess, MM and everyone.

I am feeling well. Got called a skinny minnie this morning I would have probably thought that they might have had a slight point, but my thighs and a*se are still showing signs of resistance. I think that 18 of the 20lbs I have lost has come off my collarbones, chest and midriff My work trousers are getting very baggy, especially around the hips, but in relation to the rest of me, this area still looks quite large. I'll get there though......

I had a very strange thing happen to me yesterday and scratch my head wondering why these things always seem to happen to me. If you remember the pervy creep from the dating site of a few weeks ago, well this is worse as I actually know the guy. It's a long story that I will try to cut down. You may want to move onto another diary now........while the going is good

When I was 18 I was out with a friend in a really busy pub and there was this guy standing at the bar, about 25 feet away from me and we caught each other's eye and BAM!!! I don't know what happened but something 'happened'. We both said we felt it, once we got started talking. He was really good looking and the kissing was just the most amazing thing..........never mind anything else that took place a few weeks.....oh ok...days later

I have never had that experience before or since and it was very heady stuff. He was in the RAF so I would not see him all the time, we would exchange letters and be beside ourselves for his leave time. Anyway, this went on for a few months. Then he said he'd enquired about married quarters etc. and I thought "no way" Got really freaked out and sent him a letter saying I didn't want to see him anymore. He was heartbroken. I moved on

Two years ago I kept getting little reminders about him, songs, number plates etc., and I tracked him down on FB. We exchanged a couple of messages/emails and decided to meet for a drink. OMG, not the boy I remembered at all. Bitter and twisted 56 year old. He couldn't even be bothered to put a clean shirt on, his polo had stains all over the front of it. We had one more drink the following week. It was fine but no chemistry. I was happy to catch up with him and talk about old times though. Anyway, I suddenly get an email saying all sorts of horrible things about how he perceived me and he no longer wanted us to meet.

Yesterday I got a message via FB to say that he knew him contacting me would p*ss me off but he wanted us to be friends and he had forgotten how much I used to turn him on. Said he had his reasons for not pursuing things. (Bovvered?) I told him that I was P***ed off with him for what he had said about me and perhaps he would like to share his reasons? Next thing...all kinds of horrible stuff about how he likes s*x, threesomes, indoors/outdoors, was I up for all that. Was I feeling h*rny enough to drive over to see him? You can imagine my replies......... What gives him the right after no contact for 2 years? I was so mad. It really gets me thinking that there must be something about me that attracts all these creeps.

Sorry girlies for such a long post. Its Bess' fault, she asked me how I was hahahahahaha

 

[Katycakes]

Ugh Chels, think you had a lucky escape, sometimes the ones that get away are actually MEANT to get away. And he sounds quite sad really, dirty old man in all of the senses, grubby guy who instinctively knew he wasn't good enough for you.

Forget him, and be glad that your s*** detector is working well.

Skinny Minnie!!! I am so happy for you chick, you have made this work and you absolutely deserve the compliments - this one will not be the last!

@ the Vitality show, if you, Jess & MM find any spare vitality lying around, please send me some!

[Bess]

What Katy said.

Nothing to do with you Sweetie, a lot of desperate creeps out there, but some lovely ones and one of the latter will be lining up for you! xx

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Chels,

I think sometimes these happen because we are thinking that we "need" something -- and what we get is the message "Be careful what you ask for...".
So, I think the universe is letting you know that what you already have is fantastic and focus on "the moment".
I, personally, think that these creeps are always out there -- and I don't "get the exposure" because I am not "out there" -- I am barefoot and chained to the cooker! lol

I hope you have a skinny minny day... I am looking forward to having someone tell me that I am looking "too thin".

MM

 

[Chelsea Lou]

Jess, lol, I wouldn't mind but he came looking for me. I haven't given him another thought in almost 2 years!!!

Jack Sparrow, would that be the one that carried a deflated red balloon (?) and bars of chocolate in his man bag to give to the children of the village where he lived? Gold toothed, (3 gold ones and about 4 whitish ones in his entire mouth)? Long, corn- woven hair, lived near stonehenge, wore a black round-necked t shirt with a white tie, and drove.....da da daaaa........a posh jaguar? Would it be him you are talking about???

He looked nice in his photos.......must get onto the Trades Description act lol

 

[Chelsea Lou]

(love you xxx)

Its too late to start trying to reel me back in now.....young lady :8855:

Day 56 and a whooo hooo from me!!!

Very happy this morning. I jumped on my scales for the first time in months and they recorded 10 stone 9 lbs which equals the lightest I got to in 2009 and 9lbs from goal

I know my scales use to measure me identically to CDCs and also I have to bear in mind that this is a first-thing-in-the-morning weight, with no clothes on, so I am reckoning that I am 1lb down on Tuesday's WI so might be lucky to have a 2lbs loss by next Tuesday. It was just so lovely to see 149 lbs looking back at me.

I hope everyone is ok this morning. I've been glued to the news all last night and now again this morning. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan. Earthquake, tsunami and now the chance of a nuclear meltdown.........puts everything into a bit of perspective.

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[trisha]

well done on the loss, you're doing great and a inspiration to us all :happy036:

 

[Chelsea Lou]

Aw thanks Trisha, that is a lovely thing to say. I have to confess though, that it is reading all the wonderful stories on minis that inspire me. I don't think I would have got very far without my lifeline. Everyone here has been so wise, supportive, amusing and just great.

Have a great day hun x
