Diary of a VERY Determined Girl!

back home and scoffing 4quorn sausages yumyum boyfriend had take away while i was out, and left majority of it but binned it so i wouldnt be tempted to eat it how lovely!

Had a lovely little snooze in today! Woke up to the realisation that quorn sausages are ONE SYN EACH! nooooo! So, feeling rough ( even though i didnt drink last night!) i dashed to Tescos to grab some Linda Mccartney ones, that are free! ( followed by calls from the boyfriend of wanting crisps and chocolate. Even though he is meant to be on SW too!!!) Got the sausages, along with some more smoked salmon ( addicted) some more eggs ( making mini quiches for my sister) got boyfriend some choc and crisps ( ones i dont like) and then some ryvita cheese and chive minis.
When i got home i cooked three sausages and they are gorgeous! what a lovely subsitute to real sausages!
Then i made the sister some mini quiches as she works 12hour shifts, i tried one and if i do say so myself they are lush!
Papabear popped round with some pears, crabsticks and a joint of lamb! mmmm, ill be roasting that on Wednesday!
Then me and boyfriend toddled off for a walk. We did Mapmywalk it BUT we stopped off at his mam and dads on the way, then walked a long way back so it didnt count anything!
Got back and i needed to use up the chicken as it goes out of date 4th of Feb and we wont be having it Monday and boyfriend a bit funny about chicken on ita use by date (oddball) so i made us some chicken strips :)
watched a film and now im going to roast as many veg as poss, steam some sprouts and broccili and have some pork madallions for tea. yumyum.
I unfortunatly have ate the full bag of ryvita minis! ( one bag counts HeB, oops) as even though there dry, they were morish!
Weigh day tomorrow! expecting a hefty gain! ARGHHHHH

Fresh day!
Breakfast -pear
Lunch - Mugshot, pear & muller light
Tea - Tuna pasta, with carrots, sprouts, cucumber, beetroot and Linda McCartney sausages! followed by a muller light!
Snacks - Full bag of crabsticks!!

Me and the boyfriend done a 1.2mile walk (he had to go to uni) and then i went swimming with my brother. it was packed! So could only do 22 lengths! But hey ho!

Keep thinking about my gain last night. Im still on iron tablets and my body is messed up regarding periods. im bleeding then not bleeding then bleeding, hopefully a letter from the hosp will come through soon to see why this is happening!

Got a massive burn on my neck too and its stopping me from snoozing! So hoping the exercise today helps me sleep!

They're great to aim for, i literally did 0 exercise in august... i joined the gym in september and didn't start going till october, and didn't really start dieting properly until november and i've improved so much from then! Even starting of slow with exercise is good, you got the SW books? It explains the body magic in there xx

i might have to look into them!
did you get weighed today?

Betty x
 
Breakfast - pear
Dinner - mugshot, pear, muller
Snacks - bowl of cereal (heb), two cookies- 8syns
Tea - STILL COOKING!!!

currently got my lamb in the oven and my veggies roasting. Really hope this tea turns out nice.
So nervous, finally got a letter through off the hospital about scans, and theyve done it for the one day im busy out of the full week i have off work! When i say busy i mean treating myself to getting my hair coloured. Anywhoo im hoping the hair dresser can push it back. Im really not looking forward to this scan - what if im too fat for them to see my overies and all they see is fat and all the food ive ate? What if there is problems on them? What if they do an internal? I'm really worried, hopfully everything will be dandy but i just know there going to lectrure me about my weight.
When i was 16 i had to go to the hosp for STD swabs ( i was bleeding a lot and doc instantly said an STI was the cause - the swabs all came back clear!) and when i was there, with my legs in the hoist, with all on show, the nurse who had been swabbing me, pulled off her gloves, looked me up and down, and said ' you need to lose weight' and then strutted off. I burst into tears and I think thats whats making me so nervous.
Its all im going to be thinking about until the appointment.
*sob*

Hi Betty,

Just calling in to subscribe, I've just read your entire thread and I'm keen to watch your progress. I love that you 'tell it like it is' and you're a very funny writer. If it's going to take a while to get into pathology maybe you could write? You're fascinating.

Anyway I wish you all the very best on your journey, I know you can do this! And I hope it goes well at the hospital, hopefully they won't poke about at you too much. And as for the woman who did the std test, screw her, some people are waaaaaay to quick to judge, losing weight is hard, but remember you can change your weight, she will never change her bad attitude! Xx

P.s are you from Yorkshire? Some of the things you have written read out in my mind with a Yorkshire accent like mine!

P.p.s I also call my mum mother goose, or just goose! In public, in her birthday card, all the time, she is goose :)

Feeling quite average about today! Boyfriend was up all night with a bad tummy ( he says it was my lamb when it clearly wasnt as i'm fine and i'm a good cook! Plus the lamb was over cooked. Ergh. Okay so i'm not a good cook but thanks to the boyfriend and how bad his tummy always his everything has to be burnt. Bless him) so I was tired too. Had my usual pear for breakfast ( i really need to start livening things up a little, my tastebuds are board) and my tablets too. Prepaired myself for a busy little day but it didn't happen! Work was creepily quiet!
I have managed to avoid these maryland gooey biscuits a patient brought in for us for a couple of days now, until today! I had two! (8syns) and then a rice cake covered in chocolate! Another 4 syns! Oh dear! Then for dinner i was meant to have a mugshot but i got a jacket potato instead! Cheese (hea) beans, salad and tuna! But the tuna had mayonaise! And how can i be sure it was tuna in water or brine? So lets say that was 10syns - 22syns by 1 o clock!!!!
Came home to a very sad boyfriend, so made him come for a walk! Walked or should i say waddled (?) to my mam and dads.. Where we sat for an hour and a half helping my sister with car insurance! And my dad gave me two morrissons strawberry and white chocolate mini cookies! And i accepted! And they were deliscious!! So lets say another 4syns each for them - 30syns so far!!!
On the walk back home boyfriend wants a chinese take away. Now this is the best bit. I am proud! Ive asked him to get me boiled rice! And im having it with smoked haddock fillets and steamed veg! Woohooo! He may also be bringing me home some malteasers too... oops. but ive got a taste of sweet stuff now!

ill have a syn free day tomorrow and hopefully try make it to the gym. today has been a very very fat day. i was meant to go swimming with my brother ( let all the other people swimming do a bit of whale watching) but he was poorly.

Oh well, i dont feel very guilty for today as its two and a bit days worth of syns! ill be good until weigh day as desperado for a loss!

what a lovely little day i have had! very late post as i have just got in!
Woke up and decided to have a muller for brekkie ( i like to be crazy sometimes) and trotted off to work in a very good mood! Only half a day on a Friday and then i'm off for a week! woooooop! Powered through the morning.
Popped to Tesco for more mullers ( i live off these) and gave some money to some sweet old nuns. That made me smile.
Was meant to go to gym but got a touch of lazyitus and decided to dye my hair instead ( in preparation for the highlights to be put in on Tuesday after ive been poked and prodded at the hosp) then i was hungry so i had a chicken and lettuce sarnie. What i didnt expect was the weight watchers bread i bought ( it was on offer, 80p for a small loaf as it goes off on 10th which is perfect as i usually only have bread on a weekend) was deliscious!!! so i had ANOTHER chicken and lettuce sarnie. oops, more syns. Then i had 6 quorn mini keiv balls ( 3syns in total as half a syn each, very yummy) and two quorn sausages! 2syns each.
Boyfriend finally got back from uni, and we decided to do date night. Went to the toby carvery for tea. I stayed away from the yorkshires, had lots of veg, had to have a few parsnips and had a touch of vegetable gravy on top. we managed to resist desserts! Missed the cinema showing we were going to see so opted for bowling. Went to a quieter one, which was a lot quieter as it had shut down! Drove to other bowling place/arcades/cinema. Went on arcades had amazing time. went in photo booth ( bit of a squeeze) and got the most horriblest pictures ever. they were even in black and white and that couldnt save us! chins galore. motivation right there!
went to cinema to see 'the awkward moment' was a lot funnier than i expected! really enjoyed it! ( and the bag of malteasers!!!!)
Then we drove home, got side tracked, went to Asda, got some CDS and have just been driving round listening to music and laughing and talking.
I know ive went over on syns again after saying yesterday i wouldnt. But do you know what? For the first time in ages i feel truely happy tonight. I love my boyfriend, I love my life. Yes im not perfect, but thats a small ( or rather large) detail. and i will get through this. Im going to bed smiling.
Good night, God Bless,

well well well, today has been disaster!
After a lovely little snooze, i reallyy fancied poached eggs on toast. Used the new poaching pan the boyfriends mam bought me, and it worked!! Got carried away with breakfast though and had two slices of weight watchers bread, with bacon madallions, mushrooms and tomatoes on top, with two poached eggs on top! it was lovely. very satisfying! Followed it with a muller light and pear.
Boyfriend went to the match so i walked to my aunty and uncles to get some pics of my dad from when he was younger ( doing a surprise 60th party for him like the good daughter I am! ) and i was there for 4 hours! Had two cups of tea and a natter then i get a text off the boyfriend saying he was home doing the washing up ( oops). i asked if he fancied a walk to my dads, and of course he said yes. so i walked from my aunty and uncles, to the flat, to my dads. Got there as i wanted to use his laptop to treat myself to some clothes ( ASOS have a sale on so i bought two big jumpers, which i have an addiction for lately, and a skater dress) and then sat and talked with dad. He then went and picked my sister up from workies, and then when she came home we had a laugh. Dad asked if we wanted a pizza, and boyfriend and sister said yes!! i had a chicken kebeb ( didnt eat the pitta, and had lots of salad) but also had a mini taste of my sisters pizza and boyfriends parmo. ARGH! only just left there now, and we walked back home.
very happy with the walking today, not happy with the syns.
Tummys been hurting so much with cramps today too!

hoping i can drag myself to gym tomorrow ( boyfriend put me off going today as it would be a rush) and hopfully have a maintain or loss on Monday.
ah well

what a lazy Sunday i have had! Fell asleep on the settee at 12, then me and the boyfriend both woke up at 3.30! oops! shuffled ourselves back into the bed room where we fell back to snooze. I woke up at 10.30, mainly from bad period pain, then the boyfriend woke up, then we fell back asleep! Only woke up at TWELVE THIRTY (!!!!) because of Papabear ringing me needing me to take him back to his work to collect his car. i felt like a new born lamb! all tiny eyed and fragile! When i got back home, boyfriend had went to his mam and dads and i hadnt brought the key with me! so ended up sat in my car for half an hour (luckily dad had bought me bags of apples and pears, so i happily munched my way through two of three of them bad boys) trying not to fall back to sleep!
When boyfriend eventually turned back up, he had a subway in his hand. UhOh. he had got himself two subway sarnies, and me a subway salad! yes! mmmm! three syns of amazingness!! he had also got himself two packs of cookies! i had one but then turned down the rest! probs about ten syns in them!!
We them chilled out on the settee, i kept debating weather to cook some quorn mini kievs, or have some raviolli, but i didnt. id like to say it was because i realised i wasnt hungry, but no, it was because i couldnt be bothered to get my fat bum off the settee.
When i did finally get into the kitchen i roasted some sw chunky chips, parsnips and carrot chips. used the new garlic frylight. not that impressed to be honest! With them we had steamed veg and some white fin sole fish or whatever its called. so a nice syn free tea! followed by a muller.
think im going to end the night with an options hot chocolate.
dreading tomorrow!!

Betty x
 
WELL DONE TO YOU :) That's amazing!! SO proud of you :D I think i have found that 4.5lb you chucked of ya ;) cos i stepped on the scales... literally terrifying, weigh in is officially tomorrow so lets see what those scales say haha terrified, but it's my own fault i've been terrible!! :) I'm tempted to start writing what i eat on here like you do just so i write it down (i cant be bothered writing a food diary on paper anymore ahah) well done again - so so proud :)

thank you so much! aw i doubt you have! no scales say the same! only the sw scales! i think its worth it writing down what you eat on here, as it kinda makes you a bit careful on choices knowing other people might read what your scoffinf your face with!

I was so nervous for today it was unreal! Last night i was googling 'can i still get scans even though i am on' and 'am i too fat for ultrasound' i had myself in a right little tiz!
Woke up and took my tablets, had a shower, had an apple. Drank all the water knowen to man! my appointment was at 11.15, but we got there half an hour early. By accident..not on purpose... i know right! Anywhoo, we got to the department and checked in, no sooner had my big booty touched the chair i was called round! the health care assisstant was lovely! but i was not impressed with the scanner lady! she didnt even say hi. i took off my leggings and laid on the bed. she asked if i was on any hormoan replacements or pill i said cerezzette/cerelle and she didnt even acknowledge it. she gelled up my tummy (BORK) and then put the scanner on my squidgyness. She then sighed (!) and put the scanner down. 'your bladder isnt full so we cant see'
'well ive drank loads do you want me to drink some more?'
'no. we would have to wait half an hour and we dont have an appointment time in half an hour. Reappoint or i will do an internal'
'just do the internal'

Right. So lets get this straight. I DRINK all the p*ssing water it says too, THEY call me round early, so my bladder isnt full yet and SHE blames ME!!!!!!

anywhoo, the HCA showed me where the loo was so i could take out the tampon. i got the internal, again without any emotion from stone statue over there. It was weird. i didnt really feel anything. within two mins it was over ( ha! feel like ive said that before!) and the HCA told me to get dressed. She was lovely. i loved her. When i got out i was all lubed up and gooey. deeeeelightful! i ached after and bled a bit. but i think everything will be dandy as the appointment was over really quick. when i walked out i did see a cheeky picture of my inside and there was a circle on it but i think that was an overy saying hi :)

i came home had a shower and the boyfriend got me a subway salad. good egg.
i then spent two and a half hours getting my hair done. BLISS! and i love it! Then i popped to my mam and dads and my ASOS clothes have came! wooooop!
fell in love with the two jumpers! the dress, however, is a size 26. im was thinking too bad of myself. i am probs a 22-24 depending if item has arms or not. so this gorgeous dress is verg baggy, especially round my freakishly small waist for such a big lady. But ill wear it anyway!

Having a movie night in with the boyfriend. Very unstructered day so not a sausage what tea will be!
i will try to be healthy!
much love guys!
