Everyone has a fat friend... I don't want to be yours! 2013...

[nettie]

Thanks so much for the kind words and the encouragement everyone.
I was so pleased with the 2lbs this morning and even happier to see I was in the 16's. My OH weighed in too and he has lost another 2lbs bringing him to 14lbs in 4 weeks. I think over all we have done pretty well... 26lbs between us already.
Had a bit of good news at work today... I've kinda got a promotion. I am a children's centre leader and today I was informed that I have been given the role of Deputy District Leader.... to kind of explain that we have 4 children's centres which make up 1 district, each centre has a centre leader and 2 of us had the opportunity to lead the district and be deputy lead. I didnt want the district lead role as I dont feel confident enough as I have only been a centre leader for 18 months, I showed an interest in Deputy district lead on Friday and my manager informed me today that I have the position. There isnt any extra pay connected with the post but I am very pleased to have the opportunity to take a step up, its temporary for now until August so we shall see what happens after that.

I have just got back from having a curry with everyone from work and I am stuffed.... had popadoms, dips, tandori chicken, lamb tikka biryani with massala sauce and a coffee! However I did refuse the chips and naan bread.

Everyone had a good day? xx

Thanks texty! Back on the SW wagon today after the meal last night, don't think my body can handle the crap food anymore, I've had a terrible nights sleep with tummy ache. Today the real work begins and I have my first meeting to do an action plan and we go from there! I'm a little bit worried I'm out of my depth but you don't know until you try do you?! Xxx

No nettie you never can tell and I have every faith in you. I think you will thrive doing it as its a new challenge for you. So glad to hear your back on the wagon (even though you never fell off it) you had 1 bad day feelings wise not food wise. I think sometimes we are too hard on ourselves x

I love this thread title - rings all too true for me. This time last year I saw a lot of a size 12/14 'friend', who was good company but did manage to drag me round clothes shopping quite a lot (I could rarely join in because there wasn't anything in my size - my role was to hold the bags and bring smaller sizes to the changing room). Put me off group shopping, I can tell you! I saw her in December and this time it was me suggesting another outing - to get a new party frock, because everything I had was falling off me and I was down to a 20/22 size so could try places like Next and even Monsoon - funnily enough, she wasn't keen. Normally she'd be in touch by now to go round the sales but .....

omg thats awful, i am very lucky to have great friends... even though they are all skinny.... and they never make me feel like the odd one out or anything. they are really supportive and so encouraging. they are much more girlie than I am but i think thats a confidence thing and we have already arranged that when I get to target we are going on a shopping spree and for a spa weekend

I still cant believe I resisted but to honest i just didnt want them. It was the first day of my new role today and I got stuck in with action plans, I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead now

I've had a pretty good day today!
Been very busy at work, walked half way home- the snow was coming down thick and I was freezing so I stopped off at my brothers and Ste came for me then I did the first day of c25k. My daughters tooth fell out today, its the first one she has lost and she is so excited for the tooth fairy coming.
I am just sat in bed at the moment... ste is out with some friends and I am such a wimp I get so scared when he is out in the evening, why are there so many bloody noises! I keep putting the TV on mute, it sounds like someone is breaking in. Cant wait for him to come home, hes driving so he shouldnt be too late! He has to text me when he sets off so I know he is not a robber when he comes in lol xx

Morning everyone!
Just a quick hello before I get ready and go out, got a few things to do today so going to jump in the shower and get the kids ready etc.
Going to my dads soon then he is looking after the kids for us whilst we go to help my friend decorate her bedroom. Not got any plans this evening but we may pop to Ste's grans at some point. No routine at the weekends so we shall see whats today's menu brings.
Anyone doing anything nice today? xx
