last week while i was at the gym i had an elderly gentleman start chatting to me about why i was there and telling me how great he thought it was that a person of my size was there doing something about it:eek: (quite a big gentleman him self so i don't think he meant any harm)

Initially i was a bit freaked out by it but having been bought up never to be rude i answered his questions:confused::confused:

turns out he too is on slimming world and had lost 10lb in his first 3 weeks, he was very surprised when i told him that i had lost 3 st in 3 months :D

This morning he has come to ask me how:8855: me a weight loss guru:8855::8855::8855:

wanted to know about snacking and syns, his wife is sorting out his diet:rolleyes: and has him on 4 syns a day so i have told him to try increasing them a bit .

I just thought it was so funny :D

full hr in the gym this morning trying to develop an addiction :8855::8855::8855:

Hey sweetie, well you are a weight loss guru, 3st in 3 months is really awesome and loving the fact that you passed on the info of eating more syns, that's definitely what they are there for lol.

A mood hoover is someone who enters a room and sucks out all the atmosphere, usually male and usually in bad moods.

Hubby and son were both at it last night :eek:

see i am not mad just slightly loopy :8855::8855::8855::8855:
 
just a heads up for you all i have another counselling session today so expect another rambling of odd thoughts:eek::eek:

been to the gym this morning but still not feeling a loss this week :eek:
have that HR meeting tomorrow which definetly has me rattled.

shaking now just at the thought of it :mad:
which is ridiculous because i have a return date set :eek:
will be discussing this with my counseller today

trying for another red day today to wean off the carbs again

i will pop back later and ramble i am sure :D
 
A good ramble does the heart&head good!

Hope your meeting goes well too.
They get us so stressed these things, don't they.

Wishing you all the best for it *hugs*
 
Ah right ...I have a couple of them in my house too...although I am certain that Kirsty would qualify as a mood hoover at her worst :eek:
:bighug: Hope you're counselling went well and you don't feel so stressed, no good telling you not to it will be ok, cos I know you will we all do, but I am pretty sure HR meeting will be fine as will your return to work when it finally arrives, you have come such a long way lovely lady xxxxxxx

Oh and Tilly I doubt you did laugh more I was in fits the funniest description ever :8855:,you'll have to stick with the title now though cos you have been named :8855: who knows you might even live up to it ...one day ...but hun I won't hold my breath :8855: :8855: :8855: :8855: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
counselling today focased mainly on why i am so anxious about tomorrow and the whole return to work thing

counseller made me list the possible outcomes and why i thought there were any problems.
once again it comes down to my feelings of inadequacy, not feeling good enougth.
I am afraid of failing and at the moment am focasing that fear on my return to work.
she then made me look for the evidence and when i thought i could provide it she made me break it down even futher.
ultimatly the only evidence was my own thoughts :eek:

I am scared that returning to work will cause me to fail on a professional level
ie be unable to cope or fail at my weight loss and for some reason i have it in my head that i can't suceed in both:confused:

I very irrationally seem subconciously to be trying to make my self choose and i am not sure why

My biggest worry at work is that people are mad at me for being off so long and having to cover for me and i am worried that people will treat or view me
differantly.

So i have been learning coping stratagies mostly conversations in my head but also trying to build the confidence to take back control.
starting tomorrow :eek: my challange is to get througth the meeting without going to pieces, in fact it is to control the meeting. my competence is not being questioned or wether my period of sickness has been genuine.
I can go in to the meeting state the return to work plan, confirm i am ready (or will be) to do my job effectively and leave calm.
now at this point i am thinking yeah right !!! like thats going to happen but i need to be in a positive frame of mind so have to do the whole talking to the mirror thing in the morning :eek:

considering hiding the scales and not doing my wi until i get back so as not to dishearten me if i do get a carbo gain:eek:

i have my clothes ready and i have worked out what i need to say I also know that i do not have to disclose as much information as i did last time.

so hopefully it will go well :eek::D
( note the positive attitude :D)


cool that was a classic ramble that probably only i understand :8855::8855::8855:
 
Hey hun, you will be fine tomorrow, maybe write down a few key points just to jog your memory, often happens when we are nervous.
I doubt ...no in fact...I know no one would be mad at you ...most likely they will be worried about you...oh and I do understand your "irrational" ramblings (I put that in quotation marks as I know how you feel)...there are 2 sides to us honey the logical and the illogical it's the illogical side of you that is trying so hard to outweigh the logical side and from what I can see the logical you is winning...:bighug: for tomorrow babe, will be thinking of you and waiting to hear how well you did....you are a lot stronger than you believe you are sweetie and I am soooo proud of you :hug99: xxxxxxxxx
 
ok counselling aside, i have had a busy old day:eek:
gym this morning for an hour and then after my session I went to my parents.
My aunt wanted me to see if i wanted any thing from my grandads house as the heart foundation people are coming on fri to do a clearence.
I have been putting it off for weeks, i had already got upset earlier in the week when the for sale sign went up, but today was so awful The house felt so cold and empty without him and seeing all his belongings packed up was so sad.

Obviously there is no room for every thing at the nursing home but it seems so awful to just pack his life away like that.

I have taken the clock we bought him and my nana over 30 yrs ago when i lived in Berlin, it is now up on my wall and will always remind me of very happy times :D

today has indeed been a red day 2 in a row must be getting confident :D

B weetabix,greek yog with honey(2 syns) and pomegranite seeds (hexb1)

L cheese on toast (hexb2 and hexa)

T pork in paprika maggi (4syns) butternut squash chips, cabbage and leeks

S alpen light (2 syns)

off to counsel teen now cos bless him he is stressed about his ucas application cos has sent it and is now doubting his choices :eek:

life is never dull around here :D
