I want to watch Christmas movies. Next week there'll be no stopping me. Hope you've enjoyed your freedom today

I have really enjoyed my day
i can highly recommend it to charge your battries before chrimbo

only fly in the ointment was that teen had 3 parcels delivered, which all came seperatly so had to keep answering the door

kept to my eating plan so am quite happy
hopefully will have at least a sts tomorrow after a very shaky start to the week

Busy again tomorrow gym, dog walking, hairdressers and tea with the parents

going to make lentil and bacon soup in the morning for the next few days lunches

planning is definetly my best dieting tool its when i don't have a plan that things go wrong

watching the royal variety performance now before going to bed

very tiring this christmas movies lark:giggle:

 

[broadsbean]

ok got my sts which i am very happy about
don't think i will make my curvy target next week but not going to stress about that.
I have stolen jackies idea so here is my positives for today

1 i have lost 51 lb in 18 weeks which is over 2 lb a week average

2 i now go to the gym 3 times a week and walk the dog at least once a day

3 i can go out and have got back to work and on the whole feel better about my self

Oh Mandy I am so glad you are joining me on the 3 positives. Its fab and makes you have this 'feel good' each day

You sound really positive and happy and thats made my day. I for one am very proud of you huni xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[tillymax]

Those are massive positives. Well done

 

[jayde1148]

Hey sweetie, love the positives, and I would have said 51lb in 18 weeks is almost 3lb a week on average and that's astounding hun, can't say it enough so I'll say it again....You are bloody amazing, I am so proud of you and you should be of yourself...can't believe you've only been doing this for 18 weeks, feels like I've "known" you forever :superwoman: :character00115: :happy096: ...that scared :fear: woman seems to be gone forever
Have a lovely evening hun :hug99: xxxx

Hi Mandy, sounds like you are doing great, and I love the idea of the 3 positives!! Well done on staying so focused, I am on Christmas holidays now (as of 12pm today) and have already consumed several alcoholic drinks (met a friend for lunch in town to celebrate the holidays) so I wish I can stay as focused as you during the holidays! Well done!!! xxx

happy holidays xx bet you are looking forward to the break

don't know about being focused i am really unsettled tonight for some reason

thinking it must be work tomorrow and am really cross with myself

i am on a late so have all morning to stress about it
going swimming in the morning thougth cos it distracts me

ugghhhhh i am so fed up at my self work was fine on monday what am i stressing about
wondering if i am ever going to feel normal again :sigh:

 

[Lily42uk]

Hey hun, I think it's perfectly normal to stress about work, I did it every day for 9 years when I worked in the residential home, but the second I stepped through the door and actually started I was fine and loved it...and I know a lot of people the same, so guess you are normal after all :bighug: xxxxxxx

 

[JackieN]

You know Mandy I do think gradually you will stop stressing about work but these things take time and our minds are so powerful as I've said before. Being an anxious person myself I so know how you feel. I get worked up about going to carol concerts at the school, parents evening, anything really which is out of my comfort zone, so guess anything that is outside my house :giggle:

I do find deep breathing works wonders, a squirt or two of revival remedy and then just take those steps, as having read the book I know this is the only way to conquer a fear, face it. So mega slowly I am facing mine but the list is endless so think it will take me a long time

I am waffling so will shut up but I am sure you will know what I mean xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
