Jelliebabe's way to less Jelly more BABE!

[Jelliebabe]

Its lots of work - and takes up time every weekend but I LOVE it! And I'm so proud when we're having dinner and I can say - I grew everything on that plate! Only done that a couple of times but still it is awesome. Last year was my first year, and I've learned a lot so this year should (fingers crossed) should be better - cant wait!

 

[Jelliebabe]

I'm blooming. Hank Marvin today! Was thinking about cheese and bacon burgers and chips on the way to work and now would mow people down for a pepperami... random... I am trying to up my water as I dont think I had enough yesterday... and will have my tetra in a mo.

I have an appt at the hospital later at the fertility clinic - just some test results I think. To be honest I don't think they are going to say anything new. In fact they will prolly refer back to gp who can then refer for ivf... of course they'll say the required " have you thought about loosing weight" .... sigh as if millions of fat people don't get preggo every single day... do docs actually think that we can't see that we are overweight... sigh...

Anyway better go busy myself...

 

[ayshaahmad]

Gd luck at the hospital later hun!! Urghh the fat person speach is bloody annoying I used to go to the docs for a cold and he would say loose weight and it will go, says the doctor who looked morbidly obese!! Hope work goes ok x

How great that you have an allotment and can grow fresh vegetables for the table! I have a small garden, but it is north facing and in the shade a lot, so really limits what I can grow. But you've given me an idea - perhaps I can persuade a friend to rent an allotment outside the city and grow veggies. I'll have to look into it.

Good luck at the hospital later!

If you can get one go for it. Fresh air exercise and fresh food. Lovely!

I love my garden. There wasn't really a garden when I moved in to my house and I spent the summer of 2007 creating it, losing 32lbs in the process and still eating 1200-1500 cals per day. Good for the body and soul. I have a North facing garden but still manage to grow salad veg and have a herb garden at the back. Not sure what I'll do this year as I'm on SS and live alone!

I Love growing beans (easy) and different squash! LOL I actually love everything I grow!

 

[Jelliebabe]

Sorry no post today... been do busy yesterday and today my head is spinning. Just cuojldnt be bothered tonight so I'm going to sleep. I'll update proper like tomoz x laters x

 

[Jelliebabe]

hiya! Well in still on my own at work so MEGA busy and a bit overwhelmed. There are so many bits and pieces that she does without thinking that I'm a bit scrambling about... sigh... oh and she has typhoid fever... gulp! So she's been quarantined for 10 days...... Aaaaah I think she feels the same way! Poor thing.

Hospital appt on Monday was okay. All tests clear but one set of hormones on the high side which could indicate going into early menopause.... no treatment (chlomid) until 30 bmi although she was really,lovely and said as I was doing so well they would let me have it at 31 - 32. In fact she nearly fell off her chair when I said what I had lost in the time! It will take one more stone to get to 32 so I'll take it, but as soon as I hit 30 I'll be back at the gp to get sent for ivf. I haven't the time to loose speshally if my system seems to be preparing to shut up shop!

In other news I bumped into a lady in Tesco that I used to sit with at slimming world and she did an actual double take! I then told her all about it but was in a dash do couldn't linger... yay!

Weighed in at home this morning down that 4 I put on last week. Hope for 3-4 this week. I've been a little slack recently... a small nibble here and there all low carb... I need to reign this in. I have an oddity that when I get to about 15 I seem to reach the point where I give up... Im not going to this time but I don't want these "little" bits to be the thin end of the wedge.. so 100% today and let's get it going again!

Sorry have rambled on for aaaaaages! You've prolly nodded off. X

 

[tizzy51]

Have not nodded off at all! It sounds like you are doing really well and congrats on getting rid of that 4lbs! Don't you just love the positive attention you're getting as people admire what you've done?? Enjoy!

And we're all here to make sure you make it past 15st - you know you can do it and you want to!

 

[Yolande]

Knew you would shift that 4lbs just like i know you will hit them 15's and it wont make you wana give up =D

 

[Jelliebabe]

Okay so not such a good day yesterday.... I was starving all day. I drank and drank and drank and felt no better. I gave in to a bag of crisps and then had steak for dinner. I did cut my last pack (was full) but then compounded the terrible day by taking laxatives to clear me out. I feel I need to take more control and that by eating a little its set me out on a path that I dont want to go down, a sort of loss of control. I'm going to reign in the veg and protien for the next few days and just have packs and see if that helps.

Hectic day, I have been 100% today and I've not been particularly hungry either. So back on track... Jsut had my dinner and the OH was having his and read his paper all the time! He's never ever done that before.... I'm annoyed anyway as well prolly too much info for here. He's tired from work and has energy for his golf and none left for me when he gets home...... Humph ...

Watching dont tell the bride though! Love it - he can find solace in the paper! LOL

 

[ayshaahmad]

U are so gd for getting back on track so quickly my binge would of lasted for days! Men hey they are a nightmear, don't let him get to u chick keep smiling!!!
Love don't tell the bride it fab, shame these are repeats I could watch new ones every day!!

 

[tizzy51]

Yay for getting right back on the diet! And all the water has to help flush out the salt from the crisps...

I watched Don't tell the bride tonight as well - episode where wedding was winter themed? The groom really did a good job!

Yes winter themed one - she looked Fab in her dress.... I love all of those programs!

Wearing a top I love but rarely got into as well ad my 20 monsoon trews (they are small compared to other trews in a 20! But I was super good yesterday so is it better to have things on that are slightly not fitting so nicely (tightish) but keep us a bit more aware of the weight to loose. Do you think in our heads that our ole baggies may encourage a sense of "oh I've done do well I can just have...." I may have to test this theory.... Praps I'm just thinking too much! LOL.

Anyway have a good day all x

 

[tizzy51]

Yes absolutely I think that wearing baggy clothes encourages you to think it is ok to have something to eat! Some of my clothes seem to be a bit looser now and I've caught myself thinking that it's like permission to have a nibble!!!!

 

[ayshaahmad]

I completely agree about the clothes cos if I wear loose old thing I feel fab and then put tighter things on and yes it reminds me how far I still have to go!! My cdc keeps moaning at me for wearing big clothes and has banned me from wearing some lol

 

[Krissykat]

I still have the trousers I have shrunk out of! Incase I have a down day and need to remember how far I come I can try them on, haven't done that yet! Think it would just depress me to think how big I was lol

 

[Jelliebabe]

Hiya - Well back off the wagon again.... I need to have a few days of just SS and praps not have the SNS meals until I'm a bit more back on track. I think I have taken the small allowance of veg and protien and taken it as a license to eat.

Feeling a bit sorry for myself doesnt help either. Mr B came in last night and said "you feeling better today?" "Pardon?" "well you were a bit miserable last night" ME!!!! He was all tired and and a bit misog! Then read the paper through dinner! It has been all about him recently, his 40th, his lads weekend, gets back from the weekend and straight away has darts, he's been on lates so I've only seen him in passing and then the night of the tiredness he had a golf lesson... He seems to be able to get an early for that alright. anyway I've spent up on him, taken him out, been at home on my own and been just as busy at work. He's now at his parents (another whole issue) 'cos he has to go and watch footie every other weekend (not that I usually mind) and they live in Kent nearish the ground.

He said earlier - we need to have a housework day tomorrow. "Why" I say "all my jobs are done!" I've made a real effort as I'm usually a real slob. I've spent all of last weekend working, changing the bed vaxing the bedroom carpet etc and this week I've been keeping the bathroom and kitchen clean as I go along instead of it all building up! And done loads of ironing.... So he suggests a nice day out tomorrow... But I have to find something for us to do. May as well just stay in and do the garden... I always have to decide... Booooo

So today I've been to the allotment and dug over most of the potato patch. I found it quite hard and spent quite a while leaning on my spade instead of wealding it on the plot! I did keep up with my water and had a bar while I was there but i stopped on the way home to get mushrooms for Mr B to have for his brekkie tomorrow. He called and wanted beers.... :cry: I want WINE, or food or summat. So I bought steak (yeah steak again) and ate it with mushrooms and a bit of cheese on top... then I ate its pair.... I've just eaten some chocolate mint sticks too that I got for Xmas..... feel a bit sickly now.

Right plan for getting back on track.... Spend as little time on my own as possible.... Sunday will be easy as Mr B and I will be together all day and I just wouldnt cheat in front of him. Mondays are always good as I have a full day at work and then choir in the evening. I need to do this. I could be under 32 BMI nearly at the end of the month if I buckle down. Bugger... why am I so self desctructive. crap crap crap... :cry: :sigh:


****PS: If you're still here - I applaud you for not dropping off in the tide of self pity. I really am just an a weak willed sh1t for brains with a lovely husband. I am just having a pity party.... so please ignore
