Jenna's 2013, back on track and getting to goal diary.

The roofs the easy bit...it's when I hit the ground things will get messy. I have been looking but there has been literally NOTHING I can apply for due to lack of experience. I'm not dreading this school as it's summer term and the class are nice. Plus, and I know this sounds SO silly but my classroom is a mobile which means that no one will be walking in and out. I still feel very self conscious teaching infront of others even though I know half the time they're not paying attention lol

How are things with you? Long time no chat (my fault).
 
Jenna, the first thing you need to change is your image of fat, because you aint it. Say you were 10 stone and at your height, that is still in the 'normal' BMI category..not even overweight! I bet you're still wearing size 8/10/12 clothes? so many would love to be that size on here..me included! You're obviously not happy though so good luck getting on plan and if there is a positive, let it be that you've realised you looked good at your previous weight. We told you often enough! :) xx
 
Hey chick!

Lovely to have you back but so sorry to hear you sounding so down.

I wholeheartedly agree with Joanne - whatever definition of 'fat' you look up, it's not you! Regardless of what you weigh right at this moment, it's still a damn sight less than you did when you started your journey this time last year. Try and remember how you felt then and look at your amazing wardrobe of size 8s and 10s and realise just how far you've come.

I know it's not easy. I've been faffing around the 10.5 mark since last flippin' September and I keep finding excuses to fall off the wagon for a week and undo a few week's good work. A lot of the time I feel like a total failure when I look at people like you (yes, YOU!) and see how much more you've lost in the same amount of time and thinking I should have at least seen the 8s by now. But I always try and remember how different I feel now to how I did when I started...I look back through my old Facebook photos and think how unhappy I was standing next to my 'skinny' friends. Now when I'm in a bunch of girls, I feel the same as them. I will never be 'skinny'...nor would I really want to be, but I am so much happier in my own skin now. Yes, there's still a lot of jiggle factor going on around my tummy, and one day I would like to (actually, will) get shot of it, but for now, I'm taking it a day at a time and loving my size 10/12 wardrobe so much more than I did my 14/16 one!!

Try and find some positive in it all, honey, there are so many there. Hopefully this new job is a new start. They don't know the old you, just the slim, beautiful positive one you are going to show them you are. And I'm absolutely sure you are going to be a huge success.

Sending you tonnes of love and positive vibes!

p.s. you were my inspiration when I first started SW, and you still are now!! xx
 
Glad to see you back Jenna, hopefully you'll feel better in a few days once getting back on track, although I do agree with everyone else, your way too hard on yourself and def aren't fat
 
Sarah, I read your comment this morning about 2 minutes after you posted it and couldn't think of anything 'worthy' to say in response. Thank you SO much for being so supportive, even though I don't always listen (that goes for everyone) I really do appreciate your support and advice.

Thanks, Donna. I'm glad to be back. I hope the fact that I'll have to write down failures will help me stay on the straight and narrow. The truth is I haven't had a committed food diary since before Christmas, maybe that's the problem!
 
Jenna, my lovely, you don't need to thank me. I just wish I could get inside that head of yours and unscramble it a bit!

I've just been naughty (again) and eaten a buffet lunch at work. Need to get back on it tomorrow - damn work stressing me out is not helping.

I don't want to get as low as you, but let's try and power through those 9s together (I just need to get there first...but only 5lbs to go!!) xxx
 
Okay, today's plan (and what has happened so far).

Breakfast
Shreddies (B1), banana and milk (A1)

Lunch
Vegetable soup and bread (B2)

Dinner
Quorn bolognaise, pasta (70g-I know I don't need to measure it but I NEED to) *Edit* Forgot to add A2 of cheese.

If I'm hungry tonight I'll have an apple and some pineapple.
My mum has been good and at my request has hidden ALL the chocolate. She needs to keep it in the house as she's diabetic but it's in her room somewhere no!


Tomorrow I'm going to have an EE day I hope.

Breakfast
Pineapple, apple, banana and muller light (10 for £4 in Tesco at the mo=bargain)

Lunch
Shreddies, milk and banana (A and B choice)

Dinner
Prawn stir fry.

Very impressed Jenna, mixing your food up a lot from last time :) xx

Yay for mixing it up!

And yes, I'm hopefully (if my boss stops being a total ******) finishing on 19 April but he's being horrible at the moment! It will definitely help once I'm out of this place and into a new routine!

xx
 
My shreddies actually haven't been very consistent over recent weeks...I've been all about the 'SW frys' lol...obv I went mental with lunches and dinners and goodies :)

Have had my 3 meals and have just had some pineapple from my tesco shop. I doubt I'll eat anymore tonight but if I need to I have some apples with my name all over it.
 
Helloooooo Jenna and welcome back - all I can do is echo everything everyone has said. Look how far you have come, just take one day at a time and remember the support is here for you for good times and bad. Good luck for the new job hun xx
