Jenni's diary: Given up chocolate!

Haven't even started yet :D First is on Friday, last is the 16th - so they span about a week and a half.

Looking forward to them being over :rolleyes:

Hi Jennikay

Well done on getting back to class and sticking to points ... getting started is always the hardest thing!

good luck with the Exams!

Twigs

Gosh, your exams are quite late then. My boys both finished today - both doing Chemistry exams at different levels in the same exam hall....must have been a bit odd for them.

Good luck with them and well done for getting back to class. x
 
First exam yesterday - went really well I thought.
Another plus is that everyone else in the country found it really hard, so they might bump up the marks :D

Revising for Physics on Tuesday now, only one I'm really worried about to be honest :)
I'll be glad when they're all over!

Diet wise, it's not too bad. Been 1-2 points over every day, but it makes me feel as if I've had a naughty treat, so it's not too bad and I should still lose weight on it :)

Been very quiet around here lately!

xx
 
Oh God oh God oh God I'm panicking about my exam on Wednesday now lol.
(Not Tuesday like I said.)

Done 2 past papers and can't even scrape a B in them.
I can only hope I do really well in the synoptic because otherwise I'm completely screwed :eek:

Shall tell all on Wednesday evening I'm sure. So worried about it now.:giveup:

xx
 
It went OK :) I had a different teacher explain a few things to me which I couldn't understand, which was incredibly helpful. Think I've scraped an A, all depends on next Tuesday's exam now!

Had a Maths exam this morning which went fine, not worried about that one. Just that whether or not I go to Imperial depends on me getting an A in Physics, so it's a bit important! :rolleyes:

I have the whole weekend to revise for the synoptic exam on Tuesday, which is on X-rays mostly, so that shouldn't be too hard - just that it's all wordy questions, which I'm not as good at as calculations ;)

Diet-wise it's going terribly, mostly because I've noticed an improvement in concentration levels if I'm munching while I revise :rolleyes: so I have been doing, lol.

xx
 
You only get one chance to get an A in physics...you get loads of chances to lose weight.

If nibbling helps - nibble away!!!! don't even think twice about it. x
 
Yep. My grade now depends on how much I know about X-rays and electromagnetism - not very good at either! - but it could be a lot worse, and I have 4 days to revise, 2 of which Jon's away so can get some serious work done.

I really want to go to Imperial, which should hopefully spur me on to work quite hard this weekend. :)

xx
 
Yeah I agree, nibble away, you need brain food!! Hope it all goes well! Such a long wait for results too, you will be totally fine tho!! :)
 
All done now!
:happy036: :bliss: :party0011: :woohoo: :party0016: :party0049:​

10 weeks until results day ;)

Shall have to curb my chocolate munching now, haha.

Found out I can go for special consideration in Physics because I missed a few weeks in September when I was ill - I thought they'd only do it for the January exams, but it's quite nice that they'll do it for the June ones, because I *did* miss a fair bit on planets and the like. :)

Exam today wasn't too bad, honestly can't tell what level I'm at though - it will all be a huge surprise on results day :rolleyes:

xx
 
well done on the completion of the exams.. its such a great feeling isnt it? Know you can just kick back and relax for the summer!!
 
is that you lounging about then for a few months ;)

Bet its nice for them to be over. My poor lads are back at school after their exams....finish up on 26th June.
 
See, after all my exciting holidays and stuff are over, I have ANOTHER 2 months to go before I start at uni :rolleyes: I mean, it's very nice that Imperial starts in October, but really (!) I'm going to be bored stiff!

Eating wise, I'm slowly reducing what I'm eating, you get used to eating lots of chocolate (!)

I was 10st 11 this morning :eek: which is a VERY scary thing. I'm currently considering doing Cambridge for a bit to be honest, it's just finding the money. Hmmm. May think about Lighterlife, since you get weekly CBTish sessions.

I mean, the reason I've gained this weight is because I'm absolutely terrible for comfort eating, so I think Lighterlife would be a better option, but then I REALLY have to fork out some money for that, so I don't know. Hmmmm.

xx
 
Made a decision, I'm going to do the Paul McKenna system. :)

It did make a lot of sense when I watched the TV programmes, so maybe if I watch/listen to it without my dad commenting about how it was a load of rubbish :rolleyes: then I might get somewhere :)
Still going to keep a diary here because I do think it helps, also you lot are a friendly bunch :p

Had therapy today and I've realised I've gotten to a point where my weight is no longer acceptable (I mean REALLY unacceptable). I went on the scales earlier (after eating) because I knew that if I saw 11 stone then I'd actually start to do something about it.

I don't believe counting points is a way of life for me, and it definitely won't work at uni, I need something where I'm not counting points, something where I can drink as much as I like without worrying I've ruined my diet etc.

xx
 
Hey Jenni I think once you have your mind in the right place then controlling what we eat is so much easier, whether that would be points, watching the intake of food, exercsie etc... Best of luck on whatever you decide and so thrilled you are staying on the forums xxx
 
Started it yesterday - enjoying it so far, I love that I can have my full fat yoghurts without worrying about the fat content! :D

Going to a hog roast tonight :eek: lots of lovely pork and lovely desserts. So I shall really have to eat consciously! Can feel I'm going to be hungry in about an hour so shall have a snack before I go. :)

Now I'm actually eating what I want, not what I crave (if you see what what I mean) I'm actually eating chicken, veg, eggs, wholemeal bread. :) Had a packet of minstrels yesterday afternoon and apart from that it's been almost all healthy.

xx
 
I think the eating slowly thing that he advocates is a very sensible idea because then your body has time to register that its full before you have stuffed too much in.

I have noticed that I am starting to eat faster.....so fork down between mouthfuls, double the amount of chewing at half speed....

good luck (oh, and by the way, I don't think drinking counts when you're at uni :D)
 
Oh, of course not :D Had a bit of advice on not drinking too much, which I'm terrible for :eek:

Got back from holiday with Jon this morning - went to Bruges on a minicruise.

Worrying about myself a bit though, being very insecure about the whole thing - I'm picking apart the whole thing and analysing every thing which went wrong and feel quite bad about having a bit much to drink last night :rolleyes:

Just lots of little things which bother me, I could easily point out 10 things which went wrong and Jon would say it was perfect... good job one of us is really easy going! :rolleyes:

Off to work in a bit, hopefully will take my mind off it and I'll be able to forget about it tomorrow, probably just a bit of post holiday blues :)

xx
 
I am sure that if you thought about it, you could also find loads of things that went right.....that you enjoyed.

Whatever we focus on is what we find. xx
