3lbs on isn't that bad considering one blow out day and the dreaded TOTM, you know my history with TOTM weight and that's with being strict! Don't let it beat you Kay, your stronger than any number on the scales xx

Oh we will miss you Kay! You have done so well and you should be proud of yourself. I bet the hospital staff will notice a difference in you straight away. Try to focus on the positives and good luck with the salad challenge xx

Thank you hun that's so sweet. It funny how when were losing weight we don't feel it until someone else recognises it. Hopefully when the hospital staff see me they will get a nice surprise . Hope your having a lovely day hun.

Thanks Vonnie, I know I've spoken at length with you and Bev about how much getting my 4.5 stone means to me. That's why I was quite upset this morning but I've had time to think it through and have accepted I won't lose more now until after my Operation. Its funny how we were talking about it last night and I was sure I would get it by next week. Anyway I have to make the best of what I have now, and 4 stones is not bad at all . I will just work harder once I'm back on SW in June. Hope you've had a lovely day hun, will pop over to your diary in a mo .

Awww kay, its got to be water, no way it can be 3 pound of fat. Really hope you're ok. As you said, you have to look at the positives and you've done fab, you really have xx

Thanks RR your so sweet, I wish it was all water weight lol , but if I'm honest I would say 1lb maybe water weight from my TOTM but the other 2lbs is all the food I ate on the weekend, I put my hands up to that ! I will work hard this week to get this 3lb gain off so that I can get back into the 11's that's my aim for my final week now. Hope your having a fab week hun.

Kay xx

The little scales poem is similar to the one bubble sent me when I had that 2lb gain when I'd been 100%, I copied it in to the notes section on my phone , it really helped me and I re read it when I feel low,

Aww Kay sorry not been around.
Dont be upset hun. That 4 stone victory is all yours, and what a fab achievement in itself? You have give yourself a great chance of a good speedy and healthy recovery after your op. Which would not be the same 4 stone heavier. You have proved what a star you are and when your back youll just keep on shining. Keep smiling. X

Glad to see you have come back to post Kay. Sorry you had a gain bigger than you were expecting ((hugs)). You processed well - yes its a gain but what you have also done is looked at the bigger picture. The hospital staff will be over the moon at your losses and you will recover quicker. The quicker you recover the quicker your back on minis.

Just look at your stickers on your signature hun - Slimmer of the Week 12 times, Slimmer of the Month 3 times and Groups Greatest Loser - they are achievements in themselves.

I know its like a kick in the teeth hun but you will get back on it as soon as your well again. Were proud of you and will be here for you when your able to get back to minis. Just keep smiling hun your doing so well xxx

Thanks so much Sheila, your always so kind and supportive . I'm trying to look at the bigger picture. It's strange when I was bigger, being bigger never bothered me as much as it does now when I'm smaller. I've got a lot of goals and targets in my head that I want to achieve this year. What I find hard is finding a balance within myself. If I relax too much and don't set goals then I worry I will put it all back on again. If I become too strict with the plan and miss targets then I feel like a failure. The trick is for me is to find the right balance of discipline yet relax a little and enjoy the journey. I really need to figure this out before I reach target so that I can maintain a healthy attitude towards weightloss for life.

I also feel this time off in May will give me a chance to dig deeper, and understand why I allowed myself to get this big in the first place. Until I don't find the answer to that, there will always be the fear of me putting the weight back on again in the future. And I'm talking about reasons that go beyond food. Once I accept the reasons and acknowledge that I'm not that person anymore and I can let go of old beliefs, I know I will have a chance to change my life again, and I know the weight will be off for good !

Hope I'm making some sense lol . Sorry therapy session is now over ! How are you hun ?

Aww Kay I'm so sorry for you Hun, like Rae says it's gotta be water but it's a small consolation when you see that number on the scales. I'm so proud of you for seeing the bigger picture, sure the hospital staff will be hugely impressed too. Like Texty says look at all you've achieved, you're an inspiration. Gonna miss you loads while you're recovering but I know when you're all better you're gonna smash these last few stone xxx

Aww thanks Bev , when I come back, your diary will be one of the first I will hit for thinspiration hun ! You'll be a pro at C25K by then and I will be needing lots of help and tips to get fit and in shape ! I will miss you lots, there will be soo many lovely pics on your diary for me to catch up on from your hols and hopefully some more of you as you keep racing down those stones. Hope your having a smashing day, will pop over to your diary for a catch up in a mo.

We all have our own reasons hun, you will figure things out when you have your recuperation time. I know you wont allow yourself to put it all back on, you have come too far to allow it to happen. Once at target or close to it you will be in the same dilemma as Lauren and myself - wondering how to maintain rather that focusing on losing, I reckon that will be harder than what were doing now. Again we will all be here to support each other hun cos thats what friends do.

Im ok thanks - in quite a bit of pain today with my back but cant take any more pills today boooo. Got a relaxing day plan tomorrow and will await the call to tell me what sex my grandchild is going to be whoop whoop im mega excited lol x

 

[Kay003]

Good luck for your op. Have just been browsing your recipe thread and all I can say is thank you x

Thank you so much , I have seen a couple of your posts on my diary, I've popped over to your diary too, I remember you from last year . Glad your back on the SW wagon, its great to have you back, I hope your health is better too hun. Thanks for liking my recipes, hope you enjoy trying some out too. Hope you have a lovely week ahead .
