Just a quick hello.....back yest, wi tonight and sts which after 5 days away I'm very very happy with wohoo
Bad new is my job has been classed "at risk"!!, 50% of our office will be redeployed or made redundant and unfortunately there are not enough redeploy jobs for everyone.......if we go our last day will be 31st Dec
Normally would turn to food but this is the only thing I can control and do it for myself through these tough oncoming few months.
Not very chatty at moment guys so bear with me, hopefully will be my mo-jo back in the next few days.....good news is I've been on track since coming back from France now

Hi Claire,
Firstly well done on your STS, you must be really pleased!!
Sorry to hear about your job. I'm in the same situation - but they're closing our whole office so everyone's going to be going (apart from those willing to commute from Cardiff to Bristol everyday!), but ours isn't until the end of 2011 so kind of in limbo at the moment...
Fingers crossed your in the lucky 50% and well done for not turning to food - I totally did (hence the 3lb increase in 2 weeks), so I definately admire you for that xx

Hey Claire chicken, that's great you STS after a few days of probably not being 100% on it, and you lost 6 lb last week so that's a great outcome me thinks!!
So sorry to hear that your job has been put into the 'at risk' category, as you have recently been fearing. It's going to be an unsettling and worrying few months for you I'm sure. To look at the positives (you have to find SOME in these situations), 50% of people will be safe, and of the 50% that won't be, many of them will be redeployed and you could be one of these! I know that won't make you feel any better at all, and the atmosphere must be horrible because even if your job turns out to be safe, friends and colleagues will lose theirs so morale must be really low. Sometimes in these situations people use it as a chance to completely re-evaluate their lives and think about what else they'd like to do. Have you ever had a burning desire to start your own business in something? Have you thought about Slimming World consultant? Have you started looking at what else is out there at all/applying for anything else just incase? Thinking of you hunny and well done for staying in control of the food! A lot of people wouldn't, but as you say, you can control what you eat! And keep up the exercise too as that's such a great stress buster!!XXXXXXXX

Hi guys,
I havent been around for some time as job hunting and huge issues at work has overtaken my life
Well I was officially put "at risk" last monday with redundancy due to be served mid Oct....great! but.....
I had an interview last Wed, was told I would find out on Friday but got called an hour after interview offering me the position and cancelling the other interviews booked
I have accepted and really looking forward to my new job.....I start 1/11 after getting back from York for a week with my boys
Work for the the next 5 weeks is going to be tough and awkward but hey I've got something good to focus on....won't get my redundancy but £4k was not worth hanging on until Jan for ( my health and wellbeing could not have taken much more as already been going on for 3 months! ) My new job is £4k more a year so will recoop it over the year and be much happier for it.
Now need to focus on me and food again, havent been too bad just not tracked and drank too much etc.....not jumping on scales at the moment as I just want to focus on having a 100% day then another without pressure of a scales determining my achievements as with present stress at work it could push me the other way and I so don't want that to happen.
I feel happier in myself and will promise to keep my diary updated from tomorrow
Hope everyone is well, I'll catch up with everyone soon....got to parcel up loads of ebay sales this evening as I sold over £500 worth of stuff to fund a room makeover
Love and hugs to all

Can only begin to imagine how stressy it must all have been for you.

Aww Claire I am sooo glad you got a new job saves you from any more stress at your current place of work. You've obviously gone through such as awful time. Well done on not eating/drinking too much. Don't know how you did it! I would have cracked if I were you. Well done though chickenpie so proud of you. Work will be an uncomfortable place for you til you leave I'm guessing. But keep your chin up and remember that your almost there, at the light at the end of the tunnel
Looking forward to reading your update diary, and having you back! We've missed you!
Keep smiling xxxxxxx
