Lou's diary - (Celebrity Slim)

[Louise24]

Morning everyone........

I'm feeling positive again, I spoke to my Mum over the weekend and she has agreed to come to Slimming World with me every week - even though she has 7lbs to lose at most!

I need someone to go with otherwise I cheat then skip WI, so I'm hoping this will be "new start number 29"!!!

Green day today:

B: Spaghetti on toast (1B)
L: Pasta N' Sauce and yogurt
S: Mug shot
D: Rissotto and quorn

Will update during the day xxx

[Louise24]

Thanks Claire.

My friend at work just dragged me across to the canteen for a chocolate run.......

I bought a drifter but only ate one finger before throwing the other half away. It's 120 kcals per finger so I'm estimating 6 syns?? xxx BAD LOU

blimey your good for throwing half away well done you!!

 

[Beki]

well done chick! that's some good willpower you got there

 

[Louise24]

It's not really as I:

a) walked over to the canteen knowing I wanted chocolate
b) bought chocolate
c) ate 1/2 of it

I've just had an alpen light bar and can't wait for my stirfry this evening. Yum.

I think I'm obsessed by food, it's all I think about, is anyone else like this???

 

[Taz]

yeah I'm the same! Well done on throwing half away

 

[Louise24]

Help!!!!

Just got home and opened a letter from the occupational health advisor for the Police (my new job thing).

Anyway, she is asking me to confirm my height and weight figures that I've written on the questionnaire. :cry::cry:

I'm so scared, I'm scared they're going to take the job offer back because I am too big........ I don't understand why as it's a desk job, I know I have to lose a few stone but the thought of losing this job of a life time just makes me want to cry.

I don't know what to do, I can't even phone her as she doesn't have a number, I just have to write back to her.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t. :cry::cry::cry:

 

[emski]

Is that all they have said.. just confirm your weight and height?

 

[Louise24]

Yes, it says...... (waffle) please confirm you height is xx and weight is xx and return in envelope provided as soon as possible.

 

[emski]

I very much doubt they will retract the job offer. Occ health is normally there to help and guide .. so maybe they will look at the height and weight and try to advice you how to lose weight .. like you need to be advised. They will probably make an appointment to see you and wont clear you to start until they are happy that there are no health issues involved, which there isnt. You can tell them you are losing weight and becoming healthier.

I had a similar issue as I suffer from Eczema on my hands and when I was offered my job at the hospital I had to wait for occ health to clear me for working.. I had a flare up at the time.. so took a couple of weeks . but all ok..

Occ health are there to help

 

[Louise24]

Thanks Emski, that reassures me, I'm just scared.

I looked at my stomach and just wanted to cut it off!!! Freak or what?

My mum (who is a nurse) says it's their job to check things and she wouldn't be doing her job properly if she didn't double check my weight.

I may bend the truth slightly and say... I'm going to SW and have lost 3 stone.

That technically isn't lying - but the 3 stone was 2 years ago!!!

 

[emski]

If they thought you were unfit for the job they wouldnt have offered you the job.. they would have seen you at the interview.. and I guess as long as you are not so wide that you block a fire exit all will be fine...

Your stomach is heading in the right direction .. cutting it off will only create a huge mess on your carpet and that isnt good and also your waistbands will chaff!!

You dont need to lie.. you are doing SW.. whether you attend of not.. your diet is healthy .. and you are losing weight.

Sound advice from Emski Lou xxx

 

[Taz]

Yeah I agree. Also we have similar things, every employee has to have a medical and I had to have my weight and height checked even though it doesn't make a difference for my job it's just for the drivers but we have the same medical

 

[Louise24]

Thanks Emski - that does make sense. I just panicked as I've given my notice in at my current job and thought I was going to end up with nothing!!

I'm going to write back to the lady now and keep my fingers crossed.

Also - I'm 200% on plan now, so maybe it's the wake up call I needed?!

 

[Louise24]

Ok, I've written the letter to occupational health so fingers crossed.

B: Oat so simple (1B)
S: Grapes
L: Jacket potato and spaghetti hoops (free)
D: Pasta with peppers, tomatoes and carrotts

I'm not going to have any syns today as I need to get back to basics and I'll slowly start to reintroduce them over the next few days.
