Meli's Weight Loss Diary 2011

[Meli]

You know I'm not doing well when I don't post. Still in self destruct mode and when the Cotsco bakery items are in the house...it's madness!!! Still have the cinnamon and double chocolate brownies on top of the fridge and trying to get the rest of the family to finish them asap!

Think the problem is also not getting to the gym and doing overtime at work is not helping and at night have no energy, so need to work something out.

This weekend I'm working from 8am-8pm as they are paying double pay. I'm thinking to start fresh from Monday, but why not tomorrow????why not after this post??? Someone give me a good telling off :sigh:

HI Meli,

DON'T UNDO ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!
I know you can get back on track, I really do. Sounds like life is hectic for you at the moment, so take 5 minutes to plan plan plan! Those sound like killer shifts this weekend but should give you some extra cash to play with. Make sure you have some filling comfort SW meals for when you get home starving hungry, cos I know that's when I start to pick at naughty things...

Think back to how great you felt at the wedding when you looked fab and got so many compliments - don't you want to stay that way? Then do not self-destruct!!

 

[funcurls]

Ooh Meli Meli Meli!!!!! We've all been there, especially those of us who, like you have been at this game for some time!! You know you don't want to undo all the hard work and I'm sure it's just a transient phase you're going through!! Just a suggestion, why don't you try and go for a 1lb per week approach?!! Hope you don't mind me saying this but I have noticed that when you're in 'the zone' you're very much working on all cylinders- extremely focused, doing tons of exercise, being quite strict food-wise and getting big losses!! Being in this mode is fantastic- infact I'm always in awe of you and feeling like I should be really upping my game on the exercise front and being a bit stricter with my food!! Perhaps rather than an all or nothing approach you could try to find some middle ground and do bits and pieces of exercise when you CAN manage to fit it in rather than going for it hell for leather and then feeling guilty if you can't keep it up?! And just do what you can on the food front and allow yourself your syn allowance! In short, I think being a bit more gentle with yourself may help to give you smaller but consistent losses over a long period of time!! Tell me to get lost if you wish- after all my progress hasn't been the best/most consistent of late! Just think maybe you're putting a bit too much pressure on yourself to be perfect when moderation may be better over time?!! You've done so well hun, don't beat yourself up about it as this can be quite self-destructive!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

If you don't get right back on plan very soon, I will come to your house, with a camera, gather all your family around, slap you once, and take a shot of all of their faces. Then, I will go home and edit it to resemble one of those Indian dramas you hate so much. It will look a little bit like this:

*Ali slaps Meli*
*repeat in slow motion*
*repeat in slow motion from another angle*
*repeat in slow motion from the opposite angle*
*zoom in on hubby's shocked face*
*zoom in on BIL's shocked face*
*zoom in on SIL's shocked face*
*zoom in on bacha no 1's shocked face*
*zoom in on bacha no 2's shocked face*
*zoom in on bacha no 3's shocked face*
*zoom in on nephews's shocked face*
*slap repeat in slow motion*
*Meli's hand goes to face*
*dum DUM, dum DUM, dum DUM*
****************************
*preview for next episode: Meli says 'tum me himmat kaisi hui, mujh par haath utane ke?!' after she has been checked out by a team of doctors rushing in and out of the operating theatre to treat a slap, and comes out on a stretcher bed with a white bandage around her head and a bloodstain seeping through, even though Ali certainly did not slap her across the head with enough force to get her hospitalised... but that is the way we Asians roll (or so Star Plus and Zee TV like to imply... *

Meli - you can do it! Remember what you said to me a few weeks ago??

Your line

Now start tomorrow and diaries updated daily by popular demand!

I know its hard to get some exercise in when you are so manic, so get your Sw food under control and then bring in the exercise when you can. Dont pressure yourself by doing it all at once, and then being annoyed with yourself becuase you cant do it right now. xx

((((hugs))))

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your support these last few days and all your comments (10st10 really had a good laugh with yours). I have been on plan 100% Saturday and today and hope that tomorrow it won't be too bad at WI.

Will report in tomorrow.

 

[Meli]

I think that the 3 days of being 100% have really helped as my WI results are: Lost 3 lbs!!!!
Still not all the 7 that I put on previously, but hopefully will get that off soon.
Think that loss tonight is exactly what I needed and really need to stay on plan now.

Again need to thank you girls as your messages really helped push me back into gear...love you all!!!

Well done on the loss Meli, you'll have the other 4lbs off in no time at this rate

Hope you are enjoying the job, even if it sounds like they are working you very hard. I always think it is better to be busy than have nothing to do, at least the time goes quickly until hometime!
