My SW diary, by Bess.

Hi Bess the Mess…

LOL I don’t actually mean that. It’s just that I get called Jess the Mess (by my mother) and I’m sitting here giggling at the thought that someone else can be called a mess lol. (I don’t think you’re a mess, although, I suppose you could be? I don’t know? I’ve never seen your house…I’m sure you’re very tidy)

Lol, anyone got a spade? :sign0163:

How are you?

I hope you have a lovely day!

Keep us posted

Love Jess the Mess xxx

This gave me a good giggle at work!!

She's having big birthday celebrations this weekend (Is it your birthday Bess?) but is back to work (and us!!) after the bank holiday

I think that's what she posted further up anyway

I miss her too though...she's not allowed to leave Minis for ages once she's back. She's had her holiday quota for at least a year, surely

 

[julesm]

Happy bday!

Yes, I seem to remember her posting about a(nother) holiday - I thought it was a bit strange because she'd only just gone but hey ho, lucky her

Come back Bess - we miss you

Well, not quite! Another couple of weeks to go . I managed to carry over unused holiday from last year - so with all the Bank holidays it made a 5.5 week break! Smug or what?!! Nice to be missed though, thankyou.

Love Jess the Mess xxx

Dear Miss Mess,

I've been away and the little house fairies have cleaned and tidied, done the washing, picked flowers from the garden for most rooms, including some divinely smelling Sweet Peas and prepared supper. Wonderful house fairies, quite unlike their slovenly mother!

Love,

Messy Bessie. xxx

Thanks so much Chels, been away, York for a few days with OH. Great time, walked and walked, went to Choral Evensong in the Minster, looked at trains........and ate some fabuous meals.
Thankyou for my birthday wishes Jules, I'll save them until August , it's my eldest daughter's birthday this weekend, they always seem to run on and on somehow...all family are home for the weekend and 12 for supper tomorrow night. Good fun, but I'll need to go back to work for a rest!
Am very embarrassed to say that I have put on 3lbs while away .....but am making good efforts to lose it now I'm home again. Would like to find time to read all your doings, but I doubt I that will be any time soon. I hope you are all well, I'll have a quick skim now.

Hi Bess --

Am very embarrassed to say that I have put on 3lbs while away .....but am making good efforts to lose it now I'm home again. Would like to find time to read all your doings, but I doubt I that will be any time soon. I hope you are all well, I'll have a quick skim now.

I, too, have gained 3 pounds between being a total exercise and diet slacker since my trip to Texas in April and quickie trip to Mallorca in mid-May. I saw my CDC today and back to doing the CD810/1000 with South Beach meals as DH is still doing that.

I LOVE York -- the Minster is amazing. I am glad you had a lovely break.

[LellyCD]

Hey Bess, thought i'd pop over to say Hi!
Thanks for your message in my new diary, hope you are enjoying your lovely time off hun.

You;ll sort that 3lb ,hope you are doing well on your plan

Have a great day !

xx

 

[Bess]

Oh Lelly and Mel, I am hanging my head in shame today. My scales this morning said 14 stones again. I am confused, feel so stupid and am so cross with myself, even wondering about leaving mini's again. I think though that that way fatness lies and I know, in spite of my weak behaviour I don't want that. So I've given myself a good talking to and am back on the straight and narrow. I'm going to concentrate on making interesting meals and really get to grips woth SW. No more backsliding and sloppiness, this is a new and final beginning.

 

[LellyCD]

oh hunny, feel your pain..its a blip, move on you can do it and the first week back on you'll drop a few of those lbs hun.

Don't disappear hun we would miss you too much and worry about you, so get those books out and do some meal planning, you can do it!!

have a great 100% sw day

xx

 

[gl12282]

Lovely comment Lelly. Totally agree with you. Bess, don't be ashamed. Just accept that these ups and downs are an inevitable consequence of our journey and of life itself. It's not a disaster, it's a blip. If you weren't here you'd probably be much heavier.

Big hugs (from the aeroplane I'm very excitedly sitting on ).

Miss Bess........don't you DARE disappear!!! I will not be at all happy if you do. I have eaten and drunk for England since last Friday. Food is causing the problem with my stomach yet I am constantly hungry and craving carbs - bit of a vicious circle going on .......I daresay I have gained a lot more than you have and I'm not going anywhere. Well done for admitting a gain, for not disappearing and deciding to get back onto it.

I have decided that the scales will not be even looked at this week, let alone stepped on. We've had Jess' birthday celebrations and it is mine tomorrow....well, not so much a celebration, more like a drink and curry fest to console myself that I am no longer a young bird :cry:After Wednesday I will be joining you back on the straight and soon to be narrow You can do it Bess and we are all right behind you xxxx

 

[julesm]

Bess, you can do this lady!!!! You know it! Try to think of those times that you felt great and I remember you saying how positive you felt that the plan works for you! There's been a blip but you've done the right thing by coming on here and fessing up. The difficult part is done, now to plan some delicious Slimming World meals and to shift that darned weight!! xxx

 

[MinnieMel]

YEAH -- what she said!

Seriously Bess -- we have all been there and done that. And to paraphrase Beck... if it isn't working then change it up -- but don't quit!

Thankyou all so much, I am so lucky to have such great mini's friends - and one even messaging from an aeroplane!! (Thanks Gail, have a wonderful holiday!)
I shall probably list my food at the end of each day, just to stay on track and receive helpful comments. So busy with work - first day back after such a long break. I think the shock of seeing 14st again has made me 'sit up', I really want to crawl into a hole but as Gail said, if I wasn't here I'd probably be much heavier. I shall chat to my DD3, who's lost 1.75 stones on SW and looks amazing and get her on board to ginger me up.
I shall weigh every day to keep a check on things, but only take my Tuesday weight as the 'real one'. Thankyou very much, I really appreciate you all being there. .

Ok then, food today.

B: Fat free yog. Omelette with a tiny amount of parmesan grated into it, baked beans.

Banana, baby bel light and laughing cow extra light. (HeX A = all the cheese)

L: The rest of the baked beans eaten cold with tabasco - well I was busy working! An apple and a little cold chicken.
1 Hot choc drink - (2 syns)

S: SW Shepherd's pie, cabbage and when I go to pick them broad beans from the garden - tiny, whole and in their little furry pods.

Later: HexB in the form of 1 or 2 suitable bars. No wine, (I am drinking low cal lemonade and no lemon drizzle birthday cake which I have just made for my daughter.) May have another fat free yog if I feel deprived. (Huh! should just settle for a smack, 'deprived', she says! - 14 stones worth of 'deprived' sitting here! ) Get a grip Bess and go and pick the beans.

I am just wondering if the huge sudden jump from 13.10 to 14st might have been caused by a Chinese take away on Sunday night? Hmm.....well we'll see, straight and narrow for me from now on.

 

[herewego]

Looks good Bess and I'm sure the weight gain is mainly due to the Chinese food - I always bloat for a couple of days after a Chinese takeaway!
