Just written a reply to Ruth and I mentioned Jane
Dear Jane, I've been missing my buddy, hope she's having a great time in France, actually not sure if France is ready for her
Can't wait to hear all about it on her diary, I think her trip will make great reading
Well today and I woke up eager to see if i could get a client for CD. Lol it's a good job I've learnt some patience. My first hopeful is on holiday, my second hopeful isn't answering her phone (possibly on holiday too), hopeful no. 3 I have found out is on meds for thyroid and blood pressure and hopeful no. 4 is her daughter, who wants to start with her mum, last and by no means least hopeful no. 5 is going away next week and dosen't want to start til after her hols.
Typical, they were all champing at the bit a couple of months ago
Never mind. My friends are all skinnies (bloody inconsiderate if you ask me
) So have devised another plan. When business kit arrives, get to work printing off fliers, business cards etc. and start putting them everywhere I can think of. Lol, maybe I could stand outside Tesco or even better inside Tesco by the bakery and hand them out
Will also do a one off advert in the local freebie newspaper.
I haven't actually done any touting for business as I didn't know when I would start, so now when I'm asked about my weight loss, I'll bung them a card.
Going out with some girlfriends on Friday, it's my friend Hazels birthday, so drinks around town, then onto a club
I don't usually do clubs, too noisy, too stuffy and certainly too young for me. looking forward to it though
Kim has asked if she can come along
This made me feel really good, it's nice to know she's not embarrassed to be seen with her old mum, maybe I'm not such a fuddy duddy after all
Had my hair done today, after last streaking session left me looking totally blonde instead of naturally highlighted
I had horrid dark roots (peppered with grey
) So had roots seen to, and am pleased with the outcome
My books arrived today along with dvd Great Rock'n Roll swindle (Sex Pistols) Which I snuck into my order too
I've started to read BC. Lots of looking at how you feel, know when you are hungry stuff. Look inside yourself, do you want to eat because you are physically hungry, or do you want to eat because you are emotionally hungry. I tried to do this, they tell you to look for physical signs etc. Well I must be doing something wrong, I couldn't do it
I haven't meditated as I said I would
Mainly because it's difficult, when you've got the children running around in the holidays. However, when they go back to school, I'm going to incorporate this into my meditations, to see if it becomes easier to do.
Principles of what they are saying seem to make a bit of sense, but I got the impression (now this could be just me) that they pooh pooh every other diet
I don't actually think that's fair, different diets work for different people. There are many that can diet successfully on CD, LL, WW, SW etc. I know that maybe they haven't faced their AD's yet, but I know in my case, I wasn't ready to do that until I had lost the weight, only then did it become important to me, in fact I just thought I was greedy etc. before losing the weight, I didn't fully realise that I had such a big problem with food.
Quote 'It was the diets that had failed me because they didn't work - for anyone'
Mmmmm not true! That statement made me bristle a bit.
I do however agree with changing our relationship with food and how looking at why and when we eat is part of the key to successful dieting and definately successful maintenance.
Will read more tonight.
