I've had an awful awful week and totally fallen off the bandwagon.
Lots has been going on at work and I'm feeling very insecure that I may not have a job for much longer - they're changing everything around and it's scary stuff. On top of that my brother's epilepsy is out of control at the moment, having upto 3 fits a day. It must be awful for him, I really do wish there was something I could do but I can't so I end up comfort eating which we all know really doesn't help.
I'm going to WI tonight and hopefully that'll shock me back onto plan, I know I've put atleast 2lb on. I just want to get WI out the way and move on now, really.

Thanks for the encouragement Louise. Re. the job, we're having a meeting ASAP is all we've been told, I'll wait 'n' see...
Anyway, 1/2lb off which isn't brilliant but atleast it's something, I really don't deserve it though.
My weight loss for this month has been rather pathetic (ahem, 2.5lb) so this is the month of weight loss revolution now, haha. But seriously, I haven't stuck to SW for a weekened in WAY over a month so this is the perfect time to begin.
Hope you're all doing brilliantly. x

Hi hun, just catching up on your diary. Hope you are ok and hope your bro is ok. I have a very good friend with epilepsy and know how unpredictible it can be so hope everything gets sorted. Half a pound is a standard block of butter so don't be disheartened xxx

Hi Amy,
It's tough when things in life are out of our control and what we do to compensate is the one thing that IS in our control.... EAT !!!
I'm sure its something that affects all of us but what I've learned is that its how we react to it and how we deal with it afterwards that counts. You seem to have that sorted! Well done
I hope things get better for you soon and that the job situation sorts itself out and that your brother has things a bit easier.
Have a great week xx

I'm just about to go in the bath actually, lol.
Red days work for me, they always have but I find them a) harder and b) more expensive. I've done 5 days on the trot of them and I'm sure that I'll lost a few lb compared to the usual 1lb a week however I have felt very tired/weak at times which I never do when doing a green day.
Thanks for your reply Louise, it really has helped to turn my frown upside down. x
