Sammy's Journey - this time I WILL do it!

good luck with the next phase - you've done amazingly and i've needed the inspiration so thank you
 
Take care Sammy, the important thing is to look after yourself. You've done so well so far, and whether it be WW or Exante, you know you can lose the last bit of weight and achieve your goal.
Keep your eyes focused on that Costa Rica trip, it's going to be amazing!
 
Jeeeeessus hun, thats awful, and such a shame too, but health has to come first, hopefully having a month off will help your body go back to its normal functions

And indeed you do look fab :D

Hope the hair situation isnt too bad, or noticeable?

Hey Sammy

How's it going?

xx
 
My hairs stopped coming out but it was handfuls when i washed it... it scared the hell out of me and then when I started feeling really rubbish it was pretty scarey, I didnt know what was happening, it seems to come on pretty quick...

I think maybe weight watchers wont work for me... as I've planned to use all my extra points to get totally smashed this weekend... only 2 points for vodka waaaayyyhhaaayyy haha

Im not too worried if I dont lose anything as long as I dont gain, it will be good for me to learn how to maintain my weight anyway
 
Glad your hair isnt still coming out and only 2 points for a vodka ha ha awesome :)

Enjoy but dont go mad xx
 
This is so true! Am going to cut and paste this into my journal if ya let me

Time for a proper reply now, its hard when Im working during the week, I just quickly come on and post at work or just before I go to bed.

I would be lying it I said Im finding it easy... Im not but I just realised I can keep making excuses for myself or I can just get on with it. We can all blame hundreds of things for why we got overweight but truthfully (unless medical) there is only one person to blame and thats us, I put the food in my mouth, be it comfort eating, greedy whatever... it was me who made the choice to eat it and now I can either keep making excuses, keep cheating and just perlong this... or I can get my head back in the game and focus on why Im doing this and what the end goal is.

Everytime I see the scales go down, it makes me feel a hell of a lot better then eating the bad food Ive refused would have. If I cheat, I feel guilty, get angry with myself, regret eating it... whats the enjoyment in that? If I turn it down and see the scales dropping, I feel proud of myself, feel a tiny bit more happy in my own skin and most importantly... it rebuilds my confidence, makes it easier to walk down the street with my head held high... I will now happily walk through a group of lads, before if I saw a group of lads, I would do my best to avoid walking through the middle of them or near them, with the hope they wouldnt comment on the fat girl, stupid huh? But thats how low my confidence was.

We can all say "tomorrow I will be good" "tomorrow I will restart" but tomorrow can be a day, a week, a month, a year... tomorrow can just keep getting pushed back and back until it never comes and until you have wasted your life waiting for tomorrow to make a change.

You just have to look through this forum to see what amazing weight loses people make, people who probably thought they would always be overweight, we can all do this, we just need to want it enough and face up to the reality of it and stop making excuses, Im the worse for this but thats gotta change, no more excuses!

It's so good to be able to read an entry from someone who is really determined and is taking responsibility for their actions....and seeing great results

I can only do this one day at a time, but today I am going to be 100%
 
K... i hate weight watchers... i hate how bloated the food makes me feel, i hate counting points, weighing food and having to keep referring to a book to see what I can and cant eat, sod what the doctor said, Im going back on Exante but Im going to add in a chicken salad.

Hi Angie, yeah of course you can use it :) and thank you! Sadly my body decided to work against me and I had to take a break but Im going to give it another try :)
 
hi sammy good decision i think thats the best thing and at least your getting more calories by adding a meal. good luck on ws.
 
Hey Sammy - sounds like a plan ;)

Good luck and let us know how it goes

First day back on today, had 2 shakes and a no carb meal... I know I should have 3 packs but Im a bit skint at the mo! So trying to eek them out to last longer.
 
Hey Sammy
How you feeling?
xx
 
Much better now thank you hun, giving working solutions a go but know i'll end up going total solutions again before too long, got a wedding in 6 weeks and ive got a size 12 dress to get in... size 14s just fit... so ive got to shift some weight quick sharp!

I put on a couple of pounds on weight watchers, which isnt bad considering i went back on carbs and stuff, so Im pretty happy that I'll be able to maintain easy with weight watchers once I get to goal.

How are you doing?
 
I'm good, thanks

Great news about WW - it must be a comfort to know that you've already found an ideal maintenance plan

xx
 
Hey hun, good news on only having a 2lb gain, thats really good!

Welcome back with WS, I hope it starts out better for you

Thanks lovely ladies.

Todays been ok, no major problems.

Ive got a date this weekend though and do not know what to wear... we are going to a pub in twickenham to watch the rugby... no idea what to wear... I dont wanna make too much of an effort but i dont wanna look too plain either... arghh! Its so difficult lol, only been out with him a couple of times before so its not like i can comfortably just slob around!
 
Oooh how exciting!! Enjoy - I'm sure you'll look lovely whatever you decide to wear

So today I discovered the dangers of "i'll get back into that" while on Exante...

Just gone through my wardrobe of things I havent got into for years... things that I WOULD get back into... and they are now... too rubby big! Missed the window of opertunity to wear them, so now having to go in the charity bag! Gutted!
