Hope you had a great weekend Darcy.
You deserve a break!

 

[Darcy15]

Sorry I've been missing for a few days.............work became really impossible and I have resigned from my new role

I am waiting to hear what happens next - hopefully just a simple return to my previous job, but that depends on management I suppose .......might just end up retiring sooner than I had thought

I tried my best, but every day something else would be expected of me ........it simply wasn't the job I expected or wanted, and life was miserable

Ashamed to say I resorted to comfort eating for a few days, so my weight loss has stalled a bit

Enjoying my few days holiday - met a friend for lunch today, which was lovely

.....there is a life outside of work, and I need to focus on that

 

[nattyclare78]

I am sorry to hear that Darcy but you had to do what was right for you.
I hope you get the outcome you want

I think you should view it as a well deserved break and I daresay it will give your weight loss a boost.

Good to have you back! So quiet around here

 

[womble35]

Sorry to hear that too Darcy - must have been a very difficult decision to make, so am sure you have done what's best. x

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling down. Whatever happens you know you did it for the right reasons. This may be the start of a new phase of your life so forget the comfort eating and make a fresh start. Life is not about work, it's just a means to an end. Take care.

 

[Darcy15]

Thank you so much everyone

As in everything - including diets - I'm an all or nothing personality

Work became more than a job, and was taking over my life - not healthy

It was a very difficult decision, but I know it was the right one for me

I'm back at work tomorrow so I'll hear then what the plan is

.....assuming I have a job of some sort I'm going to coast through the next 8 months and retire at the end of next March as I had planned

Back on TS and counting down to my cruise in 7 weeks

Hi Darcy

Just wanted to say I have read all your diary (it did take me 2 days!) and I think you are truly inspirational!

You have done so well and been through so much and still managed to get the weight off.

I hope tomorrow is a good day for you and I look forward to reading more

Well done for getting back on it.

Where are you going on your cruise?

[nattyclare78]

Wow that looks amazing!
Hope you have a great day Darcy, how did it go at work?

 

[nattyclare78]

Hope you had a great weekend

 

[womble35]

Hey Darcy! How's it going? x

 

[Darcy15]

Hanging my head in shame

Comfort eating the past few weeks due to work pressures

Nothing is sorted.......it is all in the hands of HR .......so I'm still battling away with the current job, which I just hate more every day

I've got my pension papers downloaded, and seriously thinking about just going for it and retiring

.....which would be 8 months before I planned to, so not anything too drastic in truth

I have 'gained' about 12 lbs, most of which I hope is water weight - I'm so ashamed of myself

But, tomorrow is another day and I'm back on plan

 

[womble35]

Hey Darcy - was worried about you - I know it has to be something serious to take you off plan, so sending lots of positivity your way. Being in a job you hate is awful, but at least the end is in sight - whether it's early retirement or back to what you know and love. Big hugs x

 

[Julie2011]

Darcy, don't be ashamed. You've been going through a lot recently. It's a beautiful day today (at least it is where I live in West London), so try and have a lovely day. Keep on plan as much as you can, but don't stress over it. With everything else going on in your life just try and maintain a healthy diet in the meantime, you may lose a little weight or stay the same, but that way you won't gain weight. Once you are feeling less stressed about your job, that might be a better time to start your diet. First and foremost take care of yourself, and know that you have a lot of support from me and all your Minimin pals.

 

[Darcy15]

Thank you so much for the words of support

Nothing sorted at work yet

.....but I've given up worrying about it. If all else fails, I will simply retire!

Back on track, and a good TS day

 

[Julie2011]

Well done Darcy. I've managed to stay TS today. Sometimes I add a little chopped bacon and/or mushrooms into my evening Exante soup but I'm trying to stop that as my losses haven't been as much as I've wanted.

 

[nattyclare78]

How are you doing Darcy? Sorry you are having a rubbish time x

 

[nattyclare78]

Hope alls ok Darcy x
