Stace's wedding and weight diary-restarting today!

[mod-karen79]

I found this on my blog from when i started cd, i weighed 14st 3lb then and i was about a size 16 (the dress was a very very very small fitting dress) i now weigh around 2 stone more than this which makes me feel sooooo crap! I didnt go to my cousins wedding cos i was overweight and yet i have put more on! am sooo pathetic i hate myself soooo much right now

xxx

we've all been there - or still are there in my case! i have a room full of clothes that are a size 18-20, but i can't get into any of them... i can't dress the way i want, i don't wear anything i like, i live in black clothes and everyone else seems to like what i wear, except me... i feel frumpy and boring. i'm used to being very stylish and individual, but my weight has got to a point where i don't dress the way i used to as i don't want people to look at me! sad or what? despite losing weight i'm still a size 24 and it makes me feel like s**t, but i try not to dwell on it. if i did i'd probably be under a psychiatrist! ...but the fact is i'm pretty amazing - i've just eaten too many pies for far too long, but now i'm doing something about it...and so are you!

we all have blips - look at me. i started SW in april and shifted 2 and a half stone by end of august. i went on holiday and didn't return to class until last week - i'd managed to gain 15lbs since august ...but i feel great now as i'm back in control and doing something about it. i managed to shift 5.5lbs this week and feel fantastic about it.

my advice to you would be to do a big SW shop, eat lots of free foods to keep you from craving bad food and show yourself you mean business. i was offered nachos covered in melted cheese and dips tonight, but i said NOOOOOOOOO ....i'll have a jacket potato. trust me those nachos had me salivating, but i'd rather lose a few lbs next week!

do yourself and your grandad proud. don't give up - you're a strong woman and your grandad would want you to be happy with yourself...and if that means shifting the weight, then we'll all do it together. xxx

Hey - a belated I care too, glad you're feeling more positive hun, we all have times whne we feel like that and its not that counts, its how we deal with it thats the important part. A wedding is such a personal thing and its entirely up to you how, where, when etc, but Im glad to see you've decided, now the real excitement can begin. Dont let the weight you want to lose spoil the run up to the day! Our friends are getting married in Nissi Beach Hotel next year - I cant wait! xxx

well i walked out of my job yesterday the manager of my floor just had no respect for anyone, i had a lot of things i wanted to talk to him about such as how our team has 12 pple and 1 team manager and the other team has 3 people and 2 team managers and they wont help us out etc etc etc so i went for a meeting with him and he jus basically told me to feck off how nice, then yesterday we all found out we where only gettin half the pay we were expecting and the rest would be in next months pay!!!!! so i handed in my notice and my team manager sed he cudnt blame me and wishes he had the bottle to too, but then the call centre manager come in giving me crap so i told him i was leavin there and then, he told me to wait for 2 hours while they all had a meetin about me!!! so i waited till they went in n i packed my stuff up sed bye to everyone and left hahahahahhaha then i found out 3 other pple also walked after me!!!! but i got 3 interviews lined up so not bad

on the positive side H2B took me shoppin last night to cheer me up and i bought some new trousers for my interview and i had to get the next size down so i went from a 20 to 18 from the same shop yey!!!!! and i have only lost 11.5lbs i tried the 20's on n they nearly fell down (the ones i already had were fallin down to) and the 18s fit nicely

Well done you - thats great. What jobs are you going to interviews for? all exciting stuff xxx

 

[emski]

Woop woop ..you go girl.. I wish I could do that.. but money etc.. but Im proud of you

 

[mod-karen79]

how liberating! lol ....it must be great just to walk out of a job, fingers up at them as you walk out the door!

i was working for asda years ago and the full-time warehouse woman was off for 3 months having her stomach stapled. they were expecting me to do my job aswell as hers - 48 hours worth of work a week in 30 hours. one day i clocked in, walked into the warehouse and said to my friend "f**k this! i'm outta here!" ....and i went home and back to bed.

an hour or so later my manager rang me and started having a go at me about health and safety, as i hadn't told anyone i'd left (when i had told 3 people)....so i went to my GP the next day and got signed off sick with stress/depression. i took 5 months off, then handed my notice in! BEST thing i ever did.

just thought id say a belated 'we do care'! were all in this together hun and if your having problems you need to talk them though.

have you been to your job interviews yet? good on you fo having the bottle to quit, i think that must take a lot of strength

 

[Tinkerbell1987]

it was well funny cos all my team where like stace ya cant u got ya mortgage to pay and stuff n i was like well yea thats true but after the stress and crap i got from my last job i promised myself i wudnt put up with s**t again so am not, then i crossed all my sales off the board, wrote bye bye on the wall and walked hahahahaha

I got 4 sales interviews, 2 are for team managers tho so fingers crossed

I know i shud be worried cos of money etc but atm i just feel happy that i didnt put up with crap again!

Hun, first of all - I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier, I'm normally here all the time but it must have passed me by.
You are sounding much more positive now and have a had a great loss too.
Chin up and good luck on the job front.
