Steps In The Right Direction...86.6lbs Lost Fasting

Well, today was perfect. He was even better in person than I remembered :D He's funny, charming and I know it's probably a bit daft to be impressed by something like manners, but...he has them!! Neither cousin nor I had mentioned my weight loss and her OH was sworn to secrecy as I wanted him to like me regardless of my size and last time he saw me I was at my heaviest. Met him at the ferry...thankfully did recognise him :p...and the first thing he said was "wow, you look amazing"... I felt like a princess!! :princess:...even with my elasticated waist on my jeggings!! The day passed so quickly with not one awkward silence. Was just so easy talking to him. Had a lovely lunch out and then an ice cream mid afternoon and stopped for a coffee on the way back to the ferry. The weather was perfect, not too hot and a light breeze. It really couldn't have gone better. And I think he feels the same :happy036: Will see what happens next. He phoned from the ferry to make sure I'd got home ok and we are going to Skype tomorrow....which means I'll need to find something to wear again :eek: *shuffles off to look at clothes on bedroom floor* Hope everyone has had a great Saturday x

Talk about having your bubble burst and coming down to earth with a bang. My mother has just emailed me saying there was an offer she couldn't refuse ....she has signed me up for three months of WW online as it was half price. As she put it " it should help put a dent in things what with your weight problem". Can someone... anyone!... take her for just a couple of months. She's house trained but prone to the odd temper tantrum if you get in the way of countdown or deal or no deal. Comes with 2 hoovers and permanently attached rubber gloves and a whiff of bleach about her..dust will never be given the chance to settle in your house. Cutting comments are her highest skill that she has been perfecting for decades. Unbelievable. Even my brother who is the least observant person on the planet said my bum took up less room on the couch...that's as good a compliment as I'll get from him. It's almost like she has some kind of radar and knows when to stick the knife in. :mad:

Thanks for the offer but no thanks....

Following the success of their recent space mission - hear the Indians are recruiting - how about returning the favour and signing her up :superwoman: .....??
 
Oh honestly, what is she like. You know what will happen next, she'll put all your fabulous losses down to her joining WW for you, regardless of fasting and how far you've come!
 
Mothers hey!!!!

Well she can keep her ww cos you're a 5:2er & proud...

Anyway sod the mother talk how was the skype chat?
 
So started back to work yesterday. I've been given all the rubbish, time consuming stuff to do :rolleyes: Rumour has it that a new wave of redundancies are being announced on Friday. Part of me obviously doesn't want to lose my job in the current climate but on the other hand it would be a better way to leave a job I hate than getting sacked for losing it and going postal one day :eek: Time will tell. Told my mother where to stick her WW subscription and got a whole load of things off my chest I've been holding in for years. Do feel slightly guilty but enough is enough and I doubt she feels guilty when she makes her cutting remarks to me. I'm now getting the silent treatment. Skype went well the other day :) I do have my sensible head on these past couple of days and going to try and keep things in perspective. He's coming over again weekend after next. Being in different countries isn't ideal so we'll just need to see how it pans out. Food hasn't been that great. Managed my fast yesterday but have eaten nothing but junk today. Going to weigh in on Saturday morning and then the scales are being put in the loft for a month. (picturing Lexie rocking and muttering to herself in a corner at the thought!) Going to have a plan of attack for July..exercise, diet and a general kick up the bum. Fitbit is arriving tomorrow..well it's coming via yodel so could turn up tomorrow, next week or more than likely delivered to my neighbour by mistake!
 
I understand where you're coming from with the job, I was made redundant years ago when I was pregnant & at the time gutted but if that hadn't happened I wouldn't have the Job I do now which pays well & I'm happy in. Well done for telling your mum & as much as you feel guilty you needed to do it, you're an adult & she needs to realise that. Glad Skype went so well, well done for trying to keep it all in perspective, I've always been a nightmare, I fall in love too easily & too fast which has lead to lots of tears over the years. As for the monthly weigh in sorry I can't comment I'm off to find to a corner to rock in ;)

Sorry to hear about work sounds bad - so redundancy may be a way out - a Lexie says - but not ideal I know. Really chuffed that u had it out with ur Mum - silence is golden they say!! So pleased the 'Skype went well - and whilst long distance relationships are tough going - after ur recent experiences it may have its advantages?? I can't keep off my scales for a a day (morn & eve!) so RESPECT for deciding on a monthly routine - I know that 12 readings over the year will have less fluctuations but the suspense wd kill me!! Have fun with fitbit.
 
Well another long day working. I get assigned a block of work ...30 hours worth a week. Except this lot is probably going to take half that again at least and I won't get paid extra...the drawback of working from home. I'm actually hoping to get made redundant now! Today's fast also didn't happen...a pack of 8 French Fancies did :eek:...and a pizza..and other stuff. Not going to beat myself up. Today's done no point moaning about it. Fitbit didn't turn up either..thanks Yodel. Has been out for delivery since 7.30am this morning according to the online tracking but hasn't appeared.Hopefully it will come tomorrow. Bit of a bleugh kind of day. And I'm so itchy and have a streaming nose and itchy eyes so dosed up on piriton. Thankfully that's all I'm on now as no longer need painkillers and antibiotics did their job.

Upndown...I'm annoyed I reacted to my mother. I've learnt that it is pointless and to save myself the grief but this time I rose to it and now my mother is playing the part of injured party. Which she loves. And when I looked at the WW subscription she took out for me she put my weight as 17 stone :mad: It's hard to accept my mother is never going to appreciate the hard work I've put in to tackling my decade long weight problem...I'll always be fat in her eyes.

Lexie...If date had proposed on Saturday I'd have said yes. I'm totally ruled by my heart and fall fast and deep. I'm trying my best to play it a bit more casual...not show undying devotion too soon!! :rolleyes:...I'll cave in a couple of weeks!!

I had actually thought of ditching scales till Christmas :eek:..and just going by clothes sizing. But I worry my portion control would start slipping...I'm always going to be greedy..want two bits of cake not one!! So going to give up scales for next month and see if it works. Could be a huge mistake and I'll put on but don't want to be ruled by scales forever more and have my mood for the day dictated by a number.

Well glad to hear ur off the meds and feeling better :)

But poo to work - that seems tough working 15 hours for nowt :( - maybe u shd be looking elsewhere either way? U did well with the last interview and I know it's nto an easy option but u mentioned u fancy a move?

Know exactly what u mean about allowing ur Mum to get to u - I had a difficult relationship with my late Mother but sometimes it's good to voice what ur feeling and even tho' ur Mum will never acknowledge it - she'll know inside ur right and I reckon for some weird reason she put a false weight down on WW to get to u - unless she needs a white stick she must see how much u've lost but chooses not to acknowledge it - sounds like she's complex and has lots of probs - maybe many of her own making? :confused:

Hard for u to play it casual when ur feelings are strong - but sounds like he was keen too - hope next date goes well - any more Skypes planned??

Maybe all of the above have affected ur fast? I know esp how Mums can get under our skin - even when I was in my 30s - I used to feel like a 5 year old when mine was on a downer with me & and often sought food for comfort - making me :mad: with myself!!

Aaaa the dreaded scales - I've got it bad but I'm v interested to see how u get on - I'm hoping when I'm at target I'll be less reliant on them - as u say our clothes tell us what we need to know!! Hope ur next fast goes well - take care of u.
 
So my fitbit has turned up...and I think the strap is broken?? I'll take a photo but the strap is split underneath at the hard plastic bit where the lights show. Every time I move my wrist it catches on the hairs there...not that I have really hairy wrists!!... but it is painful. Am hoping it's not meant to be like that???
