Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

your LM should be reported. if you need to sit you need to sit. he know's the score. i'd report him.
 
I would if I thought it'd do any good but it won't, I sat down anyway, next time I won't even ask. I'll just go!! Lol.
 
Hi Sal,

Nikki is right. At the very least document it -- write the date/time etc. of everytime LM does something that's "not on". It can come in very handy.

I'll bear that in mind Mel :) It's far too nice to go to work today, beautiful outside!! There's so much that needs doing in my garden, I hope the weather stays good for the rest of the week, so I can sort it out.
 
When are you at work this week now? Is today then end of this week?
 
P.S my new see through Zumba top has arrived. Too Ill to try it on :(
 
I'm there tomorrow morning and Friday morning! Got physio at 2pm tomorrow,
 
I've had an extra bar tonight, been so hungry today :(
 
Not bad. It'll be going to work. Ems keeps kicking off tonight. Moaning and groaning, crying and screaming. Bad dreams. She's also sweating badly. So not 100% in our household. I'm in bed as I'm tired and aching. Have to find a comfortable spot to get to sleep. Off to docs tomorrow for antibiotics again. 2/3rd time this year I've had a bad throat. This time I think it's strep throat. :(
 
I've had to take myself off to bed out of the way or I'll eat all my bars and I've just got a new order so I've got 6 left :eek:
 
julie let me have 21 bars and 7 shakes for the 2 weeks cause sometimes, when i've been to the gym, the bars are better. helps me stick to it. yesterday i hardly ate anything. had 1 bar then practically nothing all my cals were through options hot choc as i was hungry some of the time but couldn't eat anything. had a bowl of ice cream at tea time when i woke from my tea time nap. i think i've got about 19 bars left. i put them in the fridge so they're not in my face.
 
Oh that's good! I like to have a bar for my breakfast when I get to work :) I'm just trying to work out what to do about lunch at work. I really can't face comments about "that diet" again. Yesterday one of the girls at work made a comment because I had a litre bottle of water in my hand.

This is the girl did LL and lost tons but gained tons more. She actually said "oh no you're not doing that diet again". I just said no. But afterwards I wished I'd said yes I am! I hate that my diet is always under scrutiny!! No matter what diet I do or don't do someone always feels the need to comment on what I'm eating now :(

Hi Sal --

You are not lying. You are not doing "that" diet. You are doing "this" one. And this time it is going to be different because you are different. You have had time at home recuperating and put a lot of time and energy into working on this -- you are using Beck and are being supported and encouraged by some of the same, and some different people. Plus, you are spending more time with Bob. ;)

I did LL in 2008, and with all the group support and "therapy", the books, materials, etc., if her counsellor had been any good -- she should not have regained all the weight. Had I stuck with my counsellor (also named Julie -- interestingly), and done all of management, I do not think I would have allowed myself to regain over half of what I lost before finding a CDC and working on losing the regain. (I did considered and tried LLL with the same LL counsellor, but it was so far away, expensive, and the group dynamic was not there, so it was not good value for the money.)

So anyway,what I am trying to say is that SHE has no room to comment on anyone's needing to relose weight, because the programme she did to lose her weight should have made her better prepared to keep it off.

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful day.

Well said mm

You should never have to justify whatever diet you do. At least you are proactive and doing something instead of doing nothing!
 
People like that are so bloody annoying!! I hate having to justify to anyone what I'm doing and why! I've had a few comments this week because I've been eating- I'm web more determined to lose it now to prove them wrong!! Grrrrr!! Xx
 
Thanks, you're all absolutely right! People should mind their own business, especially ones who know how hard VLCDs can be at times!

Had an interesting day at work today. LM sent me a text at 10pm last night saying he'd be working in a different department today so get on with the list without him. I was overjoyed lol, but didnt bother to reply, it was 10pm for godsake. I didn't see him this morning but my colleague Lise did, she said he was pissed off because neither of us had replied to his text - what a child! She's as pissed off as I am with his behaviour.

Anyway Lise said she was glad we were working alone because she wanted to talk to me about him. She thought that he was just treating her badly and didn't realise half the things he'd done and said to me too. We tried to come up with a solution, a way to deal with it and we can't!! He's been had up for bullying in the past with massive amounts of evidence and witness statements etc, but next thing it was all swept under the carpet and the bullied person ended up resigning!!

For some reason senior management are scared of him and scared of taking action against him. He's the sort who falls in sh!t and comes up smelling of roses no matter what he does :( So we're finding it hard to come up with a way of stopping him!

But on a selfish note, me and Lise are both relieved we're not the only targets and I'm sure karma will bite his butt sooner or later, I just wish it was sooner!!

Anyway a bit of a set back at physio today, didn't get any new exercises because my leg is sore from standing all the time at work. She said I needed to focus on gaining strength and not to think about moving on with running and zumba until I can manage a full day at work comfortably :( It's for the best but bloody frustrating!!
 
LM probably his sexuality is probably the one saving grace he's got. they might be scared of getting rid because of it. i would def write things down and go to your union about his behaviour rather than anyone in work.
 
That's the only thing me and Lise could come up with. That he'd play the sexuality card! I'll talk to her again about it, trouble is he's so damn subtle about it and a lot of the problems lie with him making us look stupid and incompetent because he withholds information, the old knowledge is power thing! It's a tough one to prove.
 
These pics are my new motivation for getting back into ketosis and staying put there for a good while!

I've got a condition called Cholinergic Urticaria so I get hives when my body temp is raised or my skin gets too hot. Its an allergic reaction but i cant take any antihistimines because I'm allergic to them :( (only i could be allergic to the very thing that sorts allergies lol).

I've been fine for a couple of years, but I've had a flare up this last week or so. Very itchy and annoying. Mostly on my hands and feet but sometimes I get it on my legs too. Ketosis keeps my hands and feet nice and cold :)

The first pic is my left knee and the second is the side of my right leg from where I'd been sitting with my legs crossed :eek: it's so itchy, a deep itch that I can't scratch because it makes it worse! It'll go away on it's own again at some point, but for now I'm stuck with it, so getting back into ketosis and not having any more little extras will help lots!!
