Ha ha it's taken me since February to knit the one, hope there's no hurry!!
Still no sign of ketosis, but I'm freezing cold and haven't been hungry at all so I'm just guessing I'm in ketosis despite what the damn sticks say! (this is why I only use them to check I've got back into ketosis, so unreliable!!)

Oh my god I've just had a total light bulb moment!! I've spent the afternoon watching Series 4 of Australia's Biggest Loser. The make-over episode had me in floods of tears.
One of the girls is so like me. She's spent her whole life putting up barriers and hiding but without anyone knowing how she really felt and how being overweight affected her so badly! Nobody, not even my mum or Tracey, my best friend, know how I really feel. Being significantly overweight just drags every bit of self respect and self esteem out of you and leaves you with nothing emotionally. It makes you feel like you're not good enough, you don't deserve to have the good things in life, that you don't deserve anything but the misery you have.
Anyway I ended up getting out my photo albums and really looked at the photos instead of just glancing through and not really seeing me. I looked at both fat photos and thin photos to try and get it clear in my mind that I can do it!!
I know my Christmas do is not far away, and I know I won't feel at all comfortable in what I chose to wear, but this will be the very last time that happens!! I'm going to get to a point where I'm happy and comfortable, especially with having photos taken. My holiday photos next year will have me in them, not just scenery and other people.
Today 14st 11lbs (I still look ill but hey ho)
2003 18st ish NEVER EVER AGAIN!!
Graduation 2008 12st 7lbs ish
2009 12st the target, I'm aiming for this.
Comparison.
I needed to add these photos again (even though people will be sick of seeing them) to remind myself where I've been and why I'm doing it!

Why Be Normal?
I was watching a few ladies sitting the big base's coffee shop knitting. I think it might have been a regular group. There used o be one here... I should find a group to join.
Have you ever read The Shop on Blossom Street? It is a good book that is focused around a knitting group. There are few in this series. Debbie MacComber wrote them.
What great motivation -- I was last where I wanted to be 2009, too. I should do the samesort of "record".
@ Fallen -- Yes, it can be. Your body may actually drop a degree or so in temp to conserve energy.
Regarding coldness- t's not so much a symptom of ketosis as a symptom of low calorie diets. When we eat more and digest the food it generates heat. Also, converting fat (or protein) into fuel is a slow process, so you body may not have the surplus energy to do more than maintain core temperature.
Also, the slightly lower metabolic rate induced by weight loss can cause coldness
Ok I'm trying to distract myself badly tonight lol

Back at work tomorrow Mel so I'm going to sneak a proper stick! Coldness for me is a symptom that I'm too stingy to put the heating on for any longer than normal just because I'm off work!
I've also just remembered something which made me feel a bit sh!tty. Last month there were interviews for new staff at work. A comment was made in the staffroom that they hoped they didn't employ the fat one because she looks lazy! This comment was made after the poor person in question had been shown around. People are so judgmental

OMG, that is so true. I have heard comments like in the past.
