Haha, I hate thin people! No I don't really, but I do stare and yearn! I always look at thin people and what they are wearing and wonder whether I would wear that if I was thin and would it suit me?

hi
don't get yourself down about tackless tess. just tell her that you'll tell her all about CD when she comes back to work as she'll need it
lol
i stare at thin people and wonder how they do it. i've very very concious of what i eat all the time. i asked this question to my CDC and she said that you'll find that if they eat lots one day they'll not eat much for a few days after and that they probably don't eat much at all most of the time. see i've thin and fat friends and i've got to say my thin friends are better at putting it away than my fat friends.
one of my friends needs to loose about 2 stone, not much. she's in the normal range as it is and is doing SW. she can go out and drink and eat for a couple of days then get back on diet and by wednesday weight in she's lost 2lb. i can't believe it. another family friend eats packets of choc biscuits all day every day and is a stick. i think a lot of it is genetics and metabolism. i think that i've a pretty slow metabolism and i'm trying to up it. i think to loose my last bit i'll need to drop plans but so far i'm just not mentally able to do this. i think 2 weeks on the 810 plan would get the last 7lbs off me. it's just sticking to it and i feel i can't.

We're all proper low at the moment aren't we? At least we are sticking to CD for the most of it. We'd feel even worse if we we're off plan completely.
Hope you ladies have a good day and feel better soon

First things first, lunch times will return to normal as of Monday - Tactless Tessie has finally buggered off on maternity leave yay yay yay!!!
I got a lovely email off my CDC this morning, telling me not to panic, I'm NOT in the 14s hooraaaaaaaaaaaayyy!!! I measured my waist this morning and it's 34 and a half inches, so only half an inch has gone on. I've decided to stick with the not knowing for at least another week. If I do the diet properly I will lose weight so the number doesn't actually matter anymore if I'm not in the 14s.
I don't know why I got it into my head that I was but I felt sure of it last night, so pleased thats not the case though.
Had a very bizarre day at work today, it started out as stressy and horrible as always, but at 3.30 this afternoon there was a massive power cut!!! It took out the whole of the hospital!!!! Our room was plunged into complete couldn't see your hand in front of your face) blackness. Luckily the patient was very understanding, because the emergency generator took a lifetime to kick in. In reality it was only a couple of minutes but in the pitch black it felt like ages. No one dared move in case we tripped over. The power still hadn't been restored when I left at 5, the emergency generator only powers certain areas of the department, so we ended up sitting around waiting to go home, couldn't do anything, it was very silent and strange.
Anyway tomorrow I'm starting completely afresh, I've got a little bit more ooomph now. I've found out that my friend is having her leaving do in the town where my ex AP goes out, and I'm almost guarenteed to bump into him, so I want to look as good as I possibly can. I haven't seen him face to face since we handed our property back to each other so it'll be a bit traumatic but if I look better than I did when we were together I'll feel better. So I know losing weight for men isn't ideal, but it might just give me the push to keep going.

Okay today is day 1 AGAIN!!!!! I've lost count of how many times I've started over, so this time I'm making no promises. At the moment I'm feeling pretty resolute, I've ignored the table full of haribo (the thing that broke me yesterday). It was my Mums birthday yesterday and we always go out for dinner on someones birthday - family tradition- but they wouldn't go without me. I felt really bad like I wad ruining her birthday, which I'm sure I wasn't but just felt guilty anyway so I ended up saying I'd go out with them and proceeded to eat like I'd never been fed! I didn't eat all my food but I did have birthday cake.
I've been awake since 5 am tossing and turning feeling a bit crappy about it, which is why I'm feeling so strong this morning, I hope it lasts!! I was also thinking about pressure at work I work really well under pressure but when it comes to dieting I seem to fall apart, and I don't understand why!!
So yet again I'm taking each hour as it comes and hopefully this is the start of the end!!!

I've been very lucky to STS this week, I've had more days off than on CD and I'm due my TOTM too. I've also got a very good reason to seriously stick with it for the next 4 weeks... My little bro turned up at my WI and asked if he could come back to CD, he wants to lose as mch as he can in the next 4 weeks too, and although he insists he won't be bothered I suspect there'll be a bit of sibling rivalry going on, I KNOW I can't let him beat me at being 100% He's very militant about the diet and I know he'll stick to the plan to the letter so I have to do the same!!! Might stitch my lips **** with just a tiny owning for a straw lol... Okay maybe not maybe just exercise a bit more willpower!

I'm so p*ssed off I could cry
:cry:!! This is absolutely nothing to do with the diet at all, but I just need a good rant, so sorry. On my way home from work tonight my car started juddering and felt really rough, then an engine warning light came on. The manual says take to dealers - which it would really. I'm gutted, it's another costly trip to the garage, I've only just had another fault fixed last month, every month the money I'm meant to be saving for my trip to Vegas is getting spent on my car:cry:!!! It's not just that it's the inconvenience of it all. My bro is giving me a lift to work tomorrow and dad is picking me up, I'm off on Monday so I'll be visiting the garage, I'm just hoping dad will be able to take me to work for the rest of next week cos I live 15 miles away from work, but it takes 2 hours on the bus, it's a nightmare. Bloody car!! I love it but it's bleeding me dry!!! Sometimes (alot) I wish someone would steal it, so I could get a new one, I'd get rid of it but I've still got 2 and a half years left on the loan!!! Booo!!!
However because of my car incident I've been too preoccuppied tonight to have the little treat tea I was sneakily planning, and I really don't feel like it now, I've binned it, wasting money I know but I don't care, I don't want to cheat anymore, I'm going to be in control of something (cos I'm not in control of my damn car!!!!) Aaaarrrrghhh I want to do joined up swearing!!!!! Sh*t, ar*e, b*ll*cks, f*ck!!!! Sorry if anyone is offending but F**************CK!!!!!! Oh, that hasn't really made me feel any better.:cry:

On a different note, last night I watched America's Biggest Loser, I'd taped it from Monday. That programme had me in floods of tears last night. There's a lady on it who was 476lbs when she started, that's 34st to us Brits. She's had a really rough life, bouncing from one foster home to another and comforted herself with food. She's got no self-esteem at all. For those who've not seen the programme before each week a person (or team of 2 people) get eliminated if they lose the least amount of weight.
Each week whoever falls below the dreaded yellow line gets put up for elimination, and the others have to chose who they want to send home... some weeks its teams some weeks its individuals. This week it was teams. There's various other reasons why they fell into the danger zone. This week it was because one of the other individuals chose to eat a load of cup cakes to win control of who was going to weigh in from each team. The selfish cow chose the big 34st lady who needed to lose 7lbs to be safe, her teammate didn't need to lose as much for them to be safe. I was gutted for her because she lost 6lbs.
BUT the other team that fell below were 2 guys and they both pleaded with the rest of the members to send them home because they both had a strong support network and could continue to lose the weight on their own. The 34st lady had no-one to help and really needed to stay for the support and help. I was crying so much because it totally restored my faith in human nature that people could be so selfless and put themselves out of the competition for another person.
I think it affected me more having had no self-esteem myself and knowing how much losing weight meant to that lady. I hope she stays in as long as possible because she really needs the help!! I know it's cheesey American telly but I'd recommend it to anyone because it also gets you believing that if these people can do it so can you, I find it spurs me on when I feel like giving up!!
It's on Sky 1 at 8pm on Mondays. I totally recommend it!!!

i watched it last night too and love shay. tracey is just a b*tch. poor mo.
i think that the red team were fantastic giving their spot up so that she and the other chap could stay. mind the red team, black bloke, can't remember his name now, lost an amazing amount when they went to catch up. he was stunning! very muscular.
i was almost crying, would have done if hubby had not walked in at the end part.
car.... have you tried an independant garage? ron turnbulls is good. they're in the boro somewhere near the zetland car park area. your car needs totally sorting and you should be kicking off about it.

Aw those red guys had me crying like a baby. They both looked fab at the end, esp the black guy!! I'm so glad they managed to do it alone after making the sacrifice for Shay!! Tracey, grrrrr I was shouting at the telly, horrible cow!! She didn't deserve to lose 11lbs with all those cupcakes!!! I was willing her to gain. Shay is fab, I hope she stays in til the very end she needs it poor thing!!
As for the car, I take it to a very good independent guy in Marske, he's great and will do all the diagnostics for free - Renault charge £70 for that alone. Dad seems to think it isn't a very big job but it's just so bloody inconvenient!! I know he won't rip me off with the cost of repairs either. He charged me £100 for the last repair when Renault quoted me £140 without the diagnostic checks they'd have to do first. So I'm lucky there really, he's a friend of a friend. Luckily dad is off work for the next week so at least getting to and from the garage should be less of a problem than normal!

My car is all fixed now, it literally took 10 minutes this morning to diagnose and fix the problem. And it didn't cost the earth either thank god.
I've just done a hideous shift at work... 1pm til 9pm, I really struggled to organise my meal times for that shift, fortunately it's only 1 every 31 weeks!!
Bit cross that I don't seem to be in ketosis yet, last time it took 2 days this time I'm 4 days in and nothing grrr.

you'll probably be in ketosis by now.
so glad your car is fixed and i hope it stops going wrong for you.

I hope so too, on both accounts. As of this morning still not in Ketosis, so maybe tomorrow. I woke up this morning with really sore butt muscles. I have no idea why, I have done nothing at all to warrant having a sore ass. The only thing I can think of is that I might have been subconsciously clenching my muscles all day, ouch!!
Tomorrow morning I'm off to Dalton Park (retail outlet near me) to go to Gap, with my mum. Then in the afternoon I've got the delightful task of laying the slate between my drive and my neighbours. I'm so sick of the weeds that keep coming back so I've dug it all up, doused it in weed killer, then tomorrow I'm going to lay the weedproof membrane and slate.It'll look lovely when it's done, but it's a right nightmare. I've got 150kgs of slate sitting on my patio waiting to be shifted to the driveway. That ought to burn some calories!! I'll put photo's on once it's done!
