Teresa's 2011 diary

Having a sneaky peak at this stage wont change the result (that was my thinking anyway!).... it'll soon be done and you'll know your result.
 
SHOCKING 4 pound gain, very very upset, 5 pounds to get back to target range and 8 pounds to actually get back to target which I know is no that much but just so cross with myself for letting myself do this :-(

Even ended up in tears in group, everyone was so nice but i now feel worse for breaking down

:-( :-( :-(
 
Hi Teresa

Oh no, I'm sorry to you were so upset in class :( Dont feel bad about it, as I'm sure you'd be equally supportive to any of the other members if you were in their position. We're all there for each other :)

So you had a gain, but you went to class you faced it and you're ready to move on from it. Is that right ? You can draw a line under the gain and start again.

I hope you've had a good day and you're feeling better now.
