Willpower.... where do I find that?!?!?

[Caroline_Louise]

i bet im excited about going gym today too!! Also thinking about new thnings that can go on my shopping list that havent been there for ages! Like Alpen hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

No longer is my oh shopping for just himself!!! Cooking as well I love cooking soooo much x

What stuff are you having again?

I love Alpen! Although in fact I blame it for sending me off the rails on CD coz you can have the lesser sugar one on step3 and i remember once eating half a bag in one go lol! I love cooking too. Was so nice making a meal for my dad and I last night, and he even said that it was nice to have me eating with him again instead of just watching me be miserable with a dinner that you drink through a straw. Made me laugh but it also hit home a bit how unsociable that diet made me, and i so missed sitting down in the evenings with my family-thats a really important part of my life!

All my food is in my diary hun, coldnt poss list it on here too as I've forgotten and theres loads! xx

yeah thats what my OH was saying to me also about its kind of family time also xxxx

There is just nothing quite the same as sitting down to a meal with people you care about, weird isn't it!
Oh btw Missie I did the calculations on the website again and 'officially' it says 463/2313 for me. I am going to try and stick to that for DD's which should be fine, not like its loads less, but I will not be doing that many on Ups. Its because of the amount of exercise I do but my body is so used to it I don't think it should factor in to how much I eat really. Also the first two weeks are most important and I won't be doing nrly as much exercise whilst I'm away so better to keep the cals to a minimum if I can. I'm still perfectly happy with that xxx

Thanks for your the sympathy over redundancy threat girls - but I am praying I get it. I'll be back to lap up sympathy next thursday if I'm staying!

I really can't see it as the rest of the company have already started their restructures and there is no equivalent of my role in those depts so it's looking promising - am trying not to build my hopes up - but can't help it!

Have worked here for 19 years now so am well overdue for a change. It's quite a stressful job and I just don't enjoy it anymore. I considered leaving last year once daughter stopped being such a drain on my finances - but long service is like a noose around your neck, glad I rode it out now though. It'll be a massive change for me and I don't doubt I'll have mixed feelings about it once I know for sure - but for the time being all I can think of is being debt free (for first time in my adult life!) and having a new bathroom!

Yes CD and socialising are impossible. I've found the lovely weather particularly upsetting. I get that beer garden feeling and feel constantly hard done by. I've felt really rude while the rellies have been over visiting too, not joining them for meals or planning stuff for them/us to do. Have left it all to Mom and Dad on the entertaining front and feel bit guilty. Oh well, I'll make up for it next time, as I WON'T be on milkshakes then or EVER!

 

[MissieCB]

awww babe think i must have missed the redundancy thing!!!! Know what you mean by stressful job and you have my sympathies xxxxx

I shall cross all my fingers and toes for u my dear
I was telling missie that it was so nice to cook a meal for me and my dad tonight and sit down and eat together. He actually commented it was nice to see me eat something at the table, and not through a straw either! He was v supportive of me losing weight but his comments hit home as not to be morbid or anything but life is too short not to be able to sit and have a meal with family or loved ones! X

Either way I'm not loving mirrors today and am more determined than ever that i shall be good on hol and return a slimmer cazzaaa! Hope my ladies r ok xx
