Oops-I nearly gave my secret away!

[**sparkles**]

For just over 3 months I've kept this diet a secret from my relatives in Oz. Had a phone call from my sister-in-law this morning to tell me they will be coming over in late September. This is much sooner than I expected to see them-I thought we would have to save our pennies first and get out there before they could see how much weight I've lost! She asked me what I'd been up to lately-and I sooo badly wanted to tell her about the diet. I only just stopped myself!

Hopefully I should be either at, or near to, my goal by the time they come over. I know that they will get a shock-as I was about 17 stone the last time they saw me! Hopefully by then I should be moving up the plans, or maintaining by then, so I can still go out for a meal. If we go to the Harvester I can at least have chicken and a small baked potato. I can't wait to see their faces when we meet them at the airport!

That's going to be a brilliant feeling Sparkles... a great goal if ever there was one!

Awwwwwww that's so brilliant. What fun it will be to see their reactions at the airport. xxx it's hard not telling some close family\friends about this diet as it's really exciting to see the weight dropping off at this rate. well done xxx

Hmmm-I've just been doing the maths. It's 13 weeks until they come over. It means I have to lose 3st 11lbs to be at goal. That's not going to happen! To be at BMI 25 I have to have lost 2st 11lbs. With my losses I can't see that happening either. Looks like I won't have started moving up the plans by then, so may just have to take a planned night off for a 'sensible' meal. Going to start doing some toning exercise so that I can at least look like I don't need to lose much more weight. I really need a couple of big losses to help me on my way a bit more now....

Just see how you feel at the time and don't worry about it till then xxx

Dont look too far ahead, one step at a time, you are still gonna look totally amazing, and they will be really shocked and pleased for you, we'll plan a night out nearer the time and get you sorted then, for now, keep your eyes on the prize!
