Thread: Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

Morning my love.... i went to school in kingstanding and my dad lives there now i live in Great Barr.??

I love it when people know brum, brum lol x hope today is better for you chick..


keep smiling (shanny's watching) LOL xx

Small world hey Shanny? I keep meaning to come back down cos my old housemate from uni lives in Wolverhampton now. Time just gets away from me lol.

I can't believe this just happened… I'm sitting here in the staffroom like I do every lunch time with my tetra, and a colleague has just said this: "That diet really doesn't work does it? I've never seen you eat and you don't look like you've lost weight!" I am stunned, to be honest I didn't know what to say. I know that I haven't really lost much recently and this girl has only been herd a couple of months, but I now feel completely miserable about it. It seems like lately everyone is one my case about my diet. I don't complain about being a diet I'm just quietly getting on with it, I save my venting for minimins. I wish people would just butt out and leave me alone!! I'm not exactly feeling great at the moment as it is :-(

I'd love to just eat healthy and do exercise but if I'm losing weight slowly on a VLCD how long will it take to lose weight eating healthily? That's my plan to maintain! Grrr, people!! B

you should have just told her that she was a cheeky mare lol. some people are just so rude

I wouldn't have been so polite! Is she really skinny or could she do with losing a few lbs? If she can then I'd ask her when you next see her what diet she is going to try? If she says she's not doing a diet, just go 'oops!, my mistake' and walk away! hehehe

Ha ha normally Ive got quite an acid Tongue if someones rude but I was just so stunned. Anway typically this girl is thin, but she's started to put on weight cos she's pregnant, so she thinks she's hideously fat, which she really isn't. Next time she starts going on about how big and fat she's getting I might just agree with her!

I would, cause most people who winge about their weight are really just looking for compliments! So don't give her any...lol!

I'm not going to lol. There's very few people in the world that I can't get on with and this girl is one of them, she rubbed me up the wrong way the day she started, it's a long story, but when you're new you kind of keep your head down til you've sussed people out, but not her... She b*tched non stop about the people she used to work with at her last job. Little did she know that me and 2 of the other girls were good friends with these people. Grrr!!

I think she's got some kind of personality disorder where whatevers in her head comes out of her mouth - unfortunately it's never nice. My friend was sitting next to me at the time and afterwards the told me she was as stunned as I was. I feel like getting out my Before pictures from when I was a blimp and showing her them - "Now tell me this diet doesn't work b*tch!" Lol. Why do I think of these things hours too late? Anyway I'm rising above it and ranting on here instead. I can't be letting the likes of her get me down - I'm good at beating myself up with out her input.

I'm hungry - why? I'm off to get my last shake in a minute, but I feel like I need more!!! I am just being greedy!! Chocolate or vanilla mousse tonight??? Eeny Meeny Miny Mow.....

This miserable me is so over.........Feeling better today for some reason, I had a stern word with myself and have moved from being Negative Nelly to feeling... well not exactly positive.... but a bit less down on myself. I've kind of decided that not having kids is not the end of the world, I have my goddaughter and my neices and nephews. And if it takes me til I'm 70 to find my one then so be it. I just need to focus on not letting myself get too lonely in the meantime.

I'm a little bit annoyed because the scales haven't moved again this week. Last week I put it down to TOTM and water retention, but this week? Who knows?? I'm sure my CDC must think I'm cheating all the time, but with losses like this imagine what would happen if I cheated??

Ah well, WI tomorrow, so I guess we'll see what the 'official' scales say. I'm toying with the idea of giving SW another go because I can safely say I can achieve the same losses doing SW. I'm not sure what to do really, I'm not getting anywhere fast with CD, I think I need a good chat with my CDC. I keep putting it off now that I had that good 6lb loss, but I'll be more convinced if I could have another good loss soon. In the meantime I'm still plodding on with CD.

Right, been to WI again tonight and only another 1lb loss. It's hard to know how I feel about that because in one sense I'm glad it's yet another lb off, but then again it's only 1lb!! It's forced me to rethink how I'm doing this diet. I've been doing SS+ almost since I started, and I guess if I'm completely honest I've stopped weighing my chicken breasts, I guestimate what 120g looks like.

So my plan for this week is to do SS instead, take away the over estimations and the cooking full stop! The week I lost 6lbs I did SS, so instead of moaning about small losses and not changing anything, I'm going to have a week on SS and see if I can pull off another big one.

I'm almost within a stone and a half of target so it's really not that far left to go. I remember getting to this point last time and being so excited, this time I don't know... maybe the closer I get to the 12 stones then I might start believing that I can actually do this again.

I'm feeling really positive and I'm looking forward to having an SS week. And strangely I don't think I'm going to have too many problems with it. I've turned down an invitation to go out on Saturday night, right now this weight loss is more important to me that going out. There will (hopefully) be plenty more nights out once I've finished. I know that by turning down offers it means that I'm not likely to meet Mr Right, but again after a lot of soul searching and hard hard thinking, I've decided that I need to focus on me, and getting me thinner, with that comes my happiness and confidence.... and I'll enjoy going out much more than I do now.

At last I have a plan and I'm happy with it.

Eveningggg........ chicken take one day at a time with SS ok!! and stop being so hard on yourself too.!

He he, I'm taking SS 1 HOUR at a time. But I can do this, heck I did it in Florida a couple of years ago so there's really no reason I can't do it now for a week.

How're you doing anyway hun?

Well done you! You sound so positive. Sorry to here your weight loss wasn't what you deserved. Full respect for you for braving an SS week, but it will be worth it I'm sure. x

ss is hard but if it gives you the loss you really want then a couple of weeks isn't going to be too bad. i think that it's strange how you head changes as you progress through the diet and when it's your 2nd time you are always comparing it to the first. i too had a pants loss this week of 1/2lb. it really is rubbish isn't it. i decided i couldn't hack the 810 plan anymore so upped it to the 1000 plan. i'm hoping for a decent loss this week but who knows.

i just had to think with my 1/2lb loss that at least it's off and not on.

Thats exactly what I thought, at least its off not on. I found 810 really hard when I did it too, it's neither here nor there, I felt like I was in limbo, that's when I became unstuck on the diet and gave up, so well done for moving up to 1000!! xx
