What is helping me is reading everyone s diaries and realising I'm not the only one doing this.. I'm going to be totally honest with my thoughts on here.
I went to London with work on Friday... on the train.. I could almost hear the people sigh as I squeezed myself onto the spare seat then I spent the rest of the journey trying to hold myself in so as not to touch the people next to me!! The only spare seat was the middle one of three seats... Well never again!!! I want to be able to slip into a seat!!!
xx

Katie, ignore the inconsiderate people who have no respect these days... if only they knew just how much weight you've lost already and how amazing you've done!
It's your diary, be as honest as you want xxxxxx

Thank you Linz x x
Well not happy tonight :-( ... Lots of photos were taken on sat at my works do and I don't like my photo being taken at the best of times I know I ve put one from sat as my lil profile pic but in some I look massive. Well I know I need to lose alot more anyway one of the guys I work with has put them on fb even though I specifically asked him not too !! If I d of wanted them on there I d of put them on . I knew when I saw them that I still have a long way to go and we can all be our own worst critic but am so so cross that now they are on there and lots of people I know can see them :-( I may be brave and post a few on here I am twice the size of my other colleague I know I ve come a long way from my heaviest weight off 22 stone but ... I am so sensitive about my photo being taken it took alot for me to go to the do as it was partners and as I am on my own didn't want to go but was persuaded to go . I did have a gd time but it was a shock seeing the photos as I know I still look big .. This has peed me off somewhat and so I thought I d rant on here lol x x grrrr ..

good morning hun x Sorry to hear you are upset about the photos. I can totally relate to that, even though i've lost some weight, i don't like what i see in photos and still avoid the mirrors!

I'm not on fb or anything like that, but it would be a nightmare if pics of me ended up there for all to see. Can you ask the 'poster' again to take off any with you in them and explain why?
On the other hand, people who see them will either be strangers who don't know you, or people who do know you and love you no matter how you look in photos..but i truly know how you feel, people who love having their pic taken and enjoy posting endless pics of themselves on fb just won't understand how upsetting it is, but try to appeal to his better nature as ask him to delete the ones that you are unhappy about!

by the way in your wee pic on here, you look lovely and definately not massive in any shape or form x

Good luck and if the idea fails, then just think there will soon be loads of other phots on there and yours will get 'lost' among them!

Day 4 :
Positives for today :
1 : After feeling like crying last night re; Photogate I feel a bit better today as this diary is very theraupetic Thank you RR as always xxxx
2 : Am aching from the gym last night which is good as I feel back on track
3 : Am going to the gym again tonight and am ready mentally for another 100% day

Yes I do feel a bit better todayxx Its so nice knowing that my lovely minimims friends relate to my experiences I ve never before been so open, am normally quite introverted and deep not forthcoming with my real feelings prefering in the past to be the happy jolly fat girl well no longer..
This journey is about my emotions too I realised and it was very theraupetic to put my true feelings on here..
Tried to upload a photo but dont think its happened
Will update later xx

Look forward to hearing how your getting on, Have you got your own diary xx

Hello again!! :-)

Fianlly starting to get to grips with the site a little...and have started my own diary yippeeee :-)

Here is a link to it:
http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-...fat-diary.html (If at first you don't succeed >> MY BIG FAT DIARY)

Hope you enjoy reading it!! Let me know how you're getting on xx

Hello Katierose,
I am also new to this website. I know exactly how something going wrong in your life can affect eating habits, I lost my father in Jan 2010 and since then watching my weight was the last thing on my mind. I am just getting back on track now.

This week I joined Slimming World and decided that I really need to sort myself out. I have been reading some of the posts here and the people here seem wonderful. Chin up, I know we can do this.

So another day done went to the gym again so I just know I will be aching tomorrow as was put through my paces in a PT session ... But getting me back on track so money well worth spending .. :-)
So am going to bed soon it's snowing here. So getting to work will be fun tomorrow .
Night ladies x x x keep warm x

Hey sweetie, I'm back to taunt you as if I would lol
Photogate, I totally agree with RR firstly your so called friend had no right to put them on FB but now that he/she has the only people that will see them are complete strangers, who actually don't matter or people that are friends and loved ones, who know and love you for who you are anyway.
If that is you in that little pic , I don't mean your avatar because you do look absolutely gorgeous....I mean the little pic with the 2 guys, I hope I look half as fab as you look when I get down to your weight...you look stunning hun, yes let's not beat around the bush here you do have a little bit of a tummy but hun that will be gone very soon, but it doesn't detract at all from how lovely you look...I showed your pic to my hubby, sorry had to he will always give an honest opinion and I have always considered him to be a fatist (anti-fat), but he said you are stunning too, so be told lady, don't you be so hard on yourself.
Take care my lovely and I'll pop back tomorrow (later today in fact lol)
Night Night xxxxx

Good morning lovey As usual i agree with you, i too am introverted, but soley because of my size and confidence issues..i become 'alive' on here becuase i know everyone understands how i feel about myself and i can be truly honest, especially my feelings and fears..and dreams!

What a lovely pic hun, it has captured such a happy fun moment, and can i say that i am roughly 7lbs heavier than you, but you look a whole lot slimmer than me. I carry all my excess in the middle, a true apple shape..think humpty dumpty on slim legs! ..anyway, you have no need to fear your pics on fb or anywhere, you are a pretty girl. no need to hide away from anybody! p.s. I love black and white pics!

Hope the snow isn't too bad..must thank england and wales for keeping it all this year! hee hee..we are still snow free????

have a great friday, keep posting all your emotions..and allow me to relate to them all!!!

Day 5 : hello to my lovely friends x x
Positives for today :
1: aching from the gym it's a positive as I feel back in track
2: I got to work in the snow !! I hate driving in it so am pleased I did it
3: I think I can get through the weekend and hope to have a gd weigh in on Monday..
