Thanks Theresa i really dont find baking bothers me, it actually helps with any cravings i do have being able to smell the lovely food i know that sounds a bit weird lol. Also get a nice satisfaction inside when people say how nice they are and are really appreciative of my work.
Well WI was this morning and I know I should be thrilled but after 2 weeks i lost 4lbs, really felt like i should have lost 6 but as ive always said i'm never satisfied with the numbers I see but it shant deter me. Had a chat with CWC about how my weight loss has slowed significantly since Jan even though ive been bang on track but i have noticed a lot of stomach problems with bloating and constipation and actually having pain from bloat too and we've come to the conclusion the ONLY change i've made is having a bar a day. I do remember when i first started I had stomach problems with the bars but have ignored it this time round because the Lemon ones are utterly delicious so we've agreed I will try a few weeks without the bars (EEEK) to see how I get on and ive decided to revert back to having treat night on weigh day because it worked for me before and i should hopefully feel less despondant.
So lets see what the next 8 days bring, to get my 100lbs by birthday I need 6lbs over the next 2 WI which is certainly achievable if my body plays ball. Inches are still moving down infact i'll do a breakdown of before and now:
Waist: before 55inches, Now 40 inches = -15inches that's over 1 foot!!!!
Hips: Before 60.5 inches Now 49inches = -11.5inches almost 1 foot
Chest: Before 55.5inches Now 44inches = -11.5 inches
Arm: Before 17.25inches Now 14 inches = -3.25 inches total off both arms -6.5inches
Thigh: Before 32.5inches Now 26.5 inches = -6inches total off both thighs -12 inches
SO TOTAL INCH LOSS SO FAR = 56.5 inches which is almost 5 whole FEET OF FAT!!!!!!!
Well ladies thankyou for all your support as always it's wonderful. Having to stop CD for a lil while though, turns out i might have gall bladder probs afterall, been in absolute agony today and bloated so much that my size 18 work trousers that 3days ago were huge are skin tight today. Got all the symptoms of an inflamed gall bladder so just gotta wait and c what doc wants to do but gotta go back to healthy eating.
Im gutted for a few reasons, a i wont reach 100lbs by birthday but i realise health is more important.
b, weight loss will obv slow down a lot
c, i'm really going to miss my cambridge counsellor ive seen her almost on a weekly basis for a whole yr i mean im sure we'll stay in touch but it wont be the same
Thanks ladies, been to see doc today and my gall bladder is very enlarged and that's pushing on the bottom of my oesophagus causing reflux and my stomach is very distended so he told me gotta stick with healthy eating no shakes and im ok with that ive only 48lbs to go to goal and if i cant do that on healthy eating then it doesnt bode well with plans of maintaining. He was very good, gave me literally an open book of pain relief said i can have anything ranging from paracetamol up to gabapentin and amitryptiline but nothing that contains anti inflammatory so ive opted for lesser then ive got scope to increase if necessary and having co-codamol 8/500 every 4 hours then if pain is still horrid in a few weeks time he wants me to have an ultrasound to see if it needs removing but hes hoping that managing the pain eating healthily and having omeprazole for the reflux will be enough so we will just have to wait and see
