Hi everyone,
Thanks for your kind words... feeling a bit better today, we had just a day of going over everything and by about 5pm we were both shattered! My OH was made redundant at end of feb, (second redundancy in a year!), we'd already had a lot of bad things happen since November time, so this was the icing on the cake! And since feb things haven't got any better. But we sat down yesterday and just went through so many different scenarios, and different things we can do. It's extra tough because we don't have my salary to rely on anymore, I worked for years in a surgery and quit to do a full time degree, something I'd wanted to do for years, I waited until we were secure enough and then this happened. Things are just a bit stressful right now, the positive thing is we have just enough savings in the bank to see us through for a while, and we completely paid off our holiday and have the spending money already set aside, so at least we can still look forward to that!
Diet wise, I've been a bit bad last night, we were feeling *****, so ordered a Chinese! Bad I know, but I need to be honest with you all, I didn't manage to eat much of it, and didn't have any chips, I ordered a char sui pork dish with rice, carbs I know so I think the citric acid is now the least of my worries! haha But I am 100% back on it today, not seeing it as starting again, and I am still aiming for at least a 5lb loss this week to take me to my first stone! Good luck today everyone, just about to have my first pack and just had a pint of water. x
