Abi's weightloss diary - post jaw surgery

[elle2585]

Abz, don't worry love!!! ive noticed a pattern where you always seem to retain a lot of water when you're totm... dr elle talking now lol. so just hold on, keep going. if you've lost the weight, which im sure you have, then it'll show on the scales eventually. DON'T WORRY! xxx

 

[abz]

hey guys. thanks i didn't give in to the evil carb monster. i had a bar and watched buffy in a grump. feeling a bit better. what's better than watching incredibly cheesy teen tv i feel 14 again, hee. plus, lusting after david boreanaz never did anyone any harm

now i just have to go and get the sodding cat in... and she isn't playing fair.

catch you all tomorrow. hopefully i'll whine a little less...

Abz, what a crappy day for you, and you didn't give in. You got some guts going on there. Once you come on the weight will go. But it must be so frustrating whilst its there. Hope the cat came in, can't get my old girl to go out! Sleep well, hope things are brighter in the morning xx

Work sounds like it's stressing you out, but with the credit crunch, I believe that employers think that they can treat you anyway as they know we NEED them more than ever.

As for the weight gain, dont despair too much as if totm is looming then we all know what happens!!!! Dont give into the pizza (if you have not already had it) and next WI will be great!!!

Chin up lady, as you keep loads of us on here going with your ever entertaining wit!!!

 

[night-owl]

Don't you dare eat pizza! Don't kid yourself that you could magcially make it up before your CDC gets back. Come on, Abz, take some of your own advice, you KNOW this is just cylical, that it is not a real gain so don't let it get to you. You can only do 100%, nothing more. So chin up, and head down, IYKWIM! You'll be in the 13's by the time your CDC gets back!

[abz]

good morning guys. thank you so much. i didn't give in to pizza. or anything else for that matter, ha. and off i went to bed. and this morning i have been in bed reading my book, wicked, until now as i'm working a late shift tonight so don't have to be at work until one

just waiting for my coffee to do it's thing in the cafetiere before i indulge before i get my 'oh my god i haven't had any caffeine' headache... something tells me i may have replaced food addiction with caffeine addiction, but i usually have about three cups a day unless i'm having a really bad day, ha. so it doesn't go too badly.

i totally forgot my aunty was coming to visit this sunday. she just sent me an email checking it was ok and i had no clue they were coming, ha. oops. am very glad they are mind. i've just been concentrating on getting my christmas shifts sorted i kind of forgot i had plans in between now and then too. so they are coming to see the christmas market and it will be lovely to see them. we are going to their's for a family christmas (since i'm working christmas day) on the 21st and i will be coming off cambridge then. all well and good. i now just have to convince the guys at work that going out for dinner for our christmas do is either a terrible idea or that we have to do it on around the 20th, so that if i do come off cd for it it will be in the same ruddy week. i don't want to break it before christmas week really. and i can't not go to our christmas do. there's only five of us in the team... so we'll see what they decide. hopefully they will decide on drinks and i can stick to water or i'll arrange it for practically christmas day as they are all crap at organising things anyway!!

[elle2585]

Nooooooooo! You're working on Christmas Day?!! How unfortunate! Lol can't you tell them to stick theyre job (..."for a day, but can i come back pleeease? thaaanks") lol..

Well done on not giving in to temptation Abz - you know it's only fluid retention and will show soon enough.....just think of all the wise words you've told us, and repeat them to yourself. You can't BUT lose weight so keep the faith! x

 

[abz]

ha. i did minz.. i sat there telling myself to practice what i preach. otherwise i'd be a big (fat?) hypocrite now wouldn't i? ha. anyhoo. it worked...

 

[abz]

i have realised i have totally neglected this today and have just moved through my active subscriptions, ha.

so this morning i woke up with a bang when i smacked my head really hard on the radiator. suddenly realised that i had forgotten to do something at work last night and had to email the people that were in this morning. ha. says something about how my brain works though doesn't it?? hee.

i met up with my best mate. she's preggers and potty training her first daughter at the moment. i learnt the frustration of asking a two-year-old if she needed a wee and getting a resounding 'no' only to have her pee on the carpet about five seconds later.... ha. the patience of a saint must be required. so the morning was spent 'waiting for a poo' which never happened and then she had to go off to the doctors, taking four extra sets of trousers and knickers for the wee child, hee. part of parenthood i hadn't witnessed yet. so glad she's done all this first so i have somebody to ask silly questions when i have one

then i have been at work since 1. am here for another three hours. *sigh*. OH, bless him, went to morrisons and got me some roast rotisserie chicken so i've had a wee bit of that but it's actually made me feel rather icky but i thought i might struggle on only my packs in such a long day, only to realise (just now) that i've only had one so far. gah. so am going to have a tetra in a moment.

i have also decided that i MUST be constipated. (tmi, sorry) because i haven't 'been' for a considerable amount of time. even accounting for how little we eat. so the jolly old senakot has been brought out. oh joy... hopefully i will feel less bloated. and totm hasn't turned up. think i'm destined to be bloated forever. and no. i'm not preggers

so i am sitting here, listening to an old dawson's creek soundtrack (hee, bit depressing actually. no wonder i was a depressed teenager, gees. i was the dawson's creek generation... and then stopped watching it half way through...)

am pootling through my programming, working on a spreadsheet and waiting for the phone to ring with somebody having done something more than a little bit silly... ha.

[Minz]

There lies your gain....senakot will sort you out (no pun intended) in no time lol

 

[abz]

i really hope so!! although i don't feel uncomfortable...

 

[Minz]

That's a good thing - you don't want that feeling (I've had it and it's not pleasant). I'm sure the scales will move downwards soon.

Boreanaz is HOT!! He's the main reason why I watch Bones religiously

 

[abz]

actually i bought a book by Kathy Reichs recently called Devil Bones, am going to read it today i finished my Michael Connelly book yesterday (The Brass Verdict) and it was great too

 

[abz]

I find it hilarious that you have the kathy reichs series, and then you have bones, based on the books by kathy reichs, and now you have the bones books, based on the hit tv series. so that's books based on a tv series based on books :S

abz xx

 

[izmirka]

actually it's just the tv series based on the books it's just that kathy reichs keeps on writing them the stories in the books are a lot different from the ones on the show at least from what i read on the book cover

 

[abz]

no, really. i have seen books based on the tv series now!! i'm not making this up!! the series is very different from the books. i have most of them. the characters are a bit different. the names of people are different. the books based on the series have the characters from the series in. it's madness!!
