Any May starters out there?

[slendablenda]

I know what you mean.
When I was on holiday with my Mum (who is 87) a woman in the lift said to us
"you look like twins". My Mum was thrilled............................!!!
:8855::cry::cry::cry:

OMG im nearly wetting myself laughing. Bet you werent best pleased. You look amazin tho - just have a very good looking and young mum

 

[Hairyfish]

Hi Flex. (Mr - Almost overweight ) Its a miracle. You, Daz and me are all on together. That must be a first.

 

[Dazzle]

it is sad that they feel they cant say anything. but my synical side thinks that maybe some of these people are plain evil and just dont want to wish us good luck. im in a funny mood tonight, lots on my mind, positive and negative and they are all whirling around in my head like a tornado and making me feel confused. ive become very synical lately.

 

[Iwillgetthere]

Funny Daz i have become more aware of people and what they are doing and more importanly how much they are eating. I have to stop myself saying out loud - my god are you eating again. How terrible is that:8855:

 

[Dazzle]

lol i see it too and think my gosh how embarrassing if someone thought the same of me once too. i just pray that i can manage it after iv reached my target. hey flexi u ok?

 

[Iwillgetthere]

I think it is always going to be something we have to keep working at.

When i was 20 I was admitted into hospital with anorexia. I know its a very long time ago but I believe I will always have to work at that too. I think once that is there it could and would be so easy to slip back into my old ways. I have also suffered from bulimia but am sooooooo determined not to go back down that road again. Since starting LL it is the first time I have felt in control for about 20 years

 

[Dazzle]

wow you've been through the wars hun. but ur stronger for it, i can feel it, and this time ur more mature and have your own children to think about too. you will be fine hun. turn to ur family for support if u find urself struggling they r the ones who ultimately care the most and u wouldnt want to let them down would you?
and u can call and text me anytime too. you are a very strong and determined individual i know it!

 

[Iwillgetthere]

Thanx huni. Cant believe i have just shared that. Was always too ashamed to tell anyone for fear of them thinking how could you ever have been anorexic sure look at the size of you. Feels good to get it off my chest. Yea I am going to do this. I have done everything the right way and honestly do feel in control. Got a feeling we are going to be hearing quite a bit from each other

 

[Dazzle]

yayayay look forward to it hun. ill text u during the crazy asian melodramatic, skitzofrenic(dont no how to spell that) pulava of a wedding. and by the way i am not exagerating. it will get crazy. i might even looose weight! i did at a wedding i went to a couple years ago.

 

[Iwillgetthere]

Course your gonna loose weight at the wedding luv - cos you aint going to be eating :8855:

Look forward to your txts.

 

[Dazzle]

lol, fingers crossed.

Congrats on your losses so far Dazzle & IWGT - I always keep a beady eye on the May starts as I'm only on my 2nd week and like to see how things are down the road as it were! Its great that you all support and encourage each other!

I'm sure your losses show and you look fabulous - the skinny minnies that haven't congratulated you are probably just jealous and scared you will be thinner than them at the end of your journey!

 

[Hairyfish]

yeah I am cool cheers guys.

Feeling tired just now, but that is because I am under a bit of pressure at work coupled with early rises/late ends and having little sugar intake to boost me through.

So far no compliments other than in group and OH. Dont know if it is noticable to folk at work or as they dont know and I keep myself to myself and they are getting to know I do not like to be fussed over (compliments=fuss in my book).

Yup, I will keep this up with you guys. It would kill me to quit and come back on here and see how much you guys had shifted in the next month.

 

[Hairyfish]

Daz if its like asian weddings I have been to itll be huge with 400-500 people and dancing manically at early hours of the day.

Again I am judging the weddings of all people from the asian subcontinent by a couple I have been to (sorry for that). But the masses of food brought over to you every half hour or so for half a day.....i dont know how you could resist. BUT YOU WILL.

 

[Iwillgetthere]

Thanks for the kind words AJB - you will do it too. After the first few weeks the times just passing by sooooooo quickly and before you know it the weight will be dropping off and you will be at the end of foundation.

Flex you need to take things a bit easier hun.

I think you need to go out and buy some smaller clothes and I bet everyone would notice then

Im high string I am afraid...what can i say.

As for clothes, well firstly I have always hated shopping for clothes, secondly I have set myself a "not til I am done attitude". I can not really afford to buy clothes atm and then in a few months time. My OH just lost her Job, and I earn "too much" (apparently) for her to get any benefits.

 

[Iwillgetthere]

Thanks BL really appreciate your kind words. Have always kept it hidden like it was my dirty secret and if nobody knew then it never really happened. Then i realised a few nights ago that that part of my life isnt welcome anymore and I really am going to work so hard on it never taking over again, Thanks luv.

Flex really sorry to hear your OH lost her job. Hopefully she will get something soon. Fingers crossed
