Described as "this tall and this WIDE..." New me starts now!

Thank you mspiggy :eek: oh an dont worry I will happily give you a shake when a small increase happens!! ;)

Sorry I was so grumpy! just worked real hard this week, swimming, wii fit, zumba blah blah blah!!

I am so dissapointed in myself, you are so probably right maybe TOTM - never know when its coming with me implant!!

Ok I will now wait for RRose's good old shake to get me back thinking correctly now x :479:

So I have been thinking, tommorow is another day! start again, be super de duper good, have my hypno and I will damn well lose my 3lb next week to get to my 2 stone loss hell might even manage a 7lb loss to take me below 19 stone!!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
Oh my, OH just popped to the supermarket, on his way out he asked "do you want anything love?" I responded with "yes, chocolate, merangue, cake, pies, pastys anything that is bad for me":cry:

Obviously I didnt mean it but was half expecting him to bring me back a twirl!

He has just returned with the biggest bunch of flowers and a great big hug saying "I love you and you are doing so well!"

im happy now! :love:
 
oh I know trnaquility, stupid outburst I was just so upset!! Sorry x

lol it happens to us all.
My tip of the day: use a tape measure as well.
I once went 6 weeks of STS on the scale but went down a dress size.
The body and scales work by different rules.
 
Good morning my friend :)

*opens door, and gestures towards the comfiest sofa*...:)
"sit down hun, relax..here have a nice cuppa, its just brewed..and as it is wednesday, and a big day for you...have a wee tea biscuit too!!!! :D"

..and prepare yourself for another of my wee pep talks :)

Firstly, everyone is absolutely right, as you know! I felt the exact same last monday, lots of sighing, frustration, confusion, even crying :cry:because the scales didn't move. I even had the
"maybe, this is as far as my weight loss will go, and I'm meant to weigh over 17 stone FOREVER!!!!..ooh, what if i truly don't lose another ounce..ever!!!! thought"
Panic, panic , panic, tears, depressed etc etc, i remained like that the whole day, felt a failure, and yes, like you thought,
"what's the point?????" I had done nothing different, i ate the same, i exercised the same, so WHY had i lost nothing at all????????

Went to bed that night, feeling so low...BUT woke up in the morning feeling determined that the next scales result would be different.
I used all that frustration and anger to motivate rather than depress me, and remembered just how good I feel, even when I've lost a lb.

Everyone on my thread helped and supported me with lovely encouraging messages, and I realised that they were telling me, everything I tell others, when things get rocky!

I just know you will have woke up to this brand new day, feeling better and optimistic about everything. Massive pat on the back to your lovely, supportive hubby..WELL DONE MR PEPSHOUSE :) he did exactly the right thing, in your hour of need, he supported and loved you...and lavished you with flowers! GOOD MAN!

*here, have another cuppa....I'm nearly finished my wee talk!!!!* :)

Now, the reasons, why you feel emotional, angry and had a teeny, weeny gain? What time of day do you weigh in? Is it the same time every week?

I suspect evening weigh ins will be slighty heavier, as you've been eating throughout the day..and its still to be 'processed' through your body.
Also, i suspect totm in your case. You sound like me and get hormonal prior to totm. You were upset at the weekend, and worried, and rightly so..then you felt more relaxed a few hours later. I so relate to those feelings :)

At my nurse's appt yesterday, i mentioned how i felt last week with a sts, and emotionally what affect it had on me. She explained about weight gain or a sts at totm. The uterus and breasts are full and therefore weight does flunctuate prior, during and after totm..from ounces to lbs!!!!

The body craves sugar at that time too, so many reach for chocolate and biscuits to ease the craving, and the scales reflect that too.

Your implant will be the reason, i think, for emotional or angry moods at various times. I am not suggesting you get it removed or anything!!!!!...I just think that it may well explain your emotions etc...and as totm can be 'anytime' it also explains that teeny wee gain, when you've been so good and focused. So any future gain or sts will become more acceptable and understanding for you..and its NOT the standard result you will have every time..always remember that!

Final word, *as I help you on with your coat..which I notice is becoming too big for you* :)

We have GOT to experience the 'not so good' results..to appreciate the mind blowing wonderful results!!!! :D

My "Weigh To Go" office, slimming club and support centre is open 24 hours..no appointment needed hun, just pop in!!!!! hee hee :D

(crikey :eek:..i think this weight loss malarkey is making me lose my marbles..not just my weight!!!! :rolleyes: )

Hope all goes well with hynotherapy later, you must be so excited, can't wait to hear all about it :) :) :) :)

6.30 tonight! It's just the initial appt where we look at cbt and go through the consultation with the surgeon! I think the hb gets fitted in week 2 or 3!!
 
hey hunni, first of all good luck for this evening, i hope it goes well for you!! xxx
Sorry about the half pound hun, but like othershave said its down to many factors, totm is the culprit for many peoples gains, its not fair really is it? but never mind, you might have even lost inches instead.
Glad you are feeling better today though anyway.

Good day yesterday! Got my degree results for the last 3 modules! Well pleased passed with flying colours!!

I'm amazed at this point in my life I have decided to do a degree, 3 smallish children full time job, house to look after and oh to please!! However I am loving it, tine consuming but ever so enlightening and a right confidence builder (if you get the grades)!!

Have a great day everyone!! X
