Hi everyone
Well, I'm back from Doncaster having dropped Sophie's little buddy back home.
I saw a few friends who ALL said I looked incredibly different which gave me a bit of a boost after my disappointment of last Thurs.
The only negative thing that happened was a comment made by (oddly enough) my very overweight friend. Several years ago, we both started Rosemary Conley and I weighed 3lb more than her. She gave up quite quickly and now, years later, she has gained quite a bit and weighs probably somewhere between 21 and 22st whereas I'm now 13st 10lb. She said I was doing well but then she spoiled it by reaching over, 'pinching' the spare skin on my upper arm and saying 'You're going to need some surgery on that though - you've got bat wings'. I was quite gutted and pretty speechless.
I've put it down to her feeling depressed about her weight as she's now pretty much debilitated and needs a wheelchair and she's seeing me (who used to weight more than her) a lot thinner and with a spring in my step. Still hurt my feelings though.
Kam - I know the temptation was great but I wish you hadn't stepped on the scales. I'm sure when you get on Diva's scales, the result will be different and if it's still a bit disppointing, you'll have the benefit of a counsellor there to take the sting out and keep your head in the right place. I've got my fingers crossed for a decent loss ... you've been a trooper this week and deserve the reward of a good result.
Anja - The after effects of a traumatic experience can be unexpected as you've discovered. Sending you a big hug and hope everything sorts itself out soon xx
Hi to all the other wemitts: another new week ahead so lets all make the most of it and get our positive hats on!!
