Gerry's Diary - 60lbs off, 20% achieved!
- Thread starter G-Man
- Start date
Shock! Horror! 
I STS this week and tbh I'm not a bit surprised! Still no exercise been done and I think last weeks trip to Dublin put me back some what, with the trip to TGI Friday's, the several Magner's Pear cider consumed, the cooked breakfast on the Saturday morning and the delightful lunch in the afternoon, coupled by a McD's on the way home (well it is a 2 hour journey after a hard days work! )
But... so many times have I seen people on here going down the doom and gloom route after a sts or a small gain. Not me! What's the point, I say? The missus told me "not to be disheartened", when I reported my sts this morning and I informed her that "It would take more than that to unrail this steam train", she looked at me strangely and walked off
I am still as motivated as ever and striving to get this next stone off as soon as is possible, just to prove to myself that I haven't plateau'd and that I am still a fat burning machine!! I have so much planned for my future that I simply couldn't allow a little blip like this to get in the way of me transforming into "the new me!"
I am going to sit down today and do my tax return and then work out a food and exercise plan for the week, and most importantly stick to it vigourously. I normally plan my food at least a day in advance, but I'm going for the whole week this time and will go today and buy in enough provisions to see the plan through with the exception of fresh vegetatbles and fresh bread.
I was talking to my Uncle (from Liverpool) yesterday and the last time he saw me I was just about to start my lifestyle change and was at my biggest size. I told him that I had lost almost 3 stone and he just couldn't believe it. I won't include the swear words he used but in his own way he was praising me and was astonished that I had lost that much in such a short time. He then said he would be over here for his birthday in April and would feed me full of Guiness and put a couple of stone on me again Deep down he know's there's not a chance in hell that I would let that happen. So now I have a new mini goal, to get as much weight off before the 19th April, so when I walk into the bar with several people there that haven't seen me since the start, I can smile at the look on their faces! One uncle that will be there commented to me about how "fat" I was getting and I just simply said "I can always change that, you'll always be ugly!" Harsh I know but this is a guy who carries a few extra stone himself, so it will give me extra pleasure just to stand beside him all day! I know, I know.... petty isn't it?
So although it's sts for me this week I am still chuffed with my 7lbs off throughout January and will not let it get in the way of my plans.
As always..... onwards and downwards!
Keep on losing - Gerry

Hee hee...your uncle would have defo seen the difference and i can imagine that was an amazing feeling.
STS is alot better than putting on and it sounds like you have a good week in terms of treats so all is not lost.

Hi guys
Sorry I haven't been posting over the past few days but I am facing some very serious family challenges with my daughter which could have extremely terrifying circumstances so I have to concentrate all my efforts on that for now. I'm struggling to be my cheery self so rather than show you all that side of me and bring you all down with me I'm choosing to abstain from posting on my diary for now. I am still managing to stick to my points in spite of all the strife I am going through and will be back when I can perhaps see some light at the end of this very dark tunnel.
Thanks for understanding
Gerry

Hi all, firstly... thanks to all of you for your kind messages and for the huge support you have shown me privately (you know who you are!) I am slowly working through my challenges in my private life and will get there, I promise!
3lbs off this week though. I am delighted with that, bringing January to a 10lbs loss month for me which is incredible, considering what I have ate in Dublin etc. So that certainly put a smile on my face
