Right hellooo firstly to everyone, :wavey: and congrats on your weight loss thios week. Its been a few days since i last came on here, i hope that everyone has had a better week than me, and this is why....
I had my week 6 WI last friday (had to run there coz i was late for a nurse appointment after!)
At the branch i go to there was a different chemist there so i had to state who i am/what i want etc which was fine.
I lost 1lb (did NOT cheat) and to be honest although its not a great loss, i know at least its going in the right direction!!!
So i was sad but happy if u know what i mean
BUT when the chemist stated my loss, the WAY in which she said it made me LIVID!!!
"ohhh dear, you have ONLY lost 1lb this week and that isnt very good on this diet is it? Do you know how much water you have to drink? You look like you are sweating. Have you had problems with bowl movements. You must have done something wrong." In a condesending way.
Nice of her eh!!! I felt soo demorralised by the way in which she said this The lady that i usually see is soo possitive and supportive especially two weeks ago when i had a loss of 2lbs atback:
I politely informed her that:
1) I did NOT cheat.
2) A 1lb loss although not great is STILL a loss.
3) Surely i do understand how much water i need to drink. I drink 5litres a day and that excludes shakes and includes my hot drinks.
4) I was sweating (not alot) because i had just RAN there to make it in time!
4) If i had trouble with my bowl movements i would have stated this before hand and asked for senekot etc.
To all of this she replied while rolling her eyes and shrugging: "Drink more water."
erm.... right well that didnt help me at all :cry: I was soo upset for the rest of that day and i almost packed it all in :17729:
Anyway, i did not eat which was very :censored: hard to do! And i have since calmed down, well after a few days and ALOt of sparkling water haha!
I wonder if she will be there this week friday hmmm.....???
*sigh* :needhug:
