Well I can't quite believe it but I have officially finished foundation! I had my last weigh in last night and will be joining a development class.
My weight loss in the end was 41 pounds and a bit, so only just short of the 3 stone, but I'm not going to fight over that. Its a huge amount of weight to have lost in a hundred days.
How do I feel? well I'm not entirely sure. Theres some other stuff going on at the moment thats making me not altogether happy so its bound to be having an effect.
To begin with I was quite down because I know I will need another 40-60 days to get to my goal, and psychologically I think I had only prepared myself for 100 days. However I got over that by reminding myself how quickly the hundred days have passed, because they really have flown by!
I'm one of the many who despite having no clothes left that aren't falling off me, still sees a fat woman in the mirror.
Sometimes I manage to be positive and sometimes not, but for some reason I thought today would feel like a positive day and for some reason it doesn't particularly.
I think its more to do with other stuff, my husband usually works away a month / home a month and we know he is likely to be off again within the next week. I have discovered during abstenance that the first few days he is away is a dangerous time for me as I find it hard. I have my little girl who is almost 2, I work 30 hours a week, have a big house to look after and its darned hard work on your own! I take my hat off to any single mothers out there.
We also had a big falling out at new year, which we have agreed to forget about and start again rather than falling out for days, but I think I am still feeling a bit down about that. On the whole we do get on pretty well its just that when we do fall out its usually quite spectacular!
I was hoping to be done by our 10th wedding anniversary and I may or may not be now depending on how quickly it goes. Our anniversary is 1st of march and my losses are a little slow. However I don't even know if my husband will be here or if it will fall during a trip away for him, in which case we celebrate late anyway. I may just suggest to him we put off the celebration even if he is here, as I have had it fixed in my mind to really have made the best of myself by then. I will be needing a whole new wardrobe and have decided to have a haircut too.
I am planning to start and spend 15-30 mins every other day working with the strap to help my bingo wings and the ball to help my tummy so that should help too!
I am looking forward to the end and I know its only a couple of months give or take a few weeks. I am hoping the extra stone and 3/4 I have left will make all the difference to how I look and feel. I have an arrangement with a friend to take me shopping as I admire the way she dresses, and I have about £500 to spend on clothes so that will be great! (its kind of my christmas and birthday all together) I have discussed with some honest friends about haircuts too and I have chosen my 'new do' and I want a bit of red through it too, so I am looking forward to that as well.
I think I'm just in limbo just now, I've achieved a lot, but I'm not there yet. I look better but not as good as I will, I have hardly any clothes and refuse to spend money as I know it won't be too long. (had a look around some 2nd hand shops yesterday but they didn't have anything I liked!) so I can't reward myself with clothes yet. I want to wait for the haircut too as I want to kind of have a 'big makeover moment' what with the new clothes at the time too.
I want my husband to walk in the door and think I'm someone else just for a moment!
hey ho, I'm darned ungrateful aren't I? You'd think 3 stone would be enough to motivate me!
lol.
OK ladies cheer me up please!!!!
