So, I got through this week! Phew, went into work today and i was really nervous but....one of managers was like 'you look SO well.....have you lost weight?' and i was like 'yes, yes I have' (no better feeling) and then I found out they want me to work tomorrow and sunday (don't know how relieved i am to start and get a routine) and seemed really glad to see me. I know that I might get miserable there, but it's better than being miserable sitting staring at the wall at home. I am just going to work hard!!! (exercise up and down those stairs and up and down to screens...even on retail you are on your feet all day!!) popped in and watched Taken while I was there - very good!! Feeling so much better.
As microwave meals go, I have found the best cottage pie...it's the sainsburys own for £1. it's 4 1/2 points and tastes much better than the WW one! So nice. Had that today. It's 6.00pm and I have 10 points left (wasn't planning for cinema trip and in a panic bought a flump and freddo lol...it's nice knowing that even in situations like that there is something that i can have!) so going to have a custard doughnut they are really the best. 3 points.
Gym was great!!! sweated like a pig lol. I even did some yoga in the evening ...i got the 'yoga for dummies' dvd. certainly was made for me...fell over like 30 times trying to do the tree one. i don't do balance. but going to keep at it!! holding those poses..sweat pouring off...i felt like i had just got off treadmill!!
Now that I am 'busy'...or busier..can plan my gym trips and get into a routine. CAN'T WAIT!!

Another reason not to weigh yourself before you go to bed -
(especially if you live in a studio flat)
-got woken up by strange noise outside (half asleep)...decided to get up and see what was going on and went over to kitchen area and stubbed my toes very hard on the scales I had left sitting out! Half ripped off nail and well...OUCH! So yeah, won't be getting the scales out in the evening again ! LOL!
AHHH!

Sometimes food is just an enemy. I hate worrying about it every day. Just haven't been busy today and my whole day has revolved around food and it's just made me unhappy. I just feel really fat and scared that i'm putting weight back on. I got till Sat to turn it around.
I totally understand that hun, i hate worrying about it too. Look how well you have done though, you are losing it, not gaining it! I struggle when i have a day where i am not really doing much as i just eat and eat and eat but you can do it! You will have a good result Sat, i'm sure of it xxx

Do you need a hobby? Something to keep your mind and hands busy and stop you eating? I make cards - I've made about 40 different Christmas cards in the last couple of weeks and I take them to work and sell them for charity. It uses a different part of my brain than my day job so I find it relaxing and it's hard to manhandle a chocolate chip cookie when you're covered in spray mount.

Lol! I bet! I'm sorry, I haven't been on here last few days. But thank you for your message! Well, I have just got my hours for the weekend and am working 12-10.30 both days, so won't have much time to sit down and eat or worry! and then I have uni! Once things pick up I will be fine. Just being constantly alone is not good, especially not when you've had lots of problems with yourself in the past! I'm glad you have a hobby to stop you snacking, and I bet the cards are excellent!

Hey hun, just popping by to see how you are? Hope you're feeling a bit better you're doing so well and your diary always makes me chuckle and cheers me up, so if there's anything i can do...within reason lol xxx
Hey! Thank you. Sorry I haven't been on here recently. I'm really glad that my diary makes you chuckle
I'm sorry if it hasn't been very uplifting recently. Things just haven't been very exciting. I don't think I've lost any weight. I have been so up and down emotionally and it's a battle keeping positive. I hope that as things fall into place I will think of witty uplifting things to write in here! Thank you Hope you are ok?
