Scared and crying? Not anymore, here is the new me! I AM BACK!!!!

[Elie]

Hi Anna!

I know, 1lb to go and it is another stone!!!! I would never have thought it possible the day I posted my 1st message on minimins

I like it when people notice it, but when these people are strangers, it makes me feel uneasy. I love it when my family say this though .

I have not been able to buy any new clothes yet because I am still between 22 and 20, despite almost 2 stones lost . I keep my mesurement every 2 weeks and my bum and thighs have barely slimmed down, whereas my upper half and even my waiste are much thinner . As a waiste, I am almost size 18, but my bottom is in the way :giggle:. I need to tone it :sigh:

I bought a slendertone belt today, to try to tone my belly. I hate doing sit ups, so I chose the easy solution. My mum's physiotherapist said it was a very efficient belt and even uses it on his patients, so we will see

I remember you saying that the diet was a bit boring after a while, and I understand why now. I am a bit impatient and wish I could see a change every week, so I try to forget about the diet .

Nobody will recognise me when I go to see my family in April . That will be my little vain moment

Hi!

Well, I guess I am alone again... But only 5 nights to go and then I will be with him again Sometimes I am so glad that time passes by so quickly, as in September we will start living together, and I won't have to go back to an empty flat

Diet wise, I have a new stock of CD bars. They are my treat in the evening, and I particularly like the peanuts ones :drool:

I saw my CDC today, and in total I have lost 3" of my waist, in 3 weeks SSing But my bum is still as big . My gran always says I am made to have children with hips like mine Of course, she doesn't mean to be hurtful, it is a compliment for people her age . And actually, I am glad, because it means I will still have lovely curves even when I am slim. And TBH, my BF likes curvy women, so we are all winers

I have 3 very difficult days ahead of me. And it doesn't help that the relations between my manager and some of my colleagues are very "tense" . But hey, I am not married to this school, so at least I know I can leave if I am really unhappy

I hope you're all having a very nice weekend.

Grats on the 3" off your waist Elie. I found when I started dieting it came off my upper body first too. It is like my body is holding onto the bum fat for dear life. On the plus side though fat around the waist is much more unhealthy than fat around the hips....

 

[Elie]

Hi everybody!

Thank you for your message Anna. You are a faithful reader . I am definitely losing very quickly a lot off my top half. Even my breasts are becoming smaller . I knw someone who won't be very ahppy :giggle: . I am joking, I am very happy I am losing fat and getting slimmer. I can't wait for my bum and thighs to do the same I am a size 18 top now, which is brilliant but I find myself a bit disproportionate at the time . At least I am losing the "dangerous fat", the one around my vital parts .

Work was OK today, but I still don't like how some people are despising each other. I always feel caught in the middle. I am a very quiet girl and I like to get on with everybody, so you can imagine the torture :sigh:. I dream of a world where everybody would at least tolerate each other. Didn't I tell you that I am also nicknamed John Lennon? :giggle:

I have decided to start to have a new way of looking at my body. All these years, I hated it, because it was to fat. So I was hiding it, cursing it, ignoring it. And now I realise: why? it is not my body's fault I don't know if that makes sense but it is my mind that corrupted my body like this. So now, I am learning how to pamper myself, to make me feel good in the body I was given. I went to Lush yesterday and bought some lovely soap bars. I have always loved this shop but very rarely bought anything as I didn't think it was worth it, being so fat and all that. So now I have decided that I'd rebudget and spare some money for nice, fun (and not tested on animals ) beauty products. I am lucky as in Bluewater my fav shops are all closed to each other .

I am sorry my sentences do not make much sense, but I am EXAUSTED and can't even write in French anymore

I hope you all had a good day.

Hi Elie

Good on you for pampering yourself a bit (and for getting not tested on animals stuff too!). MMMMM Lush - I love Lush bath bombs. You totally deserve it. I too am trying to do that more as I think it sends yourself a message that you are worth the effort and bolsters your self esteem. Another plus is time in the bathroom is time out of the kitchen lol.
I love body shop cocoa butter body butter - smells like white chocolate mmmmm.

There is nothing worse than being stuck in the middle of fighting colleagues is there? Annoys me no end - like you say they can dislike each other but be polite and not ***** behind each other's backs.

 

[Elie]

You wouldn't think I work in a scholl and that we are supposed to be responsible adults . Well, here is a news for everybody, teachers are sometimes worse than the pupils they teach

I feel very srongly about animal testing in the cosmetic industry, so I am always careful with what I buy. LUSH is one of the best shops in the world. I feel like a queen from another era with all my creams and soap and powdered perfumes in old fashion boxes and tins . And I start realising that beauty is also about how you smell and "feel". I have always found women who smell a nice perfume to be very attractive (not that I am attracted to women though ).

We should all pamper ourselves, it gives such a good impression of self worth

Hi Elie

Just wondering how you are as you haven't posted in a few days? Hope you are OK...

 

[Elie]

Hi Anna! (and everybody who still reads my diary!)

Thanks for your message! I am fine, I was just very busy as we were in the middle of mock exams for our Sixth Formers.

The diet is going fine. I lost another 3.6lbs this week, which could have been better if I had drunk the required 4l a day! But I didn't so... I have a stone since I started the diet. It does not show on my signature because I weigh differently at my CDC (for some reason...)

I hope you are doing fine girls.

Elie

 

[spannerpan]

HI Elie

Glad to see you had another good loss this week and you are totally on track for the Easter Challenge. Good luck!

 

[Elie]

Hi girls!

Thanks for your message Sara I know how difficult it can be for students, I was one last year I had a bath tub in my 2 first houses but I didn't dare take any bath in it... Wouldn't risk my life

Thanks Anna! I hope I will win this Easter Challenge But even I don't, I would still be happy with my weight loss. I can't believe how much I have lost in 2 months...

Another very long and boring day today. Pupils were having assessments, and I HATE not being able to talk or do anything but wander around desks

Off to eat my CD chocolate bar in front of a film now!

Elie xx

PS: I should have started a career in LUSH I love this site so much I even advertise it for free in the staffroom

Hi Elie!

Hi Ellie, my twin

I am glad to receive some news from you. I hope the diet is going OK for you.

Sara, I can't even imagine what would happen if I were unleashed in a LUSH shop with a discount Have you heard of their cosmetic range? The shop is called B and it follows the same concepts and principles, and it gorgeous, though quite pricey. There are only 4 shops in England so far, but you can see their products online.

[taureanbeaut]

LOL @ the twin comment!

Diet has been going very well so far! Only 2lbs to go til I get to a total of 2 stone loss. There is absolutely no turning back now. Taking it a stone at a time. My clothes are alot looser and yeah the boobs have also shrunk a tad bit!! LOL

 

[Elie]

Hi lovely people!

Well, it was WI yesterday, and I lost 3.4lbs. As my CDC says, my losses are never huge but consistent so all is well in dietland for Elie

I am all the more happy that I can now fit into trousers that I bought 2 years ago!!!!! Last week, I needed 5 cm less to be able to do them around my bum and waiste, and yesterday morning, I realised they fitted perfectly! So I must have lost quite a lot in inches

I hope you all had a very nice week.

Hi people!

Another diet week is gone, along with 3.2 lbs. I am very happy because this week I wasn't very serious with my water. I have to be more serious next week as I fell ill because of my lack of water. That'll teach me! :whoopass:

I am 5 lbs away from my 3rd stone, and I hope to reach this goal within the next 2 weeks: I think it is possible, don't you think?

I will give you more news later. I have to hurry this morning!

Hope you're all well.

Elie xx

 

[dor9]

[canireallydothis!!]
