Hello you lovely peeps. I just wanted to apologise for not being around much over the past couple of weeks.
I've been completely selfish as I really didn't feel like being sociable. snotty cow! LOL.
One or two personal problems, but nothing major. But slimming wise I hit the brick wall. I was still on plan 100% but was losing very little. The dreaded plateau!! Then last week I gained 1/2 a pound for absolutely no reason, other than ToTM! I was devastated. I'd done nothing wrong and got a gain, a blot on my weight sheet. I know it's stupid, and I know it's only 1/2 a pound, but it upset me so much. It hadn't helped because I'd only been losing a pound or pound and a half for the past few weeks. I know a lot of people would be happy with that and i know I should, but when you do it 100% you do expect a bit more than 1lb, especially as it had been coming off so well up until Christmas, and including over christmas and the new year. No gains whatsoever! So yes, this tiny little gain upset me for the entire week when I was already down in the dumps about it.
Everyone kept telling me.. but look how much you've lost already, you look great etc.. but all I could see is how far I've still got to go.. I still have another 6 stone 10 to lose to get to my target. I also know that 1lb a week is 4 stone in a year, but that would mean another 18 months at 1lb a week. I'd give up before then. I really don't want to give up, my head is still in the right place, I AM getting to target! It's just been a long slow haul these past few weeks.
So being a bit dispondent, it's hard to come on here and appear to be happy and cheerful and offer advice to other people when I felt so shitty.
I have been keeping up with my blog though, and that's warts n' all. So if you don't see me around for a few days and wonder what's up.. go check my blog and you'll see if I'm happy or not LOL.
It is nice to come back on the site though and catch up and see all the helpful and friendly advice and banter.
I plan to be around a bit more again now that I've lost 2lbs this week. I emailed my consultant last night and told her to bring a hacksaw to class today because if I didn't lose more than 1lb I was going to start chopping body parts off LOL. Luckily she didn't need to use it
