Taz's diary - Need to do this!

[Taz]

Hee hee yeah. Bless, my mum used to be a total technophobe and now she is a bit of a whizz on the pooter. I think it's great!

 

[Gemstone]

Life in the old girl yet eh?

 

[Taz]

yeah plenty!

Ok so I have been doing some thinking. My weight, rather than losing my holiday gains, has gone up AGAIN! I have WI on wednesday and that will definately be showing a gain as I am currently 6lb up from pre-holiday WI. That means I definately won't be getting any more vouchers and I can't keep avoiding WI to avoid seeing the gain. So I will go back to the nurse as planned in 2 weeks but I won't argue with her when she tells me that I can't have more. I think I will give it a go going solo again. I know that it's never worked for me before but I am thinking of trying a new strategy. I will WI at home on a Friday morning. I have WI sheets in my SW pack so I can record it each week and I know my scales are accurate. I will ONLY go easy on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday then back on plan strictly from the Monday. I will give this a go starting from this Friday and see how disciplined I can be. I have never been able to do it alone before so not sure how it will be

 

[Jim]

Sounds like a plan to me Taz, morning my lovely.

Good Morning Taz.
I always fort of doing sw from home and having my wi day as a Friday being very strick then having a treat of a weekend. The only thing that stops me is i like going on the website and then i wouldnt get the password so thats why i dont!

 

[Taz]

Morning Jim and gemma.

I haven't been on the site for a long time so I don't think I will miss it all that much at the moment. I have a lot going on and I think that's why I have had such a gain. 6lb is not an insignificant gain and that really upsets me so I have to change something. Obviously cutting out the chocolate will be job 1! I went out to dinner on Saturday night and my intentions were good until my dad told me they had changed the menu and when I looked there was a new sundae on there which I just HAD to try! If he hadn't told me I wouldn't have looked

Going it alone has never worked for me before so I don't know how it's going to go but I will give it a try for a month or so and see how I get on. Although I still have 2 weeks left of my vouchers which I will use I am going to start my Friday WI this week so I have a few more days to shift this gain

 

[Jim]

You're not really on your own though Taz, there is always this site to help love.

 

[Taz]

Yes Jim that is very true. I usually need that weekly independent WI though but I will see how it goes.

My friend is waiting for gastric band surgery and she was recently given a copy of her pre-op diet. She is not looking forward to it as it is quite sparse and looks like a tough call but I have just told her that I am going to do it with her. It's only one week and she has no choice but to do it so I can't complain about it. It will be easier to support her if I know what it's like!

 

[Gemstone]

......and you will be a Friday Girl and can "Rock Fine in '09" with us. We'll look after you - you've been supporting Friday Girls already haven't you. Ellie and I have decided we're gonna be Friday Nuns this week - nun today, nun tomorrow, nun the next day and nun Thursday (treats that is!) so that the Friday weigh in will be good x

 

[Taz]

Hmm I think I will have to be a nun this week too. I will just attend to the bag of Revels then I will declare myself a nun!

 

[Gemstone]

You is bein bad already Taz?

 

[Jim]

Nasty revels, throw them away Taz.

 

[Taz]

Fear not, they are gone

 

[abz]

hi taz. you never know. supporting yourself might be just what you need. going to the group obviously isn't helping you much, so maybe having yourself to rely on rather than the group sessions will make you stick to it better?

good luck babes. you can do it.

 

[Gemstone]

And she's a Friday Girl - Yay x

 

[Taz]

I know that we will both drop a good few lbs with the pre-op diet but mine will probably go straight back on again when I eat normally again. That's ok though, that's not really the point of doing it

 

[Gemstone]

That is what I call a great friend - empathy is better than sympathy any day x

 

[Taz]

As I said to her, when she phones/texts/IMs me it's no good for me to just say "There, there" to her while I tuck into my dinner. We can help each other through the week

 

[Jim]

mine will probably go straight back on again when I eat normally again

That's the point though Taz, you have to find a way of eating where you don't gain weight again love.
