WannabeSkinnyMinnie's Fat to Fab Diary 2013

[ali28]

That's setting everyone up for a fall! Chippy next to where you've been weighed in and will no doubt be starving, that's just cruel! :-o

LOL I once went to the Chinese on the way back from WI and saw 2 other members in there ordering too. We were destined for failure I think.

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

Ahaha funnily enough my WW was opposite an Indian Restaurant and a chinese takeaway!! Though we went straight to Tescos, hungry as it was an evening meeting and lets just say we wern't always that restrained.

Talking of restraint, OH and father (who is staying yet again :S) are tucking into £23 worth of KFC!! I am resisting!! Yay!

 

[ED.]

Yay! I was thinking earlier Hun, we have lost 3st, the exact amount of weight as my eldest daughter is. We have lost a whole 5 year old!! Glad your still on form doing soooo excellent xx

 

[jael001]

I realised that I need to lose in total more than my daughter weighs and she's nearly 12, 5'2 and wears a size 6 shoes, that's scary lol.

Re: January to July Challenge! 5- 6 stone to lose!! Here we gooooo!!!

Hahaha thats so funny- losing a whole five year old! When you put it like that!! Mega proud of us!! I now weigh the same weight as OH!! I hated being heavier than him! Now he thinks he can pick me up! Lol x

The rule of thumb is never weigh more than your fridge, fully stocked of course.

I never want to be heavier than the manfriend. Also, when ever we have meals, I alway make sure my plate is much less than his.
Maybe years ago, when I first got married, had I adopted that attitude, I wouldn't have gotten so overweight in the first place

 

[jael001]

I always weighed more than my ex, even when I was skinny. He did all the cooking in our house and he dished up the same portion sizes for me as for himself, no wonder I put on so much weight.

Perhaps I need a OH who is fatter

Yeah I must admit my portions were man sized once I became comfortable with OH. I used to eat so much until I literally felt like I couldnt move!!

 

[ali28]

Snap. My fella can eat and eat and still be hungry! My mum used to give me big portions, and I never really grasped what a normal portion is, tiny in comparison to what I used to have! Xx

me and my OH came from feeder families. his mum has a major problem when people dont eat. when i was doing exante openly she would literally stress out when i was there and not eating. but this time she doesnt no and just thinks i am eating less, weird. so the point is when we moved in together neither of us knew how to portion control and it is bizarre to think we no use less food at each meal to feed the 5 of us never mind just him and i!

 

[ED.]

I only recently became lighter than OH too! He is 11st 12lb. I also ate man sized portions, probably more. I'd have deserts too and could eat far more than him, including secret binges and the kids leftovers. Pig lol xx

Its awful feeling though knowing your heavier than a man! I weighed more than my dad too!! My eyes were definitely too big for my belly! I just loved eating! Its all down to portion sizes from when I was younger too. My mum always cooked well just huge portions!

So have been to the doctor this evening to go back on my usual pill. Last summer when I went to get it the nurse basically said I was too fat to be on it as I weighed 16 and a half stone. Today when I weighed on docs scales I was the same as my naked early morning post wee weight!!! And I was fully clothes and had drank 2 litres while waiting (she was an hr and 10mins behind!!) So perhaps I'd weigh in the 11's on the docs scales if I'd weighed in the morning! The doc was thrilled id lost 4 and a half stone since last August and gave me the pill again!

Now my only worry is how the pill may effect losses or gains. Also as I have such irregular periods how am I going to cope having them monthly again?!?! Arrgh!

Another good day on the nibbles front xx

Minnie that is a real endorsement of what you are doing if the doc is pleased with you. Well done.

Thanks Mere- health is most important for me. I was getting so puffed out walking and used to get hot and start sweating due to all the excess fat!

I thought I'd share a very embarassing picture with you all of the size I was when I actually went to the doctors last and a picture from today. I cringe at how hideous I look in the before pic- in denial thinking the dress was slimming!!!!!!!! I mean how many tyres?! No wonder I couldnt keep up with my 8 stone friends- I was literally double the weight! How disgusting ewwww. To think this pic is actually on fb- (friends profile- not tagged!!!) is shameful!

 

[jael001]

What, what a transformation, you look great

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

I almost don't recognise myself in the picture as I didn't see myself that size! Of course, it's easy to not look at the picture and acknowledge it than face the truth!
Even OH didn't realise I'd got that big until I showed him the picture that I just posted comparing.
The transformation is on going but getting there xx
