Weight loss Diary & General musings...

I gotta keep telling myself that when I'm aching lol.

Heres a few readings topping my list for the wedding so far:

I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a
common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon
be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone
who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this
has always been enough - The Notebook

Yes, I’ll marry you, my dear,
And here’s the reason why;
So I can push you out of bed
When the baby starts to cry
And I hear a knocking
And it’s creepy and it’s late
I hand you the torch you see
And you investigate
Yes I’ll marry you my dear
And you may not apprehend it
But when the tumble dryer goes
It’s you that has to mend it
You have to face the neighbour
Should our roggie cat attack him
And if a drunkard fondles me
It’s you that has to whack him
Yes I’ll marry you
You’re virile and you’re lean
Your house is like a pigsty
I’ll help you keep it clean
It’s you who has to work the drill
And put up curtain track
And when I’ve got a migraine its you who gets the flack
I do see great advantages
But none of them for you
And so before you see the light
I do I do I do I do

I wanna make you smile,
Whenever you're sad.
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad.
All I wanna do,
Is grow old with you.
I'll get you medicine,
When your tummy aches.
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks.
Oh it could be so nice,
Growin' old with you.
I'll miss you, kiss you,
Give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you.
Even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink.
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man,
Who grows old with you.
I wanna grow old with you.

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been
through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just
different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in
some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary
way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. It isn’t
until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems
– the ones that make you truly who you are – that you’re ready to find a life-
long mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re
looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong
person – someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want
to have.”






Phewwww long post sorry about that!

Phewwww long post sorry about that!

I love the wedding singer song but I got to admit there is something lovely about the last one :) x
 
We both love the wedding singer movie so that might be a winner!
Prefer them not to be so soppy though, Ideally I would like something a lil dark and not too mushy...
Still browsing ;)
 
We had the Pam Ayres one as our second reading - 'yes Ill marry you' and it was quite funny, nice to have a chuckle after the seriousness of the service bit was done

We had the Wedding cake reading as our first one - our friend read it and made it personal to us.

I spent ages looking for readings and in the end couldnt decide, so I made a short list and let hubby choose them as it was about the only thing he had done!


When is your wedding? Sorry if you already said, I have a terrible memory. What else do you have left to do? Nosy I am!
 
We was both to impatient to have readings as soon as they said your now man and wife we just wanted to get on with the celebrations lol. That and we couldn't get anyone to stand up, The best man (oh younger brother out of duty) didn't even do a post dinner speech and spent almost all the meal on his b****y phone
It didn't help we got married the same day as the grand national and a big man united game. I actually have a wedding photo of all the men finding out the results and jumping around like crazy people.
 
No worries my weddings august 17th 2013, long way to go!
We've sorted photographer, venue and ceremony but theres not much else I can do until I've picked a dress cos that will set the theme too, and I'm not letting myself try any until I've hit my goal of 10 stone!

Our guest will do as theyre told lol! Id hate if someone was on their phone all through dinner too :(
And there will be nooooooo football on the big day, even if arsenal (fiances team) are playing :p
 
OMG OMG OMG!
My size 16's are loose :D
 
Uh oh! Hope you have the next size down ready and waiting...or you'll be showing the world a little more of you than you planned. ;)
 
Haha! Its always on my bum they get looser first, damn belly is so stubborn...
Will get another 2 pairs from dorothy perkins (2 for £25!) in a size 14 & 12 when I next get paid so it will give me something to aim for!
Or I might just steal my mums lol
 
STS :(
 
Aww never mind seems you may have lost inches instead? Xx
 
About an inch and a half from my waist and chest, nothing off the lower section which is weird because things are looser there!
 
Hey look at what you have done over time and imagine what you could have gained if you were not on the diet! you are such and inspiration next week you will have a good loss i bet!!

A hug for you skinny waist anyhow,
Sam xx

If thou were a 3D model I bet there are millimetres off all over the shop. STS happens. If you ate food then I'd say it's glycogen but since you didn't it isn't! It's the slow melt of flabby bits you didn't even know you had!
 
Hello hun! Haven't written in here for a while. Seems you are doing so well. Very proud of you! You are looking great! Just wanted to say, what I have realised since I have been 'maintaining' is that I can lose weight but feel rubbish or gain weight and feel great - it is so much more about how you feel in your clothes, and looking at your pics and from what you have been saying it seems the inches are coming off! Your doing so well, dont see a sts as a bad thing :) Xxx
 
Thanks everyone! Still feel abit naff about it because I'm eating at wedding friday then spose to be off again next sat to drink at a bday which I've decided against then a curry night out with work, arghhhhhh!!! Makes it so hard to stick to at the mo when stuff is going on, I'm looking forward to getting it all out of the way so I can just focus all my energies on the diet, I need to get the rest of this weight off, I can't let it slip now I've come so far ...

You've been doing this long enought to know that STS is probably just your body taking the time to catch up a bit with your loss. I always wonder how it does that - sort of redistribute your weight/fat around your body, so that you lose inches without actually losing on the scale.

And well I know the feeling of wanting all social engagements to vanish so that I can just focus on the diet and not get distracted or tempted by anything. I like the idea some people have of sleeping it all off - snooze for 6 months and hey presto! However, we have to deal with real life which is full of pitfalls and temptations. Aaargh!

Hang in there - these things may slow us down - a little, cause we will be in control - but we will get there in the end! :)
 
You are doing great, don't let a STS get you down, its the long haul that counts. :)
 
Sts is fab hun, don't let it get u down, keep going and u will get a loss next week for deffo!!!!
 
Good morning lovely how u doing? you have come so far your 'right' xx
