Lesley Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm glad you're feeling better now Nicola. I was thinking of you when I was up for a couple of hours last night feeling really unwell - it must have been nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Glad you are feeling ok again now Nicola. That food poisioning could have been just what the doctor ordered in a funny sort of way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Come on Helen - you've been through a difficult time -don't beat yourself up. Just apply your mind from today - 4lbs is no big deal in the grand scheme of things and you know you can deal with it. Perhaps a food diary? I thought the weight would be dropping off me in the 4 weeks since we moved to the farm - I've stayed the same I eventually looked at what I was doing and realised I was 'rewarding' myself for all the hard work Because I hadn't actually put any weight on, I haven't done anything about it - but after breaking Kate's chair at the Burghley get-together in rather spectacular style ( ) perhaps I ought to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I have learnt is to just take each day as it comes because if you beat yourself up over it then it will get worse. You have had a tough time of it lately and should cut yourself some slack and just start again from now. You're a great person and I know that you can do this when you are ready to so hang in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I have just had a 'moment' right in the middle of Asda Last thing last night I went late night shopping at Asda and had a look round the clothing whilst I was there. I did see a summer dress with a boned top (so it would have to fit properly) and floaty skirt (because I am larger at the bottom) that I thought would be perfect for the garden party we always have for my daughter's Birthday in mid August. I thought I'd buy one in a much smaller size so I could shrink into it. It was only £22 so I wouldn't have wasted too much money if the weather for her birthday is rubbish, or I decide in a couple of months that I don’t like it on me, or I am the wrong size for it. So just now I went back for a second look and to try one on in my current size although I didn't have a clue what that might be having lost over 2 1/2 stone since I last bought anything. I ended up in a size 18 having previously been a 24 and heaven knows what the queue waiting for the changing rooms thought as they heard the laughter comming from mine! It was only as I walked out of the store that the enormity of what I'd achieved so far had hit me and I began to cry and just couldn't stop myself I got some very strange looks I can tell you as I walked out the doors laughing and crying but I don't care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well done you though! It does sometimes take something "every day" to hit home to us what we have really achieved. It often takes you by surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken on a mission Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well I'm still grinning now but am half disappointed that there is no point in getting any size 18's because I won't fit them for long I will probably get a couple of cheap £3 summer tops for the garden though because the smallest tops I have are a 20 and are more classic with long sleves than summer in the garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 VERY VERY VERY well done Thalia! Must be a wonderful feeling I bought another suit for work yesterday (a replica of my work uniform) and thought I'd be in the 34 waist as 32 has been getting a bit tight the 32" waist fitted quite comfortably and I can still drop a little bit more round the middle and they won't be sitting round my ankles!! (exposing my eglu bum and omlet boxers I lost 4lb last week so will hopefully be back under the 12st this week! Not being silly just want to get back to 10.5 -11.0 stone and be like I used to be (and get into half of my wardrobe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I know that feeling! All my lovely summer skirts are too tight this year! I don't know what's happened but I suspect that chocolate might be at the bottom of it all ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 i know exactly what did it for me Poor Diet - i was binging at work and I go through phases and lots of fads Also a bit of an addictive personality - i got a thing for cadbury chocolate trifes and would buy the multipack of three and eat 6 or more trifles a day I always used to live on 7 or 8 chocolate bars a day and very rarely have anything else - but there was little wonder I was so ill and forever had a cold or something and I was only 9.5 stone then! When I think of how I looked then i get quite sad - I was desperately thin in those days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I have a couple of people at work Andrew who live on chocolate and little else both are thin and both are cronic migraine sufferers and get every infection going but it is NOT THEIR DIET - yeah sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 i never would have blamed my diet either I got a stomach ulcer diagnosed at 14 (had it since I was 11) and i always used to have chips and fried foods but the pain was so bad I haven't had much things deep fried since (chips from a chip shop once in a couple of months) I'm always suprised that I wasn't dead from the way I used to live Not long after I met Joe I got food poisoning and lost SOOO much weight and was in hospital for a week - after that I couldnt eat and was on these medical shakes for a month and lost my entire appetite. My doctor advised that i should eat anything ice cream for breakfast if need be to get an appetite, I never knew what my appetite was before then but it took hold hence I went from 9st to over 12.5 stone When people tell me I don't need to lose anything I get upset. I do as I am not comfortable being "chubby" and i can't stand running down the stairs and can see and feel my man-boobs bouncing - I'm just not comfortable with it.

Mel (& Paul) Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 You just have to be happy with whatever size / weight you want to be - I think you are perfect - but if you dont like you then that's your perogative - and good on you getting into those 32" - use a large belt - not sure we can cope with omlet pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 thank you Mel Like I said I'm not going mad as I was unwell when I was soo thin so I just want to lose the excess - flat washboard stomach would be nice but I can't be bothered with the scrunches and sit ups!
