Yay!
weigh-in at weight watchers, week number 8 and i lost a pound hurrah which brings the total to loss of 18 pounds woo!!
And today it kinda hit home as well - although 18 pounds is obviously quite a bit really - but because that is only a teeny fraction of what i've got to lose i've been rather dismissive of it. Then because i've lost weight but not enough to go down a size in clothes which leads to me having to stop all the time and pull my work trousers up from round my butt this happened:
work colleague: *stare* you've lost haven't you? *accusatory tone*
me: yeah a little bit
work colleague: its a little bit more than that isn't it?
me: wellllll, about a stone or so.
work colleague: wow! thats amazing! go you!
me: meh. you know how it is - one meal out and it'll probably all be back on.
I CANNOT TAKE COMPLIMENTS - this therefore has been playing on my mind.
Sorry, random waffle, the point being that one of the ladies who stays at the meetings brings her little baby in a push chair and he sits, good as gold, occasionally shouting out baby-talk
and then our leader asked how much he weighed and it was twenty one pounds - and it hit me that i've nearly lost a WHOLE BABY (minus a foot or two) of weight. A WHOLE FREAKING BABY.
gosh.
... so then i went and had chips and battered mushrooms.
yeah not so brill.
I've decided i'm not doing this whole reward with food thing on monday nights anymore - i'm sabotaging myself for the rest of the week and its just silly really.
but any way - go me!
I'm going to try and aim for the three pounds and then that'll give me a stone and a half and the weight of a whole baby!

Aaaaand so i'm back... from outer space
Hey... its been a while
Well, during this time i've changed my job - i enjoy it soooooo much more than the last one and no more ridiculously early morning (seriously 5am? Who knew that existed?).
I LOVE it.
But.
There's always a but, but with me - lets face it (and pardon the pun) its a big but(t)!
Whilst my last job was all 'lets stand and walk for 12 hours a day - and get paid for it! woo! This one? Well, 2/3rds of my job is now sitting down at a computer so there I am minding my own business and look! someone is offering me cake! well, it would be rude not to wouldn't it!!
Essentially, what i'm trying to say is - whilst i'm all like yay! look at me and my new job! My arse is like yay! cake! and all of a sudden i've put on 2 stone and 2 lbs.
Not so much with the yay any more.
So, i looked at the scales and then looked at them again - then printed the ticket out and looked at it some more on the bus journey home. I knew i had put a bit on but 2 stone??? really?? where?? then i took a look at myself in the mirror. i didn't really like what i saw, to be honest, i was disgusted with myself. Still am to a certain extent. Can't look in full body mirrors and am always BEHIND the camera not in front of it.
But (another one!) what was even worse, i was going on holiday - not sunbathing bikini type hols but swish sophisticated city break hols - i was going to have to sit with my size 8 chums and be happy and jolly, i was going to have to attempt to sit in the plane seats and not ask for one of those seat belt extenders, i was going to have to eat food in front of people and wonder if they were all disgusted with me!!
So after eating a lot of ice cream, a loaf of meatloaf and a pack of kettle chips ... and maybe some microwave chips and cheese as well - oh! and a pack of chocolate fingers that was buy one get one free... so really, i had to, i ate the free one as well.
yeah, after all that i went to buy some clothes - figuring i'd rather do fat and kinda glamorous than fat and very bleaurgh and i went and yes i felt F.A.T. but i lived. (and even better no way near asking for extendo seat belt!) and then i came back and i went to my local weight watchers.
I went.
I didn't want to, i blushed as i was walking into the street that its on thinking everyone was looking at me going - well, its not as if you could fit in anywhere else!
And then i went in and honestly? They're the nicest bunch of ladies i've ever met.
They're great and now less than three months in i've nearly lost a stone and a half - which is good. Great in fact.
I love to go, i even look forward to that hour on a Monday evening.
So here's to tomorrow - fingers crossed!
was: 22 st 8 lb (living dead) BMI 44.1
now: 21st 5 lb (just under 300 lbs!!) BMI 41.7
