Hi girls, well I have fallen off the wagon again and it's well and truely on its way down the street!! I will have to catch it and jump back on. I have been pretty stressed, having to do exams and now prac, meaning I am working three days a week and leaving my little angel with my DH or mum. I know she's safe and happy with them, but I want to be home with her! I have hardly any time to do my house work and I have so much written work to do with uni, I am feeling a bit swamped and my wieghtloss is really taking a back seat. I am eating through stress and stressing that I am eating so much, LOL!! I really need to try to prioritise and get things into perspective. I have put on another kilo so I am now heavier than when I began here originally- a very grand total of 88kg's . I am so depressed. I am avoiding mirrors and trying not to let my DH see me in the nude, I am so embarrassed and ashamed of myself. I feel horrible, you's think that would be motivation enough huh?? Any way enough of my moaning...


Veronica, congratulations to you you are doing such a great job!! YOU go girl, hehehe!

Nadine, I agree with Tracey on the water. You need to have about 2l a day! I also have problems with my 'plumbing' if I don't eat healthily and drink enough, more so if I odn't drink enough. I have a few prunes each day too I find they work really well for me, as well as a pear or apple each day. There's nothing worse that the feeling of being bloated and full like that, ick!

Hoody, hello and welcome! Congratulations on your new bubba's birth! Three weeks old...I remember that, it seems so long ago now! It sounds like you really need to take things slowly and be gentle with yourself for a while. Don't put too much pressure on yourself yet, you have just had a major operation and having a new bub, bf, and running after a toddler is exercise enough for many people! Good luck to you

Tracey, welcome to you too, it sounds like you know what you need to do for your self. It will be great to have a professional on hand for advice, as well as being aboe to relate to people who have been overweight, it does help that you know how it feels. I wish you luck too.
Oh by the way TMI means 'too much information.'

Hello to eveyone else and good luck for this week!

ETA Lots of posts since I started, hehehe, sorry if I repeated things, LOL!
