It keeps moving
I’ve been a bit quiet again recently, I keep logging in but don’t seem to really blog or comment much.
Things are still going well, I’ve lost the last couple of weeks, with a 2lb loss this week which was slightly suprising as I was at a wedding last weekend and drank way too much. I also ate two of the largest profiteroles I have ever seen in my life, they were each about the size of a grapefruit, I was expecting one or two petite little things which wouldn’t have been too bad. I shouldn’t have eaten them both and I did feel quite ill afterwards.
I didn’t even feel like eating anything from the buffet at the evening do, even though it was a nice spread although that might have been due to the copious amount of alcohol I consumed.
It was a family wedding and things went as well as could be expected. It was quite a refined affair and not really my thing. I never know what to wear and then to think I look a bit of a sight whatever. My mum wanted me to be in a dress or a skirt but I haven’t worn either for at least 10 years and I would have been even more uncomfortable, she eventually saw a bright pink floaty top and told me to buy it. I hated it but at least I din’t get earache from her or my gran about what I was wearing.
My grandad was being his usually tactless self, telling all and sundry that even though I looked like I did, that I had lost weight recently. He has quite a loud voice and he even did it in the wedding chapel, while we were waiting for the bride. He was also making sarking comments everytime I ate or drank something. I tried to ignore it but it still hurts. I wasn’t going to be fussy about what I was eating at a wedding, there was no choice and I was having a day off. I know I’ve let myself get to this point but it can’t all disappear overnight and I’ve lost 37lbs since January.
I knew the weekend wasn’t going to good eating wiseI was staying at my parents and they don’t really understand. As soon as I got home again I was straight back on track and a 2lb loss is a testament to my determination not to let the eating or comments affect the rest of the week.
I’ve bought a few new bits of clothes for my holiday (including a new swimsuit arrggghhh) but I’m hoping to buy some clothes in Florida while I am there as there is only really one shop I can buy from here and I’m lead to believe the choice is better over there.
So can anyone recommend any good stores for the larger lady?
Hey Sue, How good it is to see you back. It is nerve racking trying to find clothes for an affair, you have to go to…and then to feel comfortable as well. Glad you got out and had a good? time. I have relatives also that seem to find my weight to be the only subject of interest at times…so now I just avoid them. What are you going to do, they have no clue what its like to be overweight, and then to have to work so hard to lose it as well. And one more thing…37 lbs! Yell it form the rooftops girl…your doing great!!
Hi Sue
Glad to see a blog by you. Ignore the comments of children, the aged, and the insane… they mean no harm, but know no better.
You have made tremendous progress; it doesn’t matter how much you have to lose yet, 37 pounds is a great accomplishment.
Take care and have a good week.
Lol at Konadad’s comment about the children, aged and the insane.
Hey girl…37 lbs…wow. That is just awesome and I know you can see the changes in your body.
2 lb weight loss shows you not only got back on track..but you rocked it!
We are so proud of you girl..and I hope you find yourself as proud as you can be!
Love Debbie
Sue great to have you back girlie. You’ve come so far since January…. 37lbs is a huge amount of weight to lose in only 8 months and you should be so proud of that!
You are doing SO well sue, you have been 1 of the greatest buddies to speak to on here cuz your ongoing positivity always lifts my spirit. Completely empathise with the grandad situation, my grandma has been the same in the past, made a couple of comments that hurt a little and my uncle (her son) is a little on the large side and some of her comments to him can sound a bit mean sometimes but I know it is only cuz they care. I guess in their own way they think they are being cruel to be kind, but just the way he was mouthing off shows how proud he is of you with how far you have come.
You have done exceptionally well to lose any weight at all with having an event like that where you can’t control the food situation so congrats to you! Good to see you on here, I have been a little distant myself lately but now I am getting back into it I am remembering why I signed up all over again! x
