Hello lovely FS'ers how were your weekends?
I havent journaled in a few days so i thought i would catch you up with my life.
first of all i ended up quitting the 12hour a day job it was awful they treated us like slaves and not even on slave pay! at one point i was given a mans fleccey jacket (which was huge on my little frame) and told that i wasnt allowed to remove it all day! despite the fact that it was about 21C (69F) and i was sitting in an un air conditioned bathroom it was horrible i was sweating like crazy and i had to stay like that for at least 6 or 7 hours! plus they were so un organised that nothing seemed to get done! so i left and have decided to enjoy my last two weeks before i start my real job and by enjoy i mean work out like a crazy person!
which brings me to my next point, i went home for the weekend as a kind of de stress and also to see my mum and stepdad(it was fathers day so i thought i should) i ended up eating pretty badly; dorritos and icecream, i think its partially because TOM came around and i was stressed so i just craved sweetness :P but i didnt overeat which i usually do at home i kept it mostly in moderation which was great. I also spoke to my mum about my weightloss which is a touchy subject in my house as my grandmother has an eating disorder and when she was a child my mother often went unfed or malnourished so she has always tried to make sure she doesnt do that to her children by overfeeding us in a way, my sister who is a stubborn one decided quite early that she would only eat when hungry but i always ate what i was given which we both ended up agreeing hasnt helped me in the long run, i also mentioned that i was worried i would develop some sort of heart disease as my paternal grandmother died from a heart attack and my mothers father is on beta blockers to prevent another one. my mum also told me that my fathers side of the family are very big (i don't know them so i didnt really know this) she has decided she is fully behind my weightloss and has said she will help anyway she can. she actually bought me a weightwatchers magazine which had a free two week trial in so ive decided to give that a go seeing as i hate counting calories i thought points might be a bit easier.
weighed in for the housemate challenge today (i was at home yesterday) and suprisingly i had lost weight and inches i was very very pleased!
UpperWaist 36.6 ---------------------------- 35.5 LowerWaist 44 ------------------------------ 45.5 (i think this could be due to TOM bloating) Hips 43 -------------------------------------42.5 Bum 43.8----------------------------43.5 Thighs 24 -------------------------- 23.5 UpperArm 12.1 -----------------------12.4 Bust 42------------------------------42
so overall i am pleased with the result im definitly going to keep working as i have booked my tickets for the USA and i have a long way to go before i can look my very best!
