Pictures of progress

This is after 1 week of Personal Trainer punishment/pleasure I have another 2 months nad 3 weeks to go. It will be interesting to see waht changes happen. I wish I had been brave enough to take a pic of me just before the lapband. I do have a group pic, maybe if I put them all on here, it will give me a better eye of how things are changing!   It is time to stop being a coward.   January 2007 Oct 2006   I'm the one on the left, I've just started to realise how I used to try

OH MY GOD!!

I know it has been ages since i have written here but I do try to keep in touch int he forums. I felt that this was better done in my journal than on the boards.   I'm excited but it doesn't mean everyone wants to hear about it!   Today I put on a pair of size 18 hipster jeans and they fitted wihtout me having a raging battle with the zip! That is truly a miracle, my hips have always been my bugbear. These sorts of jeans have never been possible for me. So I guess I am losing weight in al

A silly emotional day

Feeling miserable today! Don't know why, maybe the reality has finally sunk in that I am losing weight. Yes, I know it should be a cause for joy and happiness. It eventually will be, but I am having to face an issue that has always plagues me when I have tried to lose weight in the past.   Everytime someone noticed I had lost weight, I sabotaged my good fortune. It was like I was scared to be noticed. Whichis down right silly and I can't really explain it. I know I have to deal with this

Oh Happy Day! 2

I achieved another NSV (No Scale Victory) today. I put on a pair of trousers, that when first bought were uncomfortably tight and ended up in the wardrobe after only one outting. Now they are comfortable, well more than comfortable, loose! Not loose enough for me to dare to go down to the next size, but what a wonderful way to start the day!     Everyday, even with the occasional hiccup, has been a reminder that I made the right decison. I have finally invested in myself. Still feel it w

Funny NSVs!

I had a wonderful day of NSV's last night.   With my hypermobility, I had really come to dread having a bath. Not only was the extra weight putting more pressure on my joints, but the bath was getting rather snug! Which made it more difficult for me to get out of!   Well, last night I set myself in my bath and discovered I know longer had to squeeze into it, infact I could gently sway, there was a space either side of me! Also, the chore that was shaving legs, suddenly was easier! My leg

Feeling sad today!

I am in a silly mood today. I have been contemplating the changes that I can already see in my body. The truth is it scares me! I had got so used to despising my body, that I never saw the positives.   Mind you the only positive was that my breasts were slightly more plump! I have dropped down from a 42 to a 38. I can still see the roll of flesh on the sides of my breasts, but it definitely isn't as big as it was. But my cup size B is also reducing in size!!! I hope I don't lose all of m

Consuming Liquid

I am finding it quite hard dealing with waiting an hour for liquid after my meal.   I had found a way of dealing with it, chewing gum seemed to sait the thirst for the our, but I've run out of them and I am feeling quite desperate. I am so used to drinking straight after a meal. Still I will get used to it eventually or never run out of gum!!!   Wonder if anyone else feels this thristy after a meal?   Dad has bought me some liquid Aloe Vera, bless him. I mix it with fruit juice, no suga

Tomato Corned Beef Mush...

I have made a yummy dish in a matter of minutes:   1 tin of Cream of Tomato Soup 1 can of corned Beef A generous Dash of wheat Free Beef Boullion   Swede and Carrot Mash   A nice simple and quick dish to do. My son loved it and to give it a nice kick you can sprinkle some mature cheddar on top as well.   I have found that if I eat with a tea spoon, I feel a lot fuller than if I ate with a big spoon, which tends to allow me to have big mouthfuls of food, which isn't good. So shall eat

Dad has noticed a difference!

Woo hoo, popped into see dad and he has finally noticed a change! :clap2:   That really cheered me up. Small things eh? *he he*   The pain has gone now, thankfully! Was a wee bit worrying yesterday, but it has ensured I'm being extremely careful now. As H said 'I have to follow the Bandster rules!' I promise to be a good girl from now on!   Contemplating what breakfast to have, slimfast or yoghurt. Really fancy porridge but don't have any of that at home. Only the ready Brek that CM

Over eager with reduction

I think I have been a little to premature in reducing my pain killers. I spent virtually most of today sleeping! The last time I did that we discovered that I wasn't gewt proper sleep because of the pain, hence why I am on so many pain killers. I suspect that because have cut down my daily pills the nighttimes one haven't been working as effectively.   I relied to much on the psychological impact of doing such a positive thing, rushing into silly behaviour! Time to re-introduce my day ti

A need to vent my guilt!

I have had the band for all of eight days now! I am eating mushies, never have I had such pleasure from mashed potato!   This cold is driving me gaga and I did a horribly bad thing, I ate another milky way! I have to get these milky bars out of my house. I think I shall hand them out to the kids tomorrow morning. It would be fine if it was summer, I can deal with being warm, but this winter front and food that doesn't really give me any heating is hard work. I wish I could just curl up in
