  1. 4 days to go until brisbane

    · jodie07 · 03/31/2007 08:23

    Today is Saturday the boys had softball this morning they played well. I have a few things on my mind and I dont know what to do or who to talk to. Anyway its like this I want to be thin so bad I even enjoy walking of a morning but what the hell am I going to to about my addiction. All I think about is food I know I have made it this far and Im proud of myself. But I am now starting to have withdrawals and I hate it. If I tell Darren or mum how i feel and what it is going on in my mind they will be very disappointed with me and I dont want that. I dont want Darren to be angry with me because I love him and I hate arguing with him it hurts me. I dont need the food because Im not hungry and I know its bad for me so why do I crave it. I hate myself because of my head. I thought I was going good what is happening to my head. How am I going to get out of this head space. Do I need to go and see Jean. I cant say anything in Brisbane because they will get angry at me and I hate the feeling of anger towards me. I hate the thought of letting people down , I dont want to let anyone down, I have failed at this before time and time again over and over. Im scared that I am going to lose it and take it out on Darren and the kids and I dont want that because its not their fault , I cant let myself take it out on the ones closest to me . Im a bit pissed off at myself because I thought I would have lost more weight by now but anyway I have so I have to put up with it. Brisbane on Wednesday .

    Today is a great day I started walking again last Monday I could only walk about 800 mts but today I walked 1.8 kms. I was really proud of myself. i weighed in yesterday and I am down to 154 kilos. I am back down to the weight when Darren moved here. I am feeling great but I am excited to go back to Brisbane next week for my first fill. I dont want to eat a full sandwich, a half will do me. have been cooking our main meal from Annettes books and everyone is happy about that.The kids just love the meals.They make me feel healthy and Im losing weight and Im not denying myself of anything.:kiss2:

    · jodie07 · 03/02/2007 03:02

    One week gone....Im feeling really good, still have a little pain but starting to feel a bit hungry now. I know now why I have had this done ..I want to be healthy and fit and not to be fat anymore. hard to believe I was once 180kgs and being on optifast I then got down to 160 kgs. Dont know what I am now Im just excited to see the new me happening. After all my years of growing up with eating disorders and years of counselling I can honestly say for the first time in my life I am not worried about food and my weight. I know now I am on the right path for happiness...ohh I am happy with my life..Darren and the kids are great I love them with all my heart. I mean happy to go out in public and to socialise with out worrying what people are going to say. To hell with them...:nervous

  12. day 1

    · jodie07 · 03/02/2007 01:58

    Day 1.... woke up at 6am and had my blood pressure taken and given my meds to take. Darren arrived at about 7am to see how I was and to take me home as everyone gets kicked out of the ward by 10 am. I went and had a wash as i couldnt have a shower because the nurse was to busy to stay and help. i was feeling not to bad considering what I had been through. All I wanted to do is to get home except I had a 5 hour drive ahead of me.I had about 50 mls of pineapple juice before I left and that stayed down ok. Had only water on the way home and feeling very sick in the tummy. Arrived home and the kids were very excited to see me but I just couldnt talk ..not feeling to good. I went and had a sleep in the recliner chair. I was a bit emotional this night. Still feeling sick but no vomiting as yet...thank goodness...:cry
