I need to do a Michelle Mcmanus....

[woosmummy]

Enough is enough - I'm feed up of being stared at, talked about and laughed at.

I'm joing a gym and I'm going to make a real effort. I know everyones doing the same thing at this time of year, but does anyone else need to change in the way she has? ie 20st( or more) down to something more normal.

I've had the year from hell and I want things to be better and this is the only thing left to change - I've got a brilliant baby boy, I've got rid of a crap ex, I've ditched the job and I'm back with family to support me - It just can't be any harder than this last year has been!!!

Thanks for the support! I actually found myself at work today in my weaker moments thinking about going on to mn for some moral support it really does help.

Not doing too badly - have not been very well, had a really bad atteack of gallblader trouble, which i've never had before butlasted three days. Not been able to eat properly since friday, so now i've got to eat food less than 2% fat.

Dr said there was no way they would operate on me so all I could do was take antibiotics and painkillers - i suppose its just more motivation to keep on a good diet and exercise, but my good all i want to do is go to sainsbury's and buy my usual basket of stuff to binge on...

what an amazing thread. Woosmummy I think you are amazing. You sound like you have so much motivation. Go girl!!! I'm doing slimming world and it's going okay. Guess I'd like to try and lose about 3stone too. And you are so right - weight loss and keeping fitter definitely lifts your mood.

Sorry to hear you've not been well wm you've done so well so far don't give in to the temptation to binge now. Just try and think how crap you'll feel afterwards if you do. I'm hanging on in there and my friends are really supporting me which helps a lot. I've always thought in the past that telling people that you're trying to lose weight just puts you under more pressure but it's really helping. Keep going wm we can do it!

Didn't do it - just the thought of eating crap makes me feel sick at the moment - I think i'll live in fear of the pain forever. I was almost as bad as labour pains, to the point I was fantasing about gas and air and how to get an epidural deivered in the middle of the night!!

I even resisted stuffing myself when I recieved a solicitors letter from my ex about contact and how he thought it would be ok for him to take my baby for 6 hrs once a month to his parents house which is an hour away - rant over...

Well done woosmummy, hope it's still going OK. Has everyone else given up on the thread? Let us know how you're doing. the more the merrier!! I lost another 2lbs last week which I know is still a loss but wasn't proportionate to the effort I'd put in iyswim. Hoping for 4lbs this week which would bring my total to 1&1/2 stones.
