A New Charm

I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but as an added incentive to continue losing weight, my friend and I decided we would get a charm every time we real a goal (whether that be a weight loss goal, a measurement loss, an exercise goal etc.).

Since I achieved my first goal I have now bought myself a new charm. I was slightly concerned that I had only reached goal because I'd been so sick - 2.2kg is a lot to lose in one week after all. Then at weigh in this week I'd lost another 0.6kg which brings me to 5.7kg down (wohoo!). So, I bought a charm. I haven't received it yet, I got it online, it is a tea cup - I'm a teapot & tea cup nut, I know, I am a nerd.

I am so happy!

First Goal!

I am terribly excited as I made my first goal at weigh in last night. I am now 5kg lighter than when I started! This is marvellous motivation to continue. I've been sick for nearly a week and yesterday all I wanted was KFC, food dripping with horrible horrible fat. I weighed in and suddenly that was the last thing that I wanted because success is so inspiring that now I want even more success!

Yay me!

Sick

I am sick and have been for three days now. This is a particularly horrible version of the flu and I suspect may be turning into a middle ear infection. I am highly emotional today, I want to cry and what I really want is to go home and get a hug from my Mother. I am 26 years old and you'd think I'd be capable of looking after myself by now. Turns out no, I'm not.

How this relates to my weight loss:

• I don't want to eat all day
• When I do eat, I make poor food choices
• I am emotion eating - choosing ice cream, and way more than is healthy
• I do not want to exercise (although it may not be a good idea to exercise when sick anyway)

Hopefully I will start to feel better soon as I don't want to undo all my hard work of the last month.

Points, Points, Points

I need to use all of my points. I have consistently only been using between 19 & 21 of my points when I have 24. So, my goal for the next week is to use 24 points exactly on each day. I have lost every week so far, however I want to keep losing every week!

Nothing else to say really, except I'm doing okay.
