Where on earth has this week gone! I'm a little sad with my .7kg loss this week. Bringing me down to 81.7kg and a total loss of 21.3kg,
The negatives are that the kids are sick, it has been so hot, I haven't been concentrating on my protein and I am exhausted. I ran out of my iron tablets a week ago and I really think that has affected me. I feel like I could go to bed and sleep for a week.
On the plus side I saw my GP on Friday and she is over the moon with my result. My blood pressure is behaving and the best it has been for a long time. I have reduced my medication doses and it should improve more and more.
Clothes are getting looser again and I know I need top consider a size 12 pair of work pants. That is such an amazing feeling.
The other little piece of goss is that after a brief stint at internet dating I am now "dating" a lovely, adorable and kind man. It is early early days but I am the happiest I have been in along time and he constantly amazes me with his words and actions.
Tomorrow night I will take my three month photos for the comparison - I really think there will be some big changes.

Week 11 - 20kgs gone!!!
So here is my weekly check in - this week I have lost 1.2kg, bringing my total loss to 20.6kg and my weight to 82.4kgs.
I have not been this weight for so many years. People keep looking at me in shock, especially those that I have not seen for some time.
I have been living it up a little too much and know that I am getting back into really bad habits with drinking wine. I am going to ease up a bit this week as I would LOVE to make my goal of being under 80kgs by 1st November. It is still totally possible but I will really have to be well behaved.

Week 10
So here are my weekly results... I lost 1.2kg this week bringing it to a total of 19.4kg. My weight is now 83.6kg.
When I first talked about doing the surgery I told my Mum that I would be stoked to loose 20kg by Christmas. She told me not to aim so high!
This week I have eaten out and I am really learning my boundaries. For dinner on Saturday night had a smidge of cheesy bread, with a main of herb crusted barramundi and a little tomato salad. I didn't eat all the fish but it was yummy. I also had eggs benedict for Sunday brunch - it was delish and although I only ate a little Turk's bread the eggs and ham went down really well.
My only trouble atm is heartburn - mylanta just doesn't cut it so I have got something a little stronger - lets hope it helps.

Date Night
I just wanted to let you all know that I went on my first date in 12 years last night. I bought a lovely new dress and heels and I must say - I felt fantastic. And the date went well too!

Week 9 - Slow and Steady
Well things have been a little slow this week - I have managed to have a .8kg loss, bringing my total loss to 18.2kg. My weight this morning was 84.8kg
I really was a naughty girl on the weekend, drinks with friends, dinner and drinks with friends and then dinner and drinks with friends again! Silly girl I am. I know that alcohol will hold things up but I have just been having so much fun and enjoying myself. Must STOP drinking!
So I am going to be extra good this week. I am so keen to get under 80kg and that is kicking me along.
The biggest change is how people have been treating me. For those who are on the bigger side you totally understand what I mean when I say that you often get ignored... in shops, trying on clothes. by men. Several times over the past week I have noticed that strangers of the opposite sex have been much more gentlemanly - opening doors, letting me go first... just little things.
On Friday I arrived at the lift, there was a man on the pay phone and as I waited for the lift to arrive I peered into the perspex sign to quickly fix my hair and adjust my blouse before returning to the office. I turned to find him still on the phone but smiling at me. The lift came and ended his call and hopped in. "Oh I am so glad I made it" he said... "I just wanted to tell you that you look beautiful!" Oh my is he talking to me! I blushed and said thank you. It is amazing what a comment from a stranger can do to lift your spirits. I think I have been on a high even since!
