not where I thought I could be.I now weigh12st 7as opposed to 13st 13.75 at the end of February beginning of March (though just before that I had tipped the scales at 14st 1. I found a supplement called Hoodia Gordoni and it has definately made a difference. I am quite confident that I will continue to lose the weight at a steady weight and have in fact been able to get into clothes I haven't even been able to get near for years. Honestly this supplement has made all the difference and I'd recommend anyone to try it if they are struggling as I was.
...got on the scales for the first time in 2009 I weighed13 st 10.5, not as bad as I thought but bad enough. I'm hammering the green tea and hoping for the best. Apparently also if you drink ice cold water as your 6-8 glasses a day this helps speeds up metabolism too, so I want to see if all these little bits of dietry advice when put together amount to actual weight loss. Watch this space.....
salutory p.s............. read if you think you are really struggling with a teenager at the moment.......
Several months ago I was sat talking to a patient (who has cancer) and asking how she was. Straight away she began telling me besides the cancer she was dealing with, she had problems with her 17 year old daughter. I rolled my eyes saying......"me too my son is so respectful to the outside world and does so much good but when he comes home at times he is so disrespectful I feel like I'm being bullied". I thought she was going to say "same here", but no her problems with her daughter have made me grateful and changed me for the better.
Who am I to complain and moan about my sons cheekiness when a woman with cancer is dealing with a daughter who has been groomed into prostitution, is addicted to drugs, has tried to hang herself after her mum called the police of her stealing, and causes her constant emotional pain on a daily basis? Ever since listening to the woman I have rationalised and been grateful that all I have to deal with is a moody teenager with an untidy bedroom, and I have never raised my voice once, since. I feel calmer and not ashamed to say I don't get angry if my sons ever swears in the course of our conversations (I remonstarte with him but I donot become angry). The woman and her daughter are now a permanent fixture in my conscience and my mind............and my heart.
g.p. again and she prescribed an anti depressant. I totally lack motivation or the inclination to do anything really. I have a bad shoulder, bad knee and generally feel lacklustre about everything. The place I can appear to be functioning is at work and when I come home I feel nothing but emptiness. I haven't even written out one Christmas card yet and had to make a conscious effort to switch the lights on the Christmas tree which has sat forlornly in the corner of the living room, next to the fish tank with no fish in that my son repeatedly refuses to do anything about (it's full of water and rocks and needs sorting out). I keep waiting for the spirit of Christmas to fill me from top to toe, however I'm still waiting for the first tingle and I've a feeling that tingle is a long time coming, if at all.
idea what I weigh and now see my Gp for body/weight issues. When I worked for her I didn't find her particualry sympathetic but I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to see her. I'm also using the gym at work via a referral from the physio & just getting on with working hard to keep up with the constantstream of rising bills that come in every day. Looking forward to a new year new me.
