Fat Girl saves the world - September 2006

Quick! In here...there's wax strips....

September 30th 2006 05:41

So I'm about to get myself in to tip top condition and go out to face public execution and the third degree. Why do I put myself into these situations? why do I stress, get excited, stress again and wind up coming home more confused then when I left? Yes, Im going home, back to the judgmental cess pool that is my home town.

I wonder why we do it to ourselves, worry about going home. Home is where the heart is, right? I mean, when Im where I live, I refer to home as where I grew up....when I get out there, I refer to home as where I live....am I a complete loser who doesnt know where her heart is? Seriousy, I think I have this gypsy blood, that doesnt want me to be tied down, kept in one place for any longer than I can stand. Im usually good at identifying my crap. Like, self diagnosing my own psychological fishizzle and dealing with it. Yet, I get anxious, every single time, and people, these are the people I love, who I grew up with, trusting them and hanging out, sharing and caring

Got milk?

So I've been a litte lazy, or maybe a little busy and I havnt posted for a week or so.... so shoot me. I've made some life changing decisions in the past week, ate badly, made a friend cry and had one of the most hottest kisses of my life. So Im guessing the busy description is the one Im going to go with.

Lets start with the life changing decision. I, Fat Girl, decided that I am moving on and out and away....woohoo! As of January, Im going to be a city girl, Im heading to my states capital and Im going regardless of if I have a job or not. Im guessing by now people are calling me crazy, and telling the screen that I should get it together. Well, I do have it together! Im applying to all sorts of positions and looking for whats going to be available when I get there. Ive also got a friend, and funnily enough, we both have the same first name...and she wants to make a clean break from where she is a fresh start in the same city, so we decided that we should go together. Which is brilliant

This little piggy cried wee wee wee...all the way home.

This is self congratulatory post. Im about to wade in my own abiltity to say no and mean it. To follow through with it and not feel guilty afterwards. How did I get to be writing this post you wonder? Well...

...I finished work very late last night. I brought a salad in for lunch so I could have a frozen dinner while I tried to get through the backlog of stuff that seems to creep up on me like the psychopaths in the worst written thrillers. I got home, got into my pjs and went to bed. I struggled to wake up and get ready for work this morning, and in that struggle, I neglected to shove some bread in the toaster or pour some cereal into a bowl. So I packed some breakfast fruit to have mixed with yoghurt once I got to work. On the way in though I had to detour to one of our other offices, and in doing so, discovered I was starving. At this point, I could have walked into the bakery which is opposite the Yeppoon office or I could get into my car, get to my own office, get the yoghurt and eat breakfast. So I did just that

Price check...can I get a price check please?

So last night, I toddled back into weight watchers...smiled, lips tight at the lady behind the reception table and moved along to the queue for the scales. I find this is the time I reflect most on my past week. What I ate that I shouldnt have, congratulate myself for getting up 20 minutes earlier to go for that extra long walk and hope like crazy the effort pays off. Then when it's eventually my turn, I kick off my thongs and step onto the scale and wait for the inevitable beep.

This week being a little firmer with myself paid off. 1.1kg for the week, 3.5 for the total 3 weeks I had been taking part in the program. I smiled, a real smile this time...and let my happiness shine through a little. Im not too sure how Im going to react the week I either gain or plateau. I think Im going to be mildly devastated. Which isnt going to be a true reaction from myself. I want to not just change my body weight, I want to make changes that last a lifetime, I want to identify why I am the way I am and then when I get to where Im going, know where it is that Im coming from because I really dont want to be at this place again

Can I get a glass of blah blah blah with that?

September 11th 2006 22:17

Ok, so I've pretty much decided to do the one thing that I was never going to do...make my weight loss journey public. Somebody please applaude my self-less-ness here...

So, I guess, for the last 8 years or so, Ive been very heavily invested in getting through school, university and getting myself set up in my working life. And neglected my body. I wasnt really paying any attention to myself, the outside of me, everything I was doing for myself was either going straight to increasing my knowledge or creating the best possible start for my future. If anybody asked me if I had issues with my body, I usually just shrugged it off and gave a very general answer of being comfortable in my own skin and content with the way things were. I mean, I felt comfortable to the degree that I was happy to admit I could lose a few kilos, but I wasnt about to go strutting down town dressed soley in spandex. Yuck. Im all for self confidence, but a concise mirror and some actual insight into the fact that packing extra pounds into 2 sizes too small jeans and a baby tee just isnt a hot look goes a long way in my book
