Felicity's Weight Loss Journey

Hi my name is Felicity. I am 45, married 10 years November 05 and live in a small town in the middle of the South Island. I have been over weight since I was 11 and always hassled at school.

work work work

and today is my day off so did housework, a change is as good as a holiday they say....fibbers.

Been extremely busy week at office, I have decided I am jacking it in end of April, save up for our holiday and then that is it. Will be then down to only one job, did have 5 this time last year, won't it be bliss. Hopefully I'll have enough enegry then to look after the house and god I might even get some garden done. So 18 more weeks.

Had a nice phone call from my son this morning...probably the best talk we have ever had. Felt so good I can tell you, got off the phone and felt puffed up and pumped.

My days have been going well foodwise then at night I blow it and pig out on something bad.
I am not going to eat bad tonight I have had some cheeries and I am not having anything else.

Biked to work everyday last week. Tomorrow I have lawns to mow so that will be my exercise. Also have to bake something for morning tea Monday morning at work.

'TWAS THE MONTH AFTER CHRISTMAS:
T'was the month after Christmas and all through the house
Nothing would fit me - not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled - the eggnog I'd taste
All the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared
The wine and the rum balls - the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said: No thank-you, please.
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt.
I said to myself - as I only can
You can't spend a winter disguised as a man.
So - away with the last of the sour cream dip
Get rid of the fruit cake - every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie - not even a lick
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick
I won't have hot biscuits - or corn bread - or pie
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry - I'm lonesome - and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle - no longer a riot
Happy New Year to all & and to all a Good Diet!!!
