Getting On With Life

By Groovybabe • Jul 31st, 2007 • Category: self esteem

Further to yesterday’s discussions on the scales, I have put a poll up in my sidebar - please participate in it as I am interested to know how often we all weigh in, please be honest!!

I have also put up an AJAX calender, that I am in love with, and my weekly stats. If you have any coolio functions in your sidebar and you use wordpress please do point them out. I love updating mine!

If you haven’t already, please do check out my weightloss forum. While it is predominately for the UK I want to encourage everyone to use it. It has threads for the US, Australia, NZ, Canada… if you want another country up there just say the word! Thanks to those who have mentioned it already on their blogs.

I don’t really have anything to mention weightloss wise today, I am just plodding along really. I don’t feel like I am dieting any more, being good has normalised itself in my life. I thought about going to the gym today but it’s not my day and I don’t want to overdo it. I am slipping on the water-front though.

I need a big holiday, I just need to get away again. My last big holiday was to Australia in 2005, where I spent a month alone roaming the country (Well, Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland) and I would really love to do that again. But I have no money and am currently job hunting, and I am about to take on a new tenancy so it’s not going to happen any time soon. I did have a small trip to rural-France earlier this year but I was just giving a family member some company as it’s not really my thing.

I want to go down under again! So, that is what I am going to do - when I reach goal. The two times before, I really enjoyed my holiday but everything I did I had fat-thoughts permeating through my consciousness. This kind of destroyed it for me in many ways. I know once I am slim I will be much more confident and more open to situations and meeting people. Life in general is just going to be so much better.

    I voted for never because thankfully, I do not own a scale. But it’s a bit of a lie because I do weigh myself when I visit my parents (like, 6 times a year perhaps). It’s weird: I started exercising and feeling really good and I weighed myself–and had gained 6 kilos!! I was so shocked and almost depressed! But before I knew I had gained 6 kilos I felt ok, and my clothes weren’t too tight on me or anything. That kind of convinced me not to think about scales, although progress is nice to follow :)

    I’m rooting here for you!
