Health Link: Looking to gain muscle? Buy Valentine’s Day
By Groovybabe • Feb 14th, 2008 • Category: life, mental health, weightgainHappy Valentines Day everyone!
I have been awol, I know. I went out the weekend, and it was a really shit weekend, so I did not feel much like updating. I intended to on Monday but I didn’t weigh in so felt I had nothing to say. I meant to update Tuesday but things that happened on the weekend were reverberating into the week and really affecting my mood. The last few days I have been very seriously depressed. I don’t use that word lightly. Things were bad. I couldn’t even get out of bed on a couple of occassions and I was just a tearful mess. I even missed a gym workout yesterday and when I weighed in this morning I was 14.6, up from 14.2 a few days ago.
Things turned around for me a bit after lunch when I received a Valentines text from my friend-who-is-a-boy who I told you about the other day. Small thoughts really can be huge gestures sometimes. It helped me to remember all the good things and good people in my life, of which there are many.
I really need to get back into this weightloss. I am finding it quite hard to be motivated lately. I need to do weightwatchers again. I may start taking the tablets again for a bit, as I have a few weeks left over from when I was taking them before.
I bought a simple black dress for this weekend. It has an elasticated belt. I do like it, it looks good. My son walked in the room when I had it on and declared “You look nice!”, bless him. But it clings a bit and you can see my back-fat. I am going shopping with a friend tomorrow so I might see if I can get a control vest to wear underneath to hide it. I need control pants (knickers) too, to control my hips. It should be cool though.
Groovybabe is 14.9 stones today and has lost 2lbs at her last weigh in.

What a very sweet son you have! I know how hard it can be, to be so down that you wonder where your next breath could be coming from. I really hope that you get back to your full throttle weight loss, as I notice this seems to bring you up. It works for me, as well.
He is very sweet. One morning I turned up at my mums (where he was staying) after I’d been out and he was like “You look posh!” because I was still in my going out clothes. No matter I hadnt been to bed yet and looked as rough as old houses.
I am slowly coming out of the depression. Its slow and will take some time but I am doing everything in my power to speed it up.
I have started inputting into ww today. I havent weighed. I am going to try to avoid doing that until Monday now.
