What a week. Lilli's 4th birthday party, end of term reports and assessment, tying up loose ends as I hand over the co-ordinating role at work + a house full of tradesmen and relatives. I have completely fallen off the wagon. Am not looking forward to weighing in tomorrow, I know it is going to be a gain, and that will be hard. As soon as I go off the program I start craving carbs/sugar, and find it so hard to get back on track. I have been trying usuccessfully for four days now.
On a more positive note, I no longer have a 'homestay student'. This is a relief and frees me up a lot. I feel I have a lot more available time. Also an email from DH this week was wonderful news. He has decided that I should spend the first 6 months after arriving in Bahrain, not working. Thinks it would be in 'our' best interest for me to focus entirely on getting heathy and losing weight.
I would really like to do this for both of us. Our relationship started online, and although I had told him I was overweight, it would have been more appropriate to say obese. I had sent him photos of me but they were three years old at the time. He has never seen me (RT) not seriously overweight. He was expecting me to be bigger than in the photos, but not as big as I was. I am even bigger now. I would love to be that healthy, energetic woman that wore interesting clothes again - for both of us. I was hoping that I could have lost enough weight to have at least looked OK in a pretty summer dress as I step off the plane in Bahrain - that looks pretty unlikely now. *sigh*

Shar you'll see the chocolate and peanut butter combo left my side bar a little while ago! I have spices there now!! I'm sorry it negatively influenced you! My current food weakness is meant to be an honest account of what I seem to be wanting more and more of.. during any given week. Sometimes it's cheese - recently it was also a home cooked meal (I had a pic up of Bombay Chicken). Being a Foodie's blog though I will always be posting food pic's.. so yeah.. maybe it is a good idea as you said to eat FIRST before heading over my way! But I do hope you continue coming back! I enjoyed reading this current post. I do feel for you.. and hear your heart..that you'd love to be just a bit lighter/healthier.. just to look good in a dress. I'd love to be able to wear dresses. I have no waist at the moment! From memory, I need to be in the low 70kg range to look 'acceptable' in a dress and that's 40-odd kg's away for me. So you're going to Bahrain! I hope you continue blogging and hanging around LITS and all of that stays the same? You *can* get back on track.. it is possible.. You know you don't want to go backwards any further than you have. Just start over.. just one day of change is all you need.. which leads to the 2nd day of change! But just one day at a time :-)
Sure! I'll meet you for hot chocolate at Max Brenner's if you come to Melbourne - be sure to let me know when you are heading this way! :-)
