Thankfully my rugby player build husband was good at lifting.. Thats why i chose him! Lifting and carrying! The only thing now is he is always lifting me up..when im washing up...cooking...cleaning...feeding the dog! Its like being a powerless child! I still hate being picked up!
I love your lists girls...so true x

That is interesting Niccie, that is exactly what I hope will happen with me, that money going out of the account each month will hopefully help focus things, plus that is money that we are both (OH & me) giving up instead of doing nice things with it, so I am hoping that our joint sacrifice will be worth it and will keep me on track.

Oh Gemma, what can I say!!! I have picked our some of your post that jumps out at me!
4. Going to concerts and not being able to fit into the t-shirts.
I had totally forgotten about this. I have always been devastated that I haven't been able to by Take That t-shirts when I have gone to their concerts - I even thought about buying them "just in case" I would one day fit into them..... I never did and boy now do I wish I had done
5. Being hot all the time.
Yeah, especially on holiday, I turn into a crabby sweaty mess then. That cant look good and I cant be nice to be around! We have a code word that basically means I have had enough, reached my limit and need to go inside to the air conditioning and cool off! I quite often snap, say the word and just walk off! It does prevent quite a few arguments though!
8. People analysing what you order at restaurants. Forget going into an ice cream shop.
Yeah, sometimes I don't order what I want because of this. Also, ordering a dessert I will usually ask for 2 spoons and "pretend" that OH wants to share, even if it is 100% for me!
9. Airplane bathrooms. Enough said.
Oh yes, I avoid going to the loo on planes, I just cant bend over far enough to pick up my trousers etc and pull them back up - my bum is too big! I was so relieved on my last flight to the USA that there was a disabled toilet that had enough room to move around in! Needless to say that toilet had a big queue all the time!
10. Tray tables on planes and sitting in the middle seat.
Yep, OH's table usually has my stuff on it as well!
15. Those desks with attached chairs at University.
some very embarrassing moments around these chairs - I work at a uni - nuff said.
18. Worrying when I hear a creak in a chair.
Yep, especially plastic garden chairs........ I did have a chair collapse on me at school. I never lived that down and think I am still mentally scarred now :cry:
20. Old-fashioned movie theater seats and stadium seating.
Oh yes, I usually try and book an aisle seat as it means I can spill out into the aisle. I always hope that the gap below the armrest is hollow with no metal so that my thigh can spread under the arm. this is not always the case. We have tickets to see the new Harry Potter play in July - it is two plays, one in the afternoon and one in the evening and we are not on the end of the row. I am worried about it but will deal with it at the time. We have an agreement that if it is too uncomfortable I will leave and OH can stay (I got the tickets for their Christmas present). I also worry about the person sitting next to me, I get embarrassed if I am in their space. However, I don't know why I worry as I have had to sit next to some thin men that spread out like a sprawling spider and don't seem to think twice about it.....
22. Summer clothing (sleeveless, short, revealing, definitely not fat-friendly)
Yep. Yep. Yep.

I have resisted the scales since 14th April . Tomorrow hubby and I will be off to Boots early , before I eat or drink liquids , to weigh ourselves ..
I excited but scared , I need to walk the walk now , and believe what I tell other people on here about their weight loss plateau and believe in it myself ..
My body is still healing , still coming to terms with what's happened inside me and at some point soon it's going to go in shut down , self protect mode .. But I'm still scared lol..
Had a good day at work , it was busy and I,coped on 2 smoothies and about a tin size portion of home made soup . Feeling a little bloated though now ...
A couple of customers have asked if I've lost weight and I've just said I don't know , maybe .. Caught a few looking at me with a quizzed looked on their faces also ..
An hour to go on this 10 hour shift and I'm just getting tired . This would be the point I would be sneaking out to the co op next door to grab something sweet , and maybe a bag of crisps ..
Just going to keep sip,sip,sipping on my sucky bottle of water and lime thank you !

Today I was using the self service tills at Tesco I was wearing a size 8 white gypsy skirt and a barbie pink top tucked in, the lady manning the S/S tills was staring at me, I'm thinking yup stare at the fat lady every one does, as I walked away after paying the lady smiled at me and said "you look so pretty, lovely and summery" and gave me a beaming smile

Well if I can believe my tape measure !
When I measured myself for the first time , my waist was 54 inches , same size as my daughters pigs waists before they went for slaughter
I was again tempted to step on my scales but I didn't , instead I measured my waist .
51 INCHES ! 3 whole inches ! .
I know it's bloat from the surgery mostly but 3 inches ! Check me out ! I have a waspy waste hahaha ! Happy happy happy ..
I'm trying to make what I think is an important rule for me .. And that's no eating after 7pm , not even fruit or yogurt , nothing .. If I want an options it has to be before 7pm .. Then after 7 , it's just flavoured water , will try to get maybe 750ml sippy bottle down me before sleep ..
I still have not had a cup of tea .. No clear reason for this either .. I have my lime water beside me , which I refill during the night , and I'm happy drinking that first thing ..
I'm pleasantly suprised by the changes that are happening in me .. I think my labido is stirring ( sorry lol ) . I found myself watching my husband walk through from the shower .
Hubba hubba !
Anyway , things are changing indeed
Are we all good !
Where's Blossom run off to anyway ?
BLOSSOM !!! Where you at girl !

My Facebook went a bit mental today as a group of us had been searching for some missing girls from 35 years ago where all worked .. They just seem to have suddenly turned up which is fantastic !
I'm looking at their profiles . Need I say more . They are stunning , slim and lovely ..
They want a reunion . My first thought was panic and trying to think of an excuse , anything to get me out of it .. Total meltdown .. I was 12 stone when we all worked together ..
It will be a 2 day thing ..
I've never even been to a school reunion , I just couldn't ..
Once the panic passed I realised I just might be able to this time .. By October I just might be looking good enough to be brave enough to go ..
This is a big thing for me , I loved this group of girls like sisters , we were all so very close at that time . It was the best of times during those 3 years working together . Best time of my life I'd say ..
This is another spur for me , another goal ..
And .. You know what ? , I'm going to drive our vintage red Audi soft top with the roof down , sunglasses on ,70s disco music blaring, and I'm going to look friggin fabulous !
