As it happens i'm getting through the water ok, i'm struggling from about 5 well till i go to bed to be honest, the only day i get off of work is a saturday which at this present time i'm thankful for i do need to keep busy, i'm also pleased i gave up smoking when i did i couldn't have coped with craving those as well, Angie i'll see ya there, not long now

Yes I agree, the evenings are really hard, thankfully I've been working long hours so I've been knacked by the time I get in. It really is easier when you are working as you've got something else to occupy yourself with! You must be so proud keeping off the cigs! It would have been awful doing both! Yup, see you bright and early next Tuesday girl, can't come soon enough!

8lbs gone :bliss: Tonight will be a test though going out for a surprise dinner (my aunts 60th) Lucky for me i know the man in the kitchen so i have given him a list of veg i can have & he is going to make me a soup.....phew, although i think its gonna be a hard evening!!

 

[angie790]

Goodness, poor you Em, I really don't envy you having to go out, I've turned down 3 invites in the last week because I don't want to be tempted! Mind you, it sounds like you have been very prepared so I am sure the food side will be fine, hope you have a lovely time! xx

 

[dottychic]

Stay strong Em, tonight will be a real test for you but just think its sooooooooo close you can almost touch it 9lbs is a great loss What a brill start to your Weight loss journey X

 

[Dell]

Oh goodness me a night out!!! You are braver than me, I am turning into a hermit for two weeks from tomorrow Hope it went well and the rest of your pre op goes smoothly xx

 

[seawaves]

Well i have discovered hell! Sitting on a table with 19 other people eating my favourite foods & me well lets not go there......i was ok until they bought out the fruit covered in chocolate thought i was gonna throw a hissy fit It was probably one of the hardest things i have done, but do you know i got through it, & i'm proud of that!
My nan & dad decide to give me the why are you doing this chat :sigh: my answer, i started this journey at 24stone i have lost just over 3 stone & kept it off because i've had to, if i wasn't on this journey i would probably be hitting 30st, not alot they could say to that

 

[angie790]

Good on you Em, so proud that you made it through, you are definitely a braver person than me. I agree with Dell, I've been a virtual hermit these last 10 days!!! Y'know, I keep wondering why time & time again people ask us why are we doing this...and then only thing I can come up with is that for some of us, I assume we do such a great job of covering up that internal feeling of loathing, that others really don't know how much we detest ourselves at this size. Anyway, WHOOOHOOOOO!!!! 4 days to go!!!!

 

[Glenville]

Well done Em for your strength on your evening out. So close now, you are so going to rock! Good luck. xx

 

[dottychic]

Wowser! You did it!! Well done Em....thats really an achievement, I think Id have jumped on the table and scoffed the lot Not long now and it will be so worth being good when they open you up to fine a teeny tiny liver x

 

[seawaves]

Oh Poo i've just eaten a chunk of cheese :break_diet: i think getting through that meal last night has in reality tipped me over the edge, i've been hungry & grumpy all day today......oh well i'll just have to drink more tonight & tomorrow is another day!!!!!!!!

 

[slimmerkay]

EXACTLY, tomorrow is another day! Don't fret it hun. One small chunk of cheese is not going to blow you liver up like a puffa fish

 

[dottychic]

Aw dont be too sad, its not like you just had a 3 course meal.......Loads of people had a little lapse on the milk diet and they were ok. You will be fine x

 

[Dell]

WELL DONE TO YOU!!!!!! That's awesome to get through that I have had SO many people tell me I am "not big enough" to need the op - then I tell them I weigh over 20 stone and have a BMI of 50 and their jaw drops and they shut up!!

 

[hsmel]

Dell - I love it!!! pmsl. Have had that said to me too - and to be fair I am only just under 18 stone but heck its how you feel inside and how you just KNOW without this help it will be an extra stone or a few more every year . . and it is usually the people who are size 12/14 who tell you that you are not 'fat' and 'lovely as you are'. The truth is we are overweight and unhealthy because of it and we are taking steps to improve our health and lifestyle.

Well done Em - not at all sure I could actually face sitting round a table while others eat. I would probably have to chew the table in my anguish.

Well done Em, you're doing brilliant. Sending hugs xxxx
