Here I Go Again

Had the surgery - didn't go as well as planned.

Took 4 hours and have had lots of problems since I'm still not supposed to be using my arms and it's still painful after 5 weeks, but they are much much better than they were.

Unfortunately it looks like the left one will have to be done again, but I'm still thinking about it.

On another note I shall be in the "Fit Squad" in "The Sun" newspaper next week.

Hope everyone is well

Have the date for my surgery on my arms - 21st September.

1 week after my birthday

Keep your fingers crossed for me

So I'm off to London tomorrow for a makeover and more photos.

Obviously I'm an old pro at posing now , but I'm dreading the makeover and being "messed" with. I'm such a happy little soul

I'm frightened I'll be caked in makeup and end up looking like Cruella Deville!!

I'll let you know when you can see the results.

I shall be in Full House Magazine - Issue 25 out on 14th June (if anyones interested of course).

Thanks everyone for your comments on my goodbye. I'm not quite sure why I can't keep a blog, but the rule must be there for a reason.

I'm really enjoying being a Counsellor and obviously I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardise that

So if you're near me and would like a Counsellor my details are now on the Cambridge Site http://www.cambridge-diet.com/newccinfo/19592.html (with my lovely flattering photo I might add )

No - it's not one of those dramatic goodbyes, but unfortunately I do have to say goodbye.

I've had confirmation from Cambridge today that I can keep this blog online, but as I'm now a Counsellor I'm not allowed to add any more text to it.

I shall keep on reading all your blogs.

I've enjoyed writing this over the past year and getting to know you all.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{huggggggggggggsssssss everyone}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

p.s. if anyone wants my mobile number drop me a private message (it will be on the Cambridge site for everyone to see soon anyway).

I know I'm obsessed - I just typed "Diet" instead of "Die" for the title

On Friday my family always have a takeaway, and I somehow managed to convince myself (and my hubby) that if I had a chicken kebab, with salad, it would add up to the same as my chicken portion, carb portion and salad that I have for my 1000kcal evening meal.

However, I was a good girl (I can be you know!!) and told him not to bother. Had cottage cheese, tuna and sald with balsamic vinegar instead. But I was sooooooo tempted !!!

I have to realise that I'm going to have to be careful for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, just because I managed to lose weight easily doesn't mean that it's going to stay off so easily. Especially when that naughty little voice in my head starts up again Any ideas how to get rid of her???

I haven't been around much lately or commenting on your blogs, but I've been busy (yep I am sometimes ).

So to update you all. I'm now a fully accredited Cambridge Counsellor, and have had my first client. I've been to the bank and set up a proper business account. My dining room is now turned into my "Cambridge" room and is full of everything Cambridge

My weight is steadily still going down (not very good at this stabilisation lark!!!) On Friday my weight was 10 stone 13 - I had to take a photo of the scales with me standing on them, because the last time I was 10 stone something it was 1985!!!

Oh and a poke in the eye for feminisim I was heckled and shouted at by builders who wanted to show me their tools I was totally disgusted Oh ok I suppose it's not too bad for someone edging closer to 40 than 20 and been morbidly obese for the majority of their life. I was always terrified by builder before in case they made some comment about my size.

PR manager from Cambridge is coming later, so have to tidy up the house and make sure sons are suitably warned to keep down the music and not play guitar full blast!!

I've promised hubby I won't agree to do Playboy I'll let you know how I get on.

Had a few sticky moments last week. Everything was sooo much easier when I didn't have to eat. All the moaning I did about wanting to eat normal food again, and when it comes to it, its driving me mad. For some reason last week I started getting cravings for really sweet things. I caved in (see I am human!!!)and ate an oreo (you know, one of those American cookies) and a small apple. I felt so bad I was soon texting my Counsellor telling her I wanted to Sole Source again. I knew that I couldn't and that I would never finish my stabilisation stage if I did, but I think I just needed a bit of reassurance. Everything is now back on track and normal again. Cravings went as soon as they came
