Well it's official, I'm in the 10s. I was dancing round the bathroom this morning. Been waiting for that reading for weeks and finally got there.
I do wish I lost weight quicker but so long as we get the results in the end then I suppose it's ok.
So it's my works Christmas meal on Saturday. 3 courses and a disco. No-one knows about my band at work so I'm wondering how I will leave food on my plate without someone passing comment.
I've decided to drive so I will stay in control of my portion sizes and won't be tempted to tell anyone of my surgery if I'm sober.
When I think back to how I felt this time last year......no clothes fit me, I looked puffy and ready to burst and was getting breathless at the slightest thing. Even my legs wouldn't stay crossed!!!!!!!!
Someone at work won an award and as as their manager I was told I had to be part of her success photo, along with my line manager who is a size 6/8. Well this photo was put in the hospital magazine where I work and also the local newspaper.
I was horrified when the pics were released and felt so ashamed that I could let myself look like this......I never told my family that I was in the paper, so it went unrecognised thankfully.
This week I have been asked to take part in a nurses recruitment video for my hospital. I am being filmed on Friday talking about my career progression as I've worked there for 30 years on January 5th. Although I still need to lose at least another stone, I feel so much better about it than my heart sinking last December.
I'm sure we are never completely happy with ourselves for so many reasons, but not hating myself now is a big step up from 12 months ago.

Hi, just checking in as not been on here over Christmas. Looks like everyone had a good time. I had a lovely time although I worked quite a lot of it. Put on a couple of pounds but back on the wagon now and looking forward to achieving my goals this year.
Felt so much better in my clothes this Christmas and actually wore a couple of dresses.
Have even bought a few bits in the sales. Hubby got me a lovely fitted coat and long boots for my Christmas pressie which I love.
Can't wait to be thinner so I can buy some knee length skirts to wear with my boots. They even have high - ish heels. Couldn't wear them when I was bigger as they off-set my balance and hurt my back.
Well, it's lovely reading all your updates...I wish everyone all the best and lots of happiness for 2015 xx

So, went back to Weight Watchers last night after missing 3 weeks due to working over Christmas.
Pleasantly surprised that I've put on 2lb which I can cope with. That should be off by next Tuesday then onwards and downwards nearer my goal.
Started the New Year on a good mental note so long may it last.
Out for a small carvery tonight with the kids as hubby away in London working overnight.
Day off to myself tomorrow so off out to visit my lovely friend then back at work on Friday.
Just thinking that this time last year I was a month off having my band fitted, felt sluggish, fat and miserable. Now I can walk in a room and not wonder what everyone must think of me as I feel normal......will feel even better at my goal but for now that will do me.
Take care, chat later xxx
