Funnies

Being a fatty (well, not so much anymore), I feel I'm qualified to post this. ;)

You know you're too fat when...

10. When you get to the bottom of a stairway, your tummy takes one more step.

9. You go to the zoo and the elephants throw you peanuts.

8. You put mayonnaise on aspirin.

7. Your blood type is Ragu.

6. You learn you were born with a silver shovel in your mouth.

5. You ran away from home and they had to use all 4 sides of the milk carton for your picture.

4. You could sell shade.

3. Your driver’s license says, ‘Picture continued on other side.’

2. You are diagnosed with the flesh-eating virus, and the doctor gives you 22 more years to live.

1. You dance and it makes the band skip.

Another surgeon visit

And I don't have to go back for 3 months!! Yay! I weighed in at 102kg there, but at home I'm 101.6kg, so we only have a 400gm discrepancy, which isn't too bad. But this morning I was at my lowest ever of 100.6kg! SO SO close to double figures, under the elusive 100kg!

Anyway they (being the surgeon and his wife/assistant/dietician) asked how I was going, if I was happy, and I answered YEP. That last fill was the one, it hit the sweet spot, and I don't need any more filling up now. I only PB a little and that's usually when I'm not concentrating properly and don't chew properly. My meals are keeping the hunger at bay for a good period of time, and my portions aren't too big. All good!

I thought they might think my weight loss was a bit slow, but they are happy (as I am) with a lifestyle that is slow and steady and sustainable.

Just testing...

... to see if my little "like" and "dislike" buttons are at the bottom of this post.

Ok, they're not. Poop.

Hypnosis???

I saw a show last night on TV where a woman was hypnotised into thinking she had a gastric lap band, and lost heaps of weight!!!

I thought I'd google it, and it turns out it even has a name: Hypnobanding!!!

Here is one article: "Gastric Mind Band Helps Mum" if you're interested in looking.

So what do you all think?????

Yay for today!

A huge thank you to Emma over at My so-called lapband life for passing on some more clothes from the sisterhood. I got them today, and.... THE DRESS FITS!!!! It's a size 18 dress, super cool (zebra print) and I'm THRILLED that a dress in that size fits!! The top also *just* fits. Well it fits fine, but shows my love handles a little more than I'd like, but still fits. And the best news.... the size 18 jeans she sent JUST ABOUT FIT!! The only thing stopping me from getting into the jeans is my belly. And after 2 kids and 2 caesareans, I'm ok with that!! It will get there! So thank you for the clothes and for making me happy Em!!

Another awesome thing... last weigh in I was 101kg!!!!!! How damn close to under 100kg is that (don't answer, that's a rhetorical question LOL)???? SO SO HAPPY.

Today I did a huge workout at the gym, have started doing some weight training as well as cardio which is nice, I like it.

I have an appointment with the surgeon next week but I think I'll skip a fill, for the first time, I think I found the sweet spot. :)

TODAY IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!

Here I am!

Here I am, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, I was away.

I've had a week away with the family and I decided before I went that I wasn't going to worry too much about what I ate while away. I didn't completely throw abandon to the wind (is that the saying??) by gorging myself but I did eat things that were bad for me. I had quite a few things get stuck but that was my own fault for not concentrating on eating and not chewing properly.

I did do lots (and I mean LOTS) of walking as we were at a conference (Hillsong Conference in Sydney, Australia if anyone is interested) which was fairly spread out. There were lots of steps too (to our second floor apartment and at the venues, and on the ferries we went on, and up to the plane etc...) which my knees HATED. But no formal exercise all week.

So with no formal exercise and a diet that had chocolate and spring rolls involved, you'd think there would be bad news on the scales? Well I was pleasantly surprised! This morning I was 102.4kg, which is exactly the same as the lowest I've got so far! Great news for me! AND that is at TTOTM!!!!! Even better news!

But the BEST news of all... something I'd been *hoping* would happen... I DIDN'T NEED AN EXTENSION ON THE AIRPLANE SEATBELT!!!! First time!! I was so nervous putting it on. I *really* wanted not to need it, and when it went around me and clicked, with even a little give in it, I was SO SO HAPPY!!! Best NSV in ages.

The tape measure...

I was walking down the hallway and saw the tape measure (the kitten loves to play with it so it's always all over the house) and thought "ooh I haven't done that in ages".

Last measurements were on April 29:

* Chest 125cm
* Waist 129cm
* Hips 120cm
* Butt 127cm

To be honest my weight seems to be a bit stuck at the moment, I guess I'm on one of those horrid plateaus. It doesn't help that I'm probably not pushing 100% with my eating either, but we'll keep that bit quiet. ;)

So I grabbed the tape measure, and gasped!

* Chest 120cm
* Waist 121cm
* Hips 116cm
* Butt 124cm

That's 5cm off the ladies, 8cm (I repeat, 8cm) off the waist, 4cm off the hips and 3cm off my rear end in 2 months!!!! OH.MY.GOODNESS.

I have to stop caring what the scales say.

Ok I've repeated that a few times, hopefully it will sink in. LOL!

Oh and not that BMI is all that important, but I'm only 1 point off being "obese" not "morbidly obese" LOL! Hmm, that really doesn't sound so thrilling. HAHA!
