I’ve savaged myself into a state when I now am officially viewed as a type II diabetic. I have fatty liver disease, diverticulitis, AF, arthritis and benign non positional vertigo. So all in all going well. I had a bit of a breakdown and left work, which I loved, because of not being able to cope with everything!!! I’m so unhappy!!! My problem is not doing anything about it ... plus my lovely hubby, who seems to be a feeder, doesn’t help!!!! I’m eat rubbish......my ‘go to’ for everything is food .... happy-eat, sad-eat, cold-eat, hot-eat, celebrate-eat, commiserate-eat ... see my drift?<br />
Today I’ve had my bloods done to see which medications the doctors want to put me on! Can’t wait to find out!!!!<br />
This depresses me even more, yet I’m sitting here eating M&Ms!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Enough Said! I need help... but where do I go!?!?!?!?<br />
<br />

To be honest I've been very busy with getting myself better, being in hospital, again, with a scare, work (full time now) and getting my eldest to University! He's only been there a week and I'm missing him .. he's having a whale of a time though.... party, party party!!!!<br />
Youngest is, having just started sixth form, enjoying life too ... party, party, party .. though, finishing at more sociable hours!!!<br />
Well I have, once again, joined SW .. I had to find one that I hadn't failed at ... luckily, a lovely little group in the next door village and it's over the side of town where I work, so I can just go there straight from work! Result!<br />
My weigh in was a bit of a shocker!!!!! but in three weeks I've lost 7.5lbs.. so that's ok!<br />
I'm trying to lose enough, so it shows, a bit, by Christmas!<br />
Here's hoping!!!<br />
<br />
Happy Days!<br />

<div>
My health is in a terrible state, my body is falling to bits.. </div>
<div>
I now have;</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Arterial filberation</span></div>
<div>
Oesto arthritis in knees, hands, wrists</div>
<div>
Diverticulitis </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm at the state where I don't even look at myself in mirrors anymore... my body disgusts me, let alone anybody that has the misfortune of looking at me! (A think my ex taught me!).</div>
<div>
The more I loath myself and tell my self off about the weight gain, the more I eat junk food.</div>
<div>
One of the big problems also is the fact that I'm in full time work (a job that I love) and am knackered when I get home (probs because of all the excess weight I'm lugging around) so don't stand around chopping vegetables etc...</div>

Not only is it wrecking any chance of recovery for my knees, it's costing me a fortune in Gaviscon as all this crap food I'm eating is playing havoc with my insides.. So, I think, fingers crossed, that tonight, I might join good ole SW again but at another group! Of course I know damn well if anything resembling an excuse turns up I will grab it with greasy fingers and not go!!!</div><div><br></div><div>My sore knee's really getting me down, and, because I'm relying on a crutch too, my neck and shoulder are suffering! My legs are very swollen and bulbus and my clothes look AWFUL, that's mainly because I got rid of my larger sizes when I lost the three stone I've now put back on!! The result of all this is me not wanting to be seen in public!!!</div><div><br></div><div>Ho hum</div><div>Happy Days!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Nikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14309939796569986505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086084424878986765.post-44193904445986546672015-07-03T03:55:00.001-07:002015-07-03T03:55:09.027-07:00I hate, hate, hate myself!That is all!Nikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14309939796569986505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086084424878986765.post-2046798053142778692015-06-16T06:28:00.001-07:002015-06-16T06:36:51.629-07:00Ugh!Well, this is still my view!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipbogw-7sIuDkijy35gh38HzqEBD8Cqc4yAcTxP2FAcG_x3LzYEteRVGnnhK8yEYuxMFslTE-WMcUvDlJPLWNr4QdALOUye4ZzsxC9w-UVuZdxtq5hOBnhSMSdb000veRGf3n011Mjq1c/s640/blogger-image-171563643.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipbogw-7sIuDkijy35gh38HzqEBD8Cqc4yAcTxP2FAcG_x3LzYEteRVGnnhK8yEYuxMFslTE-WMcUvDlJPLWNr4QdALOUye4ZzsxC9w-UVuZdxtq5hOBnhSMSdb000veRGf3n011Mjq1c/s640/blogger-image-171563643.jpg"></a></div><br>

Everything hurts! My knees, my back, my arms, my feelings ... all gone to pot!<br />
Let's hope I can climb out of this pit of unhappiness real soon!<br />

We were paying £100 every twelve weeks, and we weren't geting support from our leader. How do we know this! Well, before we moved to this group we had a fab group where the leader was the most supportive, encouraging, caring, motivational person ever.... She cared for us as a person, felt our sadness, rejoiced in our happiness, supported our individual journeys ... I lost a lot of weight with her and in July.. Moved to this group...

I went to the health food shop to get my golden linseed, after work, while hungry! Not my best move!<br />
5 minutes later I came out with said linseed, peanuts and raisins in chocolate and a mix they call Roulette! Again, another bad move on my part!<br />
I got home and then, wait for it, proceeded to eat my way through, not only one, but, each of the bags of mixed nuts! Really bad move!<br />
Today, my sad, diverticulitis riddled gut is SORE! All my own doing!!!!<br />
Goodness only knows how many syns I consumed!!!<br />
<br />
Today I'm drinking lemon water and feeling not only sorry for myself, but really really annoyed with myself and stupid!!!!<br />
<br />
Ho hum!<br />

No surprises there then ...<br />
I know, for sure, I turn to food whenever I'm sad, lonely, stressed .. you name it, I feel it therefore I eat!!!!<br />
I took the BBC test after watching the programme they put on because this week is obesity awareness week!<br />
<br />
This week has been pretty stressful I must say .. goodness only knows what the scales will reveal!!!<br />
<br />
Happy days! x<br />

We ended up going out to Van Hague in Peterborough ... I didn't have a decent breakfast, needed to eat, ended up eating junk and buying even more junk!<br />
Two things, eat a proper breakfast and don't buy food when hungry as you end up with junk!<br />
Lesson learnt ... again!<br />

I'm so not in the zone ...<br />
It's rubbish!<br />
Hopefully going to group tonight to get my mind back into the right place!<br />
<br />
How does Fruit and nut, crisps and a mince pie fit into the SW healthy lifestyle???<br />
I've pushed, pulled, squeezed and cajoled and actually, it doesn't!!! 'nuff said!!!<br />

So .. this is why ..... this week ..... <br />
Our lovely adopted rabbit had to be put down ... we had her for about 18 months ....she was a lovely, deaf, free roaming little thing who, after nine months with us, would allow me to stoke her! I will miss her and her little twitchy nose!<br />

<br />
One of Little Blue One's fish left us too!<br />
Little Pink One had a sickness episode at school ...<br />
I put on 2.5lbs!!!<br />
A migraine (hadn't had one for a long while!) <br />
Casualty on tv last night!!!!! What a shock! Me and Little Pink One cried and cried!!!!<br />
<br />
Then to add to that .. and I'm really sad about it .. my new job, which I love, is giving me backache!!! Now, I reckon I need words about how low the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet is and needing a new chair! I really want to stay there!<br />
<br />
So, this week I need to lose my gain, have a little chat to my boss, brace myself for the next episode of Casualty and de- rabbit the garden so I don't keep spying her hutch and run (both of which she hardly ever used anyway!).<br />

What's been going on!... <br />Well .... <br />1) I've just started a new job, as my previous one was beginning to take a toll on my knees and back (it wasn't the job I took on! When I started there it was a home ware gift shop with lovely little gifts, cards, art .. things like that .. then we became a stockist for Annie Sloan paint .. which, by the way, is FAB! but, carrying pots of paint or crawling round on the floor looking for tester pots just wasn't what my knackered old body could do ~ now, in my mind I might be a sprightly 21 year old, but my body says 'hang on there you .. you can't do that!') .. so, sadly I had to leave! Having said that, after two days at my new job I'm loving it and it's still great! Lol! And I knotch up a bit of body magic to and from the workplace! So that's good!<br />
2) Without the betablockers, my energy levels seem to have gone up, so that's fab!<br />
3) My Little Blue One is settled in sixth form (after a very wobbly start at a different sixth form!) .. one relieved Mummy here I can tell you ...<br />
And ....<br />
4) My weight is coming off ... v e r y s l o w l y!<br />
It's all good though .. so for now<br />
Happy Days!<br />

What am I doing?!?!?!<br />
Now, there are a few things that I'm stumbling over ...I am missing my babes who are away for two weeks, I am having my bathroom and cloakroom gutted and furnished so there are workmen in the house, all my counter tops are just dust and I'm getting them biscuits (which, because I've no willpower whatsoever, I'm eating!!!) and I'm really fed up of just not feeling right!<br />
But, why does this make me eat rubbish???????<br />
<br />
I'd gained 1.5 last week and I can only assume it will be a monumental gain again this week!!!!! Roll on Thursday to see!!!<br />
<br />
Trying to start this holiday week off with better intentions ..<br />
I've just made roasted vegetable soup for lunch and we took delivery of this yummy looking box of fruit and vegetables ...<br />

It's rubbish! I really need to re focus!<br />
Must get back to my SW group properly .. I know for a fact that all I've done these last few weeks is gained weight!!!! <br />
At this moment in time I really hate myself, though, I do know it's not all my fault!<br />
This week I've been to and from the hospital getting monitors, then checked in with my GP again ... <br />
Roll on September when I get to see a proper cardio consultant!<br />
<br />
Ho hum .. watch this space for my gain!!!!<br />

I'd had a lovely time with my father, gone to see the sea... came home Friday night went to bed as normal but was awoken in the wee small hours of 19 April with a feeling that I had two doves fighting in my chest! I ended up in a&e having gone by ambulance to the hospital! I was released four days later! It seems I have AF. Once again I can't fault the nurses or the doctors that were there, needless to say though, that there were not enough of them!!! It turns out that Easter weekend is NOT a good time to be in the hospital! It seems no doctors work over the Easter period!!!! As of today I feel okay though totally exhausted!!! Apparently the beta blockers do that to you! The doctors were pleased that I had lost so much weight, and said I should carry on doing the same thing!! And Thursday, I went for a health check at my doctors and it turns out I have a very very low risk of heart disease, the weight loss has helped this! I wonder though what all this has done to my weight atm... bet it won't be the three stones tonight!!!!!

I was a half pound short of my 3 stone before I rushed into hospital in Oct 12! <br />
It's been a long time coming!!!! <br />
Might not achieve it this coming Tuesday but it will be mine REAL soon! <br />
Once again though, like the anniversary last October of me going into hospital, I'm slightly apprehensive about getting there ... weird I now, but ... well, we'll see!<br />
<br />
Happy Days!Nikihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14309939796569986505noreply@blogger.com0
