  • Holiday Time!

    Soo.. in about 5 hours time I'll be up in the sky jetting my way to Tenerife!
    I'm so excited, just can't wait, can't believe I've waited nine months for this!

    I've managed to put together a decent holiday wardrobe including shorts, which I have never worn before.. and a last minute addition (literally) of a lovely purple beach dress. Add in about ten other tops, a pair of crop jeans, skirts and some gorgeous comfy sandals from Clarks I'm all set.

    I'm still worrying about being too heavy for the sunloungers (thats due to horror stories I've read about people lighter than me breaking them) but I guess we'll just have to see what happens.


    In regards to weight loss I spoke to my GP about my weight and he said he's going to ring my care team and see if I can try another medication that isn't Depakote to see if that will help.. I am over the moon and if they let me then I'll be among the stars :)

    Have a fab week everyone, I'll see you when I get back :D

  • 13 Days..

    I'm very excited now about my holiday to Tenerife, but I'm nervous too.
    I'm nervous cause I'm so overweight. Will the sunloungers hold my weight? Will I be sweating like the stereotypical fat person? Will any of my holiday snaps be good?
    I know I'll need a belt extender on the plane, they've already told me that.

    13 days to go anyway..

    Haven't been on Xanga for a bit, mainly because I haven't seen the point of maintaining a weight loss blog when I've been piling on the pounds for no reason.
    I'm currently 282lbs and slowly creeping up.

    I'm in a 24/26 bottom and 22 top.

    I'm kind of losing motivation. Well, lost it really.
    I do 45min a day on the bike and its doing nothing for me.. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle against myself!

    I hope all you girls are doing ok too.

  • Heyyy Yah.

    Just had that song pop into my head for some reason.

    280lb this morning. +6lb from last weigh in.
    No, I don't know what happened.

    Went on a shopping spree the other day to get some clothes. I think I did alright, got seven tops, two skirts and a pair of cropped jeans, plus a pair of sandals.
    I also treated myself to a point and shoot camera today, the Sony Cybershot W610. I got it in green, just cause I love the colour! I didn't want to take my beloved DSLR on holiday..

    I'm back to work in a week, I'm getting nervous now.
    Not looking forward to 9 1/2 hour days!

  • Day 12. Calling fashionistas/holidaymakers!

    Thanks for looking in!

    As you probably know I'm going on holiday to Tenerife in six weeks..
    I need to put together a capsule wardrobe to take, and pretty much all of it will have to be bought as I've not been on holiday abroad for quite some time.

    I'm a size 22/24 top and 24/26 bottom and my inside leg is 34".
    Where do I shop??

    I want cheap and cheerful really, I don't have much money to spend.
    I'm thinking flowing tops and a few pairs of pants along with some dresses and skirts?

    What shoes should I take? I'm thinking sandals (not toe post cause they irritate me) and something for when we venture up Mt Teide..

    I bought myself a swimdress from Marisota which is nice so at least thats one thing sorted!

    Any help/advice/tips much appreciated!

  • Day 10.

    Man.
    I am literally losing sleep over this holiday to Tenerife. Or more specifically, the flights.

    I'm so worried I won't fit into the seat.
    We paid for extra legroom seats and when the confirmation came through it said you can't sit there if you're obese. I'm going with my friend who's skinny as anything so I don't like to cancel them (plus I could really use the extra legroom) but am I what they class as obese? My BMI says I am.

    In other news I saw a doctor today who compared me to a frog on a lilypad. He said I don't respond to anything unless I get poked first. That's one way of putting it I suppose. He also said I shouldn't go back to work for another 2-3 months. How am I going to cope being off work that long!?
    I think I'll go back anyway when my sick note runs out on the 10th April.

    I had two giant sandwiches today and a piece of sponge cake.
    I feel so grotty now.
