Carmel8sons's Journal, 27 September 2008

END OF DAY

Its another Sat over, Have been extra good, Im still full after my dinner. Just watching TV. A pal phoned, Shes just got engaged, Shes 29. all her childhood she was over weight & up to 4 yrs ago she was getting bigger, she always had a very very pretty face and lovely eyes, then she got Crohns Disease, now shes about size British 8. even prettier than ever. She has been thru hell and back with this illness and has to constanlly attend hospital, she seems to have it all under control at the moment, So Today that bit extra special for us all. I know its hard to lose weight, and a constant struggle but I would not wish this illness on any1.



Fluffy Es journal. I was just reading her journal, and it hit me, 8yrs ago I was 22+ st. and I even had diet before I went to them, Doc and Hospital Dietitions have this weight recorded, so that meant I was 318+ at 1 stage. so thats over 81 lb recorded weight loss so far, but Im not using it, going to still use my weigh in FATSECRETS, as my weight loss guide. So Im staying so focus, Off to Doc now for my Asprin for my flight on Thurs.

BACK FROM DOCTOR well I saw a new Doc, my other Doc had stopped my painkillers, saying I would need to get along without them, Im not great for taking painkillers mysef, afraid of them, so many of my pals hooked on them, but this Doc nearly had war because she said with the pain I must be going thru with my leg,(eap at this stage) must be unbelievable, (at times it is) so prescribed some, Said reading my history knew I was senisble. Also agreed bout asprin, even thou other Doc said not really needed, DOCTORS differ patience Die. My own kids been asking me to changr Doc's but its hard been with him years. I came back relaxed and cared for. She's also made appointment to see heart and weight Doc in Nov. Had my first, after 10 yrs, cholesteral test, done in July ,Just after my hols, she said it def came back with irregular results for my liver,but told her it could have been because I had been drinking on hols and it was only a wk after.

ENERGIZED

I still feel so full of energy, Its my second Sat not sitting/lying on Sofa, YES Im sitting here now but Just had lunch, All my washing out and in already, few clouds showing, Would love go swimming again, and Kevin would have dropped me, but it would be child mad out there today. All the DINNERS for today and tomorrow, prepared, just ready to cook.

DINNER

Going to have my Chicken Breast with baked apples, grated carrot/onion, steamed carrots and my sinful thing, my Breadcrumb stuffing, but going try it without the butter.

If you think it won't be the same without the butter, try using half of the butter and a light butter! It could make all the difference in the world! I'm yet to see a doctor about my weight. I think I've just always been so damned ashamed of myself that I couldn't face someone else and say, "I can't do this on my own." *smile* You are doing absolutely fabulous! 8 boys? Oh my gosh, how do you still have your sanity?

8 sons, Now when I look back and watch all these shows BRING BABY HOME etc, I wonder my kids and I are normal. When I had my kids, last 1, 12yrs ago, I gave birth, brought them home and every1 of them just got on with it. Think there is 2 much worry bout how kids, (and I draw the line at animals) get on with the new baby, they are stressing new Mums and Dads too much. Kids love babies and once you give them little responisilibies and their usual hugs and love, they cope fine, I'll have to leave my stuffing till another day, I was starving, so had toasted sandwiches. No butter, 4 bread, 2 see through wafer thin ham, 1oz low low grated cheese and slices of onion, but yes I agree with you, ill def try the lowest spread, but sometines I spinkle a little water before I zap it and it keeps it moist. I went to Doc because I just felt something needed to be done and NO DOC would ever be cruel about losing weight, The appointment 3 months ago, he measured my waist, which is small, saw my weight, just said try lose something, just dont gain before you come back to see me, ????? I could have slapped him. Hopefully new felo will be more educated.

Some doctors CAN be so cruel... I had one tell me once that I was obese -- yes, it was true at the time! But I didn't need it rubbed in my face and just went home and cried. :( Wow, congratulations on the weight you've lost already Carmel... that's AWESOME and bringing up 8 sons, that's AWESOME too!! I have enough fun (umm??) with 3, who can all be so strong-willed and stubborn sometimes. I love them all to bits, but oh boy... they do try our patience sometimes don't they. Anyways, you keep up the great work and have a nice rest of your weekend. :o)

My pal said same as you, Doc asked her did she want to live till the following year, her husband nearly had war with him, but she had gained 7 stone in as many months, Yes boys are strong willed but as Im only woman in the house I always point out that We woman are multi-task and they can only do 1 thing at a time, 1 was cheeky enough when he was a teenager to prove it, So eldest and others set up tasks for us to do, and I won, " I also say to them "When God gave men their extra muscle, he had to connect their multi-task reasoning to it to get it to work" Cruel but true Ha ha
