This reminded me of my youth when I used to have Friday nights out with the girls . One of my friends always had her passport with her and when I asked her why she saiid in case I meet Mr Right and he wants to whisk me off to paradise it spoils the moment if I say hang on got to go home to get my passport !Well you never know, so it is good to be prepared!
lolhehe Zandy baby stop being so down on yourself!!!! yes you want to lose weight, yes you want tight skin!!! this is normal stuff, no one is ever satisfied with themselves, well maybe super models but probably not even them, you've just swapped one problem for another but the new problem is a healthier one, be proud of yourself, your amazing (if a bit baggy) your skin will stretch back in timeand if not it will be a trophy for all your efforts
Some songs have popped into my head so I am going away to listen to them.
NIckelback - If today was your last day
Coldplay - Everything's not lost
So when you've done that listen and bop around to Katrina & The Waves' "Walking on Sunshine".
(says he having listened to The Smiths' four albums back to back yesterday ...)
sorry for my late reply, glad you can see the positive over the mother hood and how you are tougher to from all the things your body has been through, it can be sad times sometimes and in can relate to that,some times i look at my body and wish i looked how i was younger slimmer, so i am aiming for that now to get my weight to it's norm, the scars will ever go away yet i know they are special ones reminders of the babies lol, sending you big hugs and positive good health for now and futire, you can and will achieve your goals xxThe scars ( there are many) and stretch marks on my body are a reminder of a life lived to the full. The stretch marks are the price I paid for being a mother to the wonderful people that my children have become. The scars from surgery and accidents are a reminder that I have been through some terrible times, and survived. Show I am tougher than I look.
I won't deny, the scars and stretch marks do pee me off sometimes though.
Jesus, you deserve a medal. I hate Morrissey with a vengeance.
Marr is brilliant.. It's just Morrissey I can't be doing with. Beautiful jangly guitars then some really dire lyrics and tuneless whining on top. I'll stick to the early Waterboys and Lloyd Cole, though my iPad has the biggest load of cheesy pop on its iTunes ... David Cassidy and Barry Manilow help my exercise on bike.. Not sure that's not because I race through it to turn them off ;-)Haha yes he's a bit marmite isn't he - I like The Smiths more for Johnny Marr's guitar though.
Zandy baby! Hahaha. Love this.hehe Zandy baby stop being so down on yourself!!!! yes you want to lose weight, yes you want tight skin!!! this is normal stuff, no one is ever satisfied with themselves, well maybe super models but probably not even them, you've just swapped one problem for another but the new problem is a healthier one, be proud of yourself, your amazing (if a bit baggy) your skin will stretch back in timeand if not it will be a trophy for all your efforts
I can identify with most of this, having in the last few years lost 40kg. With still a long way to go before I am out of obese range BMI. I cover my flappy skin with nice new clothes that hide the excesses. I am in a plateau stage with weight loss, and I don't like it, but maybe it is my body's way of caring for the overall wellbeing. So rather than plateau I am thinking it is weight loss / metabolic adjustment / weight loss mode. I know I ought to have done something years ago, but I couldn't then, but can now. So can you. I see it as I am getting older, bits of me will start to fail, but rather than look at the negatives, I am trying to look at the positives. Working life and child rearing years done, so too the caring for elderly infirm parents, time to do what I choose, rather than what I have a duty to do.Hi, this morning I am not doing well. It stems from what I said yesterday about my skin not shrinking. I'm not sure I want to carry on with this anymore. I can't cope with how my skin looks already and I haven't lost 2 stones yet. I could do with a plateau phase right now. I'm well used to being fat, I'm not used to being wrinkly and old. I would like to gradually increase my calories, but I am struggling to eat 1200 at the moment. I don't want to eat at all. I am sick of protein and fat. I want a chip butty. Why did no-one say 'be careful what you wish for'? Hubby was wonderful about it this morning, but I still have horrid skin.
OK, here's my thoughts to myself after reading the above paragraph.....Oh for God's sake grow up, all this fuss because you are getting what you wanted. Does it really matter what your skin looks like? No-one is going to look at it anyway. So you're getting old - some people don't have the chance to get old. Whose fault is this anyway? You should have done this years ago. OK so you 'couldn't do it then', couldn't be bothered more like. How many years is it since you cared what you looked like? So why start worrying about that now? So decide what you are going to do about it, stop whinging and get on with it.
Some songs have popped into my head so I am going away to listen to them.
