The month of "Will"

I often have to have the patience of a saint as I am a secondary school teacher. And that's just to deal with some of my colleagues - lol! Then there are the kids..... Sometimes I have fantasy moments like in Alli McBeal. Just once when dealing with idiots, I would like to rein act the following scene from Pulp Fiction. It's the line at the end which grabs my attention. You've had an horrendous time and I hope this makes you smile. Apologies in advance for for the swearing......
 
Thank you Chick. I like your sense of humour so I'm sure it would have made me laugh. Unfortunately due to my hearing problem I couldn't hear a lot of it, but I got the gist lol.

Oh, Smartie, so sorry to hear of last weekends problems, that's horrid stuff you had to deal with. You're right though it is cathartic typing it out, I find that too. I hope things are getting better for you now.

Well, yes I think I am doing OK so far, I am doing/planning more things I really want to do and trying to assert myself more so that I can be my true self. I'm not quite sure who I am sometimes, so it's fun finding out.
 
I'm still looking for the positives. I've had to find room in my wardrobe for his clothes so spent Fri eve ruthlessly going through my clothes. Got rid of huge bin bag of too big stuff, ranging from 16~24!! Now only got 12's & 14's in there yay. Dumped load of kitchen stuff too. Why did I have 3 toasters any way? lol. He was a chef so has every knife, utensil & appliance known to man! Threw out all out of date food & stuff that I know I shouldn't be eating (although I have to admit I did suck a cola cube before binning the lot lol). But my OCD is raging out of control atm. Bless him, he thought he was helping by putting food away in cupboards, but it's in the wrong cupboards, not alphabetized or in size order, I'm working on that lol. But we are together, He's starting to look less black & blue & the "haunted" look is starting to fade too.

Onwards & upwards

Smartie I am well jel! 12-14! Can't wait to get down to this size! And a chef! Better be cordon bleu every night then! Good luck. Am sure it will go well. As he's cooking why don't you hand over the control of the cupboards to him and stay out the kitchen! Take carexxxx
 
I will eat only what i need.
I will not eat to please other people.
I will exercise everyday.
I will do moderate, and heavy exercise.
I will stay off thebooze.
I will get my BG levels down consistently.
I will keep up the daily testing.
My former father in law just died. The last years were sad as his struggled with type 2. Heart, stroke, amputated leg. Insulin and hypos. His motto. " i would rather die happy than deny myself the pleasure of food and drink". Food for thought!

Good for you! I agree! Doesn't sound a happy way to go at all. Like you, I've heeded the warnings and have now lost 2 stone 2lbs. Have you heard of LCHF? This worked for me. If you're interested, try www.dietdoctor.com. Good luck!
 
Thanks guys for replies~really helps knowing someone is reading my ravings! Yes Chick, he does cook beautifully, but he is a real carb monster lol, I just leave or substitute them. I never thought I'd be a 12! Checked the label 3 times lol. Can't leave the cupboards to him atm, I still know they are a mess, perhaps in time the OCD will lessen.

Well "Will" is over & done!! Not the month I expected, but hey, that is life lol. Despite the horrible things that happened it's not been too bad.

In Will I managed to~
mainly eat better
tested more often
tried to find the positives (that was the hardest)
get out more, due to having to take OH to & from work
lost 2.25lbs
blood average was 5.4
lowest was 2.2
highest was 10.1 eek! shouldn't have had pizza & garlic bread (never again)

So that's been my Will
How did yours go?
