Weigh in day today and thankfully things seem to be back on track as I'd lost 15 pounds (6kg). It seems if you actually get your lazy ass moving and eat better you lose weight. Go figure. Man, I was so happy this morning. These last few months have been of the suck weight wise, I put on, lost a few pounds, stuck and never went down at all. Now I'm half a stone lower than I've ever been. Very cool. Which reminds me. Looking at the tags for this, I didn't answer comments from last time, and I'm sorry for that. It's just, this is something I never talked about and in some ways I still feel weird doing so, even to this extent. That goes even more so when I'm talking about negative things, and not replying doesn't mean I don't appreciate the comments, because I do, so very much.

But yes. So very happy right now :)

We went to see Poseidon last night, and man, it was a cool film. It freaked me out many times. One of my fears is drowning, and just the thought of being trapped on a ship going down like that makes me shudder. It was interesting to see how this version differed from the original, in many ways I liked in better, others not so much. Especially in terms of knowing the characters. But it was a very entertaining movie, and one I couldn't look away from. Even though the two tossers behind me just wouldn't shut up. I don't mind talking in the adverts, hell, even the previews is fine. But the actual movie? Zip it.

Tonight is more walking, probably at the beach, then back to a recording of Big Brother where hopefully sleazy Sezer will be evicted. He's such a slimeball. I'm surprised he doesn't leave a trail when he walks.

Because I've been annoyed about this for a few hours now and need a mini vent. We bought a tray of cherry tomatoes today. We called at mam's after the hospital and James was going to work, so the tomatoes were at hers too, ready to be taken home. One of her friends was there. He's this weird guy, nice enough but totally brainless. I was eating the tomatoes because I really do love them and hadn't had breakfast, and he tells me to stop eating them because I'd eat them all, and I'd already had 10. First, there's a whole huge tray full, hundreds of the thing. No way could I eat them all. Second. Even if I did, it wouldn't matter. They have no fat, I could eat them all ten times over and it wouldn't matter. Third. Don't count what I'm eating. It's rude. Fourth. It's none of your damn business!

Oh wow, congratulations! That's a huge amount to lose! You rock so much :)

Ugh, some people have no manners. Just sitting there and watching someone eat is creepy, anyway!

Thank you! Man, you icon is making me smile so much. Brian is perfect for a yay *g*

Ugh, some people have no manners

They really don't. I could have decked him one when he said that. He was lucky he wasn't wearing the tomatoes.

[tara]

He really is :)

Heh, if it'd been me eating them, he likely would have been wearing them. Accidentally, of course *g*

YAY!!! I am so proud of you, Terri! It's such a difficult thing to lose weight. I myself have lost 6 or 7 lbs in the last 2 weeks, but that's just because I've been sick and have had little to no appetite.

Anyhoo, keep up the good work!! ((HUGS))

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

Losing weight is difficult, though losing it the way you have is of the suck.

*hugs back*

How are you feeling? A little better I hope.

[goneplatinum.livejournal.com]

Eh, I'm okay I guess. Still wheezy and headachey, and last night I had a low grade fever. This pneumonia is holding my body hostage--wonder what I can give it to leave me the hell alone??

[digital-diva.livejournal.com]

You go, girl!!!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!

I was so relieved this morning.

[truekat.livejournal.com]

*applauds* Congratulations, hon! That's fantastic news! Keep up the good work! And, you know, eat all the damn tomatoes you want. You have to ignore ignorance! :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Lol. I will eat all the tomatoes I want. They're good for me, and so much better than eating my way through crips or sweets.

YAY for the weight loss! I'm going back to weight watchers probably next week--I need that much more time to make my kitchen operational. But man, I'm so proud of you! *hugs you tight*

And I'd really like to kick that asshole right in the family jewels; it's totally NOT his concern if you eat one tomato or 1000. Sheesh. I know I can't eat more than a couple at a time because the acid upsets my stomach, but otherwise... Yeesh.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I can't imagine even trying to lose weight with the stress you have going at the moment. Add on a kitchen that has to be upside down. Just impossible. You know that I'm here for support when you do go back though.

He really did piss me off. Considering part of my eating problems are volume related, filling up on healthy stuff is good. Plus, I already have a fear of being watched while eating, to have someone actually comment was way harsh.

*hugs back*

Congrats on the weight loss hun, that's fantastic! I want to see Poseidon too, the ship I was on, the Norwegian Dawn, was hit by a rogue wave last April, a few months before I embarked... it'll be interesting!

And pssshhh... tomatoes are good for you! Tell him to stuff it up his ass.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Poseidon is a good film. It's getting bad reviews but I liked it a lot. But dude, rogue waves are real? That's it. No cruises for me!

Tell him to stuff it up his ass.

Next time I so will!

[canadiandreamr.livejournal.com]

Yep, they're real. It's a freak of nature that happen when a bunch of small waves merge into a large wave. In the case of the Dawn, it was a 70ft wave.

Eeep!

Thanks for the links.

[glendaglamazon.livejournal.com]

Go team you! I am so very proud of you! Not the smallest part of which is that you didn't let your setbacks get you down, and that's a true sign of success!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I figure I have to get over my setbacks. The amount I have I'd be at gutter level if I didn't ;)

Now I'm half a stone lower than I've ever been.

Go you! *hugs*

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

*smooch* back on track with the weight loss activitities despite the setback *and* not in jail for smacking the muppet - proud of you, lady!

Also, I totaly empathise about the not replying to comments when it's an issuy thing, even though you appreciate them lots - I know I do that sometimes.

*smooch*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I was so relieved yesterday. The last few months have gone from bad to frustrating, getting an actual good result was an amazing feeling. The muppet would have deserved the smack, he's lucky I was in a good mood.

I feel bad about leaving comments unanswered, but sometimes it's too much to rehash things, even just to say thanks. I get amazing advice and support on here, and I hope people know how much that means.

*smooches you*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for always converting to kilo, sis, I can follow the whole process better like that - and congratulate you on the hard work more easily :-) I'm so glad you stuck to the diet thing, even when it royally sucks and seems to not go anywhere, you keep going and it just rocks because, hey, you have good results, it's all worth it. But I admire your determination because it does demand a lot of courage *hugs*

The original Poseidon is one of my sister's favourite films, so I need to remind her of the new one, maybe she'll want to go and see it. Unless she feels like it's a blasphemy or something, you never know lol

Weird Guy should take care of his own business and shut up, I second that. People!

[bayouskye.livejournal.com]

YAY for being back on track! Keep on smiling and forget about the rough spots from before!

I hate people that yammer on during the movie. I want to spork them lots!

And that guy at your Mam's? WTF? *sporks him lots*

[rikes]

Wohoo! Go Terri! :)

[manna]

15 pounds! Yay for you! {hugs}

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I know! I was stunned.

It just shows that exercise does work. Shame I didn't realise that umpteen stones back.

*hugs back*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Yay for loosing weight!!! And keeping on with the program despite the setback last time. You seriously rock Terri!!!! *throws virtual confetti*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Last month sucked, so I was so pleased being able to turn that around. Fingers crossed I'll keep that going.

[paperdollkisses.livejournal.com]

WOO!!! All right girl!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D

[stellamira]

*Cheers* Go you! :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

*tacklehugsdances*

YAY, TERRI!!!

Lower than you've ever been, that's fantastic!!!

SO proud of you, Luv.

*hugs*

*smooches*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Well, I actually phrased that really badly re reading. I meant lower in terms of actual combined weight loss. But still, considering I've been at my highest weight for years now, dropping down below that number was still cool :)

Thank you! Even if I didn't really do what I said I did *g*

[claire.livejournal.com]

6kg! Holy hell, Terri, that's awesome. Go you!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I was surprised myself. Though, as I'm so hugely overweight there's still loads to go.

Little steps though.
