Mouse has done a runner - I think he has decided the party is a bit rough here with duct tape and air horns and torches being shone into the cupboard......that's right mouse - BE AFRAID!
The other annoyance has indeed contacted all three of my friends asking questions about me etc.
In doing so she has only pushed my friends and I closer....so thanks 'J'.
Rather than shy away from facebook I have been on there making up for lost time - he he - so if you get 5 gazillion requests from me, you know why!

I bought this book.
Amazing.
It has caused a great deal of reflection on my part ~ and looking into myself, my thoughts etc and the reasons that may be behind my being overweight.
On a similar theme to 'The Secret' this book is not about dieting, put simply it is a method in which we can think ourselves thin.
I have quite a few triggers for my body wanting to hold onto it's weight it's not funny.
Having tried everything else this seems like a sensible approach.
It also caused me to question why I have been isolating myself from my friend and family.
I know a lot of this is time related, but what else?
I think it's partly because not much is changing with Small Man, and with my constant niggling issues that have not yet been answered I feel like a burden, a pain in the ass basically that 'always has something wrong'.
It's far easier for me to write it all here - I don't have to try and read your face as you are reading it.
If you are sick of hearing about it you have the choice not to comment.
It also has a lot to do with my self esteem.
I actually heard myself tell Rose on the phone the other night that "I don't go out too much these days - too fat".
One thing I have learnt is that by not liking my body exactly as it is I am sabotaging any weight loss efforts I am trying to make.
I also don't eat enough (very difficult with little appetite).
I tracked my calorie intake over a week and it averages well under 1500 calories per day.
My body is in starvation mode.
The stress of the last few years - Small Man, the Almighty (ex boss for my new readers), money is also telling my body it needs fat to protect me.
I now need to tell it that it needs to be THIN to protect me.
Great book,
I am interested to see the results.
I may even order the cd to go with it now :)

G.! I HATE RODENTS!!! I also hate being overweight ( A little, but a lot for me)I have been avoiding others and the shops etc. I am SO with you.
You are my kind, Love you.xx♥
Interesting stuff. I have put on weight lately and I wonder if it is for 'protection' too. Most likely, as I don't do much differently and usually stay about the same weight any other time. Hmmmmm.
Glad your stinky ex friend is not getting what she wants :)
Natalie ~ I'm not glad it's you, but glad it's not just me, if that makes sense :) Love you too xxx
Michelle ~ It's a different way of looking at it for sure. Especially, as you say, you aren't doing anything different (neither am I).
Ex friend has done enough in the past - I'm happy to leave her, and it, right there :)

Gina, I love you Just The Way You Are - because you are fabulous. You have it where it counts - in your mind and heart.
The book sounds interesting. You'll have to keep us updated!
I don't know what to say, but that I know how being overweight controls too many aspects of a life. Daily positive reinforcement helped me, eg "I am a strong, beautiful woman and my weight doesn't control me.. I control me"
I eventually lost 23kgs.. that's starting to change though.. bloody pregnancy lol
You'll find what's right for you :)

The 'protection' thing makes sense to me, too, might have a look for that book in the library ;)
Lou ~ You're so lovely, big hugs for you xxx
Evil Twins Wife ~ Will do :)
Tania ~ You've done a teriffic job :) Imagine if you hadn't lost your weight and were then pregnant....excellent timing :)
Oz Reading ~ Welcome :) I had never really thought of it this way until reading the book

My Mum is reading that book! I saw it when I picked the kids up. She thinks it is great as well, she has the CD with it. MIght have to give it a go soon myself.
Toni ~ I found that if you have bought the book you can download the cd for free :) It seems good, if anything it will help me deal with some of the crap of the last few years....
