so, this is my space in this
huge place!!
a place to record my thoughts, efforts and food!!
thinking will do food in a separate post, can do this most days as it only
takes a min or 2... and can update and change as it goes along!!!
was a big kid, but active, remember though that i had a mentality of why stand
when you can sit, why sit when you can lay down why be awake when you can be
asleep....
but i swam 4 or 5 km everyday, surfed had 2 horses that i cared for, and played
netball.....
at 20 i was 85kg, working 2 jobs.
at 23 i was a mum.... and about 90kg
i stayed at this weight until after my marriage, and another 5 pregnancy's.....
but unfortunately we only got to take 2 beautiful baby girls home. after baby
#3, i developed PND, and bipolar....
about 7 years ago i started having asthma attacks and allergies, and started on
steroids... the beginning of the end for me.
fast forward to 2008, i was constantly in and out of ICU< and about 167kg,
and on steroids constantly.
started battling to get the weight off, but would not stay off, so joined a
health fund 29/6/2009.
wiht the aim of being banded, but, no think going to covince surgeon to sleeve
me, have a good argument ready to fight for it, and guess i am paying him so
should be able to get what i need!!
now i am 144.4 kg... well was on 28/5/2010, my scaless don't seem to work at
this weight... so i don't know what i am now,
ummmmm my meal plan... .long!! and posted else where, but i will cut 'n paste

This is my meal plan, is
written for another person to follow what i do....... aimed at another person,
as i was sharing it with someone else, but this is how i do it.
soon as you wake, make yourself tea with equal and 50 to 70 mills low fat milk.
(coffee is to easy to more milk in, but if you can do coffee with this amount
of milk, go for it.)
do your waking stuff, then have a shake. i have a coffee shake made by shaking
100 ml hot tap water and shaking add to my coffee mug, then shake 50 mill
boiling water in the shaker, pour into mug, top wiht boil water... i add extra
coffee and sometimes equal.
lol this is getting long sorry but want to help you get there.... and i will be
doing wiht you each step of the way.
drink at least 3 cups of water or tea before snack.
snack make a soup by chopping a veggie... yum wiht zucchini OR yellow squash OR
cauliflower Or broccoli OR carrot capsicum and zucchini.
you need around a cup of veg, add water to come 3/4 of the way to top of veg
and simmer about 10 min. add a stock cube, puree and add herbs or spices or
more water.
this should make a big bowl of soup. and is surprisingly filling and low in fat
and calories.
lunch optifast soup or shake... make as you like but no milk!
have a lot of drinks - tea coffee (50 mills milk rule )
make a salad of capsicum, tomato, cucumber, onion, shallots, mushrooms, celery
and as much lettuce as you want.
your serve of salad is i cereal bowl...... but not the lettuce what i do is
pile my plate with lettuce, and then pop over the chopped salad stuff.
i have 50mil salad dressing.... no fat or 99% fat free to dip it in... and a
slice of lemon on the side. hint cut up enough for 2 salads in 1 go. but don't
make the puree soup ahead as not so creamy reheated.
drink!!!!!!!!!!!!
have another salad if your not coping.
dinner optifast shake or soup. milk rule applies.
then i if i am munchy, and steroids can make me this way and it is cold.... it
is 4c now.... i make a stew.. chopped veggies cooked with a little tomato paste
and stock and bulked up wiht water... you will be surprised how much a big bowl
of this, (i make 2 meals, 1 now 1 in the fridge for next meal..... try with
onion, carrot, eggplant, celery, capsicum, tomato, cabbage, zucchini.
this is not that expensive.... as most is bulked out with water, lettuce and
stock cubes.
a "cuppa soup" made on a stock cube and boiling water can help too.
this works on so many levels great for diabetes, liver issues, weight loss, and
gives you energy to burn.

better than a kick in the teeth. we talked protien, and hair loss... have lost
a lot. she also said that i was not an easy one.. so many allergies. i think i
am going it have fish on fridays and chicken on wednesdays..... not sure how
that will go, but have lost a heap of hair... had a thick brade down my back,
now have what looks like a thick rats tail.

1 tspoon of hot english mustard mixed with 2 table spoons of 99% fat free
coleslaw dressing.

i get that a lot.... have
major lung issues, this is the first step in major lung surgery.....
life at home is like anywhere... up and down and all over the place!!!
the jeans.... lol
well, it all started on a cold Sydney Sunday. I decided that i was going to
Church, allergies or no allergies and i was going to stay well the whole
time... (how does that saying go?? the best laid plans of mice and men.....)
Got showered, blow dried and dressed.. last clean pair of jeans, my fav black
ones. chucked kids and nebulizer into the car, and off we went. got as far as
the door... and started wheezing. perfume!!!
had fight with husband and then drove self to hospital. standing at the triage
desk.... and jeans slid down to ankles.... not a nice sight i can assure you.
the more i tried to pull them up the more they fell... ended up with my hair
tie in the waistband.
got home, and was asked why i was wearing track pants to church...... they were
that loss that husband and girls thought was trackies...
note to self.... get some draw string pants or jeans with belt loops.... will
have to go and have a look at at autograph, but don't want to spend money on
jeans if 5kg (i think by now) changes my size this much, as i will need new
clothes every month. think i might actually fit into a 26 now.... sounds
strange that...
