wisdom.

Well, I still haven't filled the census in, The online thing is still dead and I just haven't done the written one yet, I've been knitting...

Lost 2kg this week. Not brilliant, but not too shabby, considering I had one Restaurant meal, and two days away again this week, oh, and went to the Show with the kids yesterday. Didn't eat anything I wasn't supposed to, but going out seems to stuff things up. Don't know why.

Mindset is an interesting beast. I find myself looking at others like a 'thin person' now. (Well, like what I imagine one to think like!).

I watched a woman in the supermarket on the weekend. She was HUGE. Now, for ME to say that, ya know she was pretty darned big. She was shoving bags of chips into her already laden trolley. The trolley had full sugar pepsi in it, Cakes, pre-made dinners, etc. I could only think that was me in a few years time. Not that I ever bought much lemonade at all, but the size. Gosh. I'm so pleased I'm doing this.

Part of me wants to go up to people like this and give them Sue's card and say "look, do this, you'll thank me later". The other part of me likes my nose in the shape it's in...

One section of my spreadsheet gives my ongoing BMI. Irrespective of everything else, my BMI drops one point (roughly) every week. My goal is a BMI of 25. Still a while to go.

The main thing I'm having trouble with is having my supper by 9pm. It's just too hard. I eat dinner about 7pm, by the time I finish it's 7.30. I don't want my supper right on top of my dinner, but then at 8.30 kids go to bed, so it's the whole 'bed thing' and it's 9.15 before I know it. So, I've extended my 9pm to 9.30. I don't go to bed before midnight anyway, so there's still more than 2 hours between...

I haven't been reading the forum lately, no time! But I just wanted to comment I think it's funny that people run in and say 'ticker update' and run out again. They DO realise, don't they, that every time your signature changes, it changes on ALL your posts, past AND future?

So, in 100 posts, if 10 of them are yours saying 'ticker update' no-one can tell what it was updated from, or to, since, next ticker update it's all erased! Do they expect us to remember what their ticker was last week???

Anyway, that's my words of wisdom for today, or lack thereof!
