Boob cream, hen night, birthday and BFF

Hello my little banded (or not) friends,





I am a terrible blogger, I Haven't been in blogland in the last 2 weeks. I was so busy!





This post might be a bit long to tell you about several things... During the last few weeks I have lost a bit more weight, I am now down 14.3 kilos (31.5lbs) . Knowing the week ahead of me there is a big chance that i will put some weight on this week though.





I had my second fill, the nurse put 2 ccs in so I am now at 5.5 ccs and I an definetely feel some restriction it is not the best restriction i could have i think but I definetely feel a great difference. I have also discovered some of my problem food the worst one that is getting stuk everytime is quorn sausages, it just doesnt go down...





I eat a lot less but the head hunger is hard to fight... I started exercising again which I hope will help with the weight loss. My foot is better but the plantar fascitiis pain comes and goes.





I have found a new great product: Boob cream! From Lush it is called lovely jubblies! the results so far are very promising. I will keep you updated on how it works. I am getting quite concerned about my boobs as they never seem to stop shrinking, I wish my bum was trying to compete with them too in the shrinkage competition...



This week there is two big events for me,

On thursday it's my birthday, I will be 25 years old. I am working during the day but will be having a birthday dinner at my favourite restaurant with some friends in the evening and I am really looking forward to that.

On Saturday is my Hen Night, I cannot tell you much aboit ot yet as it is all a surprise to me. I am being picked up at 12 by my best friend and then I don't know anything.

Talking about my best friend it's about time I tell you about her. I have known her for only 2 years but I never got on so well with a girl. I usually have issues to trust girls, my closest friends apart from her are boys. I have always dreamt to have a best girl friend that I can share everything with but never found one until I met Yuna. I am so happy that I have found her. To organise my hen night she has to put up with a lot of cr*&%£&p from other people including people who we thought were our friends, but turned out to be very selfish self centered people. She's always very supportive with everything I do and always there for me. And you know what it feels great to have such a good friend !!

I will let you know how my week went and will catch up on your blogs as quickly as I can. Sorry for not comenting lately I really didn't have the time. I will try to take pictures of the 2 events to share them with you!

Good night xxx.

How Gilly saved my Wedding Gift list

Gilly you truly are a superhero!

We did not have a wedding gift list yet and I was starting to worry a lot. But thank you you I now know exactly what I want. I will have three of the flatulence absorbing blankies! If their material is used by the army they have to be the best! My marriage could have been a failure even before it started but thank to you we will live happily ever after!

A little update.

Hello my little friends,

I wanted to give you a little update on my weight. I usually don't weigh myself in the middle of the week but I needed to know if the weight was finally moving to stay motivated and here is how it's been going so far...

monday: 135.2 kg (+ 0.4 kg)
wednesday: 134.3 kg (-0.9 kg)
thursday: 133.9 kg (-0.4 kg)

so so far since monday a loss of 1.5 kg which is 3.3lbs yaaay! and i have a new low! I am not changing my ticker in case the weight goes up before official weigh in on monday. hopefully it will keep going down.

I would like to introduce you to a new future banded lady Kelly. She is living in Northern Ireland like me and I am her only follower so far. She is getting banded on 5th May in England and I am sure she could do with some support form the wonderful people in blogland.

I can't wait for the week end which will be very busy. I am not working this week end and there is a street theatre festival in Belfast that I love called the festival of Fools. My super fiance and I will be spending the day there and going to see a country music concert in the evening. Sunday will probably be a lazy day at home. Tomorrow night my (now officially) BFF (I will have to explain to you why it is now official in a post soon as it is very important to me) is coming over to make place cards for the wedding.

I will definetely try to get a vlog done soon. any suggestions on which sotware/website is the easiest to use for that?

I wish you all a great week end !

Weigh in day : Joey said it it was the earth tilting east not the chocolate...

Hello,

I had my weigh in on monday and I am up again to 135.2... I hate these scales they won't let me go under 135! for the last month I have been going up and down between 134.7 and 136.6...

I have started the diet the bariatric nurse gave me and I hope it will help this week. I decided I would weigh myself tomorrow as a mid week weigh in to see how things are going and stay motivated.

I still can't exercise but good news I am not using my crutches anymore. I have started taking the anti inflamatory tablets and it makes a massive difference. If it all goes well I will be back on the wii fit on the day of my second fill :10th may.

I still have no restriction so I hope the next fill helps as I find it extremely hard. Once you have reached restriction does it get a lot easier? does the weight go down faster? I have been feeling discouraged lately I find it hard to stay motivated. So I have asked my fiance to be strict with me and make sure I eat right during my meals and tell me off if I don't.

I need to try and do a Vlog again. Hopefully it will work fine this time and show you all the things I am preparing for the wedding.

I am off to bed now. Will keep you updated of my weight loss soon.

BYOC

1. Name a career you would NOT want to do and tell why.

Anything involving the sex industry, I don't mind people doing whatever they want but it is against the principles I have for myself. And anything that involves blood, like a surgeon or something. I admire these people but I am so scared of blood...

2. What’s the best present you ever received for your birthday?

The best one was for my 18th birthday. My parents offered me a week of full time singing lessons. I have always loved to sing but I didnt have the confidence to do it. I then joined a stage school and it gave me a lot of confidence in myself to do it.


3. This is from Amy W. (I had a request to copy her question and ask it today in BYOC) (Hope that’s okay Amy!)

What do you hide behind?

I hide behind a confident looking character. If you ask most of my friends they would think I am very confident, I have absolutely no problems with being obese, but this is just what I want them to think. I would feel extremely vulnerable if they could see how I really feel inside. I only show teh real me to my closest friends when I am sur I can trust them.


4. Where were you born?

In Toulon in Provence in the south of France.

5. A little twist on this one..usually we ask – what blog spoke to you the most, stuck with you, had the most effect on you this week? This week I’m adding to that which comment may have affected you greatly? Sometimes a blog can lead to amazing comments and they deserve their own claim to fame here in this question.

I haven't caught up with all your blogs yet so will have to answer this one before.
