Something to aim for

Hi Guys, I must seriously get back on track as I have been invited to a wedding in the US in September. Booked the flight yesterday. Hopefully this time I will not have to worry about the seat-belt fitting round me lol. It just fitted last time but I couldn't get the food tray down properly.

I'm getting over my cold but have been left with horrendous catarrh and I can't taste anything. My nose is almost always in a Olbas Oil-soaked tissue which is helping a bit.

Hope you are all well.

    Sorry to hear about you feeling unwell. The last thing you want to think about then is your food.

    Great news about the wedding though. As you say, good to have something to aim for. Perhaps start browsing the net for the type of outfit you might like when you have lost the weight (when not if smile )

    Hi Petal

    Something for you to look forward to and to help you focus.

    Sorry you're not well. Have you tried putting some of the oil in a bowl of hot water and then breath in with a towel over your head.

    Feeling a lot better today but I will try the steam thing. Went for lunch at a Hungry Horse and had a jacket potato with baked beans and a side salad. Feeling very virtuous at the moment :biggrin:

    Wow you was good wasn't you?

    One of the children at school brought in some big chocolate muffins his mum had baked for his birthdayI so wanted to eat the one he gave me, but I didn't and gave it to a colleague who so pleased to eat it. I felt far better giving it away than eating it and then feeling guilty and cross with myself for doing so. Don't get me wrong I'm not an angel but I don't want to undo all my hard work so I went home and ate a low fat meal and ate a weight watchers pudding so had a treat without feeling guilty.

    Keep it up and the weight and inches will come off :wink:
