The next mini goal is 11 stone 12, which is my 10% and also will take my BMI down to 30. Hopefully if I get a bigger loss next week (as I have done after totm before) I may even reach that then. I want to achieve it before going on holiday in 3 weeks anyway.
Before our holiday we are staying at my mum and dad's in north London for the weekend. We are going to go to the theatre to see Wicked on Saturday. Sunday is my mum's 60th birthday so there will be a garden party. Then on Monday we'll get the Eurostar.
My grandmother lives with my parents, when I was chatting with them on the phone yesterday she was protesting about how much weight I am planning to lose. She thinks I'll look terrible and gaunt! I understand why she feels like this. One of my aunts had anorexia nervosa as a teenager and she put my grandmother through hell when she tried to get her help. So now she is paranoid whenever anyone she loves loses weight.
As much as I am looking forward to seeing my family I am not looking forward to her being unsupportive and probably trying to sabotage my diet! I also wonder whether anyone will notice that I have lost weight. No one at work has yet.

ReplyDeleteAbout the gaunt comments....I get them too, my cousin thought I looked gaunt when I was at my thinnest yet I was a size 10...I think I looked ok so thats where Im heading again...It seems its ok for everyone else to be thin but me sometimes. Nevertheless I do understand where ur grandmother is coming from, with the experiences shes had x x x
