My Precious Dear Nan

You were a strong and very independant lady. You have suffered much throughout year life, now finally your pain has all disappeared.
The angels have come and taken your hand and guided you to that great place in the sky.
They will look after you now, as will granddad. You are finally back together after so long apart.

I wish that I could have told you how much I loved you before they took you from me, but you went so quickly.

I will miss seeing your smiling face, miss your xmas mince pies, I will miss you forever. I will never forget you, when I look up into the stars, I will be thinking of you always.

As much as it pains me to say (Magpie Supporter) but I will cheer on your beloved "CATS"(Geelong Football Club)and hope they win for you.

Rest in Peace
Love you always.

Lose Weight by Taking Baby Steps

Weight Loss- what a dirty word.
I was reading a Weight Watchers magazine yesterday and came across this article about losing weight.
The tip was to take a step at a time.
Most people have to lose weight and a lot of it. 20 or 30kg, that's a huge amount when you look at it in the big picture. But look smaller, divide it up into smaller steps.

They suggested that if you had to lose 5kg then work at losing 1/2 a kilo a week. If 10 to 15kg, look at losing 5 kilos in 5 weeks. Lose the weight in small stages and it won't seem so daunting. Break up the amount of weight you want to lose and start from there.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Food, Food, Glorious Food.

Food never seems as tempting when your sick.
Why do we have trouble digesting food when unwell?
Perhaps some research needs to be done to find out why we
don't eat as much when we're ill. Must be some chemical in the brain????

I think that I should be sick more often, then perhaps I will not have a weight problem.
Feeling low and unmotivated is not a good feeling and really I don't want to be sick again but losing weight seems to be so much easier.
You never seem to have the food cravings, don't get that yearning feeling for sweet, sugary foods.

I think that I lost a kilo or two while unwell but I feel that I have put it back on since I have my appetite back. Far to quick and far to easy.
You tell yourself that you are not going to eat another thing that is not good for you and that your turning over a new leaf, huh, that didn't last long.
Back to the old habits in no time and fighting with your mind every single moment of the day. "Don't eat that, it's full of fat."

Bring the Fight On...
