I’m busy being quite boring, Beloved Readers – doing lots of mental preparation for the week ahead.
Monday – library trip is needed, (nothing to READ!) and a trip to the “Let’s pretend we aren’t REALLY ripping you off” medical refunds place; and checking the post box for an eagerly anticipated cheque… and to post some SURPRISES! and I have to go to the bank to get money so I can pick up my sewing machine from the repair man… and – big procrastination item , this next one: I have to find out EVERYTHING I need to know about this weight loss program.
The things that didn’t work about WW for me should be addressed if I go ahead with this one:
1. The leader refused to help when I was STUCK on a plateau for ages – there was no support.
2. And she was – well, not so bright, and would perpetuate incorrect info sometimes. Yes, I know, I’m picky. See cartoon below.
3. When I started walking a lot and put ON weight, again – no support. Grrr. No “Hey , well done, you’re walking!” either. If I’m paying money, I want CHEERING, dammit.
Also, my wonderful GP (general practitioner, my primary care doctor) would be doing the medical support side of the program – I feel like I have a better chance of success with her actually taking the allergies and injuries and other medications into account, you know?
BTW, I get REALLY REALLY tired and pissed off with people who try to tell me that weight loss is “A simple energy equation” and that if I “eat less and exercise more” the whole thing will be solved. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Let’s just ignore the chronic fatigue/back injuries/depression/coeliac disease/polycystic ovaries, and thryoid issues then, will we? FUCKERS!!!
Ahem.
Tuesday: Quilters. Don’t know if I’ll have time to prepare what I want to do as a demo on flying geese – we’ll see. Actually, aiming for NEXT Tuesday would be better, cos then the club AGM will be out of the way. Good.
I’ve made some more progress on my Tuesdays and TV quilt (here’s what it looked like a couple of months ago) by stitching during the boring bits (ad breaks and safety car laps!) of the V8 Supercars today, and again during the boring bits of the prancing. The LQS might even have FINALLY got more of the precut paper triangles in, since the ones I have are quite battered after being pieced over and pulled out three or four times each.
English Paper Piecing is the perfect activity for Tuesday Quilters meetings, cos I can do it while I’m talking. And if I can’t chatter to my quiltgals while I’m there, I might as well stay at home and sew by myself (and that would be BAD, cos I get a bit cabin-fever-ish after a few days.)
And that’s as far as I’ve got in the planning so far.

Have you ever noticed that the people who espouse the whole “weight loss is a simple energy equation” thing are thin, probably people who haven’t had to deal with it in their whole lives? I’m just saying …
Good luck with the next program. Sounds like the leader at Weight Watchers was a bit of a dimwit. You don’t need that.

Yep, the frustrations of weight loss do gooders reach far and wide, just being a tad overweight myself… ( okay, about half my body weight!!) So I suggest a good treatment of quilting gal talk, lots of quilting gal weight loss support, and good healthy tasty filling lunch with the quilting gal pals!!!
Cheers, see you in the morning, Chriss -
Everyone’s different, I sure hope this works for you.
and that is a GORGEOUS quilt! -
Thanks, Tanya – yes, they ARE all skinny bitches who say that!
Chriss, yep- although I may still be a BIT naughty and have one of those yummy spinach and cheese filo pastries for lunch – my only pastry fix all week!
