I'm getting this error message from time to time, which is why sometimes a few days can go by with no blog. It's not surprising to be honest, I had long suspected that I was indeed a figment of my own imagination, and it's actually quite liberating to see it here (on Connect) in black and white - ar more sinisterly..... black and RED!

 "Group" today was also a revelation. They were doing their best to be supportive of my anticipated (and dreaded) "Chat" with my manager on Friday, although weren't surprised I wasn't really coping at work. My work laptop problems MAY have be resolved (yeah, yeah - I've been having that blue-sky thought for about 4 weeks now) and the extra project which was dumped in my workstack, was also removed form my responsibilty so that's (almost literally) a weight off my mind.....

... maybe I CAN cope after all ...

On the positive side, I had a LOVELY girly chat with a chum from AS french class with whom I still try to keep in touch from time to time. We had coffee and a bracing walk. I also got my spare tyre replaced (following Tuesday's puncture) at no cost to myself - thank GOD for company cars.

.....more bizarrely I seem to have lost 4 lbs in the space of one day....that CAN'T be right - I think my scales are going doolally. BTW - have just realised that I should have posted my WI form Monday which was STS at 9 st 6lbs (how boring, and probably why I forgot to post it!)

Just jotting this down for my own benefit really, so I can have an objective account in future of how my new Group Terpay sessions are "helping" or not as the case may be.

Week 3 yesterday and I was feeling REALLY good. Sadly, however, all 4 or the other group memebrs were very upset (some suicidal) and very unhappy. I tried to say a few positive things in the session and got my head bitten off by A for my trouble. It really brought me down. ne positive effect was that I was able to try to rationalise my subsequent negative thoughts and talk myself through why I was subsequently feleing upset. Mainly it was due to feeling different to everyone again and cross with A for biting my head off. B was his usual irritating self and if I hear him say "I don't want to be patronising but..." and then go on to say something patronising, I think I'd want to swing for him. I have been VERY polite so far, but a person's patience can only go so far.

Getting excited about going to WW class again tonight. I hope I may have lost a pound from last week.

Also, I am VERY proud of myself for the way I handled a potentially very upsetting situation at work today. A colleague thoroughly undermined a decision I had made (and which I could justify and back up) and I knew exactly why it made me cross and why I am actaully right. In the end, I made a show of following her orders, just for a quiet life - but am prepared to back up my original decision and frankly am not going to take this kind of undermining by someone who is NOT my superior, in this way. Good for me Mellers.

It is so much easier to loose weight with someone else there along the way. I wanted to create this group to help others find people in the Denver Metro Area. A workout buddy, someone to ask questions about methods, someone to just talk to, share progress and stories, etc. I need to loose weight, but have found it hard to just get going. Well, I need to get going before it is too late. Anyone else care to join me?
