Morning All...

[Guest guest]

Hiya all...

Well, nothing much to report here. Been to Curves, had a coffee, put the dinner on (eight hour beef shin out of yesterdays sun herald mag).

So, now I can sit back, relax and watch the rain falling.... which is just lovely I have to say. The pool is overflowing, which I don't think has happened for a long, long time. I am also going to head up to Westfield and do my MBF/medicare claims from Liams ankle, and buy a permanent marker pen... you needed to know all that didn't you????

Maree. Interesting the whole women and weight business. My parents are the only ones who have ever said anything to me about my weight... and thats about all they talk to me about. My brother has the same problem, I think he has been thinking of the band himself, but honestly don't think that at 6'3" and 110kg, he is necessarily overweight, just big! But, god forbid say that to our mother and father, as far as they are concerned he is about 45 kilos overweight... rediculous, maybe 15 at the most I would say for his height. He has a head like a bloody bowling ball, so I mean big front row forward material. Anyway, I told him to get over it and just be careful with the amount of beer he drinks, I think that is his biggest problem.

My parents have been trying to get weight off me since I was about 17 years old. I put on a few kilo after treatment with steriods and cortesone for allergies etc.... have been overweight ever since. The more they pushed me to loose, the more I put on... vicious cycle if you ask me. I think the more someone goes on about it to me, the more I go the opposite. Therefore I don't talk to about her wieght problem, and guess what, she is loosing herself without any input from me.

Now I am having the problem that they are telling me that I am eating too much for someone who has this band, I am not loosing fast enought, I should get more fill and make sure I can eat no more than two mouthsfuls at a time... they really are idiots. This is coming from a pair of lunatics who weight 50kl and 80kl. They have never had to worry about their weight, but they have this saying - "if I eat that - I will die"!!! Yes, its their mantra... no wonder both Matt & I have weight issues!!!!!

And, to add to that I have a very close girlfriend who knows that I have had this done who actually told me on Friday night that I don't want to loose too much weight, I will get wrinkles... interesting!!!! A bit of jealous behaviour is coming out in some people.

Anyway, my thoughts for the day.
