She didn't notice :-(

Hi all,

Well tonight I saw Mum and Dad for the first time since 2008. And despite me shaving my beard off, my ultra short hair cut, and that I have coloured my hair again, and losing over 10 kilos, do you know what he first thing Mum said to me was? "Well I can see that nothing has changed since the last time I saw you".

My brother David & his family came to dinner as well, and David did notice the difference, but I still feel a little dis-heartened.

I also haven't felt very good this weekend. I had dinner with some work friends on Friday night - Lebanese - and I really think it does not agree with me. Very oily - and with the healthy stuff i've been eating I think it's shocked my system. Even now i'm not quite right. No more Leb food for me.

I had a good walk with Leigh for over an hour on Saturday and then a lovely dinner with Leigh & Jeremy. That's it for exercise this weekend - today I just did not feel good - and I had to stay close to the bathroom....

So... press 'reset'. Monday's a new day.

  1. Chin up Pete, the new week will bring new energy and vigour!

    As much as you want your Mom's recognition of your successes, your Mom is not an easy lady to please, but loves you nonetheless - so don't be dis-heartened!

    The journey you're on at present is just that - YOUR JOURNEY and you're doing it for YOU this time not to gain anything from anyone else, hence your success to now.

    Keep @ it!

  2. Hi Pete,

    Keep focused on YOUR goal to lose weight. It takes time for others to see results and some people find it hard to tell you they can notice the results. So stay strong and keep working hard the results will come.
