Just go to the bloody dentist!
I had to have root canal today, i've been calling it route canal and its only just dawned on me that thats wrong! All was going ok but the dentist said that he couldn't do it due to something wrong with the roots, something that I was born with apparently and it would have to come out. I trust him, if it has to come out it has to come out, it was horrible! really really horrible. My whole face was numb including my eye and my nose, i'm swollen and the pressure he had to apply in order to remove it was immense. I was thinking whilst he was pulling as hard as he possibly could that perhaps the tooth was quite happy where it was and we should leave it. It came out in the end, I left looking like i'd been in a fight!
Before I got to the dentist when I was dropping Izzy at school I looked in my handbag and realised that George's drink for nursery had leaked, a good half a pint of liquid had gone in my handbag and ruined my mobile phone and my burberry purse, so my day wasn't going so well to start with.
Since returning from the dentist i've been strangely tearful, mainly when i've just spoken to someone, think i'm feeling a bit sorry for myself. Maybe its the novacane?
Still haven't stood on the scales, if i'm honest i'm slightly scared that they might go up after over indulging at the weekend so that makes it easier! After my dental treatment i've not eaten anything other than a banana all day as I didn't get around to breakfast this morning. Also, i've not been to the gym either, will go on Thursday and if I feel ok and Paul gets home from work early enough I might try tomorrow evening.
Hope that everyone is well, sorry for my moany teary blog today!

Still fat, still pale and still moaning about the heat!
Thanks so much for all your lovely comments, I will be certain to post pictures of Isobel dressed up as snow white. Its very funny, she's not much of a girly girl although not a tomboy either but for parties she insists on wearing make up, someone bought her some kids make up for her birthday, I wouldn't normally allow this but actually its just fine glitter so its fine, she does make me laugh that she drags the kit out, she never asks for it at any other time.
As my title suggests its still quite hot here, although not too bad really, the worst thing about it is that I drive a black car and it gets really hot, just checked the weather and its going to drop a long way so tomorrow expect me moaning about the cold!
Have booked a fill, couldn't get one on a Saturday but have one for an afternoon in London, its on the 8th of June, my lovely husband is taking a half day to look after the kids/do the school runs.
My eating has been ok today but I am aware i'm eating too much in one sitting, I sometimes feel a little stuck, more uncomfortable than anything, like I need a drink to clear it but it doesn't ever make me feel full or sick so I assume that this is the result of a little restriction but not how it will be when i'm at my "sweet spot"
Hope that everyone is well today, bedtime for me!
Forgot to say, still haven't weighed!! Since saturday! I normally weigh in at least 5 times a day so this is great.

Scale challenge and its still hot!
Ok, we've established that i'm fat and really really pale so no suprise that i'm still not really enjoying the warm weather, it was somewhere around 30 (86f ish) today. Typically its meant to be 30 again tomorrow and then cool right back down again so I really shouldn't complain.
I'm challenging myself not to weigh everyday, my weigh in day will be Saturday and I will do my very best not to weigh in between.
Have had a busy day, gym, getting a tyre fixed on the car which cost a fortune and then (yet) another birthday party! I've mentioned before that Isobel goes to a girls school and there are 18 girls inc her in her class, each of them has had a party and we seem to have alot around now, we have 5 in the next 3 weeks! Its just so time consuming.
Next Sundays party is a Princess party with princess dress essential, well its optional but Isobel feels that its essential! I've just bought her a snow white dress on ebay, it was super cheap and she'll love me forever once she see's it, she loves snow white.
I'm a big reader, I've normally always got a book on the go, i'm just about to finish Karin Slaughter's Genesis. I love Karin Slaughter, quite gory but very gripping. After this I have the 4th twilight book to read but then nothing else lined up, would love some recomendations. I'm fairly game for any kind of book.
Need to book a fill, I have 5cc's in a 14cc band, I don't really have any restriction. I have trouble getting to my Dr's office as they're in central London and i'm very nearly in East Anglia (v frightening, I swore I would never live in EA a few years ago!) they are in London on a Thursday morning and because of my children its really hard for me to get there, really the only way for me to do it is for my husband to take the day off work. He generally is very good and would do this if he could but has just started a new job (with same company) and is very busy so its not really going to happen. I think that my provider do a clinic in Birmingham on a Saturday, although this is a longish drive its going to be the easiest way for me to get a fill. I'm going to check this out and hopefully book a fill tomorrow.
Hope that everyone is well, my thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and her family http://myluckylapband.blogspot.com/

boring boring boring!
Do you ever think that other people have much more interesting lives than you? I read alot of blogs and everyone seems so glamorous and thin and interesting! My life is so boring in comparison.
Have done well food wise this week, scales down to an all time low of 16 st 10, which I think is 244 pounds, TOM came today which may stall me for a little while but i'm ok with that.
So hot here at the moment, its set to be 24 c (about 75f) today which we don't get that often, having my normal summer struggle with summer clothes, I don't really have the arms for short sleeves never mind sleeveless!
My husband is going to a poker night tonight, he's never played before, they aren't going to know what has hit them! I'm going to stay in and watch Twilight, I started watching it the other night but my MIL called and kept me on the phone for over an hour. I found it a little slow but I guess that its like that when you've read the book.
Better get back to my housework, dull dull dull!!!

Monday
Firstly, thanks for the comments, it really means so much.
Scales were kind this morning 16st 11 and a half, better than I deserve, thats 245.5 lbs.
After dropping Isobel at school George and I went to the zoo, we are season ticket holders and go there alot, we did a couple of hours of walking, I feel tired at the moment though, not sure why.
I really didn't fancy breakfast this morning, maybe thats because of the fill, yesterday I only managed 3/4's of a slice of toast. I bought some cooked sliced chicken and ate that whilst wondering around the zoo, my protein intake can sometimes be low so that will help. I could feel it when i'd eaten it and my stomach is still making funny noises now. It felt a little stuck at one stage and I had to have some water to help it down. I feel uncomfortable rather than full, is that normal?
School is getting me down, they basically told my husband that Isobel is way way ahead of the rest of the class but they are worried about her behaviour, they want to get a educational psychologist in to assess her, she's only 5 and I don't want that, I want her to be left alone, to add insult to injury the cheeky buggers want us to pay for it! Its going to cost around about £500. She is a challenging child, she's hard work, it seems to me that they want me to pay for someone to go it to tell them how to do their job. Paul and I are in discussion about what we should do, if it was down to me I would be looking for a new school!
Hope that everyone is having a good day!

Funny couple of days
Good morning from overcast East Anglia. Hope everyone is well.
After saying that I was going to be a good bandster and stay on liquids for 3 days I ate solid food, it was quite mushy and went down ok, everything I ate on Friday went down ok. Saturday I had a couple of bread rolls for lunch and almost got stuck, I guess it was a combination of fluffy bread and not chewing well enough, until then I thought I had no restriction.
Last night we went out for dinner, it was my husbands birthday and we had a baby sitter, yay! I did ok, felt a couple of slight stuck feelings bit generally ok, although I was able to eat 3 courses, my main was a seafood stew type thing which I didn't eat much of so possibly not too bad.
I've not been doing well with my food choices and snacking, the stressfull school situation is still ongoing and i'm very unhappy about things that were said at the meeting. I've done my normal thing of turning to rubbish food, Its probably just an excuse.
I have been to the gym 3 times though so thats something. Am going to try and make better choices and not find excuses to eat rubbish.
Rubbish post, sorry, just feel a bit meh!

xray fill and stress!
Morning all,
Had my first fill yesterday, it didn't hurt at all, I had an xray at the same time to make sure that the band was in the right place and so they could check how much restriction I had. I now have 5cc's in a 14cc band.
I'm on fluids for 3 days, I have to admit that I was very hungry yesterday and was nibbling on wasabi peas on the way home (have you tried them? they are amazing!)
Lots of stress here at the moment, all with my daughters school. My husband has an appointment with her school this morning to talk about her "progress" which I think basically means her attitude!
She's a very bright girl and she is bloody hard work, she is trying it on with them to get attention, this has been going on since she started in September last year, she's only 5. I've had meetings with them before saying that I believe that they need to deal with her in a short and sharp way, instead they seem to talk to her for ages and she gets lots of attention from that. Just last week she decided that she wasn't going to stand in line, she ended up in the headteachers office for an hour making excuses about why she didn't want to! An hour! Has the woman got nothing better to do?
So, although the teacher feels its very important that i'm at the meeting i'm not going, mainly because of 4 things, my husband doesn't want me to go, I will probably cry, I will get defensive and I most probably tell them to shove it or probably all of the above! Oh and I have to look after George too.
I am ready to move her to another school, this has gone on since she started and I find it incredibly stressful, as I said she is a pain but we have ways of managing her here, I can't understand why they are unable to do the same at school.
Anyway, because of all the stress combined with not loosing the 2 lbs I gained when I went out last Saturday my diet started to go downhill on Tuesday, it was just an excuse really, I also had that last supper feeling on Wednesday and had a lots of peanuts. I don't normally eat peanuts although I love them, Isobel is allergic to them, her throat swells so I don't take the chance of having them around the house, so in my messed up logic I thought I must eat the whole pack of peanuts, I did, its had a very odd effect on certain bodily functions!
The Dr was pleased with my weightloss, it only showed as 12 lbs on their scales as I was wearing jeans and a couple of pounds of peanuts too I should think!
Sorry for droning on, hope everyone is well.
