Hello all. I was talking to my brother the other day and he said he liked this blog cos it was light. Ha, its funny how at times i feel like a total whinger and he sees it as light. My sister also likes catching up with it but I never really know what to put so i hope you aren't all bored senseless. Its been a big weekend and week to come. I gave my son and his girlfriend a baby shower today. She is due it two weeks (this is the one who told me Christmas eve I was gonna be a Nana) and now the time is almost here. Amazing how quick it goes. She looks quite uncomfortable but it got me thinking how when I was pregnant I looked like a beached whale unlike this tiny wee girl who still fits her pre preggy jeans! 21 years ago today I was over due to give birth to my girl. I gained only 6kg throughout the pregnancy but as I was already over 100kg it didn't really matter. The pregnancy before hers I gained just under 70kgs yep that's right 70 kilos in one pregnancy, I managed to gain 5 kg in 3 days at one stage. Fuck i was stupid. I really thought the weight just somehow fell off when you had the baby and it does except for the fact that 24 years later I am finally lighter than the day I gave birth to him! Glad those days are over. So, this Thursday is my girls 21st. We are going out to tea which is something that I dread given that I cant even manage an entree size most days. Oh well will wrap whatever it is up and pop it in my bag for the dogs I guess. My mother in law is a bit shocked at how anti social the band is. I don't give a toss really. Its a small price to pay to stay on top of it. I think its a bit unnerving for her when I get up and down to the loo all the time. I must say that I have craved stuffing my face and not chucking. I still don't get anorexia. Im sure I must just about be one and I cant shift those scales. Im a plateaued anorexic lol. In saying that today is the first day since my last fill that I have really eaten heaps. I mean really heaps. 2 pikelets with jam and cream and two pieces of cream cake and a sausage roll and some other stuff too. Its that time of the month and for some reason
I get a day when it on and I can really eat without chucking. Will be gone tomorrow so just have to enjoy the break out while I can.
Friday my in laws go home. I will miss them. I really love having family over. I wish they were closer or we were. It makes me homesick but at least this time I don't go to the airport as I am working so I wont be a blubbering mess. Saturday is Emma's 21st birthday party in a 70's theme. That should be fun. Well no more news from me. Blog you soon. xx The overweight anorexic

Hey Ho, How are you all? Isn't it terrible how we take things for granted. You know just little everyday things but when they go wrong Oh My what a drama it is. Things like pooing for instance. I never think about it.................. Feel the urge and off I go except I cant go and now I have a whole lot of stuff natural and otherwise to get me back on track which is all very well until you get hit with the uh oh moment while you are out. Ok so you get the message on that one. My in laws are here from NZ at the moment. We have been doing the tourist things which brings me to my next bitch. I took them on a huge drive 5 hours to the southern most point of WA where there is a lighthouse. Its not all that interesting but the Southern and the Indian ocean meet so Im thinking that might be a cool place to take the sight see'ers. We get there (I'm shattered from the marathon driving effort) only to find a notice saying it is $5 per adult to stand on the grounds and $3 per child. What the! That is bullshit, I understand a gold coin donation but $23 to stand on some grass. I don't think so. So, we went and had Chinese instead. My mother in law thinks the band is terribly anti social as I had to keep going to the loo. It really does get me down a bit too but that's just the price of it I guess.
Now for bitch number 3. My 18 yr old son (the one that is going to be a dad in 4 weeks) has been laid off from his job. So the local paper ran an article about him standing on the side of the highway with a sign that says 'hire me'. The article clearly says ' my only negative is I do not have my drivers licence'. He gets 4 offers of jobs all saying you need you drivers licence. Grrrrrrr. Anyway that's my bitch for today. Now I am off to take him around the local CBD to see if he can get some work. If you are reading this and know some labouring type work going in Perth South then please leave me a message.
PS I can eat pork crackle without it getting stuck .mmmmmmmmm..
