Okay, so I'm back to 146. Thank-tha-lord. 146 I can handle. Almost.
I GOT A JOB! A proper one. I'm going to be a part-time au pair for a lady who lives round the corner from me. My job is to look after her kid most afternoons/evenings, cook him supper, read him stories, do art and music with him and put him to bed. Some nights I'll stay over as his mum's work takes her all over the UK, so I'll be a part-time live in babysitter. The best part (besides not being at home half the week or around adults, a.k.a. getting away with not eating) is that it pays £7.50 an hour. I don't even have to clean, I just get to hang out with her son, occasionally do the school run, and help her out with basic tasks around the house, as she's 5 months preggers.
Eating early tea means I won't have to eat when I'm babysitting, and I hate eating in other peoples' houses. Seriously, I hate it. I just end up bingeing when people tell me to 'help myself' to whatever's in the fridge, so saying I've already had supper will fix that problem, and I won't be tempted.
In other news, I have to get my wisdom teeth out. All four. Total bore, but a) the pain is getting pretty unbearable, so it's probably for the best, and b) I heard you can lose a couple of pounds getting them pulled... maybe it won't be so bad? I'm just hoping it won't take me out of work for too long :/
Hope everyone is well.
Congrats on the job hun! As for the wisdom teeth I can tell you that since swelling and pain puts you on a forced liquid diet for 24hrs minimum up to a week, it does aid in loss. In my case I was in so much pain when I did eat,I could only do 1/2 portions cuz it was painful and took a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteThough you can't drink from a straw or smoke for a week after they are out cuz it may lead to infection, which is a pain in the ass. I got infection, it sucks though liquids only for +4weeks slashed my apetite to nothing.
Its different for everyone but I wish you the best, hopefully it goes great and you get the good "side effects"
Congratulations on the job, sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope your wisdom teeth aren't too painful.
Also that diet sounds amazing, I might try it as it's half term now and I always binge horribly during holidays because I get overwhelmed by meals.
I hope you're doing okay. Take care.
