Earth Angel Andie - 2015 Diary

[Andie27]

Have just returned from my romantic getaway and official "thawing out"! Hello spring! BRING IT SUMMER!
I am so exhausted but have a bit of travel insomnia. Am going grocery shopping tomorrow morning-ish 😈 am planning on getting back to my program first thing Monday morning. Will update you on the holiday and whatever else has been going on soon. I will be spending the weekend catching up with all your diaries - I hope I haven't missed too much. Love to all. Blessings Andie xoxo

Are you ready to rumble?In the naughty corner, weighing in at 109kgs! At least I'm not back to where I started in February. Thanks silver lining!
Didn't do as much damage as I thought I would whilst away which means that it should take about 4 weeks to get back to where I was before I got sick and that's a blessing.
So officially I gained 6kgs all up over the past 2 months of being sick and then going away.
I am so glad I am going back on plan. I know that works for me and I am keen to get started.
I have spent my last day off weighing and bagging up my protein and veggies for this week. I have made a big salad so my lunches are quick and easy to organise in the morning. I don't do mornings very well!
I'm back to work tomoz and am really looking forward to it. Except for the fact that the fundraising chocolate stash is going to be very difficult to resist. Am thinking of locking my purse in my car. Hmmm not a bad plan that one. In fact, that's exactly what I will do.
It's TTOM for me with week and am already feeling bloated so this means that a pimple breakout isn't too far off too. Oh the joys of it all!
I am prepared for the detox headaches and have stocked up on painkillers...am dreading it but am also excited in the knowledge that I am going to start losing weight again and will be looking and feeling great just in time for Christmas and summer!
I've been here before and am as prepared as I am ever going to be so bring on day 1 and 10 days of detox I'm ready to kick butt!
Will post again tomorrow. Am trying to catch up on everyone's diaries.
Wish me luck.
Hugs Andie 😉

Welcome back Andie - oh the thought of thawing out has me green with envy lol

You did great - the 6kg shouldn't take long to lose at all and like you said you aren't back to where you started and I believe holidays are made to be enjoyed - so good on you

TTOM arghhhhhhhh I hear you mine is due the week I decided to start up again - WTF was I thinking - but I guess if we can get through that first up we can do anything

Happy Tuesday
Wesite xx

[Andie27]

Thanks Westie. My uterus is about to fall out. Am in so much pain. Need painkillers. But first coffee!
Breakfast was deviation free! Woohoo.
Happy tight-ass-tuesday to you too!!!
Hugs Andie x

[WhereAmI?]

Hi Andie! Missed catching up with you all! I have endo so I dread that TOM, it's in my back so it renders me immobile, bloated and miserable, I'm lucky I am a savory person though so I don't crave sugary things! I hope you are taking some pain relief and feeling ok, thinking of you, mine will probably hit end of next week

[Andie27]

Hi sweetheart. I missed you too. Lovely to hear from you. Hope you are ok. I crave salty food on my first day of TOM so am having feta cheese and salad for lunch today.
Speaking of... my stomach is eating my backbone it's making so much noise. Better go eat!
Water intake is getting there. I think I've only had half a litre so better get a wriggle on with that too.
Vitamins check ✔
That's all for now.
Hugs Andie 😉

[Andie27]

Yes! Day 1 done and dusted.
Phew! Had an inkling of a headache but smashed it with extra strength codeine! Am on my last half litre of water then off to Bedfordshire. Sweet dreams all. Love and blessings Andie xoxo

Hi Andie

Well done with Day 1. I am finally finished with my travels and I am also taking a few weeks of strict eating. Day 2 done and I have a big pimple coming out - thats my detox punishment along with the headache.

Anyhow onwards we go - good luck.

Hi Tes. Thanks for stopping by my diary. It's been a really full on couple of months and am glad to be back on plan. I missed the routine and truth be told, I was starting to feel the extra 6 kgs. So day 2 done and dusted for me too.
Need to drink more water flush all the the toxins. I've got a breakout on my chin as punishment! Glad we're in the same boat.
I've been a bit slack catching up with other people's diaries, will make sure I stop by yours.
Thanks for the message.
Hugs Andie 😉

Hi my beautiful Cohens family. I have relapsed and attempted suicide again. For some strange reason, someone ALWAYS seems to find me. It's so weird. I've been in the psych ward for almost 5/6 months now. I am told that it is important to re-enter/reconnect with my success so am being monitored by my team to ensure that I have a positive attitude. As I have had such a wonderful and loving experience here. I have been encouraged to reconnect with you all again.

[Donzie]

Hi Andie,

I'm fairly new to this Cohen's forum, so I hope you don't mind me posting on your diary. I just wanted you to know how much reading your diary has helped me. It takes bravery to write the way you do, to expose such vulnerability to others. By doing so it helps other readers (such as myself) feel less alone through all this. You are a gentle, sensitive soul and the world needs a million (no make that a billion) more just like you. I hope you are feeling better.

Donna.

Hi Andie

So good to hear from you again. Cant believe what you have been through. You are such a lovely beautiful soul and when I was first on the forums you are the one that kept in touch and that meant the world to me. Your support was incredible and I'm sure many others on the forum feel the same. You are still with us and we'd really like you to stay. So much more to do and achieve out there.
We are here for you and wish you the best with all the loving light that I can send.

Hi my beautful Cohen-sisters.
Am finally home and am able to get back to my life. What a journey...I don't know where to begin. I lost myself in so many different and difficult ways that I have no idea where to begin so rather than go into all my drama today, I thought I would start with a clean slate. I'll share what I've learned with you all in time.
I have commenced back OP as of today and so far so good. Am taking my vitamins as well as chromium, no hunger headache yet but it's early days!
I have the most amazing butcher in the world who has been given my allowances and has pre-weighed and kryovaced each protein and poultry allowance for the next 2 weeks. So I have come home to everything being done and ready for me. I just have to cook and eat.
It was too hard to do my plan in hospital as you pretty much get what's given and when you're watched like a hawk in everything you get pretty much dobbed on if you don't eat your food. They see it as an depression indicator so if I wanted out - I had to eat.
I hope to have the same succes as I did before I got sick and I just loved being on here with you all.
So I now weigh 126kgs. Pretty much all I lost last year has returned but am not going to beat myself up about that, I've punished myself enough. I will update my tucker and my diary shortly.
My goal this week is to go df and drink lots of water, update my diary or start a new one, update the old ticker and keep in touch with everyone.
I have thought about you all constantly and wished I had my phone and access to the net but that's all behind me know.
Here's to the new year, a new me and new love for life.
Talk soon my beauties.
Love and hugs Andie xoxo
