Ella is 'Almost There'... AGAIN!

[loveat116]

I broke up with Seb, it just seems that I love to hurt myself.

I am so sorry that you had to end it! But understandable if you don't think you will feel the same. Shame the retail therapy didn't help. Not really much i can say except try and keep your chin up. I will try and focus on the positives instead.
Well done on paasing the TAFE assignments and completing 2 units. How many units do you have left?

8 units left for this course. Im currently doing 3 classes, so I just need to pick up 5 more independant study units and I can pass the course.

If I wasn't so lazy I would have completed all the units by now lol...

Hey Ella

Just checking up on everyone. Sounds like your having a rough time of it doll. I know i can tend to get abit stressy and obsessive over points/calories/kilojoules and food in general really its hard not to sometimes when you want something badly like reaching a magic number. Plus add to it a break up and all that goes with it. I dont really know what advice i can offer, but maybe ask yourself what would harder, losing that one kilo, or accepting your body the way it is now? (which i might add from your last pics, is looking trim and taut! You can see your hard work that is for sure!) Try not to be too hard on yourself Ella, you have achieved so much and in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter if you dont lose that last kilo??

Enjoy your purchases and take it easy!

it's a good thing you were able to take mini steps and was able to achieve your mini goals. That would be a great motivation to strive harder.
