Puppy dog tails

 

Bella was arrived like a whirlwind. I'd completely forgotten what puppies got up to! She's into everything. She wants to bite everything. She's trying to climb up all the furniture. In the garden she tries to chew leaves, weeds, snail shells, branches, big stones, little stones, plants, flowers, soil. However, she is managing to wee and poo outside - as well as inside too of course! I don't know how on earth we managed without a crate with Libby! Mind she did eat the odd shoe or envelope lol. At night Bella cries for about 10-20 minutes but once she settles that's her quiet all night. She's cute as a button.

I have one more week of eating how I do now. Then I have one week of holiday eating (I'm thinking cocktails, ice-cream, wine, chips, puddings, gin, and cocktails). Then I'm going straight onto a strict Liver Reduction Diet - low sugar, low fat and very low calories, for 2 weeks! Then it's op time and my life won't be the same ever again. I've been unhappy with my weight and size for forever. And as you all know it's the maintaining bit that I find impossible. I've always been honest and admitted that it's vanity that makes me feel this way, but just recently I've felt diabetes tapping me on the shoulder! Along with my high blood pressure, sore knee and the sleep apnoea, my health is scaring me too. I have no idea how I'll physically feel after three surgery but once it's done it's done. I intend to embrace all the changes and I'm so excited for the potential of where I might be in 6 months. I shall keep you all posted.

People need to understand the difference between want and need. I want to be thin, but I need chocolate.
