Weight issues

As you know I'm not the slimmest person in the world ;-)And soon I'm going on a long trip by plane to LA.
So I started a very strict diet in January in which I just ate 1300 calories a day, lots of vegetables and good stuff. I usually don't eat that much vegetables because many of them make me sick. Anyway I have been on this diet for 11 weeks, very strict. I have written down everything I eat so I wouldn't cheat and think I ate less than I did. A very strict routine.
So how much have I lost during these 11 weeks? Take a guess. You can never guess I think.

Well I will tell you - 1 kilo!!!! 1 kilo what is that? Nothing at all! What's worse is that I got totally constipated and felt awful. I think it's because of all the vegetables but I don't know. So now I don't give a damn! I go back to what I usually eat and what I feel good eating. I don't eat very much and people often comment on that. How can I look the way I do when I don't eat more. My doctor, yes I have talked to him about this, says it sounds a bit like Cushings syndrome. I don't want no more syndromes! I have enough with the ones I already have, thank you. I will have a check-up with blood tests and other stuff and then meet my doctor again next week so I get all the medicine I need and he will clear me that I'm good to travel :-)


I usually don't feel bad about my body and how I look because I know it's not my doing. I mean it's not that I have eaten me to this. It's just my different diseases, medicine and lack of exercise (due to pain) that has made me like this. But the only time I feel really sad is when on planes! Because of my big stomach it's very hard and I often have to ask for extensions to the belt. The table in front won't go down so very hard to eat. But that is also why I always travel in business class. From Stockholm to London it's not that different just that you have an empty seat beside you. But from London to Los Angeles is totally different. You have like your own compartment and there is plenty of room to your table and you are also able to lie down and take a nap (if you are able to).

I know that most people struggle with weight issues from time to time but when you see someone weighing in at 56 kg saying they are fat, I get angry! What message does it send to young girls (and especially if they have daughters).

Enough of this moaning but sometimes you just have to vent, I'm sorry.
Tomorrow is our annual meeting with the Rheumatic association district and I have a lot of tasks. I have to show the budget and the annual economic status. Then I also have to propose the fees for the board which then will be subject for decision of the members. There will also be election of the new board. I'm up again for treasurer (which I have been and still are)and also as delegate for the Swedish Rheumatic association assembly. We will see what happens.

The day after the working committe are having lunch at our chairwoman's house. Saturday I will go to the Royal Opera and see Don Giovanni. That should be fun. Sadly it's the last opera of the season :-( But we will go again as soon as the new season starts in September :-)

The sun is shining here and despite a cold night I think it will be nice during the day, maybe up to +5-6 C. How about that? Now I really need to work. I hope you will have a great day. Today is the Waffle day here and I will treat my co-workers to waffles as a dessert after lunch.Take care and talk to you soon.

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).  Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
