Default Has anyone else lost their appetite?

Now this may just be me, but the closer we get to stepping on that plane the smaller my appetite has got. So much so that I can hardly eat a thing and the thought of eating makes me feel queasy and we've still 3 weeks to go!! - The upside of this is that I may have a body worthy of the beach yet

It has totaly taken me by surprise as normally in times of stress etc I do the complete opposite and pig out big time!!

Im not having 2nd thoughts and I am really looking forward to emmigrating and really excited and nervous but not looking forward to saying goodbye like everyone.

What I am wondering is how has/is making the move affecting everyone else?

Yep - that's me! However, I have never taken up anyone elses seat (cept the OH's). I think planes in general try to squeeze as many people in as possible. Just the differences between pitch and seat width between airlines, shows you that seats/leg room is not uniform in restrictions.

Of course, I am a little sensitive about this whole issue so shall keep quiet now It's all very well to make fun of myself....but I don't handle it too well when someone else makes fun of me.

oh, I wasn't really I wasn't! It's my sense of humour...I rarely say anything serious.

Nah, you're ok

I am just up to eye balls in packing boxes, my last week at work and the realisation that 25.5lbs weight loss might be fantastic but is no where near enough to satisfy myself when I am flying in 4 weeks! (Had hoped for 50lbs)

Not sad just obsessive

On the other hand I'd love a personal trainer

I am doing WW too but what with my schedule being allover the place - have stopped meetings now (until I get to Perth).

I maintained last week but have no idea for this week. Sorry for your 1lb gain! I am sure you will lose it again real soon.

No just had a baby, really packed it on. Just got the holiday photos back and in the corner is a Little Japanese/Icelandic guy with what appears to be a harpoon sneaking up on me.

It just can't go on!

Totally undertstand ElshaUK's wish for maximum poundage loss!
