Day 60 - Sunday, 16th November 2008

Well last night I went out for my cousins birthday. We had a really good night. Five girls, all having a fabulous night together. My other cousin made an amazing cake, thankfully it looked so good (she decorated it like a pink castle) that nobody wanted to cut into it, so there was no way I could be tempted by it!

But honestly, I can't remember the last time I had so much fun in town. Usually, it's dead boring, but perhaps because I am feeling more confident, it was easier for me to let my hair down so to speak.

So I stuck to water all night. Drank loads the stuff!! And we danced all night. It's amazing that before I started LL, just under 3 stone ago, there is no way I could have danced my way through even a couple of songs before my feet started hurting and I was out of breath. And now in the past week, I have had two nights of jumping around like a loon without any breathing issues or troublesome feet. I've even compared the gig I went to on Thursday night to the last gig I went to, which would have been at V festival. I had to leave half way through the Prodigy's set because I was in so much pain from my feet.

Give me a few months, when I go to see the Prodigy in April and we'll see how much better I feel then. If I have made this much progress already!

Back to last night though, I was loving the girls being together and having fun, my cousin was loving that it was the first birthday for that she can remember that she actually enjoyed, and everyone said that I was living proof you don't need to drink to have a good time! On top of all of this, I am starting to get used to male attention! I even had to fight one of them off me - that was fun. Not!

Towards the end of the night, I was getting a little bit of a headache though. I don't know why, I can't work it out! Whether it was tiredness or what, but by the time I got home - via the kebab shop that I was able to resist, to my delight - I had a really horrible headache and I felt really light headed and very sick. I did wonder if it was because I needed a foodpack. So I had a hot chocolate and a couple of panadol and sat down with the girls! Yes, I sat there with my hot chocolate while they all sat there with the kebabs and chips, and I am proud to say it didn't bother me one little bit.

Five minutes later though, I threw up. I just have no idea what that's all about. I mean it's typical isn't it. I'm the one not drinking. And yet, I'm the one who's sick! Everyone says, "Oh that'll be great not drinking. just think, no headache, no being sick." How wrong were they?

I wonder if it has some bearing on me doing too much. Perhaps dancing and jumping about for 5 hours is a little too much when I'm only taking in 500 calories a day and I'd only had like 125 at that point! I guess it's another question to pose to my counceller. See if she can shed some light on it.

Sunday has been long though. Fetching and carrying grannies and taking them for lunch. Such fun. Parentals back on Saturday. CAN'T WAIT!!
