Having had a week of good news for Lizzie with such a fantastic distinction in Grade 2 piano and an invitation to the RSA, a drop of 0.1 kg this week has rather put a dampener on things. What has made it slightly more irritating for Lizzie is that she was convinced that the positive attitude that she's maintained all week, along with a general feeling of having eaten more each day would have lead to a gain.
.
Unfortunately it was not to be, and now we need everyone's support please. Obviously Lizzie is very disappointed and I'm sure it would help to hear some of your thoughts and words of encouragement. This week is all about that elusive first pound, and the more incentive she has with reminders of how you're all behind her, the more likely it is that the scales will tip in the right direction.

Diary entries will follow when I can get my hands on them. I'm sorry that there can't be an update everyday and I know you'll all be tuning in to hear the next installment - it's far more worthy than Eastenders or Corrie!
.
The sponsorship totals are still on the increase but please keep letting people know so that they can get on board and chip in with their support (and their cash!). We'd like to reach the new target of 25k if possible. Some of your friends may not like to use computers and since our efforts to contact people so far have relied on e-mail, word of mouth from everyone will go a long way to recruiting more bodies.
.
Total amount per lb of weight gained: £956.81
.
Total amount to be raised if target of 21 lbs is reached: £20,092.97
.
There are still a few people who haven't given me their Pounds for Pounds figure. If you wouldn't mind e-mailing me (hannah@hannahshergold.com) or calling me (07729 219590) it'd be great to keep on top of the totals. If you're unsure about how to work out what you'd like to pledge, please read one of the previous posts entitled "The donation system" and it'll tell you all you need to know.
.
So get commenting everybody. Fingers crossed for a gain next Tuesday!
.
All the best,

Dear Lizzie
Do persevere and you will gain weight there's no question of that, I think you are really brave to have come as far as you have already, every one loves you and wants you to feel happy and well. So go for it girlxxxx
Lizzie, no-one underestimates how difficult this must be for you, but YOU CAN DO THIS - believe me I am ALWAYS RIGHT and you are absolutely strong enough to cost me a great deal of money!! I am saving up already. Lots of love xxxx
My thoughts and prayers are always with you Lizzie. We can all imagine how hard this must be for you but we know you have the strength and courage to work through the tough times and come out the other side. Stick with it, we all believe in you!!!
Lizzie,
As a fellow anorexia sufferer in recovery, as well as a blogger, I'm sending you all the best. It's so hard, but my life is so much better for having sucked it up and gained the weight.

Bill and I are really flabbergasted by your determination to get on with this really fantastic effort. Just remember the shitty thoughts are just that something in your mind they are not reality! Reality is you doing this for you and for the hospice. Lots of love Karen & Bill
