over spend and over eat

icka

Hi Guys

Jo stand back from the wine. My current downfall on the calorie front.

But hey we are not perfect. Well done with the weight loss lady you are doing so well. You are going to have to beat me with a large stick I have not being doing well at all. But determined to get back on track.

I know what you mean BlueJeans, it takes a while to see where your money really goes on! Before i had the internet i had martins first book - absoluteley brilliant in making me cut down my spending. However, although it helped me cut down drastically, i find it really diffucult to spend ANYTHING now. The bottle of wine in the cupboard was a birthday present, feel like i'm saving it for something when i probably should have drunk it on my birthday!
(P.S I too am a fan of stationary - ssh!)

Eveing Icka, No beatings given here. As i have just been saying to puzzled. "build a bridge and get over it" thats what my friend says, and thats all we can do when we feel we have slipped. " deal with it, get over it, forget it and move on"

so what you been up to give me all your "gen"

no no no help me!!!! i wanted an ice lolly with it being so hot but the shop was closed by the time DD was in bed.... so i ended up making flapjacks to cover my sugar craving .... now i have 10 flapjacks and wondering how i will manage to not eat them all in one go!!! I need to make these last at least 1 week and force OH to have a few too lol

blue jeans - we all have that mindset over some things, dont worry i used to say i didnt buy much for myself... but i bought so many cakes and buns and naughty stuff when i did my weekly shop!

Just got to say, when i read your name i go into full on rod mode :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I have never looked so closely at my money before, I'm amazed at what i wasted. OMG hope i will get in to the "find it difficult to spend anything club"

Stationary, don't know what that is or means to me. I buy pens and paper and use a computer ?????? crazy or what.

AND what do you girls thinks of this crazy behavior. I buy a diary write one or two days in it, then i want to scrap it, buy a new one and do the same again. Mind you i stop myself from doing this but i soooooo want to do it. I has to the clean slate thing ???

OMG ITS GOOD TO GET THIS STUFF OUT. Bet you's never thought i was such a crack pot. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: And "I'm" am trying to help "you" all :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Babyjayne, well done on the apple. I like to write "new" i have lotus organizer on my computer and use it a lot. I have a main one that has all my stuff in. Then i have other diarys in it. like my journal and my finances and i do the same with that, enter one or two things then erase and start a new one. i think, i think each new fresh diary is a new fresh start for me.

Hi bluejeans..

Well done you!!

Hi everyone :hello:

to pippo, Bargainfinder and Toffee! Congratulations on maintaining, Emmylou! Much better than a gain!! Well done to everybody to made wise choices today…

Puzzled – good luck with the blood test tomorrow morning, and I hope you feel better soon! (That smilie looks sooooooooo dodgy, but its meant in the right way!!).

Not a bad day for me (until about an hour ago, when I opened a bottle of wine…hmm, is it me or does there seem to be a theme running this evening on this thread…?! ). Food choices were quite good again, and I avoided the mini pork pie by feeding it to Mr P with his salad for dinner, and stuck to the healthier cold meats. (He is a little overweight, but not as much as me, so is better equipped to deal with these things – he also has a 7” height advantage when it comes to working out his BMI!!:rotfl:). Weirdly enough, despite all my talk about “ch*c*late”, I too am a savoury person. I can sit with unopened ch*c*late, b*scu*ts, and sw**ts in the house and have no problem, but packets of crisps and savoury pastries (sausage rolls/cheese & onion slices, etc) eat away at me if they are here and drive me crazy!!

Anyway, enough of this talk about naughty things. Thank you to everybody for all the fantastic support on here – Bluejeans is right…you are a fantastic group of girls (and no, that isn’t the wine talking – I have only had 2 small (100ml) glasses!! :rolleyes:).
