Hi Girls,

Not been doing a lot of posting, had horrendus family stuff to deal with over the weekend. My lodgers were great, so that was better than I expected, I know I am a weirdo...:o

Anyway, poorly has been having a lot of problems, found him passed out on the kitchen floor on Monday night, so was up at the hospital until the small hours. They let him out on Tuesday morning, I could not believe it, however, he has been better, he went to his work today to hand in his sick lines and the boss is going to try and get him some help. He seemed a lot calmer when I saw him this afternoon, hopefully he will not touch anything tonight. This whole episode has let me see that a drunk is not just some wee dosser you would see in town crashed out on the pavement, it can happen to anyone. My family member is a respected member of the community and has a really good job, he can earn £2000 per week, yes per week!!! I will be more sympathetic with people with drink problems in the future.

I just hope that he can sort it because he stands to lose a lot if he can't get out of it.

And I think I have problems, the only thing wrong in my life is lack of money, I'm glad I don't have anything like that to deal with as well.

Well, that's my cheery input for tonight, I hope that people aren't getting fed up with the thread, is everyone on holiday, or are they busy with the kids being off school?

Speak to you all later,

ive been hiding because ive been bad

Im going to keep popping in - but honestly, ive been so poorly that at the moment there is no point in me trying to cut down because im making myself feel worse - off to the Dr tomorrow to see if he is going to put me down

I have decided my mission is to stay the same weight - this time 4 years ago i was a size 22/24 and 19 stone, 3 years ago i was 17stone, 2 years ago i was 15 stone and then by last year (june to be precise) i got down to 13stone 7lbs (my recorded weight on the 1st of june)

Now for my height (5'8) that is still over weight by 2 stone.

But today i am 13stone 8lbs - over the past year i have never been more that 13st 13lbs and have never been less than 13st 4lbs but in that time ive given up smoking (total of 6 months, first attempt 2 1/2 months, current record 3months, one week and 2 days (not that im counting) and ive given up countless cakes, chocolate bars, drinks, nights out etc and im no happier with me or my body.

So i think ive decided its time to start learning to be happy with my body - i mean im 25 and i dont want to spend the rest of my life saying i cant have a piece of cake because i know i will be miserable - i think its time that i learnt to live with my body and be happy - if i carry on pushing i can see myself going back to the comfort eating and going back a few years because i know i tend to do all or nothing

Im sorry if i have let any of you down and i will still be popping in and posting, but i hope you understand when i say ive given up smoking, ive dieted for 5 years on and off and really worked hard but now, if im going to be happy, ive got to start to live within reason and not make myself guilty for wanting choc and to stop being jealous of people who are a size 6 (a physical imposibility for me)

Hello everyone! can i join please ( late comer i know but....)
This is totally the thread for me! i eat coz im stresed about the debt and then end up spending more money we dont have on more food that i dont need! dont know what i weigh ( will go and find out in a mo') but i know its more than I'd like to! am quite good at losing weight quickly but its the keeping it off that i find hard... all it takes is a nasty red letter to come trough the door and im down the shop buying comfort food or on the phone for a curry! hope ou dont mind me barging in on what seems to be a very busy thread but i like all the ideasbeing shared and hope it'll motivate me to do something!

Keep coming back to chat puzzled, I think even if you are maintaining your weight that's good enough. I think you've lost enough already anyway.

Good morning peeps!
Sorry - I've been away on an impromptu weekend away; spent money and ate loads and enjoyed every minute of it!!
Chickened out of a weigh in last week as we spent Fri - Mon with the in-laws on their holiday in Wales. I got terribly sunburned digging holes on the beach for my 4 and 3 year old neice and nephew :-)

So now it's back on the straight and narrow before I go on holiday!!

Puzzled - I am with you on the being happy where you are; personally I am still trying to lose weight, but I am also working on being happy with who I am and what I look like already - well done to you

DH and I are off on our big holiday in 2 1/2 weeks time (booked before LBM; however glad we persisted with the payments). It's all paid for and we have alllocated spending money, first week is all inclusive and the second week is half board, so we are looking forward to having a great time.

I haven't been through and read all the posts yet as the work has piled up on my desk after having 3 days off; so I'll just say I hope everyone is well, and I'll try and catch up soon!

Hey everyone.... been a few days since i posted, have been feeling a bit under the weather the past few days.
Anyway, have had two no spend days this month and cut down a lot on spending and thus not buying treats, ie chocolate/biscuits/sweets so feel that i am doing better!

Its a beautiful day here today may sit outside for a bit with a book and catch a few rays!
