Aww good times all round! Though make sure he gets the divorce nice and quick... I've known too many people that are still waiting for them to do it 3-4-5 years down the line!

He's already on the case. I'm not going to pressure him, though. [STRIKE]He needs[/STRIKE] We both need to just have a nice time right now - take it easy, see how it goes. No pressure, just fun. Been a long time coming.

I'm smiling. He's really nice.

Oh I love that feeling... enjoy :cool:

I'm with everyone on the 'can not diet' front. Every kind of emotion makes me want to eat crap or treat myself to chinese or choccy I've got to say though that money saving is helping because if I'm having a NSD I wouldn't dream of ruining it for chocolate or takeaway (how's that for dedication to becoming DF!)

First day back on the cack pants diet today and I must say I've done well. It wasn't easy but I got there in the end and I've come to bed early so I can't eat anything now. I didn't go to the gym though ...booo! Lula have you been a good girl today??

Surely between us we can come up with a plan 2009 is supposed to be my year. I don't want to spend it being overweight, surrounded by clothes I can't get into, book towers and toiletry mountains. I want to spend it being skinny surrounded by cocktails, intellectual men and European city landscapes.

Might it help if you think of your lbs gain like your £s gain? Took a while to build up and will take a while to go away. And like with clearing debt, we all know that it's the pennies that add up (like your £400 sealed pot). Maybe try and attach a lbs value to each treat, you know, Cadbury's Creme Egg = 1/4lbs weight gain. NOT having one won't make you lose weight, but NOT having one means it's a little less weight you'll gain (if you're like me, 1 Creme Egg becomes 3 because "well, I've had one, I may as well have them all....") It might help

Personally, I've just stopped buying nice things. I can never be bothered to get my shoes on and go to the shop to buy myself a treat!

Right.

here are my bright ideas.

1. scrambled egg for breakfast. (protein is meant to fill you up right?) plus cereal bar at school
2. cereal at 11 ( my break)
3. Sandwich (not more then 5 points WW)
4. cereal bar at end of school
5. snacks in the evil evening- dried fruit, nuts, rich tea biscuits, jaffa cakes, sugar free jelly, ice lollies(home made) But instead of waiting for me being hungry I shall eat every couple of hours.
6. dinner - ww meal 8-10 points plus veg (free)

Drink - water, diet coke , black tea.

And Also just as I am going to bed (!)

that is why I started the 18 week thing - if I don't shift my backside it will be summer before I know it and I won't have anything to wear and won't feel happy going out and doing stuff.

sighs. as Scarlet O Hara says Tomorrow is a another day!

I definitely think snacks for work will help, am usually raiding the snack machine at work or else I am nearly fainting by lunch time. Another thing I keep meaning to do but always forget is to chew properly, eat slowly and stop as soon as I am full. Must do that! Forgot about sugar free jelly, I love that.

Right, must go to bed. Methinks I'll have to go into work tomorrow and not have another lie-in and work from home day.

Night all :kisses3:

Definitely snacks, helps to keep metabolism up - if you starve yourself all day then eat body is more likely to put weight on. Sports trainer friend says eat something every 3 hours. I try and stick to healthy stuff but do only buy healthy stuff I actually like... carrot sticks & houmous/ tzatziki, oatcakes & cheese, dark chocolate in case of emergency chocolate hit requirement.

Sarah, the shopping monster can eventually be tamed. I went to an designer outlet centre on the weekend with a friend who's shopping for her fabulous 6 week holiday - she bought shedloads, I bought what I went for. And d'you know what, I didn't mind. I got stuff I really really liked, I didn't miss out on anything I really really wanted, and was happy to get home and feel in control of things. My life is going the way I want it to go. Slowly but surely.

Yay :j @ Susu!

'Night all (except TDQO, morning to you)
