Low-carb diets support thread

Its my birthday today. My husband and I are not speaking. I'm sitting upstairs on my bed with a bottle of wine. Will drink the whole bottle and then sleep. I had a good day. My sister brought me loads of flowers. Some lavender for outdoors, a gardenia plant to keep and some bunches to put in vases.

I feel 50/50. Drifting from self pity to being grateful that I have a sister who loves me. I have also thought about going to buy a packet of cigs.

Sometimes, I just don't care. Why am I even bothering to stop? I am married to a money waster and !!!!. Excuse my language.

I don't have any children. I dont give a damn about other half's children -i know that makes me sound cold to some people, but really, why should I work to leave them in a better way? Nobody has ever helped me. And I don't even know his kids very well. One of them is ok. But not enough for me to spend my entire late years working to pay a mortgage, to leave the house to him!

It seems a little trite to say 'Happy Birthday' but I'm going to anyway!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Why not go down and offer him a glass, if he's anything like DS2's dad it'll have slipped his mind. Give him a chance to not be a !!!! !

I wouldn't do that. As its my bithday.. and for once, im not going to apologise. He is a !!!!!. He really is. And to hold a grudge on my brithday, just shows him up for how petty he is.

I've had it with ALWYAS being the one to apologise. If he doesn't come around, then its separate beds all the way. This is night 3 that i've slept in sp0are room, and I must say its nice. I can really stetch out adn I dont have to hear him coughing and snoring. And breathing hot air onto me, and hitting me with his elbow! Bliss.

Jerry, don't have a ciggie please! It's not going to hurt your OH (which is what you want, really) but it will hurt you.
Yes, he's being an @rse - he's a man isn't he? Stick to your new healthy life style - let him stew if he wants to.

Happy Birthday by the way :bdaycake:

Wot Sheila says with bells on :-). Thanks for sharing your story Andrew's Mum, looking forward to seeing your recipes.

Jerry - Cr*ppy Birthday, make this the lowest point of the month and work upwards from it, you can't change others unless they want to change, you can write birthday's on a calendar but you can't make a husband buy a card and gift.

YOU want to change, and ARE changing before our eyes on this thread already.

Your goals, your rules, keep heading in the direction you have chosen and love yourself enuff. to get what you want. Get a good night's kip and don't let husbands moods send you running for ciggies.

You know what I'm doing? I'm getting my pom poms out again, dancing around and doing my *Go Jerry* dance! Thankfully, I don't give a damn how silly I look ;-)

Theres always a stage when something amazing is about to happen that our mind goes gooey and we think 'I can't do this' ... childbirth, marathon running, quitting our addictions, dieting, all sorts of things. Day 3 is the hardest for quitting smoking, have a read online, there are a lot of success stories out there, I think the NHS quit site has hundreds of stories and a lot of people say day 3 is mega hard... and it is, but ride it out. Sleep through the rest of it if you can. Tomorrow is another day and you can do it!

* Go Jerry, Go Jerry, Go Jerry!*

Oh and Happy Birthday! Sod your Husband and his moodiness, quitting smoking is a gift to yourself :-) xx

Poem to cheer jerry up.....

Carbs are bad
Fags are mad
Men are gits
So are zits.


It's an 'alternative' poem. :rotfl:

Happy birthday jerry. Tomorrow is another day. x

Well i'm home , just dealing with the jet lag for a few days then i am straight back to low carbing ... I'm so desperate to get back to eating healthily ... I made the best choices with food on holiday but we stayed with friends for 10 days and they felt compelled to feed us ... I explained my diet to my friend so was ever hopeful that after nearly two weeks of eating crap ( even though i ate as healthily as i could) that my last 10 days would be great food .... It really wasnt ... It was bread bread and more bread ... Night time pasta lots of fruit etc ... I have been constipated for weeks and just cant wait to get back into eating right

I was thinking of doing two weeks or so very low carb ( maybe 20g a day or something ) ... Not to try and loose some of the weight i have put on but to shock my body into health again ... Anyone got any opinions on this ? Should i ? Is it too dangerous ?

20g of carb is the figure given for Atkins' Induction so completely do-able.

I stayed on Induction for weeks/months last time. Not dangerous at all.
