    Glad you're feeling better Gers.

    I have been hopeless, am getting fatter and uglier by the day :(

    I really need to make an effort but am just not focussed atm :(

    this is the hardest part of weight loss and after decades of fighting my weight i know think frame of mind is 90% of weight loss

    it may be worth you taking some time out just to relax and refocus yourself, especially if you have other factors that may be worrying you, it may be doing you no good constantly battling yourself and loosing over your weight loss and becoming more stressed over it

    another good week of weight loss, I love my diet system i get to eat steak and chips, chicken satay, roast lamb and chicken, and i get to eat a lot, my dinner plates are bigger than what most normal none dieters eat :D

    and I have dropped my BMI into morbidly obese, yep many people would not be happy being morbidly obese (but with my bloods and BP i dont mind so much) but when you think i was super super morbidly obese on 4th Jan (BMI 60+) I am well happy to be BMI 40+ :j

    mazzers, that is not true, please don't think like that :(

    You have had a lot on your mind these last few weeks so I'm not surprised you're not focussed. I think Eric is right & you need to take some time out, maybe treat yourself in some way & just chill out for a wee while :kiss:

    Gers, hope you feel better soon & you're back to your pollyanna self :)

    Eric, just want to say (again) you're doing great!! :D

    I'm doing ok, still sticking with low-gi (I won't talk about the trip to Whitby on Saturday. It might or might not have involved the consumption of a chip butty :whistle:) but still not drinking enough water or walking enough. I should get more time to myself from next week so I'm going to be concentrating more on me, me, me!! :rotfl:

    Will be having the last of my luscious soup for lunch today & I'm fancying a low-gi chicken curry for dinner tonight.

    See you all later :wave:

    No you flipping well don't. So shut up, relax and stop beating yourself up. The way you're feeling is just a phase, it will pass. Just accept that things are a bit crap right now but that it's temporary. The only time to worry or get down about it all is if you turn green.........it's not a particularly fetching body enhancement. ;)

    Suppose I better send you one of these >:grouphug: but don't read any more into it than there is, I may be on the verge of becoming single again, but I'm not 'turning'. ;):p
