I've had a rubbish afternoon. I can hardly move so have been on the couch most of the day flicking through the channels. I've spent the last couple of hours in tears, I seem to have found all the sad things on tv. A wee dog had to get put down because it bit a kid (but it ended up that way because the owner was a useless git and it was left to run amok in the house). You saw it going into the vets and being carried out afterwards and buried in the owner's garden.

Then I caught the tail end of Ghost Whisperer (which I never watch) and a Mum had died and left her 3 kids. You saw her watching over them as a ghost and having to say goodbye.

I seem to have my over emotional head on right now. I hope no-one comes to the door....I'm all red and puffy.

I've also ate loads of crap simply because I've been sitting about all day.

I read an article in the Daily Record about someone who got hypnotised into believing she'd had a gastric band fitted. I'm off to find out more........:D

Blimey hun, when you wallow you really wallow;)

Loads of :grouphug: and :kisses3:to you, the only positive thing I can say is that you often feel better after a good cry, hope you do:)

Sorry I shouldn't laugh but you sound like me. I swear I WAS hard as nails pre kids and now? A blubbing emotional wreck My H went to rent a film Saturday night and he struggles so much to find somethng that's not going either have me in tears or give me paranoid delusions in the wee small hours

Oh and !!!!!! - I lost 3lbs over the course of a week and a half and overnight it all went back on again.
F*!cking scales........I hate you. You lie and get my hopes up - !!!!!! :mad:

I always have too much time on my hands. Sadly it's a skill I've perfected over the years. :rotfl: Anything sad to do with kids or animals always gets me anyway. I'm such a wuss.

dd and I are the same:owe cry at everything and everyone around us is hard as nails, have to agree with Bitsy too, deffo got worse since having dd, things with old people start me off as well, even the news:(

I didnt cry til i was 34 and now i cant watch the news or read the papers or i'm off.
The old breast cancer ad (where the young girl in a wedding dress says 'my mum should be here') starts me blubbing.

Its gone a bit dead on here these days

It's a lovely day, unfortunately i'm working so wont be seeing much of it.
Week off next week :j

I was in bed, I was tired.

Went to bed just after 8pm last night with more ibuprofen and a hot water bottle for my back. I am officially old.

Still sore today but is loads better so at least I can be moving more today. Being a lazy git is ok if it's a lifestyle choice, however having it forced on you is boring.

Told OH last night I wanted to go see the hypnotherapist person who tells you you've had a gastric band fitted. Tis expensive and he's not overly chuffed. I figure if I attack this from as many angles as possible at the one time, I'm upping my chances of success. So diet/exercise/hypnotherapy all together, surely I'll have more of a fighting chance?!

Let's face it if I was able to do this all by myself, I would have done it years ago and wouldn't be a fat git now!

That's just how I felt Jo. Hence the drastic medical diet. Is the expensive hypnotherapist more expensive than Alizonne? Otherwise I'd really recommend what I'm doing. It's FAST. You have been sounding lately just like I felt before I started this. Right at the end of your tether, depressed with yourself and your lack of progress. Sometimes you need drastic action and sadly that tends to cost.

aliasojo

I have no idea tbh. The problem is, I'd still be able to cheat with the Alizonne...it still involves having to stick to something. It's the sticking I have a problem with.

Atually, if we're gonna get all deep and meaningful....it's affecting ALL areas of my life now, this lack of sticking thing. There's little I start these days that I actually finish. I lose heart with everything whether it's diet or DIY.

I do wonder if I did actually achieve something, it might have a beneficial effect on me generally.

Oh sod it, I'm off to find that newspaper article again.......

Hiya,

Hope you dont mind me gate crashing your thread, struggling a bit for support. I started dieting about 2 weeks ago, eating no more than 600 cals a day (please dont say its not healthy, etc) I need a boost to get me started. And I have had the odd treat :beer:

Ideally want to lose 2 stone - would be extatic with 2.5. And so far I have lost 7lb. I'm feeling quite motivated at the mo and I have started going on the exercise bike for 40mins-1hr a day. Yesterday I also ordered the 'shred' dvd which is a 20 min workout which has had brilliant reviews. I struggle alot for time as I work 70-80hours a week so I need to do things that are quick and easy and I dont have the money for a gym.

I've got 5 weeks till my holiday and would like to lose another stone before then, which is just less than 3lb a week :eek: but I am going to try my very best then another stone once I am back.

AND the hardest bit - I need to keep it off!

Anyway thats my story! Good luck fellow dieters! x
