vixarooni

2 jobs applied for already and its only twenty past 10! Although most of my info was saved, and the last job i applied for half arsely because half way through i noticed it was part time (wish they had put that in the main job advert and not in some random pdf document) but still applied for it anyway.

well done vix!

starting to get really down about my weight now. Realised just how awful i look over the weekend and fee lfat, bloated and ugly. You'd think this would motivate me to do something but I just can't seem to get my act together. I have literally nothing in my wardrobe that fits properly, i look like a sack of laundry pretty much all the time and i'm so fed up with feling like this - but i still don't seem to be able to stop eating, even when i tell myself i'll regret it. I'm getting stressed and resentful at oh because he isn't making any money so i'm keeping us both and it seems like a really good idea to eat bad food when he#s not around as almost an act of defiance. I'm feeling under par, I'm nearly always cold and it doesn't see mto matter how early i go to bed I'm dog tired all the time.

I don't know whqat I expect any of you to do, but I just needed to vent! Maybe seeing it in black and white will press me to take some positive action.

Hezza that's great news about your MIL.

Mazza I hope the guy appreciated all the prep work that went into your date. Pity you're not wanting a relationship he sounds really nice.

Victory Hugs to you and yours - I hope OH isn't working himself into the ground.

BB and Beanie - a professional declutterer. That's breaking me out in cold sweats and don't say it too loud or OH will arrange one :eek:

Well it's been a carp weekend for me. A girl that works with my sister decided to take her wee boy into work when he had the "winter vomiting bug" and spread it around. So my sister got it - but she lives with my elderly mum and dad so both of them caught it. No great cos my dad has angina and my mum has too many things wrong to list. So I got a phone call from my dad on Thursday night when I got in from work to say that my mum had taken a turn for the worse and he couldn't get a hold of my sister (why do people have mobile phones when they don't leave them on :mad:) so my mum ended up getting rushed into hospital - because she couldn't keep her tablets down her heart rate was all over the place. Good news is they gave her an injection to stop her being sick and managed to get her back on her medication and rehydrated and let her out yesterday. We just need to keep an eye on my dad now cos the last two times she's been taken into hospital he's ended up getting rushed in not long after cos of the stress. The sad thing is it was their 62nd wedding anniversary on Saturday and my poor wee dad couldn't even visit her cos he was still feeling poorly. Sorry for the rant but it was either telling you lot or paying a visit to my sisters work and doing who know what to the girl who gave it to them in the first place.

Rant over.

kpc - sorry you are feeling low about the whole weight thing. Can I just check re the tiredness and cold etc - have you checked this out with your gp...just in case you are anemic or have thyriod probs?
I'm useless at making suggestions re weight loss, as you have covered seemingly every approach. Hope fully someone else will be along soon with ideas.

Pepop - not suprised you are hopping mad. Hope they continue to recover ok and can celebrate their wedding An properly another time.
As for the prof de-C: did have to break it gently to my OH, lol, but they won't be touching his stuff just mine.

Off to do a big shop at Mr A's soon: we've beenn putting it off for as long as possible and are now out of many essentials.

Hey everyone,

BB- the group thing is good...we are all in the same boat and so we can be honest with each other and encourage one another. Happy shopping, I need to do my big one this week as well!

Victory- kno its a bit late but I hope your doing better after the hypo...make sure you are keeping charged up with the right kinds of food!!

kpc - I totally understand what you are saying....I kinda feel the same way, I am just keep on eating, even when I am full and eating the wrong stuff, I can't seem to control myself. I see my target date to lose the weight going further and further away, but I just made a decision that I am gonna keep going, the battle for me always starts in the mind, so if I can catch the "thought" to eat something bad at that stage, I can stop myself eating loads of crap. So don't beat yourself up..I know its hard, but firstly get rid of all the temptations...I guess if it is not around you can't have it, when you are feeling to eat something (and you have already had your meal) do something active to keep your mind of it....take a walk, paint your nails...etc. Believe me this is advice to myself as well. I would defo go to the GP as BB said...I too was really really tired and I turned out that I had low iron, so at least now I know I have to eat high iron foods... hope that helps..

PepPop- I love your rants..bugs always spreads because someone should stay at home and they expose themselves, that bug is so contagious as well, hope everyone gets over it quickly.

Right I am going to stay away from the food for the next 2 hours, I ate so much already today, but my habits need to change NOW...as I do not want to look like a beach whale on my hols this summer! A speedy walk home for me tonight...

Cya :j

KPC I know what you mean but I have strict rules I follow to get me motivated, out of the eating and back on the straight and narrow as it were, if I feel down I put on the make up get my best fitting clothes out the cupboard and wear those, it always makes me feels better and reminds me of how far I have come, if that does not work the pamper bath, nails hair make up read a book make yourself feel good about yourself is the next step if that does not work all temptation has to leave the building, no late night snacks, no eating when others are out, no extra cals, watch biggest looser, read a cookery book for inspiration, google some programme with heart rendering stories of how they managed to loose all the weight, write a letter to yourself telling yourself either how far you have come or telling yourself off and then delete, try on the pair of trousers you started out with (in my case size 20 black trousers that would barely do up) walk around in them, makes you feel better and gives my kids a right laugh:D re look at your food diary, write down your moods, in relation to foods, take your measurements again, look at old photos and new ones, if you can afford to buy some proper fitting clothes or like me yesterday no spare money so went to debenhams and tried on loads of clothes, no intetion of buying them but dreaming and looking great in them while you try them on is free:D

pep some people are just so thoughtless:eek:

Sounds like fun :rotfl:


KPC - That's exactly how I feel. I just haven't been able to motivate myself since I put that stone back on. My day off today and all I have done is sleep. I feel my clothes getting tighter by the day. A wardrobe full of the stuff and end up wearing the same jeans n top combination because I hate being this size and those are the only things that look kinda ok.

PepPop - Your poor parents. Don't be too hard on your sister, maybe she was somewhere it had to be turned off. Or is she one of those people who turn it off for the sake of it? Look on the bright side hon, they are on the mend now and they still have each other
Yes he appreciated the effort, I appreciated it more though, I totally love the feeling of someone else doing my hair and make up. Doesn't look any better, but sure feels nice getting it done :rotfl:


Vix - Good luck on the job front, I know it's not easy at this point in time to job hunt. But hang in there girl, something bigger and better is always round the corner


My DS got sent home from school again today, due to him eating toast with butter at his dad's place at weekend (he's lactose intolerant). He could probably have stayed at school, but he's got terrible colouring, always looks pale, so he plays on it. Tells teacher he isn't well, gets sent to office, office phone me and tell me how terrible he looks. I always tell them to keep him there for an hour in the hope that it calms down, but he always manages to get sent home. Then when he's home he's absolutely fine apart from the trips to the toilet.
Sorry rant rant rant. Every monday I have off work seems to be the same. So we curled up in bed to catch up on telly from the weekend that we had missed.

mazza school are so over the top aren't they? They just don't want to be responsible for the kids if anything goes wrong.

Made me laugh last week they tried to send the little one home but no one available so he was kept there and the note sent home said 'we tried to send x home from school today because he has been whipped around the head with a broom':rotfl: turns out his bully friend took a dislike to something he was being told to do and so the nearest person to take it out on was my son,then the note said 'please check if there are any injuries to the head', amazing what the teachers are not allowed to do:D

Re clothes fitting, a charity bag came through the door today for NSPCA so I thought this as good a time as any to sort out the clothes, so I did and it is very therapeutic, out went the jeans that I think fit but will not stay up even with a belt on, out went the ones that I think fit but need a shoe horn to get them on, out went the tops that are just too short, unflattering, big sacks, awful colours but they were cheap, they will do clothes all gone, it has left me with a desperate need to forward time a few months to get back to the car boot sales and buy some more clothes:rotfl:some of the clothes were awful, there was a pair of white trousers I loved but they were so low rise no bending over was allowed whilst wearing:rotfl:they went in the bag with a fight but they have gone now:rotfl:

The kids and OH don't know yet but their cupboards have been done also, my little one had some tops he absolutely loved but they looked so scruffy on him, the eldest had a hoody that had a coffee stain right in the centre but every time it came to wearing a hoody that was the one, we all have our favourites but they have to go, those awful ones went in the bin, the others savable but not for me went in the charity bag.:D

Hi All,

Another weekend over, and so another week begins....

kpc - I am totally where you are, and Mazza too. I have tried to have a word with myself, because I know that when I indulge or overeat it doesn't have an instant impact, but a few days later, the inches start going on. That's how I have put the weight on. I started it whilst wearing smaller clothes, but the more times I indulged wearing them, the sooner I was growing out of them! Here I am, a size bigger again, feeling fat, uncomfortable, achy, unattractive, etc. Bleugh! I know what Victory says is true, but when you are struggling with that frame of mind, it's hard to force. I haven't had my hair done since last June because I can't afford to, so the style is outgrown, and so is the colour, so I already feel a mess, without taking into account weight gain. I don't feel good in anything I wear, but am glad it's winter so I can cover up in sweaters and jeans. My only saving grace is that OH helps make me feel good about myself regardless, and says complimentary things all the time (even if I don't believe him half the time). I need that 'switch' to click in my head, to get me positively aiming forward. It will come, but I can't force it, despite wishing I could.

Vix - keep applying, and you'll get a positive result in the end. Focus on the good outcome to keep you focussed, such as imagining handing in your notice so you can leave to go to your new job.

peppop - I am 'grrrrrr'ing on your behalf!

Life just keeps plodding along here. OH had his appeal last Friday, although we've not had any response from them yet, so because they've taken it to the full 90 day limit, we're having to press forward with an Employment Tribunal. That doesn't look like it's going to be much fun either. Onwards and upwards!
