    Urg, when I lost my Dad, I ate and ate and ate - I kept going to WW, but I was putting on weight at a rate of 4 or 5 lbs a week because I just could not get myself properly into "healthy eating" mode. I knew what I had to do, of course I did, and had been at goal not long before.....but I could manage to stick to it for a day or so each week before my carrier bags of chocolate and biscuits would make an appearance again.

    You are going through so much at the moment, being slim would be lovely, but in the bigger picture of emotional stuff, it is of secondary importance. Your head will "click" at the right time, and the weight will then drop off xx

    Banking and scratching done - payday tomorrow so the bank accounts are looking pretty sorry for themselves, but hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter picture!

    10p and 25p in the scratches today.....nothing more to report!

    Have a good day, whatever you do!

    Good morning,

    Scratchies done, highlight was a 25p.

    Hope the neck & hand are improving Hypno.

    Clearing the cupboards ready for leaving end of next week. Trying to stick to the diet, but difficult to do when eating things up. Don't think I'm going to be happy on the scales when I get back :( So got to try to lift things up a notch.

    Hope everyone has a good day :)

    It sounds like there's a few of us stuck in the 'dieting doldrums' at the moment :(

    Let's hope we can get it sorted, and start losing weight again soon.

    The sun is shining here, I definitely want to look skinnier and less blubbery in summer clothes, so I will stick to the diet today :)

    When I'm skinnier I feel fitter and healthier too, so there's lots of reasons to stick to it :)
