Your meal sounded good.I need to find the points for basic meats as well.

I get most info from the WW website - it seems to cover almost everything!

Ive been decluttering but also unfortunatly eating for Scotland.

I've managed to keep within points now for a while, so am hoping that the good habits are becoming normal. Some days are harder than others, of course, but generally I am doing alright!

I've just had 4 chocolate digestives :o:o

After that 10k, macgirl, I think you can justify them!

In_my_dreams

Today I've had a whole (big) bag of M&M Peanuts, a packet of ginger biscuits, roast dinner and two lots of trifle :o:o:o:o:o:o Yes really! I did run though.......

OH has his allotment sorted and I have to say even though I don't help it is lovely sending the kids out in the summer to pick veg for lunch

hypno06

Again, you can justify it IMD - the pros of going for a run!

I've just had a slice of toast and butter for supper - did have enough points for it, though, so all ok there.....

I did *think* about going for a run.....does that count :rotfl:

Well done to the runners..that's a good reason to eat.

Of it does, Hypno that is normal, you have been terrribly hurt and your whole world has changed. This next bit sounds mad but bear with me, I think of the people in your life are like tent pegs (you being the tent iyswim I am not in way shape or form saying you look like a tent!) and when they go or change you are literally left blowing in the wind at the mercy of what ever happens next. Lots of mildly crappy and sometimes completely awful devastating things have happened to me over the last 8 years. I know that nearly all my "tent pegs" have changed and its been really hard to work out what the hell I am doing and why.

In between the big tents pegs and to replace them if they go, we put other little tent pegs(like looking forward to stuff), we hope that they will hold us when actually we aren't sure at all. I loathe this phase but it all takes time and is so frustrating and painful. There is a scene in Buffy where Willow just wants to know why she has to go through the pain, why can't she just by pass it - what else is she supposed to cope with now?

And that is the thing, I know I can cope, I know you can cope, the bit I have difficulty with is why do I have to keep coping when do I get a break? and likewise for you.

It is overwhelming but that feeling is temporary I promise. You know it comes in waves.

I am not sure this helps. But do give your self credit for being so brilliant you aren't trying to be strong and in control you ARE strong and in control.

Pops up from lurkdom to say WELL SAID

A friend sent me this recently when I felt exactly like you do. Hope it helps (I cried my eyes out:rotfl:)

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that
Person..

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need
You have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with
Guidance and support,

To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,

This person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an
End.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.

Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire
Fulfilled, their work is done.

The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has
Come to share, grow or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.

They may teach you something you have never done.

They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.


LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,

Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
Foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson,

Love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other
Relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life,

Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.
