LOL @ puddings and his broken bed. Thankfully it was just my headboard that broke :rotfl:
Vix - I still have the breasts, vagina, and legs of a 25 yr old.Well in my dreams I do. The face and grey hair lets me down tho. Comes to us all
Victory - Hope you have a speedy recovery hon.
Been pretty good for 2 days. Rather proud of myself. Not particularly dieting, but cutting out all the junk and eating more veg with dinner. Yuck, but I'm trying

I have also made myself a new years resolution that I am not going to buy clothes unless I really need them. I had about 100 T shirts :eek:
I can't wear 100 at a time so why ?? Think I was a serial clothes buyer and now I have shrunk I can see that and concentrate on quality rather than quantity
It is amazing how much space I now have in the wardrobe and I am not going to refill it.
Well done! I agree a lot of us fill our wardrobes with a focus on quantity not quality clothes. I am def guilty of that. Instead of losing weight I just buy more pretty dresses that i feel i can 'get away with' - my aim is to lose a fair bit by June and allow myself some new summer clothes - but a 'capsule' wardrobe this time rather than piles of rubbish like all the other years!Bought the bella OH saw the voucher and he insists I go this monday without son, he wants me to get the books and come back and do it, he says that is the cheapest was for £4.95 to get the books and start next week with SW, we shall see how the tonsils are by then, I am such a scardy cat, keep making up reasons why I can't go but it is down to fear of the unknown:D
I have mananged for 3 years perfectly well with my WW version of things and never attended a group.
hope you're feeling better. I am resending the docs now. How are you feeling about going to a group? I bought Bella last night and I'm going to my local group on Monday - If you don't go before then I can tell you what it's like - try and take away some of that fear of the unknown. Remember though, only go if YOU want to, and if you get there and hate it you can always walk out and never go back! (I did that with a gym class once!!!)Food wise i've not done as well today on the eating less front, but i havent had any chocolate so thats a bit of a victory!
:Twell done! a no choc day is difficult, especially this close after xmas when there's loads hanging about and you've got used to eating it guilt-free with the festivities!Betty B: The Eternal Procrastinator....

I am having to eat loads of veg with SW but I have worked out that if I put it into the sauce or whatever and 'hide' it OH doesn't complain! (and it tastes nicer mixed in with the food than just sitting there lukewarm on the plate on its own!)Betty B: The Eternal Procrastinator....

Wehee I'm very excited as it's my 'Birthday Eve'! I'm going to let myself off the plan for 1 day tomorrow - looking forward to being woken up with Birthday cupcakes and pressies, then making maple syrup pancakes for brekkie! Followed by tea and cake with the girls (cals burnt off by shopping, obviously!) and then pub for dinner and drinks!! :beer:Betty B: The Eternal Procrastinator....

Hi and thanks all for the well wishes, the tonsils and ears are like razor blades and shooting stabbings:rotfl::rotfl: not to worry the penecillin will kick in and it will get better, not going to work tomorrow so that is something else they can complain about:D
Because of the immune system being low when I started 9 weeks ago the arthritic weekly injections, they have decided to take me off them:eek: 3 sets of tablets did not work, taken off them, this injection has caused rashes and flu, tonsils etc so back to square one, I was bereft, every time we think this is the pain relief for the arthritis and wait for it to kick in all complications arise with it and the docs take me off it:eek:
Thanks betty for re-sending can you send me the syns also please?;)
Thanks sary it is a character fault of mine, I hate change, when they give me a new insulin pen I cry until I get used to it, when they change my arthritic meds I cry I am a woosh hate it always have, like to know what is happening, when , why and can deal with it, take me out of my comfort zone and I go to mush.
Yes, OH is insistent I go but for good reasons I think, he knows me and knows I need to be pushed otherwise I vegetate and can make up so many reasons not to go that I always manage to talk myself out of everything, it is a wonder I do anything:rotfl::rotfl:
romy I have for many years had NSD, lots of times I stay in or if it is the summer spring spend it in the garden or go for a walk and spend nothing, the DD etc yes that comes out automatically but I always have in my head right for the next so and so days no money to be spent, if I get to this day of this month then I will have this left to spend to the end etc, it has always been a thing of mine, I am in charge of all spending in this household always have been and if we get to the end without being OD that is a great month:D
vixa i am sure his intentions are good ones;)
allis hope your cough gets better:D
betty :bdaycake: for tomorrow if I don't get back on:D
I have had this week off work but I know it is the end of the road for that job, obviously OH wants me to not hand in notice until I have another job but it may come to that because I know I will have a long lecture when I go back in next week about being ill, not that you can help that but they love telling me off.0 -
victory - i dont have a doc of the syn values (too many!!) I just look things up as I need to on minimins/google/the SW thread and write them in a notebook. Sorry. This is a good source: http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/
thanks for the bday cake!

I don't think the local greasy spoon understand no fat and they struggle to remember the difference between brown and white so I'm better off giving it a miss!
Lol, thanks puddings
I'm only on day 4 and this is already tough!0
