Haha. It has to be chocolate 'cos life's not fair!

Got to go to the shops at lunch time to pick up something for OH so may buy a little bit of chocolate. Will see how I am feeling then. Will try to be good. My mum was really good on her SW last week and lost 6 and a half lbs!

i know!! so sad hey? ah Jo, glad you had something to eat at least,. keep those belivita biscuits on your drawer so in times of emergencies like these, you have them. i have some in mine and if i am in such a rush then they help :0)

poor hubbys so down today. he was in high hopes for this job interview he went for and he got told no today so he is very down. i want to try and cheer him up but dont know what to do? thought of sending him a rose, but even sending that is so expensive :-( grrr

how come mums do it so easily? my mother in law is slimmer than me!

Wow... thats really good for your mum Emm. I'm afraid I don't have that much willpower - I am always naughty. Hence the 2.5lbs loss is definately a one off

In my case, its not choc or sweet food is a glass of wine now and then. Infact I was very bad last night... went out for dinner with OH and had fish and lentils (all free on SW and very yummy) but had about 3 glasses of wine over the evening - not good.

hmm wine!!! yum yum...:0)

The previous times I have drunken red wine I have felt properly hung over the next day. I love red wine, but scared to drink it now. I only had 2 small glasses the last time.

Lol my mum finds it hard but is using the wedding for her motivation. She had put on 3 lb the week before as she had had two indulgent weekends away so she had hoped to loose that but actually lost 6 and half so was very happy. She prefers to follow a strict diet but then when she stops she puts a load back on. She is trying really hard now though as she is 50 next year and I think she is seeing it as a fresh start kind of thing.

I'm not too bad if naughty stuff isn't in the flat but once it is there I can't just have one of something I always eat loads. I just have no will power and its really irritating 'cos in other aspects of my life I am really determined.

I know what it's like Rups. My OH had to wait 2 years from graduating to get a job (he had a couple of xmas temp jobs during that time but is was really difficult) and each time he got close it was gutting when he didn't get it and so hard to cheer him up. On top of that I was working 7 days a week doing 2 jobs to pay the bills so was often tired and grumpy. You just have to try and stay positive and know that the right job is out there and it will come to your hubby but sadly it is a case of waiting sometimes. Perhaps make him something to let him know you are there for him? His favourite dinner perhaps?

Downstairs in my company, apparently there are cakes and sweets quite often but upstairs where I am there are never anything so I am quite lucky.

Since I started properly trying to lose weight on the 29th October, I have lost 3.74lbs which is on average about 2.38lbs a week. Most of that was the first day though.
