I'm thinking of you both RFD and Scrappie and I'm sending you and all your families my love. xxx

my MIL has just tried suicide again this afternoon for the second time in two weeks. I'm stuck 50 miles away from DH, i cant get over to him til fri night at the earliest because i have to go to work 50 miles in the opposite direction because we are desperate for cash and i have no idea what i can do. the whole family have no idea what we can do anymore, we all thought we'd babysat and controlled her cash so she had no opportunity or money to buy booze or pills and today she managed to down a bottle of vodka from a morrisons when she lives nowhere near one and pills we have no idea how she got.

So sorry to hear your bad news evilsquid. Sending you a big hug:A

Same for you scrappie. It's a lovely idea taking your mum away this weekend and at least if you'll be eating cr*p, it won't be just ordinary cr*p, it'll be M&S cr*p!

Something scrappie said earlier hit home, if we are to be strong (for ourselves and/or our families and friends) then we need to be fit and well and what better way than sticking to our healthy eating plan!

Oh Evilsquid so sorry to read about this stress that you are having. It's very difficult when parents and inlaws are so far away.

My MIL has alzheimers and the only person around is my FIL - we live over here and my SIL lives in France. It's such a worry and she's getting worse. There's only so much money for my DH to travel backwards and forwards to help out and my FIL can't leave her on her own.

sending you hugs and thinking of you through this difficult time

Hi everyone

Well it seems that my post about handling stress will now come into play. My brother committed suicide last night.:(:(:(:( I am completely numb, have managed to snatch an hours sleep. I know it is bizarre that i am even posting this but my brain is in overdrive and i dont know what to do with myself. I am just pacing around and drinking endless tea.I need to focus (and write down feelings) Be strong for my parents .. . I am going back home this afternoon ( parents/family live on the Isle of man). I am sorry if this is rambly nothing is making sense.

i probably wont be on for a while -

sorry for your loss make sure you don't bottle it up either let it out on here or find someone you can talk to i went to CRUSE bereavement when my mum passed away and it think it was so much easier to talk to people who didn't know her or me and just let it all out

RFD -my thoughts are with you. Such sad and distressing news for you and your family.

You say you need to 'be strong for your family', but please, please take care of yourself too. Part of 'been strong' is making sure you are fit and well and able to be there.

I too am on my own, I'm an only child and have also had some very distressing news today (mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer). I find the best way to keep track of my own thoughts is to write my feelings down. Seems like nothing while your doing it - but boy does it help me.

You just sometimes need that outlett for your emotions where nobody will judge you and you dont have the worry of upsetting/ stressing anyone - a bit like coming on here.

Have a safe filght.

thinking of you and your mum x

it's similar to people on a diet going to find junk food- you find a way to get it has she talked about the reasons why shes trying this have you thought about getting a medical intervention?

Just catching up on the thread having been awol for a little while.

I'm so sorry to hear your news RFD and my thoughts are also with Scrappie and Evilsquid for the difficult times you are facing.

I had a reasonable week last week but then got busy and couldn't make it to club for WI so missed a week. I then decided that having used up all the weeks I had pre-paid for I didn't really want to pay out again so decided to go it alone and not bother with club anymore.

I have lost count of the number of times I have cheated this week and thought I would have something naughty and get back on the diet wagon tomorrow...

I realise that going to the weekly WI really helps me to keep to the straight and narrow so have decided to go back. I decided to go back next Thursday, giving myself a week to undo the damage I have done but even last night I found myself eating ice cream and saying it was OK as I had a week before I needed to weigh so plenty of time. So stupid...

So, I have decided I need to weigh this morning and face the music, whatever it may be. It is the only way I can draw a line under this 2 weeks and get back on track. I was already disappointed by my slow weight loss and I have just gone and made it worse. Anyway, there is a part of me that is relieved that I have made the decision to go back to club and I will pay for 10 weeks and get 12 and a free cookery book - or whatever the current offer is - to make sure I keep going. I'm far too tight to not go if I have already paid :money:

I feel that exercise will be key for me in speeding up the weight loss so have bought the dreaded 'Shred'. I did it for the first time yesterday and boy what a killer! :eek: By the time I finished my face was a shade of deep red never before seen in nature and I went straight off for a shower afterwards - quickly followed by a little lie down as my legs still felt shaky! It was at least an hour after I had finished that I felt anything like normal again.

So sorry to hear the sad news from a few members, RFD, Scrappie and Evilsquid. I never do hugs online but serious big hugs to you all!

It puts all our lives into perspective and gives us food for thought. Our complaints are insignificant when compared to those who are truly suffering.

On to SW....I feel quite insensitive talking about it now.

WI tonight, not sure what to expect, the scales always take me by surprise and usually not for the better! We shall see though, it would be good to have lost at least 1lb, I would be happy with that.
