  • You keep them rising, you never know when you might feel the urge to start again. I hope it wasn't ww that made you poorly?????

    Ta ... I will prob have another bash at some point - but it may be a while as a) not really much point while I'm still on the weight gaining drugs! and b) still on this really restricted diet .... both are likely to go on for around a year :eek:

    I did wonder if it was the diet that had made me poorly ... and I was mortified that I might've done it to myself :obut as best they can tell it was probably down to some Anti-Biotics I'd had to take

    I have what can be termed a "crohn's related disease" that unfortuantely needs the odd burst of ABs to clear it up ... unfortunately I needed 3 lots this time :eek: and that's what prob did it :( (so fingers crossed the other thing doesn't come back for a long time as I'll not be having any more ABs!)

    Still - there are things in the WW diet that you eat a lot of (or I certainly did!) such as Tomatoes to name one, that it will be a long time before I can eat ... and that's the kind of thing that I used to add to pasta sauces to bulk them into more portions and reduce the points value!:cool:

    Really need to try to find some new things to try as getting a bit fed up with my 1/2 dozen or so meals I can eat :o - tried a different veg the other night and ... oh boy! :p errrr lets just say I won't be having it again for a while!:rotfl:

    Yup .... and I was just wondering that too!:o

    I am absolutely shattered :o- will try to stay up until 9ish as that's really the earliest I can get away with letting the dog out (and her not wanting up at silly o'clock!)

    Hope you feel better soon

    Good Morning :)

    Just flying in and out again. I will try to catch up later.
    I was running a bit late this morning and only had time to do the NSD challenge update. Then I felt really guilty for neglecting my diary and not saying Good Morning to everyone so I have sneaked on at work before everyone comes in :o


    So Good Morning everyone, have a fabulous day :D

  • Morning Freeby,

    Have a good day at work, speak later.xx
  • I've managed to catch up on the few days I'd missed.I hope that you've had a good day freeby.

    Don't beat yourself up about the weight.:) I usually weigh myself on a Tuesday,but haven't for a few weeks. I've decided to do it this Friday,not that a few days will make any difference...I had lost a few kilos before Christmas,but I think I'm going to be back at square one.:mad:

    Do you have a date in mind of when you might clear your OD or is that tempting fate?!

    Good Morning :)

    Well, I didn't manage to get back on here yesterday :(

    I came home from work and as DD1 had been at home all day I tidied up her mess :mad: Her idea of being tidy is completely different to mine, all her dirty dishes just seem to be invisible to her :mad: I made the tea, dished up the tea, washed, dried and put away the dishes, soted out some washing, sat on the couch, fell asleep, woke up, let the dogs out and went to bed.
    I did nothing :o:o I am so mad at myself for spending the whole evening asleep :o:o

    Anyway, quick check of the bank tells me that some money has gone in and nothing has come out :T The OD now stands at £258dr :T. Marmite, I am hoping that when I get paid on Tuesday (5 days to go :)) and the account goes into credit that I can keep it that way :) It is going to be a real challenge but I have my determined knickers on and will shuffle and scrimp and sell stuff so that I can do it. Even if I don't manage it, this will be the first time that my account will have been in the black for a very very long time. I usually get paid and I'm still overdrawn :o

    I am still waiting on someone paying me for something that sold on ebay at the beginning of the week :mad: Don't they know I need that money :mad: And another thing will sell for more than the original selling price so that's a little bit more into the paypal account :) I will wait until it is a bigger amount before I transfer it into my bank as I want to use it to pay ebay fees.

    I am sending off my old mobile today so hopefully I'll get some money back from that next week and I have re-arranger the clothes for cash people to collect tomorrow so I should have something coming from them too next week.

    It is all looking good at the moment :) Lets hope is stays that way :)


    Have a great day everyone. I will not even dare to sit down tonight so I may well be back later :D

    Have a great day Freeby
