Weather has taken a turn for the worse. Most disappointing! I was just getting used to Summer!
DH is better now SA, thanks. He was voted Man of the Year in our virtual SW class today. Lots of lovely comments from the other members. Yesterday was the anniversary of his accident, so it was good to have some positive affirmations of the guy he is now.
Bra arrived and it fits!!! I lost another 3lbs today, making 4 st 6lbs or 62lbs.

I wanted to acknowledge that it’s ok about your feelings about weight loss, when for you your view is a long journey ahead.... may I suggest you let others hold you and cheer you along, and you just focus on those small steps of loosing pound by pound and one day you will reach a
the top of that very hard hill and feeling like jumping for joy.... until then as a very good friend of ours says on these pages “keep plodding” as that’s what gets you to your next page of the book.

Beanie, you are NOT the size of the side of a bus!! You are lovely. Consider yourself told off!!
BM, thank you for your kind words. I lost another pound last week, so I’m on exactly 4.5 stones off. Hoping for another loss tomorrow.Sorry for the radio silence again, I’ve been really poorly with tonsillitis. Antibiotics have kicked in now though and I’m feeling much more human.
It was DH’s birthday on Saturday, and our anniversary on Sunday. Thankfully I made it through those before I got too bad.The magazine is out today, anyone seen it? What do you think? XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Forgot to say, my sister sent us a fruit and veg box for our anniversary
. We also got cash from my Mum, MiL and Grandma
.
Thrilled that the free school meal vouchers are to be continued over the summer holidays. They are really helping. I’ve been involved in some really horrible “discussions” on FB about them though. Apparently everyone on benefits “breed like rats, don’t look after their children and spend all their money on manicures and alcohol”. I mean, really!!!!!!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31.

Yes, I have seen some of the vile comments on FB too from people I expected more of to be honest.
Quite shocked and saddened by some peoples attitudes to be honest.
They could try doing a couple of shifts in a food bank.
4 stone is just awesomexx

Honestly Beanie, I just don’t know where folk get their ideas, and more so feel comfortable in sharing those ideas publicly!! I understand there are a lot of people suffering financially at the moment, and yes it would be great if more people can get the vouchers too, but lets campaign to get them more widely available, not to have them removed from those on benefits because “they don’t deserve them”!! If I hear one more person say that all people on benefits are spending the vouchers on alcohol and cigarettes I’ll scream
