Pyxis, I think we should get you a cheerleader outfit off HBS! You always very motivational and have a good way with words.

Gosh, thank you, Georgie! How kind! :A
Not sure about the short ra-ra skirt, though! Can cheerleaders wear trousers? :rotfl:

(It's an awful shame I can't motivate myself, though! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:)

Having said that, I did go to my afternoon class, I have done some practice for tonight, and will be going tonight, despite there going to be a couple of scary moments to overcome. But if it goes pear-shaped, it's not the end of the world, and might cause a few laughs anyway! So what the hell.

Thank you for sharing that Code ((((hugs)))

I've decide after the festival, i'm going to give this trying to lose weight another shot. Food wise i'm not eating too badly, everytime i got Swain's i get a proper home cooked meal so i'm eating less crap at work now, and less at home too which is good. The main thing for me is doing some kind of exercise. I'm going to try and set a small goal of going swimming at least once a week. Hopefully do that for a few weeks and then try and up it to twice a week. I need to accept i'm not going to see immediate changes and that even f i onyl lost a pound a week that is still progress.

I asked Swain if he thought i'd put on weight and he said i definitely haven't, if anything ive lost some since we first met (must be all the .....other "exercise" i'm getting :eek: :rotfl: ), and i've noticed my shorts are a bit looser and t shirts a big baggier.

I'll be doing a LOT of walking for the 5 days i'm away so hopefully that will balance out the crap i will be eating

Evening my lovelies,

OMG you lot can talk for england.

Hugs and duvet forts for all who need them.

Code I did read all of it and can see what horrible time you have had. No wonder you have issues with food. But is sounds as if you are coming to terms with it all.

I am massive well to me I am. Penguin I was 15st 7lbs in Jan 2012 got as low as 12st 7lbs but now back up to 13st 5lbs now. I am only 5ft 4 tall so as you can imagine big boobs, bum and belly. Bum and boobs can stay but would love to get rid of the belly.

I can be secretive about food. And still binge eat. Not sure where it comes from. I eat when not hungry and could eat for england and still not feel full!!!!

Didn't get to the cinema as husband was struggling for breathe. So went home but did get my steak. And full marks to the kitchen at my local spoons. I asked for my husbands gammon to be cut in to chunks as he is now one handed after his stroke. As he hates it when I cut up his food when out and people stare. They did a splendid job. And the young lady who served me at the bar was a lovely and chatty. And apologised for keeping me waiting LOL!!! it was lunch time what did she think I expected.

Sorted out my husbands medication today while doing a general tidy up. Hes got loads that is out of date. He has enough to keep him going for about 6 weeks. But not sure why as he has a monthly repeat!!! I don't think he has been taking it everyday, he kinda admitted he wasn't. Which concerns me greatly. But he is a big boy now. I know he hates taking the medication but one of it keeps him from having a horrible painful relapse and would not end well.

I don't want to nag him or phone him everyday. I am not his mother. So told him to set an alarm everyday to remind him to take it.

Not sure why but been feeling queasy today. Started on the bus back from town. made the fatal mistake of reading on the bus. That and reading in car while in motion makes me feel queasy.

I written an essay :rotfl:

Yours

code, that is one of the best descriptions of eating problems I have ever read, thank you xxxx Reminds me I must set up some ED training for my staff - once I've finished the current Big Bit Of Work I am currently immersed in - cos then I'll have some more staff who can also attend the training!

I've been pretty organised today! I've been out and bought food and drink for my festival, and packed everything except clothes now! Am working thurs-thurs so wanted to get it all out f the way so i'm not frantically trying to pack after work on tuesday night.

plan tomorrow is nip into work and ask my manager if she has the info i need for tax credits.

Then slog it out for 6 days before freedom and holiday time!

Just been hit with a massive gas/electricity bill due to ages of estimated bills. Bit upset now and panicking a bit about money. My salary has decreased in real terms over the last 4 years so I'm essentially earning less and paying more for everything and unless this stupid condition goes into remission, I can't go for a promotion or change jobs.

If you call them do you think they might lower your payments or let you pay a bit less or in installments right now?

i can relate to money worries...the issue with my tax credits is causing some major anxiety right now. i' hoping if i nip into work tomorrow my manager might be able to help but if she can;t i am royally screwed. i rely on my tax credits as i can;t work full time because of the bipolar and will seriously struggle if they stop payments.

Code,

Do talk to your supplier. They are there to help you. And will work out a plan to help.

In theory we are going in to the lower consumption months. So that might help a little.

Yours

Worth a shot. In theory, I can just about swing it but it means no money for the savings. Probably just as well the weight loss is going slowly as I can't afford new clothes any more. I wear tall girl jeans which you can never get in charity shops. Plus the dog gets his haircut and boosters this month so more expense. Sigh. I thought things were going too well.
