Here we can all be heard for a little while

WaS, "WaSp normally doesn't help me because he has a damaged back with pins in it and the stretching of my limbs used to really hurt him. "

Surely your/his doctor can use this fact to prove that although you need the therapy, he is not able to provide it, so therefore someone else needs to? Even if it is accessing a charity rather than providing a carer, they cannot leave you in the lurch like that.

Sadly, in these times it seems that there is no funding for any thing which means a lot of people are going to end up more isolated. WaS is lucky as she has her teacher friend and her American friend and Team WaS to talk to but what if she didn't? I think I'd go mad if DH was the only human I got to communicate with. Poor show on the government's part I think.

We shall indeed bully you into doing stuff like getting dressed (says she who is only just showered).

In my world of frippery and inconsequential nonsense (because I am in too much pain to deal with anything heavy), I am trying to decide whether to go to the shop for bad stuff or be very good and hope I can reach target this week (scales haven't gone down much in the past few weeks - I am currently 1/2 pound away from my dress and knowing my luck it will be sold out by the time I get there). Part of me is thinking that as I've plateaued somewhat, I may be as well having a blowout and the other part is telling me to stay steady. Then there's the lazy part. But I want Pringles! !

Haven't seen that film whitewing but I've heard good things about it.

Code - stay strong! Surely the threat of the dress selling out should spur you into reaching goal weight! How about having a good walk out and treating yourself to a Twister ice lolly, or similar low calorie treat on the way back?

I want to see Inside Out but haven't had the chance yet.

I can't have any temperature changes near my face right now. I am not even eating spicy food (my favourite thing ever), so walking out for bad stuff isn't a good idea either. But I do need to get my prescription at some point this week.

If I'm honest, it's not about the dress or the number on the scales for once. l am worried that these new drugs aren't working anymore and as they're the only ones that haven't made me gain masses of weight or have suicidal thoughts and I have some ability to think rather than just be a zombie, I'm afraid that they'll put me on something else and I'll be back to square one with the fat and the muddled thinking and the stress on poor DH at his wife being replaced by a lump of blancmange. And the idea of that makes me want to binge. I've only just got out of the brain fog, I don't want to go back in.

codemonkey,

don't you dare eat unhealthily today. Get some healthy food to binge on!

What is this heresy?

ETA: On the subject of Inside Out, I saw something on Facebook about a dad who had bought the sadNess character for his daughter and was upset because it said sad things. Sigh.

ETA again: Please forgive the random popping up in unrelated words, words that are not words, random capital letters in the middle of words and all other madness popping up in my posts at the moment. Autocarrot seems to be on a mission to annoy me.

Be strong code! Pringles are really yummy, but I'm sure you'd regret it afterwards.

I love crisps, D calls me the crisp monster! :rotfl: But I've been making a real effort lately to cut down on them. If they're not in then I can't have them and then most times I can't be bothered going out for any when the urge strikes. My replacement snack is (funnily enough) a carrot! I had two last night!

I watched this food programme and apparently if you eat a lot of veg like carrots, squash, etc it gives you a lovely healthy glow....I could be imagining things, but I think it might be working! I'll just have to be careful not to eat too many or I'll turn orange or yellow! :rotfl:

Oh, and you could try replacing crisps with nuts. They might be full of fat, but it's good fat, and studies have shown that they don't put any weight on you because of the way they are digested.

CODE!

Don't you dare binge!!

I've had a couple of relapses over the last couple of weeks, and I was good yesterday, and so far today I'm being good and only craving vegetables!

However, I feel bad today, and I'm dreading getting that feeling of " well I don't care, I'm going to go out and get beer and cake" which will be guaranteed to make me feel worse after I've eaten it.

I, too have an important goal to achieve, so had to buy some scales for the first time in 25years, so I know how demoralising it is to be a slave to numbers. (Once I've achieved the important goal, I shall stick them in a cupboard!)
I've been down a couple of pounds, up a pound, down a pound , up three pounds :eek:, down two pounds, etc. etc. it's soul-destroying!



So, bargain time! You stay off the binge today, and I'll stay off the binge too! Deal?

Afternoon my lovelies,

I hope everyone is as well as they can be. me feel like crap. Another bad nights sleep. Lots of it but not quality sleep.

Feel like I have an hangover. Gave someone another chance and they blew it. And the funny thing is I can see myself in what they did. it was what I did with my ex. So I can understand how he felt. And one thing I will never do again.

I have so many things to choose from todo today not sure what I will do. I think that is the problem. I have so many different projects on the go. I seem to get nothing do. I love being busy but then I look at it and go nah LOL!!!!

I know I have said this before. But I will try and do a bit of something everyday. And evenings are now for reading and cross stitch.

Right need to go and do some washing up. And then well the world is my oyster LOL!!!

Yours

Calley
