Chart hopefully present and correct thank you everyone for updating - well done to Catz for pasting your half stone
Hopefully the medication is working Jenny and well done on that big loss - I haven't updated as requested
suzeesu please be kind to yourself you are doing a hard job looking after to you mum 102 is a good age but hard work for you, mine lived until 92 and was as sharp as a tack up to 5 or 6 months before she died but her body was falling about and she was difficult, tbh i appreciated the 100 miles between us and did feel for my sister who lived with her. Food can be such a comfort unfortunately when things are tough, i envy those people who can't eat when stressed! You are not weak willed you are just dealing with a lot
Miss_Behaving i suggest you get excited about 3lb
Bazza if you find a padlock that works please send me a link, we are 6 weeks in and I'm standing at 0
Catz you are doing really well against the odds why is it we weren't warned about all the joys of the menopause, i have 5 older sisters so not sure how that information wasn't share! I think hot flushes were the only thing mentioned at school and home, I can remember my mum and aunts mouthing 'The Change' when discussing it (think Les Dawsons Cissie and Ada sketches)
I know what you mean about working from home Pixie too many things to tempt you and no one to see you eat it. It certainly looks like you are hitting the exercising so that should hopefully reflect next time you make the scales
IzzyBee - let me help you back on the diet wagon maybe once you have retired it can be your focus. I informed my manager this morning that i was retiring at the end of May and turned down the offer of part time work, TBH I don't love my job enough to carry on once i get my company pension from a previous job at 60 i've done a lot of thinking and going over figures and i can make it work.
I hope everyone has a good week I hoping that now we can smell spring the urge to stuff my face will lessen!Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin6 -
