  • Steaming jeans and shoes on radiators, soggy brollies by the door, feet that won't warm up after getting a soaking - all lovely isn't it. Oh and it is going to be icy tomorrow as if the lashing rain wasn't enough. I seem to not be a ray of sunshine today - sorry.

    I need some wellies (no more wet feet for me), where did you get your pretty ones from jacs?

    Forgive me for I have sinned.... and fallen competely off the wagon, slowly dragging myself back on though and I have been really good all day. I promise that I will try to be good and not eat anything bad for me this week.

    It's awful Lucy - I'm blaming it for my complete lack of willpower at the moment.

    I did really well on SW, had a break over Christmas but really cant get back into it :confused:

    I've gone for the drastic weightloss technique of continuous barfing - not anorexic just got a stomach bug and even water is difficult to face today. Just had to cook DS some dinner so the poor love is having cheese on toast as I couldn't face much more. There's loads of fruit so he won't starve...

    I chicken out of weigh in this week, I just seem to be really struggling this time round. Although I have mum on side now, so we have promised each other that we will not have these things in the house.

    I'm relieved it's not just me struggling at the moment.

    My DH is doing SW with me, but he cant stick to it either. I can only think it's something to do with the time of year/weather :confused:

    I'll keep trying, but the blue ribands are screaming my name right now :p
