Well done Raphael and Hannah!
Victory --- stop worrying about the sweetie papers. Just have a sneaky look in his cupboards now and again and if it becomes a regular thing then ask him what's going on. Maybe he is a little entrepeneur as Ajax suggested. There's lots worse things than sweetie papers that you can find in children's bedrooms.0 -
And here are the results from Missy: 2.25lb loss this week. Hmm. Don't quite know how that happened, it's the same as my loss the week before which was explainable because of undereating, but I ate quite normally last week.
Well there we have it, I am 7 stone 13lbs, cracked the stone barrier and the 3 stone overall loss barrier in one go which is what I wanted to do just to say I've done it. For just once in my adult life, the first number is a 7! (Didn't expect it this week though.)Can't help but think that's amusing.
So now that I've had my little bit of fun, it's back to being sensible and maintaining within 8-8.5 stone! Big helping of pasta bolognese for lunch, and a packet of Haribos later when I pick my son up I think!
Grannynise: I think on the chart my 2.25lb last week was entered as 2.3lb (prob cos you can only do one decimal place), so if you put 2.2lb this week it should even up. Total loss as of today should add up to 43lbs exactly. Sorry to be a pain.
Good luck to everyone still to weigh in!0 -

I'm only sharing this cos none of you know him, but my son draws pictures of blonde girls in bright pink bikinis and he hides those :rotfl: He has done this since he was 7!0 -
Victory, I really hope you are feeling better now. I know how you feel because I too lose control and totally pig out and the guilt feelings afterwards are just horrific. I think Delly's advice about planning treats is very good - I know you don't want to let go and don't feel ready for the Bails effect ( and nor am I!) but it sounds like you need to plan some fun into your diet. At the age your son is at I wouldn't worry about the sweetie papers just yet, but it can't be healthy for them to to be thinking that all sweets and stuff are wrong. I won't go into it but I ended up secret bingeing from about the age of 11 and an example of healthy balance with occasional treats would have really helped me to break that cycle.
Well done Raph and Hanna!!!!!! great result for you both, and I reckon blueberries look purple like grapes, but maybe they are blue and thats why they are in fact called 'blueberries'? confused!
Delly, it sounds like you have made a good decision for all of you - you are trying to manage things a different way but have kept the option of letting the dog go. We all know how much you love your dog and I hope that the training works out for you and you can keep her. It's nice to grow up with a dog too - so it's good for hte little un. It's a shame your OH doesn't help you by walking her, but then again it's a shame my OH never remembers to clean the sink after he's washed up. If he doesn't want to do it he won't. I'm sure he has a similar list of things about me!
off out to a friends house for dinner tonight so have no idea what I'll be eating - although i was bad KPC yesterday and made a chocolate cheesecake to take with us. It was at OH's request though, He picked it out of Nigella's Feast. Still, I've a sw neutral free food day so far - eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, cottage cheese, pineapple and grapes so hopefully i can take whatever they throw at me. Only 1 more meal out after today and then I can start getting myself sorted. It's a real pain at the mo, I end up saving syns for a couple of days before going out and I'm sure thats not really what you are supposed to do.0 -
Don't really post on this board much but do read it avidly- my first week is going ok - have tried to fit in an exercise session every day - will be soooooooooo glad when it stops raining and perks up outside so I can fit in more walking.
My first weigh in will be on Wed am so I'll see how this week has really gone but I know I've been scarfing a lot fewer naughties than usual.I'd rather be watching CSI!0 -
I feel at the moment all I do is come on here, apologise for not being around, make a general well done and b***** off for another few days
I was going to say things have been hectic but thats not really true, Ive just been having a bit of a hard time this past couple of weeks, have been really down, spent a lot of time bubbling and in bed, doing a lot of thinking (too much maybe) and trying to get things sorted out in my head. I think, Im sort of, almost there, being online more is a start. Ive sorely neglected a lot of my online stuff, have only managed to keep on top of one site I use (as youll have noticed delly
)
So AGAIN a very well done to all the losers and maintainers
Had my wi this morning and Ive lost 3lbs which Im delighted with as it takes me to 130lbs off, another mini target achieved.0 -
Bluecorn, ouch sorry about your injury that must have been nasty. How long ago was that? Oh, and Thomas is one of my favourite boys names
Ah its ok, My injury was 3 years ago now, Tbh I was getting a pace behind anyway through age (I blame) so with that, the injury and time out of the game I called it a day at 28. Its better now though as I find Im a better player watching as whatever the stars of the game do I always feel "I could do that" lol
Thomas James Jones he will be, Yip, Tom Jones

I'm only sharing this cos none of you know him, but my son draws pictures of blonde girls in bright pink bikinis and he hides those :rotfl: He has done this since he was 7!
Haha! Thats quite cute.
God knows what my mother has found/read. I remember drawing willies in the back of my maths book, talking about this boys bits and how big we would like our breasts. No wonder i got a D in maths! I bet my mother saw that too.
I remember when i was about 5 and my brother was 18, i went up into his room and pulled out this square packet, opened it up and put it on my thumb. I went out into the garden and my brother must have seen me walk past cos he rushed out into the garden, pulled it off my finger and washed my hands! I said to him, "is it a special plaster from work?" and he said yes ha. He works in the car industry so i thought it was a special plaster (quite intelligent responce i thought!) But no, it was a condom. Ha. I'll have to ask him if he remembers that.
Anyway, my parents have gone out so im going to do some exercise! Woo. Wish me luck folks. I might go and put my sports bra on, this bra is a bit jiggly in your face.
Missyg: is that all you are going to lose now? 7 stone seems remarkably light. Excuse the spelling!0 -
Ok - a good week food wise but weight wise I stayed the same, actually I am not too bothered about this as I have been on the medication again!Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

bails the trust thing will never work for me,
(this weekend at my mum's is testament to that) but I do now believe it is possible. I estimate I am about 80% 'there' if you like - and that may be as far as I ever get, I'm not sure, but I know it feels a hell of a lot better than where I was before.
Delly offered some very good advice and I think KPC is right, you're not ready to trust in yourself yet (remember, it has taken me a very long time to get there). But the key is 'yet' - it may feel like never at the moment but if you can just hold the idea very lightly for now, without doing anything about it, you might surprise yourself in time; I certainly did, as KPC knows! Anything is possible if you allow it to be.
I agree completely with KPC about your son - I too binged in secret from as young as I can remember and a positive food role model is so important to break the cycle. That is one of the main reasons why I am working so hard on this now, before I start my own family - and for myself too, of course. I know from your posts that you are desperate for your children not to have issues around food and I believe relaxing a little will help you and them. You won't go off the rails I promise, we're all here to support you all the way. Keep a very casual eye on your DS and only bring it up if it continues for a while; as GN very rightly said, he could be hiding so many other, much worse things.I am fed up with myself this evening as I have eaten my fair share, why? because I was bored and because I can, surely you knew what was going to happen if you pigged out, why do it to yourself? Why, why and thrice why and still I press the self destruct button, just because I can,
I empathise completely with you Victory, as I know others on here do too, and I wish you every success xThe 1,000 Day Challenge:Feb 16, 2016500/30,000
