Hi RS and Beaninelou

Just read through your post RS and I really could do with you joining in as it will keep us both out of the cupboard I'm being a self pitying cow ATM too so we can be grumpy ald bags together.

I have upset everyone in the house today because I'm in a mood. The Tadpoles are staying well out of the way and they dont know why I'm upset. Mr Frog keeps trying to be nice by making me cups of tea et.c but I'm not even talking to him so now he's gone off out in the car to go and clean his lorry :rolleyes: I know I'm being a b**ch but I cant stop.

RS Every time we think we've come up with another way to loose weight we just come back to this again don't we? We were talking about this last September. One of us actually stuck to it, and consequently she's now 7 st lighter and we're still unhappy :rolleyes: I want to binge right now because it will make me happy right now, but later on this evening I will want to top meself SO, like a good little Frog I WONT binge today, or any other day, because that's why I'm sad now.

It's like a really destructive relationship where you are treated like real poo but you stay because "I love them" :rolleyes: I always look at those people and think they are such muppets. Well, we love to binge, but it don't like us. So stuff it, we can do without it and then we'll be happy

Beanielou I DO WANT TO LOOSE WEIGHT and I am loosing it, and I will get there this time :T

Sainsburys was OK in the end. I just avoided all the binge food completely and didn't even look down those isles. It was hard sniffing the bread but i imagined they'd put pigs blood in when they were cooking and I changed me mind about having some then.

Right, as RS said THANKYOU all of you who help me ALL THE TIME :A I really need you all and am SO grateful for your help and support and friendship. Gonna try really hard to snap out of my mood and be the irritatingly silly frog I know you love tomorrow

Not had a great weekend have eaten lots of things I shouldn't :mad:

Went to a BBQ last night. Had a quorn sausage and burger both in rolls with salad. That was fine then the alcohol got cracked open and had two glasses of rose wine then felt hungry again so had crisps, marshmallows, strawberries and chocolate. I felt so annoyed with myself because I'd eaten really well all day until then!

We stayed over at the peoples house this morning and last night had all decided to go to a big market/boot sale this morning. We got up late so didnt have time for breakfast so about 11 o clock i had a vegetable cornish pasty and chips. My plan for the rest of the day is to just have some fruit and some cereal later. So I have kind of eaten my food in reverse (if that makes sense!?) Im just so annoyed at myself because Ive been doing so well these last few weeks and then I ate this stuff .

Oh well tomorrow is Monday so I'm going to have my extra sensible eating head on and hopefully it wont have too much of an effect when I weigh myself on Thursday!

Hi all,

lots of people seem to be doing well at the moment, well done us! My weighday is tomorrow, I am just so desperate to get to 2st loss, I'll probably leap out of bed about 6am & run to the scales!!!

Todays food:

B - 2 x shredded wheat & semi skimmed

L- no proper lunch, grazed on mullerlite, apple, orange.

D - roast chicken, potatoes, yorkshire pud, stuffing, veg & gravy. Will eat all as have had very few calories today but no seconds!!!

Snacks - will try & stick to fruit or yog snack if peckish, don't want to wreck weigh day!!

Have done walking & callanetics. Cross your fingers for me!!

There's nothing worse than eating when you're not hungry, don't really want to, yet you just can't stop yourself. I see that a few of you have the same problem. I've also never figured out why it's sometimes called comfort eating when it makes you feel worse!

The only light in my dark eating tunnel has been a sympathetic gp. I have polycystic ovaries. My gp has given me Metformin which is used for type 2 diabetes. When I take it properly, the weird cravings actually stop, or at the worst become mostly controlable.

I am also slowly building a list of things that I can't have in the house. Cider and stilton cheese come right at the top. It's still a never ending battle to walk past the doughnuts and danish pastries at Asda, because one is never enough.

In some ways I am lucky. My dh works away, and when he is home he doesn't eat chocolate, so that helps. My ds (aged 3) isn't keen on any food, and that includes cakes, biscuits, crisps and sweets (he likes maltesers, cadbury fudge and cadbury buttons, that's it!), so I don't have to buy junk for them.

I think in my rambling kind of way I'm just trying to show my support Frogga, RS, BigMummaF and anyone else with the same problem. It is a battle that can be won, although I think it's slower for us than some. I weighed 17-2 in January 2005, and I was 14-12 this morning, so keep your chin up (or chins if you're like me) and keep at it.

Breakfast : 2 crumpets with peanut butter
Lunch : M&S Sushi (not OS but only £1 and a treat), pineapple
Dinner : Quorn Lasagne (homemade)

Take care all of you, and RS, I'm only across the river if you fancy a coffee once dh is home in July and can mind the little person for me.

Well done on getting round Sainsburys Frogga! I didn't go in the end - I decided that I only actually NEEDED a couple of things so DD2 went to the corner shop and got me a loaf and some swing bin liners. The rest can wait until I NEED to go shopping. I made a storecuboard lunch for kids - a packet of savoury rice with the last off the chicken carcass, peas and sweetcorn stirred into it, and some easiyo ice cream for afters. They didn't mind at all - Just proves that it is ME that I am buying all this stuff for after all!

I wasn't too hungry at lunch so just had two thin slices of corned beef and three pickled onions. I am hungry now so looking forward to my tea of braised red cabbage (hm) and beef casserole.

Cranky - I have heard that metformin can help with cravings - I saw it on that Channel 5 programme "The Diet Doctors" - but unlike you, my GP, whilst very nice about everything else is of the "just eat less" mentality.

I saw some stuff about knitting on another thread and so I have decided that I am going to learn to knit. I have a friend who lives on the Wirral who is a fantastic knitter so I am going to ask her to show me how to do it properly (I can knit and purl etc. but can't increase/decrease) and then I am going to knit one of those cute Nativity sets. - Should keep me out of the cupboard!

Hope you are all having a nice Sunday!

Cheerfulness - well done on resisting the urge and coming on here. It must be so hard for you ATM. Has he decided to go and talk to the doctor yet?

My tea wasn't the beef casserole I had planned as the beef wasn't cooked through enough (still very tough) so I had to do a VERY quick re-think as that sort of thing can set me off so I had a jacket potato in the micro with shredded lettuce, tomatoes (those on the vine plum ones which were whoopsed - should have been over £2 but only 40p and soooo much nicer than ordinary ones), spring onions, 2 thin slices of boiled ham and about 8 prawns, with about 3 tbs of dressing made from low fat sour cream, lemon juice, chives and onion salt. It was gorgeous as I was really quite hungry (well in so much as I ever get hungry because I think my hunger mechanisms are well and truly bug*ered). For afters I made a sort of mixture of fresh raspberries, 3 hazlenuts, 3 cherries and a peach yoghurt. It was also v. nice. Now I am quite full and hope not to have anything other than a cup or two of tea before bed.

(((((hugs))))) to all of you who need one. :grouphug: You can and will do this girls!

Frogga - I know what you mean about feeling like a slave! There's only 2 of us but I feel like his Mum some times! I get up early and clean up the debris from the night before - cups, toast crumbs, butter out of the fridge :mad: :mad: No consideration some folks :rolleyes:

I was awful last night, I had my Magnum at the pictures (Indiana was brilliant!!) Then came home and raided the bread bin and the biscuit barrel:mad: I didn't really want it I was just eating for eatings sake:mad: fekt sick when I went to bed

We should have gone out today, I got up this morning and made a picnic lunch then OH got up with a really sore throat so we went to the lotty instead! Funny, his sore throat didn't keep him off the fags though :rolleyes:

The weather has been fantastic, I've actually burned a bit on my back - unusual for me as I'm quite dark skinned and I had got suncream on.
So we had our picnic at the lotty and came home for tea so I'm back on track:D
Eggs, mushrooms and beans for brekkie, bean salad for lunch and quorn fillet, jacket spud and homegrown salad for tea

The ironing mountain beckons :A
