The Shiney Path to a Healthy Life Revolution

[BitOfFun]

Welcome to our, ooh, 64th Healthy Eating thread. We are a bunch of friends who are happy to welcome newbies prepared to join in with our resolve to strive to be healthier, quite possibly slimmer, but certainly filthier than the rest of mumsnet. If you can embrace our mascot with reverence, then you're in!

Away we go...

Oh BoF

Oh Bof, poor DD and poor you.
Is the safe space like the room you did for your DD? Goodness, you are doing all you can to make her safe, you can't foresee climbing up wardrobes and taking down ceiling tiles.

SAF, glad you are pain free this morning

Bitter, glad you don't ache. My bum does this morning but that is from the gym I think, did some new weights and I could tell it would ache as I did them.

Begone extra large muffin top, begone!

Good morning all.

BoF what a nightmare, hopefully the safe place will be sped up now. Am I right in thinking you have got the funding for it?

Lizzy - I like Vermonica Mars aswell but found it quite confusing.

Bitter - how are you this morning?

Claudia - good evening.

Alice - your evening sounded good, what is Run FatBoy like?

Today I have taken an hour to take DC's to nursery as managed to forget DD's bag with all her spare clothes in and now it is off to my mother#s where I seem to have taken on the role of her secretary.

Good morning all.

BoF, bless her, really hope the safe space comes soon.

Trills, New York, how exciting!

I'm not aching too much, but that was a pretty poor exercise DVD, so tonight I will do one of the other of the Rosemary Conley boxset I 'treated' myself to last year.

Cornflakes for breakfast. They're not as nice when not forming part of a cake.

Poor DD BoF.

Safespace is a like a luxurious brightly-coloured padded cell

I am doing an emoticon round up again

Claudia

I'm .........

If I haven't lost weight I have toned but have a touch of sciatica so am having to be careful...

SaF, sorry I posted that while you were posting yours, I am sorry, it hurts doesn't it. And makes you so weary of relationships.

Oh SAF, don't be so down on yourself. I know you're upset, but him getting back with his ex doesn't mean that you meant nothing to him whilst you were together.

Mitts, like your emoticon round up!

Gosh, saf, I don't know what to say .

Agree that people really should be kinder to each other.

Also agree with Lizzy, it doesn't mean it wasn't real to him at the time.

Oh SAF, what a bloody shame. How sad, relationships are so bloody hard sometimes. Hard to get going, hard to keep going, hard to finish. Try not to turn it all inward though.

BOF how awful! Your poor dd and how bloody wearing for you.

Bloody bloody bloody - seems to be my word of the morning.

Kids home from school - they are always manic at this time - tired and crazy.

Off to give them a bath after the Simpsons.

You and me both SaF.... Don't change though. I have been there and am licking my wounds. Trying to be a bigger person than how the crap relationships in my life have left me.
It's not easy though. Hurts like Fuck. Fed up of hurting. I don't want to be cynical and hard but I am not sure how not to be. I may some day travel extensively. But for now just walking the earth and breathing the air and taking each day as it comes.
Take care SaF... will put my MoB no on FB if you (or anyone else wants it).

Hey Lizzy.. how are you?

Morning

Oh Bof

My head is killing me, feels like my eyes balls are going to pop out of my head, i have no idea why

Hey Mitts, am fine, shattered after waking up at 2am but hey ho! How about you?

Vinny, poor you. Have you had some painkillers? Is it eye strain?

Claudia, not sure if you saw, but I wondered if NZ was expensive? Or is it just some things? Is Oz the same?

Bof - sorry, its dd2 ok apart from the eye? Is it possible to remove the wardrobe to stop the climbing? Right now i want to live in a bungalow. Ds and stairs is a bad combo too. I forsee broken bones. But there is no stopping them. they get an idea in their head and they are fixated, continuing until success. or diasterous failure.

Morning mitts.

I need to go. i was going to catch up properally but i blinked and i have to go to the hospital. I hate hospitals. And i hurt. I have impact injury to my shoulders. it hurts to move. ice skating is dangerous.

SAF - I know where you're coming from I really do. I'm very open in my feelings, wear my heart on my sleeve, want people to just be honest and adult and have found they're usually not . It's hard to get your head round. I told DP at the start that if it was just a bit of fun and he wanted to see other people too then that was fine, but to let me know because obv I wouldn't introduce to dd. He was all 'no, of course not, we're exclusive I only want you etc', met dd, I let him in, and then found out that actually he was still talking to lots of other people. Breaks your trust. Although DP is still DP, our relationship has certainly changed and, if it doesn't sound too stupid to say - I've changed. I'm more guarded and more expecting rejection than I was before

So I know how you feel and how it hurts and how confusing it is and how just damn frustrating that people can't be adults and honest. (( ))

But now at least you're free of him and can find someone who is decent and worthy of you

Oh SAF, I hate that people can't be more considerate of each other.

Slug, hope it works out at the hospital.

Vinny, have you got hayfever?

Excellent round-up Mitts.

Oh god- I hope you're going to be ok Slug, sounds really painful!

SAF- mitts is right: don't change, you haven't done anything wrong, he is just doing the old emotional fuckwittery

Trills is right on the safe space btw- it's like a padded room, a bit like the soft play area. The idea is that there are no sharp edges or hard walls. I've been on the phone since I last posted, but can't seem to get hold of the right people to speak to until after lunch.

oh no slug, hope you are ok?

Sorry you got hurt SAF

I do have hayfever Wasting but i dont think its why my eyes hurt, i suspect it is to do with my health issues r.e my thyriod, but i am going to book an eye test anyway because i suspect i might need glasses, years of working behind a computer screen is taking its toll now surely

Good idea Vin.

I've got stew on the hob and have had a few grapes. Good food day today.

Lizzy sorry, busy time, getting kids bathed and bed.

I don't know how expensive NZ is. I would suspect it is more expensive than here as goods have to be shipped further, but i don't know for sure? Maybe salaries are higher to compensate?

Crikey Slug, I hope you're ok.

Bof how frustrating.
