Morning Hush. It's another beautiful day her in the north east. Sad to say that it's not meant to last until the weekend though. Typical!

I hope you're doing ok.

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 09:05

Good morning WTAFF.
It is a beautiful morning here on the south coast too.
Shame that it is not going to last until the weekend.
How are you? Have you been working with your PT?
I hope it is going well?
I am kind of OK.
I still seem to flit in and out of being reasonably okay to feeling desperate!
I am hoping that the counselling will help with that.
I just feel so lonely.

I hope you have a good day xx

I'm struggling with the PT if I'm honest. I'm working really hard but not really losing that much weight and I just think if this is how hard I'm going to have to work to keep the weight off f the rest of my life it's not sustainable.

You are bound to have ups and downs. As you say, hopefully the foundling will help.

Good morning Hush and WTAFF. Beautiful day here too. I'm going to do outside jobs. I think in the end it all goes down to how much we eat. No matter how active I am the only thing that affects my weight is food, and I enjoy my food!

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 10:23

WTAFF I agree with Pisco. I know that exercise helps but I think it is really down to the food we eat. Everything in moderation!
I hope you have a good day and enjoy the sunshine!xx

Good morning Pisco,
Glad you have a beautiful day too.
Enjoy doing your outside jobs.
I think you are right about it is how much we eat rather than exercise. Exercise helps but eating is the main thing.
Have a good day xx

'Everything in moderation, including moderation'.
Pass the chips!
(Work out done.)

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 10:56

Pisco well done for doing your work out again. I will have to put my big stick away again!
I could just eat some chips and some fish to go with them!
A bit strange before 11am!
Xx

PiscoSour66 · 20/04/2016 11:06

Not strange at all. Why don't you do that at lunch time? And sit somewhere nice and eat it straight out the paper? Good weather, nice view, big lunch. I'd join you if I could Smile

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 11:14

Perhaps I will do that at lunch time.
Would be good if you could join me😀🍟xx

PiscoSour66 · 20/04/2016 11:26

Wine to that!
Just go!

Allalonenow · 20/04/2016 13:11

Where the brass band plays tiddely om pom pom!!

I could just eat fish and chips too!

Or maybe a day trip to France.....

notonyurjellybellynelly · 20/04/2016 13:19

WTAFF. The older we get the harder it is to loose weight but keep on going because one day you'll realise hey, this skirt feels a bit loose on me. You'll also be gaining muscle which is heavier than fat so that can also make it look as if nothing's happening.

Do you have something like a Fitbit or Polar Loop that you can use to check you're calories in and out? If not I suggest you get one.

And you're measurements? Have you checked them as well?

Good luck. It will all happen for you soon.

notonyurjellybellynelly · 20/04/2016 16:11

Zzzzzzz zzzz Zzzzzzz|

My new book sent you to sleep???? Shock

PiscoSour66 · 20/04/2016 16:24

No!!!! My computer course! Grin
How is the new book?

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 17:12

Good afternoon, Allalone, notonyur and Pisco,
Didn't make it for fish and chips. Not much fun on your own.
I am going out to dinner tomorrow evening with a friend.
I hope you have all had a good day?
Xx

OP posts:
PiscoSour66 · 20/04/2016 17:19

That's a shame Hush. Maybe next time see if one of the boys are free?
Dinner tomorrow sounds nice though. Same place as last time?

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 17:55

Yes I am sure one of the boys would be up for fish and chips if they are around.
In my previous life I always had to make the fish and chips from scratch!
We are going to the place I normally take the boys.
Have been upset as I have been looking at the photos of a certain couple.
I don't think I will ever get over these awful feelings.
I think I might have to have some alcohol tonight.
It is just not right! Xx

OP posts:
Allalonenow · 20/04/2016 19:43

You make me laugh always calling him/them "certain person" or whatever. I think you would feel better if you called them what you really feel, such as The Lying Git and his Floosey.
Have you changed his name on your phone to something really rude? If not ~ do it NOW!

Were the photos that upset you on FaceCrap? If so, step away, why make yourself miserable by looking at them? And don't forget that FaceCrap is just a snapshot of how we want people to see our life, remind yourself what a horrible man he actually is.

Please don't look on Fartbook, it will only cause you pain, hush my love, I thought your son had blocked them anyway?

It's all smoke and mirrors anyway, alla is bang on the money, he's a pathetic, mendacious cheat, good riddance to him.

You have to look forward, not back, you have a great future ahead with your sons and there will come a time when you really won't care what he is up to.

Talk to your counsellor about why you feel the need to torture yourself in this way.
These feelings will ease, I promise you, you are still in recovery, it's been a massive shock and a blow to your self esteem, and it's still early days for you. Xx

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 20:37

I am glad I made you laugh Allalone!
You are probably right. It might be X rated if I called them what I really feel!
He never phones me so it doesn't make a lot of difference!
No Fb is blocked. These are from other sources.
I am just so lonely xx

OP posts:
Allalonenow · 20/04/2016 20:43

Nothing is X-rated here, as long as you don't identify any individual. So call him what you really want to, that is the wonder of Mumsnet Smile

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 20:43

Thanks Hobbit.
Fb is blocked. These are from before. I just try to work out 'why' this has happened and 'why' they are happy and I have been left to feel like this. Sitting here on my own crying!
I wish I had your confidence about my future.
It is a massive shock and it is so cruel!
