Haha @dexter ! There are quite of a lot naturally vegan pasta dishes, but I'd not manage without meat. That curry sounds delicious though.

I'm ill and have kept on working and have just been shovelling loads of food in my mouth to keep going. Yesterday I had soup THEN 4 rounds of baguette provided as a sandwich lunch which I had eaten the soup to avoid. Weight piling on but just need to get through today and then I can collapse / rest

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 02/10/2019 12:55

I really went for it last night. Had some really bad news and just didn't care - a whole bottle of wine, goodness knows how many mini rolls and roll snacks ( much to my DDs disgust, none left for her 🤷‍♀️) and that's just what can remember.
Been to the gym today tho, so pulling it back.
No breakfast, but jacket potato, cheeses &beans (no butter) for lunch.

TigerJoy · 02/10/2019 17:21

I'm sorry @dexter. That's really shit. Sometimes we just need to get through the day.

I'm really struggling at work, still ill and my motivation for eating well is in the toilet. To be honest I am a hair away from going to the GP and getting signed off with stress.

ANYWAY i will be back on it this evening. Got some slow cooked duck from m&s for dinner to have with actifry chips and microwave green veg selection. Not the most obvious of flavour combos but I realised there wasn't enough time to cook the roast chicken i wanted before DH has to leave for his night shift

It's a marathon not a sprint

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 02/10/2019 21:05

@TigerJoy please don't struggle too hard at work. I did that - ended up going to lunch and not going back for three months! Nobody thanks you for ploughing on, and if it's anything like my place, they'll replace you in a heartbeat. Your Mental Health is more important. Eating, and everything else, will follow on. Life is simply too precious.

TigerJoy · 02/10/2019 21:22

Thanks @dexterslockedintheshedagain

My workplace is pretty great, I'm not sure why I pushed on through. I'm staying home for the rest of the week, not even sure if I'll call it sick leave, I'm so fed up. Having some gin tonight, back on the wagon tomorrow, will just do what I feel like for a few days.

How has your day been? Are you feeling ok after your bad news?

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/10/2019 21:36

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/10/2019 15:51

Thank you @Blondeshavemorefun and @TigerJoy

Food wise, I've been good since Tuesday but very down moodwise. Surely there has to be more to life than trying to lose weight?
And to add insult to injury, my (getting on a bit) old lady dog seems to have lost control of her bowels-woke up this morning to the most horrendous smell, and both dogs caked in poop.

Weighing tonight. Anything could happen. Not sure if I should bother, but I missed last week.

TigerJoy · 03/10/2019 16:37

Oh no! A poocalypse. On top of everything else. You poor thing - and your poor dog. She might just have a poorly tummy - I came downstairs once to find poop everywhere - everywhere - and it was an isolated event. Thank god.

Good luck with the weigh in.

Just keep going! I'm really not doing well and haven't for weeks, but I'm doing better than I was before I started, if that makes sense. You'll get there in the end.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/10/2019 21:46

Well, I stayed the same, which after the week I've had is a bloody miracle!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 03/10/2019 21:47

Poocalypse made me proper chuckle!

TigerJoy · 04/10/2019 11:29

Well done @dexter! That's brilliant.

I am out for a chinese meal tonight and my tummy isn't feeling great so I might just starve until then

B - egg white, bacon medallion, cherry tomatoes
D - salt and pepper squid, prawns, beef in black bean, boiled rice

S NO CHOCOLATE

TigerJoy · 06/10/2019 19:56

So things have gone to pot this weekend but I have the BEST reason but I can't really post it on the internet.

Imagine something that has gone wrong but so spectacularly that everyone you tell goes "!!!!"

I'm safe and fine but have just drunk shit loads of red wine. I have been given many hugs.

I start again tomorrow.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/10/2019 21:49

I haven’t weighed. Will do tomorrow

Lost my Mojo. When I’m good I lose weight

I'm back after another round of failed IVF (number 4 ☹️).

On it tomorrow.

Anyone know the syns in 75ml of Asda fresh single cream?

And 750 chicken niblets no skin?

It's for a recipe I made today.

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 07/10/2019 01:29

Oh Tigerjoy - give us a clue! Don't leave us hanging!!

Sorry to hear that @twinkledag Thanks for you

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/10/2019 14:18

Oh @twinkledag 💐💐

I know excatly how you are feeling - I had 4 failed ivf :(

Everyone breaks your heart a little more, let alone the mental emotional physical and in our case financial aspects

Have you had an era? If not then I do advise if you decide to have another go to have an era

Amazingly the 5th worked and I became a mummy

But took 10yrs ttc and £27k to get that one magical bfp

Do message me if you want to chat 💐💐

twinkledag · 07/10/2019 14:26

Hi blondes

Thanks for your message. I have a DS from my first round, been trying for his sibling for 3 years ☹️

Will look into ERA.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/10/2019 14:31

I thought you did as recognised your name from infertility boards - but didn’t want to put my foot in it Incase I hadn’t you mixed up

OP posts:
TigerJoy · 07/10/2019 17:00

I'm so sorry @twinkledag.

What's an era? I've not understood much about what goes on with the infertility boards - it's mostly acronyms...I saw an acupuncturist today for the first time to help with the fertility and my chronic pain. It went well, I certainly feel a lot calmer!

@dexterslockedintheshedagain Sorry can't say what I had to deal with as it involves CRIME and is massively outing. I put on my big girls pants and dealt with it. I've not much experience of dealing with criminals though, so it was a bit scary. Still requires some sorting with police. Hence the cake today.

B - M&S no fat greek yoghurt with rhubarb
L - M&S cod mornay with extra green veg (300 calories)
D - baked potato, fresh veg, some source of protein I haven't yet bought (fish, or a joint of beef probably)

S - 2 MASSIVE homemade cupcakes covered with huge amounts of buttercream plus a cadbury flake. 1,000 syns.

twinkledag · 07/10/2019 17:57

I hate the fact that you recognise me from the Infertility boards ☹️

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/10/2019 18:54

Sorry :(

It’s more coz I lived on there pretty much from when I joined mn - so get to recognise somenames

Sorry didn’t mean to out you 💐

That and the tv and nanny topics

OP posts:
twinkledag · 07/10/2019 20:01

No no it's not you, it's just sad that we have to hang around on the infertility board 😞

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/10/2019 21:04

@TigerJoy an era is a mock cycle where on a certain day you have a scrape /biopsy of lining taken. Like a smear or fet

They test this to see if the lining needs more progynova /progesterone and if the lining shows the right day

Mine shows I needed more /longer and wasn’t ready day 19/20 of fet

era😍

@TigerJoy I'm so sorry! That sounds serious. Hope you're ok! You deserve that cake
