Piste is busily plumping up the cushions and making a space for Blondes to dump the naughty step.

Here we go! Let's see 2010 out in style my fellow Slinkies!

Our children pick up on everything we do, so it's no surprise that they pick up on this.

Mine know I am doing WW. I tell them that I want to have a healthy body because it feels better to be healthy.

They are happy with that, it makes sense to them.

Although ds1 has become my willpower Grin "No mum, you on diet!"

RatherBeOnThePiste · 18/11/2010 07:49

One of DDs mates is anorexic, I have talked about the worries of that on here. DD has just been watching the BBC story. There is a difference between us losing weight to be healthier, that's such a good thing, but it does worry me with DD thinking it might be a good thing for her. Fortunately she sees her friend's anorexia as only a bad thing and the negative impact on her life. Also all the sport she does, swimming club and now rowing do mean she needs to fuel her body. I think dieting as a parent is easier with little children. It would worry me less I think.

well done hecate on 1.5lb loss :)

piste - kwym,it is scary but even younger kids pick up on it,my 7yr knows im on a diet - i said it was coz i had put on some weight and it was healthy for me hence why im eating less - i also blamed my ankle and said i cant exercise at the moment, where she and her brother and friends are always running about/games at school/football/dance etc - she seems happy with that

bebe, if you give dd a snack maybe give rice cakes (salt&vinegar and marmite are yummy, cheese are bland) or cheese twists/bread sticks etc rather than biscuits

bebejones · 18/11/2010 13:11

Well done Hecate! :)

I am thankful that DD isn't old enough to realise that I have been dieting. Would have been harder if she was school age.

Blondes - I don't usually give her biscuits, need to do a shop! Wink Mostly it's fruit if she has a snack. She isn't fond of rice cakes, which is odd coz she loved them when she was a tiny! Hmm She is happily tucking into a cheese sandwich & some mini ryvitas for lucnh, doing so much better at the moment. It's hm pizza for tea (I am having carrot & ginger soup) so I know DD will eat that, and I can sneak some veg on it! :o

Got an appt this pm with doctor. Different one, not a fan of this one, but was the only option! Will see what he says. Hip very sore today. Not helped by having to climb in & out of the play area alot at the cafe this morning. DD was 'attacked' by another toddler who removed her hair clips (pulling out some of her hair), hit her over the head with a mega block (she now has a lump) and then smacked her on the head 3 times! Shock DD is a tough cookie & told the little girl not to hit [proud mummy emoticon], which is more than the mother seemed to do! Hmm My friend & I were quite surprised, has never happened there before. Makes me feel really awkward, tried to encourage DD to move away from her & thankfully she didn't hit her back.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 18/11/2010 16:05

I have just eaten about 45 S&V rice cakes and I blame Blondes for talking about them.

Am loving this Bear
how cute is that my fellow Slinks?

OP posts:
bebejones · 18/11/2010 19:41

Piste - I don't have that! How'd you do that?! So cute!

Just a little something to amuse you all...this made me smile today!

DD: Mummy, let's go get a baby!
Me: Where from?
DD Tesco!

:o

Hip is proper buggered. Have essentially got tennis elbow of the hip! Confused Have to go and see a different doctor on the 9th Dec, and they may possibly have to give me a steroid injection into my hip joint! :(

I caved & had some pizza for dinner. I had been waiting at the doctors over an hour & was starving! Will be my own fault 2moro if I gain!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 18/11/2010 20:13

Me and the Bear are sorry about your painful hip. Sad

ahhhhh!!!! how cute

Dd is going into school wearing her spotty dress, ds in non uniform, he doesn't own any spotty clothes but he's got stripes.

Weighing at ww this morning, I've had no breakfast and been to the loo. So I hope to have lost something.

bebejones · 19/11/2010 08:26
Bear
bebejones · 19/11/2010 08:29

Aaaaaaah! :) I love the Bear

I sts! Probably the pizza & lack of exercise....stupid hip! :( Oh well, at least I am 'maintaining' which is good I suppose!

Blondes - how were the twins?

Piste - Well done! :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 19/11/2010 08:38

I have to do spots too, so am wearing a Boden spotty shirt, you know the type. Plus DDs spotty , am crippled cos they is just too small! Still it's all for charrideee innit!!

OP posts:
bebejones · 19/11/2010 09:00

I don't have to wear spots, but then the only place I am going today is Tesco! Maybe I should draw some on me with lipstick?! Although I might look more like I have the pox! Wink

RatherBeOnThePiste · 19/11/2010 09:33

The missing word in my last post is wellies!

OP posts:
GettinTrimmer · 19/11/2010 11:25

lol piste!! Those spotty wellies is well cute
Well done you on your 1lb

Bebe, good for sts, that is an achievement as we well know. I haven't exercised this week, I have no excuse really, but I have just walked all over town and then back up to school because ds forgot his belt, he needs it to stop his jeans from falling down so left it there for him.

blondes, expect you are sleeping now, hope the babes were OK.

I went to ww and lost 0.5lb, but I am happy with any loss and just pleased to be back in the zone.

It makes sense it wasn't any more than that, as the leader said it also depends on what you did the week before
