It's very unpleasant isn't it?

Have not been Pauling for 4 weeks now, and have gained 7lbs of my 2 stone loss back :(

Off to catch up on the thread x

Yes, it is miserable.

BsshBossh · 21/06/2011 16:16

FAB, instead of chocolate can you have a mug of hot chocolate (perhaps the lo-cal kind) just to take the edge off the chocolate urge?

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 21/06/2011 16:31

Afternoon ladies :)

Solo - you look bloody amazing woman, and surely your profile is lying about your age??

I am the same with body image - I think I look fine and then the pictures tell a different story. So I have to keep track somehow.

Hello HowTo :)

TheOriginalFAB · 21/06/2011 16:41

BB - It isn't even that I have the urge for chocolate, just trying something to wake me up.

SoloIsAHotCougar · 21/06/2011 16:49

Ali! thanks, but I'm afraid I am 47 Grin, I have good genes...I'll put a pic up of me and Mum and you'll never believe her age!

I am very disappointed your real name isn't Willow Grace, Solo. I reckon with a name like that you would naturally become tall, slim and well, willowy I suppose.Smile

Which PMK group are you in? There are so many of them although some are bigger than others.

SoloIsAHotCougar · 21/06/2011 17:33

Hold on, I will link...

JIN AND I'll tell you about my choice of name!

Welcome back Howto I have been wondering where you had got to. Smile

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 21/06/2011 19:11

I have been a bit embarassed that I abandoned the plan for no good reason. Its so darn easy, and makes me feel so good about myself, why did I sabotage it? I am an idiot Blush

HowToLookGoodGlaikit · 21/06/2011 19:11

Forgot to ask, how is everyone doing?

MuffinsMummy · 21/06/2011 20:29

fab and solo when my friend with lupus has joint pain and tiredness she says she isn't capable of doing anything. She has to nap most afternoons.

Welcome back howto :)

TheOriginalFAB · 21/06/2011 20:43

I need to nap by about 11 SadBlush. So annoying and such a waste of time.

MuffinsMummy · 21/06/2011 21:01

fab is there anythingthe doctor can do? I really should stop thinking about the negatives in my life and be greatful for all of the good things, my health and 3 lovely DDs for a start!

I have just requested to join the fb group my initials are kp for those already on it. My page is in my real name not mumsnet username.

BsshBossh · 21/06/2011 22:24

HowTo, you've only gained half a stone back and a good bit of that may even be water retention so don't worry Smile. Welcome back!

Niecie · 21/06/2011 22:58

HowtoLookGood - Nice to see you again. At least you had the balls to come back - lots of people would have given up completely after not being around for so long but you are clearly made of tougher stuff than that.Smile

We had a discussion about sabotaging ourselves about a week or so ago, further down the thread. I think a lot of us do it or have done it in the past. I wish I knew what the solution was and how to stop doing it because as you say, Pauling is so easy there is no reason why any of us should fail.Confused

TheOriginalFAB · 22/06/2011 08:11

When I weighed myself the other morning I was 12 stone 12. Last night I was 12 stone 13lb. This morning I was 12 stone 11. I don't normally weigh myself like that but was curious. Not sure what I actually weigh.

MuffinsMummy · 22/06/2011 17:36

I want to eat chocolate but I'm not hungry! I have just got myself some water hopefully thatwill help!

fab I weighed monday morning and was 10st 7 3/4lbs but when I weighed Monday night I was 10st 9 1/4lbs!
