The problem is I don't think I have moved on! My head tells me he is not worth it and I can find better or be happier on my own but then I put the DDs to bed and feel really lonely! I have thought about telling her but I'm not sure what good that would actually do! I have texts as proof but she has pretty much moved in with him and they have only been together about a month!

I need to find something else that I can focus on that will take my mind off him! I want to be 10st by the christening which means I need to lose 6lbs in the next 4 weeks!

Solo · 24/07/2011 14:55

Muffins! I can so relate to your last post. I am ruled by my heart and close on three years after catching Dd's father with another woman, I still fight with my feelings about him. I know that if I could just meet someone else, I'd be Ok, the focus would move away from 'him' and he'd stop creeping into my thoughts as often as he does. All the time that I was 'A hot cougar' with the cub, I was fine and actually, it did sort me out a bit more. Now I'm not saying that you should jump into another relationship, but focussing on something else is a definite thing to do. DON'T BREAK!!! you'll kick yourself. I broke with Ds's father and ended up with Ds which isn't all bad, but you know...wasn't how I wanted to have children iyswim?

Hi

I fell off the wagon, and I need your help.
Have lost my book, but it must be around here somewhere.

Help me lovely people.

nevergoogle · 24/07/2011 20:48

btw, not just fallen off the wagon, but eating ALL the time. I'm under lots of stress at the moment and only seem to be able to think about food.

MuffinsMummy · 24/07/2011 20:50

It's like an addiction! I have to phone or text him every day unless I am pissed off with him, and that doesn't last long! I would like to meet a man who I can text or phone when I'm bored / lonely, I can have a laugh with and who I can see when the DDs are with exh, at the moment Saturday morning but going to Friday overnight at the end of august. I do not want to introduce anyone to DDs yet, I do not want to see them more than twice a week and I most def do not want it to interfer with my friends. Is that possible? :)

I eat too much curry tonight and then DD3 and mostly me finished off the nearly full tub of ice cream Angry I am going to read the book now and start again tomorrow!

MuffinsMummy · 24/07/2011 20:55

nevergoogle you're not the only person who has fallen off the wagon there seems to have been a lot of stress lately! Have you tried following a couple of the rules only and building up to all of them? Do you chew your food 20 times?

Haven't got a lot of practical advice just wanted you to know you're not alone!

nevergoogle · 24/07/2011 21:08

Thanks. I'm going to listen to the CD tonight and start again in the morning.

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 24/07/2011 22:30

Right the weekend of excess is over :) We have had a lovely time, and DS1 enjoyed his birthday and his party. Quite where the hell I am supposed to keep all his new toys, I have no idea!

I am going to read some of the book tonight before I go to sleep, maybe listen to the CD depending on how well DS2 settles down.

We need a new thread title. Something about re-focusing/getting back on the wagon/pulling ourselves back to Paul?

Solo · 25/07/2011 01:30

It is possible Muffins, but only you can get that going! :)

I got sent a mail yesterday from a chap on GirlsDateForFree. His name was TractorBoy or something like that. He is 50. He asked me if I was into one night stands!!! I said, not with you I'm not! he said No, not that, your bust is too small!!! Shock my two pictures are head shots only cheaky sod! I blocked him...he looked like a really educated sort too!!! not!

MuffinsMummy · 25/07/2011 04:13

I think he is playing games with my head :( I can't see any way of getting away from him :(

solo there are some truely awful weirdos out there! I have signed up to uniformdating.com but to actually do anything other than search and look at people profiles you have to pay. The whole thing just reminds me of going out and seeing the blokes go from woman to woman trying to find someone who will take them home! It's normally so blatant as well! Yuck!

I was really tired at the girls bedtime so went straight to bed myself feel wide awake now!

Right today is another day! Let's get motivated! I'm doing it so I can look my best for DD3s christening in 4 weeks, I want to have the convidence to tell exh to fuck off and mean it and I want to meet someone nice :)

why is everyone else doing this?

TheOriginalFAB · 25/07/2011 07:56

Come on everyone. new day, new week, we can do this.

.

I'm only a stone off what I was when 9 months pregnant with DC3 Sad.

ppeatfruit · 25/07/2011 08:38

Blimey NEVERGOOGLE!! I'm glad you're back!! we're all a bit down on this old thread shall we start the new one and get really positive??

PositiveAttitude · 25/07/2011 08:40

I am still heading in the right direction. Another 2lb off this week, so 30lb in all!! Grin
If you start another thread I will come and find you when I get back from holiday.

MM I am doing this because I started off as huge and was fed up of having to go without what I liked if I wanted to lose any weight, then I would fall off the wagon totally and fee l rubbish, comfort eat and put more back on! My head seems to be in the right place for now and I am not finding PM a problem. I don't want to go back to how I was eating. I want to keep going.

Today is a new day, a new week and you know you can all do this. Smile

ppeatfruit · 25/07/2011 08:51

hi guys

I love to join this thread.
I am going on holiday in 10 days time and desperate to lose 6-8 pounds . Is it possible on this method? I have read the book and listened to the CD . It is fantastic , it is exactly about me. However I stopped WW immediately when I read the book and that was about 10 days ago , now I started to feel a bit lost since I am trying to listen to my own needs rather then following a stupid totally unrealistic system . I have lost 1-2 pounds , but now I am so desperate to lose more before my holiday.

Niecie · 26/07/2011 11:27
