I have been stupid as this is not me and I don't know what I was thinking. I don't even know what they are acai something or other. Hsve to go for the kids now. dh will sort it out. I just want to cry and i know why, not really about stupid shopping but it is the reason i did the stupid shopping.

Solo · 08/09/2011 14:53

I bought those too years ago (Akai berry or something). I hardly touched them tbh as I think I knew deep down they wouldn't work.

I am losing the plot. Need tomorrow to be over. Going for kids now. Thanks for being so kind and not calling me stupid as I know I am.

Solo · 08/09/2011 15:00

Come back to talk it over FAB. You aren't stupid. Well if you are, so am I!

GiganticusBottomus · 08/09/2011 15:44

How do you think we know they don't work FAB?! Honestly, you aren't stupid at all, sometimes we all get overwhelmed and make silly decisions. Paul is the way forward, unfortunately there are no easy solutions to weight loss (I know you know that already) and this is coming from someone who paid £££ to do Cambridge diet last year, lost 2 1/2 stone and then put most of it back on in the next 8 months Blush
Do come back when you have got dc Smile

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 08/09/2011 15:46

Fab - we all have these moments of madness. Have to say I love your style 'DH I have fucked up, can you fix it? Thank-you' Grin I must try that one, in our house it tends to be the other way around......

Niecie - Come Outside is still on! DS1 adores Pippin and I have to pretend to be Aunty Mabel in her plane on a regular basis Grin

Solo · 08/09/2011 15:52

Yes, I think over the past 10 years, I've ordered, paid for and tried (for a few days) about 4 different slimming aids! Blush. They either tasteed foul, lost their appeal or didn't start working within 20 minutes, so I lost faith in them! You are certainly not the only one to have done this.

OP posts:
TheOriginalFAB · 08/09/2011 16:23

I am back Blush You are all so lovely.

DH rang them but I have to do it as it is in my name and I have to pay the postage to send back but it will be okay. And it is £70 a month!! Shock.

I have adios upstairs too Blush.

In my defence I have lost my mind a bit today over other things - eating is fine, maybe not eating enough though Confused - but I have never bought anything like this before and it was because I read the reviews and believed them

Niecie · 08/09/2011 16:54

FAB - we have all had moments of shopping madness. I buy make up for time to time. I have 4 make up bags because I don't ever use it but I am just dreaming that one day I might be groomed and glamourous. We all for the idealised world these products entice us with. Yours just happened to be about making you slim. Mine was about making me look good but it ended up being me with a bit of slap on. You just happen to have chosen diet pills. Its all the same thing. We aren't happy with ourselves so we want to change it. . You should be able to cancel the order if you have only just placed it. It won't have been despatched so nothing lost.

Alibaba - Glad Aunty M is still on. She was fab!!

Niecie · 08/09/2011 16:57

Whoops ....fall for

TheOriginalFAB · 08/09/2011 17:12

Just had a scary email off them. Saying it wasn't a free trial Confused and people don't read the terms and conditions. Also people are busy and can't always get to the post office so I can keep what I have ordered and just pay half. I haven't received anything yet and it has logged it that I ordered tham at 9.13 this morning which I definitely did not. I wasn't even in.

Niecie · 08/09/2011 18:23

Can you cancel the card payment FAB? That would be the easiest thing and if the pills arrive send them straight back.

GiganticusBottomus · 08/09/2011 18:24

BTW did anyone watch the Clare richards programme - thread about it here

It was interesting, her behaviour will ring a few bells with us lot I think.

TheOriginalFAB · 08/09/2011 18:54

DH said they haven't taken the money yet and he will be emailing them once they send confirmation that they have received the tablets and cancelled the order. He has seen something illegal on their site and he will no doubt relish taking them on if they don't do what I have asked.

All over the damn site it said free trial Angry.

PositiveAttitude · 08/09/2011 20:00

(((hugs))) FAB. Been there, done it, got the X-large Tshirt!! Grin

GOne a little AWOL with the Pauling today in light of birthday celebrations. Full now, so nothing else tonight and back to normal tomorrow......no guilt, even skinny minnies have birthdays!!!!! Grin

TheOriginalFAB · 08/09/2011 20:41

I don't feel very well Sad. I feel like I have a big lump in my throat and I know it is because I am stressing.

GiganticusBottomus · 08/09/2011 20:46

om nom nom!

Smile Happy birthday PA! Smile

Sorry you are having a crappy day Fab Sad

JuicyOlive · 08/09/2011 23:26

Forgive me Paulers I have sinned. Yeah, yeah, I know I need to forgive myself and be kind.

Some of you might remember me from several months back, but I see there are lots of lovely new people on the thread too. Basically I've been doing very well at the "Eat What You Want" bit of Pauling. I need to refocus on some of the other bits, having put on half a stone over the summer (which I could ill afford anyway).

I'm three days in. Trying to listen to Paul each evening to get my head back into it. I never had a huge success in the first place, but Pauling did stabilise me and put me in a good mindframe, so it's time to give it another go.

Will be back soon.

Solo · 08/09/2011 23:56

Heya! welcome back :) I'm not doing great this week, hey ho. Must do better!

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 09/09/2011 00:18

Oh God this bloody dress I have to wear on Saturday. Yes it fits, but it looks hideous. It is cut totally wrong for me, so skimpy in the top that I can't wear a bra - and I am breastfeeding for heaven's sake, I have 38GG boobs. :( I can just about fit a breast pad in so that I don't end up with leaking patches. It is also purple, the worst colour for me, ever. I look awful in it, just awful. Like a cheap, horrible I don't know what.

It has really knocked the stuffing out of me actually. I look better than I have done for ages, can I show it off? No, because I have to wear a foul dress.

I know it is not about me, not my day blah blah. But I am :( that I am going to be out in public looking hideous. With no bra on. I haven't gone out with no bra on since I was 19.

Thank goodness I can use the excuse of needing to feed DS2 to change into something more flattering once the ceremony and photos are done.

I hate myself for feeling like this, I love my friend dearly and I am so honoured that she asked me to be bridesmaid. However at this moment in time I really wish I had declined, which is a shame.

It has really made me realise how fragile my self-image is - it is making me want to not go because I can't bear the thought of being seen. Obviously I will go.

Apparently there is a pashmina, because it is looking like it will be cold. Perhaps I can wrap it around myself and hide my tits somehow?

Tell me to get a grip ladies, please?

Solo · 09/09/2011 00:24

Ali you will be FINE! You probably think you look worse than you do.

Could you buy a Spanx type thing to wear under it? it won't help with the no bra, but if you got the type that goes from under bust down to the knees, it'd give you a smoother outline and may make you feel better about yourself.
I'm off to sleep now. Speak tomorrow.

OP posts:
Alibabaandthe80nappies · 09/09/2011 00:28

Solo I have Spanx, but actually from under-boob down it is a nice enough dress and doesn't cling anywhere. I will be wearing the Spanx though, largely for warmth! Grin

It is the boobs. Bloody hell. DH can't see a problem Hmm

Sleep well :)

JuicyOlive · 09/09/2011 08:16

Ali. Would tit tape work?

Niecie · 09/09/2011 09:30

Oh dear Alibaba - I had to laugh at 'Bloody Hell. DH can't see a problem' Typical bloke. Grin

But, you know he is right. I bet you look just fine. Not how you want to look but OK. If he is happy with your boobs they can't be flowing all over the place because most men wouldn't be happy if their wives were spilling forth.

Can you not even wear a strapless bra then? Maybe an all in one bra to bum thing? Whatever they are called - not good at the various types of underwear these days - last time I thought much about underwear French knickers were in fashion circa 1988. Blush

It is my graduation tomorrow - I have a dress but I look lumpy so I am also just about to go out and buy something to smooth everything a bit from M&S. Do they sell self-leveling concrete, do you think?

Hello Juicy - I think the summer hols have caused most of us some damage. Today is a new day and all that - we will be sleek by Christmas.

Have a good day everybody.

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 09/09/2011 10:29

Thanks ladies Grin I am feeling a bit more philosophical this morning, and I only have to wear the dratted thing for about 3 hours.
The dress has straps, but is very deep cleavage, and very low under the arms so even a strapless one can be seen. I suspect that none of this is a problem if you have smaller boobs.

Olive I will try some duct tape - where do you stick it?
