[Solo]

The Golden Rules that will aid you on your journey with our like minded support system:

1. Eat what you WANT
2. Eat when you are HUNGRY
3. Eat CONCIOUSLY
4. STOP when you are satisfied

I've C&P'd part 5's links as they are helpful.

Here is the book on AMAZON which is all you need to get started!

This is the tapping technique EXPLAINED - this can be useful for cravings.

Please feel free to join us. We are friendly, supportive and successful but we're not hungry!!! so come on in :)

Solo - how long have you had ME? Is that an excessively tired illness or am I getting that wrong? I also have done the punishing with food thing. I wasn't fed as a child so eat and say up yours to those that didn't feed me, but I am only hurting myself as they are not aware .

PA - I have been out this morning and had a successful shopping trip so that has made me feel better. Not to tired this morning which helps but I have a massive bruise on the back of my leg which really hurts and I have no idea what I have done, . My asthma seems to have calmed down too.

Hello GB - I have 2 kids who are lying about something so mall I* don't understand why they wont' tell the truth, so things are a bit [fed up] today but we are all going out soon so that will be good.

Ali I know! And I have always avoided anything to do with PM before as he annoyed me. Now I am in a situation where he has helped me with food issues I have had for 30 years and also helped me with getting over a long time ago relationship that nothing else has ever come close to doing. I am going to buy his books about being happier and getting over/coping with stress (not sure which) too.

FAB So OMG - that's dreadful.

And I also avoided PM because he'd annoyed me in the past. Anyway, water under the bridge.

FAB :) I've had ME for 12 years now. It's a lot of different things in one, but chronic fatigue is a big part of it.

It's crazy isn't it? the punishing yourself...I have no idea why I do it, but I do...I wasn't starved as a child ~ far from it but we were quite poor and went without other (unimportant) things. Mum and Dad always put us first though and Mum always fed us well.

I have heard that food/eating issues are about control. I had a friend who was thin and ate very little and it was about having some control when she hadn't had any through a traumatic time as a child. I am starting to wonder if mine is about control too though I am not thin but do have, did have??, food issues. Why do you think you do it Solo?

Because I don't want to be fat anymore . I don't know. I've never been big, but thought I was. My exh1 told me I was fat, that my arse was fat, that no one would ever want me. I believed him of course. Even though I was a size 8/10 :( . So it could be linked to that.
I've never been bigger than a size 14 before now, and went up to a size 18 and am now about a 14/15. I want to be a 12/13.

Am I misunderstanding you, Solo, that you over eat because you don't want to be fat?

My first love told me I had fat calves (they are very unshapely) and for years I never wore a dress or a skirt. Now I will but they are long and I would only wear a knee length skirt if not going out anywhere.

It makes no sense does it? it's like I'm thumbing my nose at him

I don't really understand it. I eat knowing that it will adversely affect my body, but I can't stop myself from doing it. He has made my life hell. He's dead and he's still making my life hell.

Hopefully listening to the cd will help you.

I have just had a message that has devastated me and now I am torn between getting pissed, hurting myself and driving 4 hours to be with my best mate.

Do you need an ear FAB?

And don't hurt yourself, that wont help anyone :( nor will drinking too much.

Solo, can I PM you please?

Course you can FAB.

Thank you.

(((((hugs)))) FAB

My you look have posted loads today. I think there was as much to read through just from today as there was for all of week I was away.

Graduation over. It was soooo hot though. We were standing in the queue for the offical photos and I could feel the sweat running down my back. Thankfully I had the gown thing on so it I had damp patches nobody knew I was not alone though.

And then we were all crammed in like sardines in the hall. I should be at least 1/2 stone lighter tomorrow!!

I had a real wardrobe crisis this morning. Couldn't decide what to wear as the shoes I bought yesterday which felt fine in the shop were killing me just walking around the house. The shoes were to go with the dress so I couldn't decide whether to still wear that or put on a skirt and blouse. Blouse was tight but I am not sure it wasn't meant to be.

Anyway, choice of an 18 and 20 dress. The 18 dress fitted perfectly. No tight bits comfortable but in the end I plumped for the 20 which is also . I don't know, it just draped better - I like the sensation of bagginess!! I shall send the 18 back but I hope I don't live to regret picking the 20 if I shrink and don't get much wear out of it.

Oh and the expensive magic knickers weren't quite as magic as hoped - the self levelling concrete might have been better at smoothing out the lumps and bumps. I am might glad to get the damn things off too and let it all hang out.

FAB I hope you are OK.

Alibaba - Hope you had a good day. Looks like you had need of the pashmina if you were outside. It hasn't bee the best of weather has it?

Thanks Niecie, I will be as I have to be. My best mate has told me not to do anything daft.

Niecie I hope your graduation was good

Fab - you ok?

We have had a brilliant day. The dress was fine in the end - I used some tape and then sewed myself into it so that not so much cleavage was out and it actually looked really good. Boys were amazing, and even slept half the evening so DH and I got to have a dance and a drink together

Hi, I am okay. Had a range of emotions last night and today but with the support of MN friends and RL ones I am doing okay.

How is everyone? I still get a shock when I realise I can feel that I am full and it is okay to stop eating. I need to scroll back through this thread to see when I came back as I have to wait 2 weeks to weigh myself and I think it has only been one.

Glad you are feeling a bit better Fab, how are you doing now?

Ali, I bet you looked stunning! @ you sewing yourself in!

Ive had a bit of a drunken weekend, which led to eating a plateful of buffet food when I was probably not hungry. Hard to tell, as I was quite squiffy! Ach well, it's done, I enjoyed myself and doing brilliant again today.

Hope you all had a fab weekend xxx

Just had a small blip but it doesn' tmatter, does it, I don't have to let it become a big blip? (I am talking emotions not food).

Not hungry at the moment so not having any tea.

Fab - no you don't have to let it become a big blip :)

I am so tired today. I've eaten to try and fuel myself through the tiredness, probably more than I needed but it will balance itself out tomorrow if I have eaten too much.

I am feeling so positive after the success of the dress :) I set myself a goal of losing half a stone before this wedding, and actually I lost 9lbs. It is the first time in my life that I've said 'I want to lose X by this date', and then actually done it! And it feels amazing!

Onwards and downwards. I am 13st 9lbs now, and I want to be as close to 13st as possible for my holiday, which is in 5 weeks. Realistically I think I can lose 4lbs if I really Paul successfully.

I am worried about how I will feel if I haven't lost anything when I weigh myself and what I will do about it. I am walking the kids to school as much as possible and of course I have to walk back so that all counts but I don't know that I feel it is losing me anything.

Thursday is weighing in day .

YAY Alibaba - so glad the dress was fab after all, bet you looked gorgeous.

Niecie - what are you graduating from and with what? Congratulations on the graduation

FAB - keep the faith, the scales will be fine!

Howtolookgoos - buffet food is the work of the devil and the ultimate test for pauling - if you were a bit squiffy you cannot be held accountable! I had the same test last weekend and as I ate my second pudding I was thinking perhaps I should start listening to my stomach, I thought it and then carried on scoffing

Hello, Hope everybody has had a good weekend.

I had a little weigh in this morning and seem to be heading in the right direction so that makes a pleasant change after the summer holidays. It isn't a massive loss but that doesn't matter - it was only 9 days anyway. I am getting back in the swing of things again although it could have been mainly sweat after my weekend!!

I have probably lost another few pounds today as we had DS2's birthday party this morning. Never again!!!!! He hasn't often wanted a party and DS1 had a few when he was younger so I thought we ought to make an effort when he said he wanted a football party at the sports centre. They give you the room, a ball and bibs and basically leave you to get on with it. It got off to a flying start with DS2 kicking the ball into another boys face. He hurt his nose and wanted his mum so I had to call her back. After that it was accidental kicking and falling over injuries with one little lad saying he didn't feel very well (he'd been off school on Friday) and wanted his dad who had made a big thing of saying he didn't have a mobile so we couldn't contact him. Thankfully he came back early, knowing his son wasn't 100%. Then it was food time and one of the boys went a bit barmy and wouldn't sit down, tried to start a food fight and generally was a pain the arse. I could have done with an afternoon in a darkened room after that. But it is over for the year. Well, apart from his actual birthday but that should be easy in comparison!

And now it is the end of the weekend.

Giganticus - I did an MSc in psychology with the OU.

FAB - how are things with you this evening?

Alibaba - glad there were no wardrobe disasters and all was well yesterday. How great is that to exceed your goal too! You must have felt good in the end. And even if you didn't you deserved too.

New week ahead - hope it is a good one for us all.
