Thanks for that. I am going to measure myself first to see what I am. I am mega stressed today so don't think I am in the mood for shopping.

Why do you want to look good for dd's father? Do you want him back or do you want to show him what he is missing? Grin

In a bit I am going on the Wii. I hope that some exercise will work off my stress.

Actually I am thinking about taking a break from MN.

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 09:42

Nooooo, don't want him back, just want to be as good as possible...can't really explain it. It's not about him seeing what he's missing, more that I don't want him to think 'yuk, why did I go there ' iyswim? last time I saw him, I was over 15st...he left me for a huge woman btw.

Hope you feel better FAB.

TheOriginalFAB · 17/09/2011 10:07

I hope you manage to achieve what you want.

I have just done 30 something minutes on the wii, had 2 oranges for breakfast and will be taking time for me today. The kids were going to my PIL but they wouldn't tell the truth about something so they are not going. Really annoyed as feel like I never see DH any more.

I am really thinking about leaving MN as the posts on my thread yesterday made me feel bullied tbh. Posters just weren't accepting what I was saying as being the truth.

NiecieTheTerminator · 17/09/2011 11:10

FAB don't go. Well don't leave us anyway!!!! Smile

FWIW I can understand why you aren't happy - I thought they went too far yesterday. One of them could have made the point and left it but they kept on. Not only that but I don't think their thoughts were relevant given that this is on-going. If it had been a one-off it might be that you or your DS had misinterpreted the behaviour but not repeatedly, that is just stupid. So take no notice of them. They were a bunch of silly newbies anyway - I didn't recognise any of them. Sorry they left you stressed though.

Did you hide the thread? I might go and give them a piece of my mind if you did.

How is your DS today? Breaks your heart when they are unhappy doesn't it? Thats how I ended up in the lions den this week at DS1's school. I know it is a bit bleurgh but it does bring out the 'inner tigeress', doesn't it, but I keep going over it in my head too!! Sad The Wii sounds like a great idea - possibly the boxing if you have it.

Can't help with the bra though.Grin

Give me a little while and I might find the great website I found for measuring and signs for non-fitting bras.

TheOriginalFAB · 17/09/2011 11:21

Niecie - I did hide the thread and I said I was going too.

TBH I spend too much time on here and get far too upset when anyone attacks me. Maybe I will just post on this thread.

I did go on the wii. I did some hula hooping, stepping and jogging.

DS is okay this morning. I am fed up as we have stopped them going to the PIL as one was lying and wouldn't own up. So no lunch out for DH and I or time alone together.

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 11:27

FAB Shock which thread?! you can't go! just ignore the idiots unimportant people.
2 oranges for breakfast? does that count as a meal? are you eating enough? you have to eat enough or the weight wont budge IME.

Niecie yes to 'This is what you're missing mate, but you can't have it any more' :) but I don't have anything in the wardrobe that fits the bill (or me). Don't even know how much time I have til he's here and I've got a tip of a house to sort before he does!!! arghhhh!

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 11:28

Oh yeah...can you still call me Solo please. I can't get used to Horse or WHK etc... Grin

NiecieTheTerminator · 17/09/2011 11:38

I keep wanting to call you Solo so that is fine by me. You'll always be Solo to me. Grin

It's this thread. Don't look FAB!Smile

TheOriginalFAB · 17/09/2011 12:16

I won't. I feel stupid at letting strangers upset me but if you are willing to let strangers support you I guess you have to take it from both angles. Just had some cheese on toast that DH made me. It was yummy. Getting another migraine though [fed up.]

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 12:17

Hmm I agreed with the last poster. Bullying is how it feels to the individual at the time.

Bullying is crap. I was bullied, my Ds was and is bullied still. I thought he'd get less of it at grammar school, but he doesn't really; it's just different.
FAB seriously, don't worry about them on that thread.

TheOriginalFAB · 17/09/2011 12:29

Thank you.

If your father/husband was swung round by his tie, pushed to the ground and kicked it would be assault. Why is it not when it is a child? I know some people on here really don't like me and have the wrong opinion about me but my child is being hurt and I am heartbroken over it.

ppeatfruit · 17/09/2011 13:46

Wow brilliant Ali!!Don't worry about the blip you can get back on the wagon no trouble Smile

Hello solo Smile Yeah why do you want to good for him? it doesn't sound like he's worth a lot of trouble if you look too good would he not bug you too much?!

Munchkins i have lost 2 stone and maintaining if not loosing more (my feet have shrunk a half size!!) without shreds; unless you really love the shred you can do pilates, dance and or power walk and still loose weight!! P.M. says "No pain NO PAIN!!!"

Juicy What really got me going was doing the 'chew 20 times" rule that and eating with yr eyes closed gets the conscious eating started well. I remember you and yr problem avec Paul but damn him he does have the answer to weight loss and like Solo I fancy him!!! Grin.

ppeatfruit · 17/09/2011 14:06

fab and Niecie i'm sorry i didn't read this page when i posted the above . It is really heartbreaking when yr. child is being bullied and you both have my full sympathy i don't know what your circs. are but I took my DCs out of the schools where they were being bullied by the teacher or other kids (especially if it is was not being dealt with properly by the school) and I home schooled them until a better school could be found or in our DS's case he had a tutor (he was expelled from a private school at age 13 and there were no local schools with spaces) BTW he is now 23 and teaching L.Os yoga and is a musician he has no school exams but is fulfilled and happy IMO exams are not the be all and end all . As a teacher and most recently a supply i know well that there is nothing like an ideal school IMO it's an unnatural place anyway.

Can you tell I'm a rebel?Smile.

ppeatfruit · 17/09/2011 14:11

Also Fab there are some mean posters on other threads but the majority are okay esp. on here!! Smile (my philosophy is don't give those SXXXS the power to upset you).

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 14:44

pp back offff!!! he's mine! Grin

No, I don't want to look good for ex, I just don't want to look awful...

ppeatfruit · 17/09/2011 15:51

Okay i won't challenge you to guns at dawn Solo I'm taken so he's yours!!! Smile.Sad

From yr. photos you don't look awful at all; remember the P.M. motto' love yourself'.

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 15:55

:)

GiganticusBottomus · 17/09/2011 16:14

TBH fab I do think some people on that thread were making some fair points (i should, in the spirit of full disclosure mention I am a teacher) but I know it is impossible not to take things to heart when your child is involved. I do think it might be a good time for you to take a step back from mumsnet in general (not this thread necessarily where everyone is lovely of course) but if you post on an emotive topic and replies that aren't entirely supportive are upsetting you then mumsnet may not be the right place for you atm. Life is too short to let online strangers cause you distress, it really is Sad
You are obviously having a tough time at the moment, do you have some RL friends who might be more sympathetic (and provide cake...to be eaten consciously of course Wink)?

I haven't lost any weight this week which I am a bit peeved about, it's hard not to react to that by being stricter about what I eat but then there is always the trap of not eating enough. I am still struggling to get out of the diet mentality Anyway, onwards and upwards Smile

TheOriginalFAB · 17/09/2011 16:19

I accept that it might be fair to ask if it is possible my child has made it up/over reacted/etc but to keep on labouring the point and bringing up other threads is just unkind.

I know my child and unfortunately he has the bruises to prove what he said happened, has.

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 16:50

I do hope you have taken photographs FAB.

My Ds suffered stabbings with a compass and I took photos of them. I was fobbed off with being told it was a protractor, not a compass...it has never been resolved unfortunately and is well over a year ago now :( some teachers, hoys are useless at doing what they say they will and picking up the phone to you...I think they thought if they left it long enough, I'd just forget about it.

TheOriginalFAB · 17/09/2011 17:02

This time they won't be allowed to do nothing as I have already phoned the police and I will be ringing them again if they do nothing.

WhoresHairKnickers · 17/09/2011 21:33

I wish I'd called the police too tbh as it's now too late to do so.

ppeatfruit · 18/09/2011 09:20

Actually *SOLO it's not too late esp. if you've got evidence (remember they still prosecute crimes from 10 or so years ago) i'd give the police a ring and have a chat about it or see Citizens Advice, Morning BTW Smile.

TheOriginalFAB · 18/09/2011 09:31

Hi everyone. I am so dreading this week. I am scared about what is going to happen if and when we see the deputy head and worried sick that ds1 will be hurt again. I also have stuff of my own happening this week and worrying about that too. I just don't think I can cope.

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 18/09/2011 18:51

Hi everyoneSmile

We've been away seeing my grandma this weekend. I've eaten too much, and ignored the rules too often. I must listen to the CD tonight and get back in the swing.

I have finally persuaded DH to give this a go with me. He is a huge emotional eater and eats far too quickly (a hangover from boarding school he maintains).
I am really hoping this works for him as he needs to lose 3 stone and is pretty unhappy about the way he looks.
