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 :)

We have the details and couldn't have done anything any sooner as we only found out on Friday afternoon and then we were hoping to see the DHead at 9. Please don't make me feel like we haven't done anything as we are reeling at the moment and a lot of our time has been sent looking at schools, writing letters and talking to our son.

Gig - he is just 3, and will be just 4 when he starts reception next year. They told me not to worry, I asked about socialising and they said he was doing well, making some friends this term etc, that he is v.bright and particularly good at anything to do with numbers.

Do you think it is a bad sign that they want to observe him? Perhaps you could P.M me? I don't want to clog up the thread with this :)

Fab- I am not trying to make you feel like you haven't done anything it's just you haven't done the most effective thing and that is what is frustrating me. Myself and other experienced posters are just trying to help by telling you what THE best way to help your son is and you aren't doing it. I'm really not trying to make you feel bad, I'm just bewildered as to why you aren't taking good advice, that's all.

TBH I think you might be better purely posting a thread about your ds's problems in school and how to handle them as I feel we are slightly derailing this Paul McK thread talking about it - me as much as you

We are trying to help our son by going into school as we don't want to move him if we can help it. The letters will be going tomorrow. We will see the DHead on Wednesday and if DS is hurt again we will take him out while the LEA do their stuff.

I am sure you saw what happened last time I tried in primary school so won't be going there again. I have learnt over the years not to post about my struggles with me coping with my DC and had stopped postins as much, but had to in this case as I was really stuck. DH and I feel crap, heartbroken, helpless and angry but we are trying our best.

FAB - This kind of thing makes your head spin doesn't it? I had similar reaction last week with my DS1 and his new school and even though it is supposedly sorted I am still going over it in my head. It is hard because it matters so much. I can't imagine what it would be like to have my DS actually under physical threat though.

Nothing useful to add. Just sympathising. Your DS is lucky to have you fighting his corner.

Alibaba - If the only thing your DS isn't coping with is big groups, it seems to be a bit of an over-reaction to have a SENCO looking at him. He is a little boy who is getting used to being with a large group of other children - they don't all take to like ducks to water. They could have said the same about my DS2 when he first started nursery but he got used to it. He is supposed to be the NT one of my two by the way. Hope they are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

But apart from the trials and tribulations of being a parent how are we all faring with our food today? I had passionfruit cheesecake for tea (chicken potato and green beans first) but I don't feel bad, it was delicious and I am not not full. It will only go all wrong if I start grazing but so far so good.

I am just worried about my son. They have already told him that there will be noone to tell at secondary school. If we do move him, and even if we don't, at secondary he will have to go to a less good school to get away from these kids. DH thinks why should we sacrifice his education to get away from them? I am thinking his safety and his weld esteem is more important than an education.

The DHead doesn't even care that we have called the police.

Fab - who are the 'they' who have told him there will be no-one to tell at secondary? I am astonished that a school are taking such a cavalier attitude towards bullying.

Niecie - I hope they are making a mountain, but if they are not then we will deal with it. They did make a point of telling me that he is coming on socially, which is good news.
Sounds like you have done well today food-wise :)

I've done badly on the food front today. I'm tired, didn't having time for breakfast before music group and so I then shoved in a slice of cake before I took DS1 to playgroup. I've then eaten far too much this afternoon and this evening in an attempt to calm the rising anxiousness about DS1!
DH is just trying to settle DS2 to sleep now, and then I'll be off to bed and hope for a better day tomorrow.

Mmmmm, cheesecake, yum!

I've had an emotional eating food day today so not good. I'm putting it behind me though and I'm going to have a good week this week. Oh yes I will. Definitely listening to Paul tonight, I need a bit of hypnotic induction

Aaah, Ali I feel your emotional eating pain. Stay strong, tomorrow we will be back in control

I have come to the conclusion that we would all be slim if it were not for children.

Is that why I am 5 times fatter - 5 DC's, Niecie?

I was doing ok yesterday until the evening. Absolutely knackered + glass of wine = munchies.
THe thing is, I no longer enjoy what I munched on and not because I feel guilty, but just in a "couldn't care for that piece of chocolate cake" kind of way. Huge brain shift!!

Today is a new day! Come on ladies, lets all have a good day. No emotional eating, we dont need it!

Ali - it is the bullies who have told him there will be no one to tell at secondary school.

OriginalfabIt sounds like the school will be left with just bullies if all the 'nice' families remove their DCs!! somehow i don't think they'll want that. Great to have a good education in bullying!!

I'd remove my DS until it's sorted one way or the other TBH.

Anyhow how are solo juicy cheerfulyank and munchkins getting on with paul mckenna?

ppeatfruit - the deputy head has made it quite clear he isn't bothered if we remove our children.

Morning ladies

I listened to the CD last night, and this morning I feel totally full and literally can't eat anything!

No emotional eating for me today, although I will admit to being nervous about DS1 going to preschool. I can't be like that all term though, so I need to get a grip.

But PA, you aren't 5x fatter any more are you?!

I wonder, if they hit 18 you just don't worry about them as much so therefore less emotional eating?

Alibaba - I reckon if there were cause for concern with your DS you would have noticed first. I know I had my doubts about DS from very early on and he is a mild case of whatever he really has (debateable diagnosis).

The way I used to think about it, when it was getting scary, is that DS hadn't changed, he was still my lovely boy and labels were irrelevant to that that. He is who he is, regardless of what other people say about him and our relationship doesn't change.......except maybe for the inner tigeress bit being a bit more fierce from time to time but that is for other people to be scared about.

Have a good day everybody.

Oh, looks like this thread has moved on alot.

I just wanted to pop in to say that I'm still Pauling it's just that I am not on MN as much as very busy with RL stuff (all good). I'm running now and trying to finish writing a novel on top of everyday stuff. I'm still following the PMcK rules - I'm finding them so natural now. I haven't weighed myself in a long while but I'm still losing weight as I can tell from my shape in the mirror, my clothes and other people telling me. Running is helping me tone up loads too and boost my metabolism.

This is the best "diet" ever! It feels so natural.

Hi Bossh .

My other son was hit at school this morning .

I am making a cake for the kids that we have renamed Cheer Up Cake. I feel we all need a treat.

Bssh!! well done.

FAB :(

Niecie I can honestly say I have worried more about my Dcs as they have got older than I did when they were younger. When they are younger you have more influence and more say in what they can and cannot do, who they can and cannot see etc.
Now mine are between 14 and 20. The older ones I feel I have had to "let go" and just hope that 17+ years of life with me has taught them how to be, but it is very much a case of "hope for the best and pick up the pieces when it goes wrong". Very difficult for a control freak like me!!

Waves to Bssh

Bssh - well done! That is what I aspire to, getting on with my life and just losing weight gradually in the background.

Fab - surely you will speak to the Head now? When are the police coming to take a statement from your eldest?

Solo - you are very quiet, you ok?

Niecie - well I like to think I would have noticed something was wrong! Without wanting to sound boastful, he is very academically able (which preschool told us last term) and I do wonder if some of it is boredom. I must try to do more reading etc with him at home and see if that helps.

DS2 rolled off my bed this morning, so all in all I've awarded myself a shit mother sticker today

No eating though. Good.

Hi all
thanks for the name check pp. Haven't been adding much to the thread, as I'm not sure I can add much to FAB's predicament. Hope it gets sorted.

Still struggling with the eating slowly thing (but getting there), but I'm definitely not eating unless hungry, which is a positive. Just listened to the CD and I'm about to go out to lunch with a friend. I am quite hungry - about a 4, so looking forward to it!
I just need to lay off the too at weekends.

Alibaba - x post. Don't worry - we've all been there with the rolling off the bed thing, I'm sure. Hope DS is OK.

Bssh !! good to hear from you it sounds like you've got it sussed now that's how i feel too. My ds said 'don't loose too much weight mum"!!! and now i'm not trying, it's just sort of happening.

COME ON EVERYONE YOU CAN DO IT TOO DON'T LET THE OTHER STUFF GET YOU DOWN!!
