neverput Ref. mindful eating; I really cracked it when I started chewing each mouthful 15 to 20 times and or eating with your eyes closed.

pp it was shiney..

Hello. Happy Sunday everyone :)

FAB I'm glad that everything is going well now :) that's great news! Now at least, it feels like you should be able to move on from 'all the crap' and live a normal life (lucky ol' you! )...

So! back to the thread at hand!!

I'm just not doin' well! arghhhhhh!!!!!!

Thank you solo. One thing at a time .

What is up? Why are you not doing well?

Dunno. Bit down atm, but I'll live.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better now.

solo are you doing the stretches and brill tummy ex. to get in shape for yr return to work? Morning BTW

Oh I'm fine; no good moaning to everyone...I'd just take up too many pages with all my troubles :( but I just have to get on with it :)

pp no I'm not , I'm not doing much at all really...I am hoping to take the last year out though (fingers crossed), so that will take some pressure off. I wish I knew where this year has gone

Evening everyone!

Well, something has clicked! I am feeling really positive. The past couple of days, since Sunday really, I think I may have got it!

Took DD (4) to a party on Sunday and didn't eat any of the bits because I wasn't hungry!
Monday at work I didn't pick in the biscuit tin as I normally do, I did have a biscuit at break but I really enjoyed it and it didn't leave me craving more!
Today I have again avoided the biscuit tin and when I got back from work today I was hungry. I had a drink but I was still feeeling growly tummied so I pondered, had a packet of those wholegrain crisp things, really ate them slowly and then left the kitchen!
I have alse been out for a training walk as I'm doing 2 Moonwalks next year and I cracked the 35 minute barrier for 2 miles.

I feel ace! I am listening to Paul everynight when I go to bed, it's the only time I get a spare, uninterrupted 30 mins!

Does anyone else have any of the other cds? Are they any good? Worth the investment?
Hope everyone is well!

Oh sock well done! I think that is what I need to do with the CD, it just isn't happening at the moment.
I picked up the other CDs cheaply on ebay and they are good, but the one that comes with the book is the best IMO.

Nice one never, I have fallen off the wagon spectacularly and only been pming a week, but after reading your fab post I'm going to start back again tomorrow. I must crack this, I felt so good last week and want to feel like that again.

Well done never :) I'm the same as Ali atm :( must listen to the discs.

VJ that's a great sign for you; the desire to have that great feeling again :)

Gah, so late again!

Been having a massive tidy up in the house and it looks sooo much better. My new cleaner starts tomorrow - hence the tidying! I am a bit , but I just can't keep up with it atm and living in a dusty house makes me poorly (asthma). I'm hoping it will give me more time to spend on cooking and planning food properly as things are a bit hit and miss here some days what with DS2 and his non-sleeping.

I must go to bed, I am going to listen to the CD. Suddenly realised that it is bloody daft to be trying to do a weight loss program based on NLP, and not actually doing the NLP part. No wonder it isn't working for me atm.
Sometimes I wonder about myself, I am sure I used to be quite clever somewhere in the dim and distant past

VJ - yes I want it too. I was feeling brilliant a couple of months ago, really in the zone and I want that back again. I know that I will be hugely disappointed in myself if I can't shift half a stone at least before Christmas.

Well done never! .

Solo - I hope you are feeling better now.

Ali - yes, you need to look after your house so you can look after yourself says the one with a streaming cold and no jumper on

VJ - good kuck for today.

I have to see the GP this morning for a weigh in. According to my scales I have lost something but I can't remember what I was so it might be 3lbs or it might be 1. Either way the GP's scales had me as heavier than mky home ones so he might tell me off. If I haven't lost anything he is putting me on slimming tablets. I have stopped taking one lot of meds so I am hoping that will help.

Good luck to you for today fab.

Ali I would like half a stone gone by Christmas too. I've had a glass of water do far and will go from there. Will try and get the cd onto my iPod today as well.

COME ON NOW ALL OF YOU!!!!!! YOU KNOW IT CAN BE DONE ,IT'S EASY!! FFS!!! (just adminstering a needed kick up yr collective backsides )

Not to you sock Congrats

I have lost 2.2lbs but the GP's scales have me 6lbs heavier than my home ones. I have to go back in a month.

Thanks for the boot up the bum . I have just got back from the docs and have suspected gallstones so I'm now on a fat free diet, not sure where to start with it or how it fits in with pming, any ideas?

Well done!! original.

VJ I'm on the Blood type type for my health you could check that out IMO everything fits in with P.Ming I have a lost an extra half stone to add to my original 2 using the Blood type and P.M. !!

Fab well done, you will get there. :)

VJ - you need to develop and insatiable hankering for vegetables Seriously though, hope you are ok. Do gallstones go away?

I am feeling better about all this today, I must say that sock your post was inspiring.
I was so tempted to not cook this evening and get takeaway (not for the DS's obviously!), but galvanised myself and we had a lovely meal. It bugs me that I find it so hard to cook for us all. I do do it most days, but it is such a chore and that annoys me because I love cooking really. Or rather I used to love it, when I could go and spend 45 minutes in the kitchen and make something delicious and quick rather than having to start cooking at lunchtime to have any chance of getting it sorted out!
Ho hum, I suppose it will get easier and more fun again as the boys get older.

I bought a dress today that I might wear to my brother's wedding in February. I tried the 18 on first, and it was too big so I got the 16! I was like this in the changing room!

Ali that is fab about the dress

I don't know what will happen if it's gallstones, I've got a blood test first to investigate and will go from there, in the meantime I have to go on the fat free diet.

VJ did you by any chance do the lighter life diet?

Morning all why Solo is the lighter life known for causing gallstones?

pp - I think the sudden loss of weight + malnutrition and really screw things up, which isn't really that surprising!

Doing ok here this morning, although DH went to Sainsbury's for milk and came back with danish. Argh.
