Help I've fallen off the wagon again
I just feel soo hungry these past couple of days, think it might be PMTish.
Bowl of pasta n pesto later and full tin of rice pudding it was the only sweet thing I could find in the cupboard and I feel sick :(

SparkySparrow · 13/02/2012 21:49

Its not too bad Flojo . I always relax a bit around PMT time. Otherwise I end up a more moody cow than usual

Just remember that it didn't make you feel as good as you wanted!

Hey everyone
[ checks out new home ]
Like the new thread :)

I've been very bad!
Ds still ill he's not ate for 3 days. Temp up and down. We've had nurses over to see him but they told me everything I already know. Taking him go tomorrow it's not fair on him. He's a right lil toddler who is always on the go but he's slept most of the day.

Hope everyone doing good

Thanks

signing in...

I've only lost a half so far this week, and I was SO good all weekend, plus I went to the Ski Dome last night and had a salad afterwards, despite there being lots of unhealthy food there and me being STARVING!!!!

Its going to take me longer to lose the last 3 pounds than the first 3/4 stone!!! Angry

Hope everyone else is doing ok, sorry to post and run, but I'm at work....

mrspepperpotty · 14/02/2012 13:59

Thanks Sparky for the shiny new thread and the recruitment drive! Also glad to hear that your new new scales are more accurate than the old new scales!

Hello new joiners Sparklingbrook and EnjoyResponsibly.

I have had a bad week so am very scared about this week's weigh in. BUT however bad it is, I am determined not to give up.

Flojo1979 · 14/02/2012 15:05

Hi, I was doing well, ate nothing til I got home from work and my mum (who's been looking after ds, half term) had kindly made my a cheese sandwich which I graciously ate. Bread.....and cheese bloody mothers! :)
Was saying myself for valentines meal later with new chappy. He taking me to a nice swish place in town. Got him a not to soppy card and box of choccies which I will bring home and eat myself if he's got me nothing

mummysfunny · 14/02/2012 15:18

Hello, May I join you please?I started with slimming world last week and I was 18st1lb :( I am due to be weighed again tonight and im really nervous. Id like to get down to 11/12 stone which is the weight i was pre accident ad pre baby.
Ijust got date through for next op- 24th march. I would like to be around the 16 stone mark for that. The way I see it is that the lighter I am the faster I will recover. (Its a knee op).

My DS wants to make cakes today and I will try to resist but its soo hard!

Fairenuff · 14/02/2012 16:37

Hello to Sparkling, Enjoy and mummysfunny and welcome to the thread Smile.

I think a lot of us will have to write today off as it's Valentines Day and we may be eating chocolates or drinking champagne. We will have to be extra good for the rest of the week Grin.

Personally, my dh won't give me chocs or alcohol as he knows I don't want them. He gave me roses instead Smile. Nothing is getting in the way of my diet this week. I really, really want to lose 1.5lb if I possibly could because that will be the first stone done. But I'm getting ahead of myself here . . .

Fazsaeed your poor little boy. Will they let him home if he's not eating. Has he been on a drip? Did they say what's wrong with him? Sorry for all the questions, hope he picks up soon x

Flojo enjoy your meal tonight, hope it goes well Smile

SparkySparrow · 14/02/2012 16:42

Flojo You know we will need details! Grin

Faz I hope your little one is better soon! Its so horrible when they are ill. :(

Welcome mummysfunny . You have a good incentive for losing weight. Health is always a big motivator! Good luck with your WI!

Ok day today. Porridge for breakfast, then practically ran to a friends house for a play date. Kids run fast Confused ! Did have a few biscuits round there Blush homemade and bloody delicious! . Dinner is chicken, veg and pasta. Not doing to bad, but dh surprised me this morning with a box of choccys. I now feel guilty for moaning!

It would be rude not to eat them, but I am going to re-start the shred tomorrow as punishment! Grin

Thanks for the welcome. It has become apparent that I won't be able to attempt to start until the children go back to school. Sad I will catch up with you all on Monday, and try to read the old thread in the meantime. Smile

Vicky08 · 14/02/2012 20:18

Hey all,

I don't come on here for a few days and I come back to a new thread and everything.

Have been reading through to see what I've missed.

Hi to the newcomers.

Faz I hope your DS gets better soon, my 2 have the flu at the moment and it's just horrible.

I feel off the wagon a bit at the weekend as usual but now back on again.

Flojo that's great about your new man, tell us more.

Today I've been really good but really want to eat something now, ahh need a distraction.

Vicky08 · 14/02/2012 20:19

Forgot to say, I've lost 2lb this week :)

Fairenuff · 14/02/2012 20:39

Well done Vicky that's fab Smile

mummysfunny · 14/02/2012 21:02

Hi again, iv lost 2lb this week :) I am being good from here on in as I am having my valentines evening out on friday, im soooo looking forward to pasta and chocolate pudding!
Im shattered, speak to you all soon :)

fazsaeed · 14/02/2012 21:22

Welcome mummysfunny.

Thanks guys.
Nope no drip
They not bothered that he's not eating.
He is hardly peeing.
But and it's a big but ( almost as big as mine Grin )
the apponitment for the consultant who specialises in digestive disorders ( ds got reflux) he will hopefully sort him out. Appointment is this thursday! That's what he calls urgent brilliant!
I actually found that consultants name on mn.
A few years ago someone had a child with bad reflux and in the end they got referred to ds consultant. I put the consultants name In google contacted him ( he does private too so it was his private practice details) told my doc who didn't agree but i got call from hosp referral line and taaaddaaa she referred us.

So yep thank you mn :)
Thanks

Thanks to everyone here Thanks
x

fazsaeed · 14/02/2012 21:23

Well done vicky and mummysfunny that's brilliant keep it up
[pat on the back]

SparkySparrow · 14/02/2012 22:21

Well done vicky and mummysfunny

Not having a great night food wise. Dh suprised me again and made me feel even more guilty with a nice bottle of wine, so much for the no more wine resolve!

So I figured I'd get it all out the way Grin . Wine is almost gone, have eaten a handful of chocolate's now feel abit sick , the rest of which I will let ds and his friends pick at tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a good night!

OP posts:
fazsaeed · 14/02/2012 22:32

Its one night. Don't worry :)
It's all gone now lol
You can't eat it tomorrow. So tomorrow has to be healthy.

SparkySparrow · 14/02/2012 22:43

well done vicky

mummysfunny what a great start, well done!

enjoyed my valentines day takeaway with sil, she is prettier and has better table manners than dh anyway - so probably a better date! Perhaps he will bring something back from his week away have you heard hell has frozen over?
