Thread 10 already for the Paul McKenna's Paulettes, losing lbs with No Pain! No Pain!! and Definitely No Calories, No Syns, No Humiliation. Come and Join In To Lose Weight With Supportive Friends!

[Solo]

Welcome to thread 10 of the Paul McKenna's I Can Make You Thin weight loss system.

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

1. Eat what you WANT
2. Eat when you are HUNGRY
3. Eat CONSCIOUSLY
4. STOP eating when you are satisfied and full

This weight loss system is about re-educating your body; learning to listen to it and in doing so losing weight and inches. So forget diets; they may work for a while, but they aren't permanent solutions. This is a new way of living for your brand new life!!

The Paul McKenna system really works and is easy to maintain.

I've C&P'd our previous threads links as they are helpful.

Here are the book choices on AMAZON which is all you need to get started! they aren't compulsory, but they do help! it's something to refer to and listening to the cd's can really focus you.

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

You don't have to buy the book and CD, but we have found that they do help and somehow they keep you on track, so it would probably be a good investment and will cost you far less than a couple of trips to WW or SW meetings, so do consider having them in your life.

Please feel free to join us, whether it's 10lbs or 10 stones you want to lose.
We are friendly, supportive and successful, but we're not hungry OH NO we're not!!! so come on in and start living your new life today!

Ali :( it's weird, but I never miss the Dc's when they aren't about . I think it's because I returned to work when Ds was just 4 months old and at 18 months when I'd stopped bfing him, he often stayed for up to three days and nights with Mum and Dad whilst I just dealt with work. Not sure how I'll be when I go back to work in January though...Dd will be 6yo and I've always been at home with her...she has only had a couple of nights away from me since birth. Not sure how she'll cope either. Atm, she is sleeping in with me whilst I try to sort out changing the bedrooms over and every morning she wakes up with a 'Good morning Mummy!' and it's lovely :)
Db, won't help Mum financially, despite the fact that he is in debt to her! I doubt she'll get it back now! the debts are over 20 years old. He doesn't have a conscience in the same way I do . He doesn't even visit her much.

Mardy how was lunch?

Hello people how's everyone's Pauling going?

not going well today, but Ive been out most of the day which included lunch. Im not having a huge tea though, just nibbling. Im too tired and feel bloated to eat anything properly. I find it a lot easier if Im just doing the normal daily routine. So tomorrow and onwards will be better.

I've been hit and miss. I have really missed DS1, really missed him. This is the longest I've been away from him since he was born!

Solo that is about your DB, families can be such a pain at times.

Might listen to the CD in bed tonight, depends what time I get there!

I'm trying but want to emotional eat (see other thread). I did manage a 6k walk last night but have caved to chocolate today. Must stop weighing myself - I've started daily weighing since I got home. Good news is scales are going back in the right direction.

Have I daily weigh myself too, although for me I think the batteries are going which is good. Im going the right direction too.

I really should get onto that thread.

Hello ladies.

Hope you are all OK

Ali - you get your DS back today don't you? Enjoy!

Solo - I think brothers who have sisters rely on them to take care of their parents. It's women's work or something old fashioned like that. I am hoping that having 2 boys at least one of them with take on the 'girl' role and look after me in my dotage but I don't think I can count on it!

Eating was a bit weird for me yesterday. We went up to London, the boys and DH to watch the Olympic footie at Wembley and me to visit a friend who lives 15 minutes further on from there (45mins if you got lost like I did although I did see Giles Coren walking down the road so not all bad - a bit of celeb spotting is always good). We were going to have lunch together at Brent Cross but when we got there there wasn't actuall much choice so we ended up in Burger King. (Managed to keep the boys out of BK and McD's for the first 11 yrs of DS1's life and now we've been 3 times in 6 mths). Had a slice of malt loaf and a cup of tea with friend and then went to collect the boys at what would normally be tea time. Got home at 10pm and wasn't really very hungry but thought I ought to eat given how little I had had so I had some toast with lemon curd and a bit of cake. So, not at all nurtrious but also not very much all in all. Not sure what sort of day to call it really!

Back to normal today although we are going away for a week on Friday so heavens knows what kind of cake eating frenzy that will induce. Going to stay near the in-laws - FIL can't walk far so all trips revolve around coffee shops and toilets. Cake is a constant temptation.

Re the frequent weighing I have said before on these threads I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. I think it depends on whether seeing your progress or lack of it is demotivating or not. For me it is and I actively avoid the scales when things are going badly so avoiding them in not a good thing. It also takes a lot of weight change for me to notice a difference so I can't rely on that. Besides, for me, if my clothes start feeling tight it is already too late. I have made a big gain. Far better to see the weight creeping up and nip it in the bud than allow it to get to the point where it shows. Some nutritionists would agree that frequent weighing is good too.

But I know that not everybody agrees with that, PMcK included and ppeat on here.

You have to do what works for you so long as it is for the right reasons. Obsessing about it would be the wrong reason but just to know where you are at, that seems OK to me. You have to be honest with yourself about your movtivation though, don't you? Not always easy.

It seems that you're all doing well, me as well I'm trying to influence DM so can't start picking when I'm not hungry can I? It looks like she's loosing as well so it's working! ref. the weighing I do my own thing with the eating; others with the weighing all to their own eh!

Hi all. just to let you know i'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure if I'll have a wifi connection where I'm going so if you don't hear from me, I haven't fallen off the planet/wagon. Hope to stick to a nice mediterranean diet and not hit the booze too much!

Have a lovely holyer mardy

Thanks pp. Paul will be coming with me on my phone. I might even get time to listen to him for once.

Enjoy your holiday Mardy. If you are anything like me you are possibly more active on holiday than at home, simply because you aren't stuck at a desk so that helps with the temptation to eat.

You sound like you are going somewhere infinity more exciting than N Wales (and Anfield football ground - what have I let myself in for there) so bring us back some sunshine as I shall probably be needing it by then.

Mardy have a lovely time!

I've done ok today.

DS1 is home I so missed his little smiling face, I had to go and have a sneaky sob in the kitchen once he was back!

Don't worry about sobbing Ali, blame it on the Olympics if it helps - I have spent too much of the last 10 days welling up about people I don't even know! Compared to that you are totally normal and not in the least soppy!

Besides, give it another few years and you'll be glad to see the back of them! Briefly of course but glad all the same.

I don't know if it is a good thing or not but I never had anybody to give my two away to nobody would have them. PIL live too far away for a sleep over and the boys won't/can't stay with my mum because of my dad (see other thread). DS2 has never spent a night away from me. DS1 has done 2 school trips and I had the teachers phoning me the second time saying how upset he was (very useful when we were both snowed in - Jan is such a stupid month for a residential trip - just as well I didn't really fret). I must admit I felt more sorry for the teachers than DS once I found out he was eating and sleeping and having fun when he was busy.

Enjoy your DS being home.

Room for another?
