We've nearly grown out of the last thread here so i started the new one.

We're all doing different things but we're all here to support each other on the journey. We kick each other when we need it and offer sympathy when that's more appropriate.

tiggy114 · 11/10/2012 20:22

I'm gonna moan on here so i don't have to go eat chocolate. I plan and teach lessons to my homeschooled aspie son, i take care of a toddler and am trying to do a degree level short course. On top of that my oh doesn't come home till 7 at night. They all dump their stuff everywhere and won't help with the housework or washing. Our house is a TIP! OH isn't chauvanistic he's just lazy and doesn't see the mess. Arghhhhhhh. Rant over. Feel slightly better.

Hi all.
Had an ok day today. Had pub lunch of ham egg and chips with boyf. I could onlyeat about half of it! Normally would have scoffed the lot. Progress of sorts Smile.
Also the jumper I have on today feels loose and baggy.
Next step will be to buy or try on some size 18 jeans!

Goonatic · 11/10/2012 22:12

Go for it tort!!!!!!

TheHumancatapult · 11/10/2012 22:20

TheHumancatapult · 12/10/2012 06:23

Struggling already ds3 has hospital appointment today and am bag of nerves craving chocolate within 3 weeks we gone Fron local paed to local cardio for tests ( including wearing heart monitor ) then we got bounced straight to Brompton for urgent appointment one that I tried to cancel but told not to it's important we make it ( my dad died of a heart condition that was unknown about but can run in familes )

So not slept then also dd school disco tonight to which I'm helping at so in running on empty already

Youcanringmybell · 12/10/2012 06:51

Human - I hope your ds is ok?? do what you have to do to get through it. Your sanity is more important to you and your ds. Some chocolate is not the end of the world if you get back to it when you can.

Tortoise!! Try the size 18. You will be surprised!

ICBINEG · 12/10/2012 12:13

grrr I have jeans envy....

I wonder what the pounds per dress size calculation is....

I noticed the fight to get into my sports bra was somewhat easy yesterday though...all positive :)

TheHumancatapult · 12/10/2012 12:55

Yup ic takes time

Ok we got through appOintment and not succumbed to chocolate yet but it's only 1 so have time

got a dx not totally unexpected but treatable Smile so relief but arghh waiting on transport so I'm missing lUnch and with all got planned dinner not looking good

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 12/10/2012 13:38

Well done tortoise for only having half your meal, I still find it hard not to clear the plate. I'm trying on my pre baby jeans every few days. Today I could squeeze into them but they were so tight I could not wear them out. Also there was a ton of muffin top!

Human sorry you're having a bad day, hope ds3 is ok. Could you get someone to cover for you tonight so you can get some sleep?

Tonight I have a fish and chips dinner with some friends. It's at 8 so I would normally be starving. My strategy today is late breakfast (toast at 11), fruit at 2.30, a portion of yesterdays hairy bikers curry at 6. I'm hoping I'll be so full I can only manage half of fish and chips. I love chips so much, think this'll be the first time I've eaten them in a month. Gah, have to pop out to buy milk before school run. Must not buy chocolate...

TheHumancatapult · 12/10/2012 15:23

Yeah it's treatable controllable by medicine so all ok

No sadly not know they short on volunteers so will go luckily younger two should have a club tomorrow so in theory I may go back to bed tomorrow in day

dancinginthemoonlight · 12/10/2012 18:11

tiggy114 · 12/10/2012 21:48

Hi Dancing (resi?) we have just made it through teething first big molars. Nightmare. You feel so bad for em but also really grumpy from lack of sleep. There's an end in sight. It won't last forever. Smile

dancinginthemoonlight · 12/10/2012 22:32

It's the last for teeth that seem to be taking forever! It's the stroppy grumpy behaviour that drives me bonkers lol

TheHumancatapult · 13/10/2012 06:27

DaNcing and tiggy sorry your suffering that horrible teeth stage . Hoping dancing that you got your wine and that you both got some sleep .

I know I struggle more when tired I crave food

Johnny how was your night out ?

Tortoise that's good that you now recognising being full .

Ici

Fed up

You feeling any better hoping you had less rain

Goon , you can how are you both

Waves at anyone else

And yes Im putting of working out but will go Di in 5 minutes

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 13/10/2012 10:41

Hi human how was your night? I hope you were able to enjoy it and weren't too tired. Up at 6 again, do you ever sleep? If I were you I'd be living on caffeine and chocolate.

I had a lovely night with some parents of kids in dd1s school, she's in reception and it was lovely to chat for more than the two minutes we get when dropping them off. I had a small fish and chips and was full at half way but stopped eating 3/4 of the way through so felt a little bit naughty. It was the smell of the vinegar I found it nearly impossible to stop. Brilliant progress a month ago I'd have eaten a whole large portion and picked on someone else's leftover chips!

dancinginthemoonlight · 13/10/2012 12:32

I got my wine and a lie in until 620am who,h is better than the usual 5am! At thein laws until Mon so will be spoiled with nice food and childcare :-). Plus I can have a bath (we only have a shower :-()

TheHumancatapult · 13/10/2012 21:06

Survived yesterday without blowing it so happy and been ok today :) . Am working hard on core strength and under the fat I can feel a differance ( ok that could just be my muscles screaming ( am part of a Fb yoga group and we all commited to doing the core workout twice a day for next two weeks as group challenge )

Johnny

I have always been early riser often waking before my kids . I need that peace time to swig a coffee and get a workout in. But have cut down on the coffee a lot

Ok how much water should we be drinking ideally I'm trying for between 2-3 litres but don't always make it

Youcanringmybell · 14/10/2012 08:23

Good luck to all those fab people that are weighing tomorrow!!

FedUpOfRain · 14/10/2012 08:48
