The Big Fat List and Days Of Diom (TM) Part X - The one with multiple pregnancies shook up with hen do's, Wedding and a sprinkle of stress!

[ChocolatesSnowAngel]

Moving in over here girls, the old pad was a tad crowded!!!

Hello!!!!!! Sorry have been AWOL, dd had her confirmation yesterday & I've been flat out sorting that & cleaning etc!

Anyway, a good night was had & I avoided the breads/cakes etc but had ice cream so hopefully not too much damage done!

Weigh in tomorrow. Need another dress for ds's first holy communion in 2 weeks time.

I'm glad you're enjoying 777 choc...and that you avoided the temptation!

Gosh you've been very busy Fair

Weighed in tonight and 2lbs off.
I also came home after weigh in and had a jacket spud, beans and salad while DP had chicken and chips.

Roll on next weeks weigh in!

congratulations to your DD FHF (if that's the right thing to say), hope you all had a good time.

and well done huff.

I am stilla heifer (if only Katie Price could spell that properly ), and too distracted by DH's still ongoing and probably worsening health issues, DS1s exams/college choices, suspiscions that DS3 is dyslexic same as DS1, OU studies and how I feel my life is generally too much to cope with (I know I need a slap, but if I keep making light of it I don't have to face up to it and get proper help - I have been battling this depression thing since I was 18 and I have trouble admitting that it's still a problem now - does that make sense?) to face up to any more than I hate myself. I know I need to skew that feeling to make it work for me.

On the plus side I am hoping to go for a level 1 reiki attunement at the weekend, although if DH gets the opportunity of work my plans will have to take a back seat

I am not SW-ing ATM, but I missed "being with" you guys on the thread, and I love following the success of others,so well done all of you.

How are you finding not being a consultant FHF? Do you still find SW easy to follow or have you lost faith after your experience (just being nosey)

Well done huff!!!!!! Good woman yourself!

Thanks lady, dd should be full of love, wisdom, forgiveness & charitable ness now

I'm finding it a bit strange having some free time!! I'm relieved to not have all my life taken over with other peoples troubles, but I do miss the social aspect of it. I like people, talking to people & helping them, so I find it a bit strange, but, as yet, I've not had a free night to be bored!!

I believe the plan works, it does for me when I follow it :) it does work for others! My friend joined in October & text me last night to say she'd received her 6.5st award!!

Lady, you're a lovely person, very kind & accepting / if you're struggling get the help you need. I'm open enough to have told you all how I've been at times & sometimes just sharing helps, if not here, the other place is safe x

Lady sending you big (((( ))))) hugs, just typing out your troubles can help so type away x

Huff...look at you, well done and FHF good call on stepping away from the cake.

I weighed in this morning and have list 2lbs since starting again on Monday, not bad for half a week if I do say so myself!

I had doc appt this morning and after I had the biggest healthiest breakfast but still craved chocolate, so downed a glass of water and left the house before I started raiding the cupboards. Drastic, but needed. Been excellent all day

Been having between 3 & 6 syns not quite made it to 7 but then again when I do get in the right frame to follow the plan I never have the full allocation anyway. Just 7 more pounds to go to the weight I was when measured for the dress.

thanks guys

have been for a teatime shop and bought the current mag with- my bottle of wine--

the wine will have to stop after today anyway as I need to cleanse before I hopefully go to this reiki attunement on Sunday. Also have to cut back on meat and sugar... (was meant to be doing so all week, but OU work drove me to crappness)

I know...I'm surprising myself! Can't wait to get back to my swimming again once the weather is firmly warmer.

Had a very frustrating day as the toddlers nursery application forms said they would hear on or around the 16th of April but nothing so I rang the school and they said they are only sending them out tomorrow agghh. I'm a massive sad sack who needs time to adjust to my babies going out into the big world...I didn't realise they would be in the same year and that I would lose them both at once. Back home in Oz they don't start anything formal until they are 5 so its a big thing for me although most people I know here think I am very strange

I agree with the above comments Lady so vent away...heaven knows we all need that.

Choc that's amazing...well done. You're very good - I normally use at least 10 syns a day so found the cutting to 7 syns a challenge sometimes but easier than I anticipated.

Back to normal for me today and will keep the 777 for alternate weeks I think or when I start to slow down.

B: Eggs on toast with mushrooms and beans and a cuppa
L: Left over superspeed curry which turned out far too watery as I added too much water when I was cooking the cauliflower as DP distracted me and rice
D: No idea yet - had the biryani with prawns planned for dinner but DP was eating his lunch when he got home from work. Not worth cooking it just for me and he's on the phone with a customer now so I don't know what I'm doing. It will be that if he's hungry if not I will maybe make some baked bean lasagne...am hungry and wish he'd hurry up and stop yapping about structural engineers

Grrr am about to slap DP up the side of the head. He has decided to lecture me about having a mug of warm milk before bed(10pm) because I fancy something warm and have the syns for it, instead of a coffee. I explained I'd be up peeing all night.
He has now told me this is where I'm going wrong and I should have less syns and eat less. He doesn't understand I can eat what I'm eating
Men

grrr at your DP Huff. MEN!!! My H was arsey with me last night because the oven door handle came off when I was getting the kids tea out. I wouldn't mind but he was stood there when it "just happened", so obviously I hadn't been at it with a hacksaw or anything... (and he dropped the door of the new fridge on my finger while I was helping him put it back on - right index finger too. painful typing)

banana and cup of tea so far today. have "red beans and rice" for lunch, which is rice, kidney beans, fennel and tomatoes with cayenne pepper. Is very nice. Not sure about tonight. DH is starting another new job tonight. I have lost count of the number of jobs he has turned up for his first shift and he hasn't been required since I was last on the thread regularly. It's very stressful. Also, can't use the oven until the door is fixed...

still have to shop too, and have missed my delivery slot.

Hi there

Huff, dh maybe just doesn't understand? Before dh read my books (before joining a group) he used to look at me daft when I piled my plate with potatoes etc! He may just need educated

I lost 5.5lb this week - but I'd a huge gain last week so am not rejoicing!!

Had a good day today! An Out for dinner tomorrow night do will try & choose healthily :)

I know but a different story if it happens to them!

lady How did DH's work go?

I think you're right fair but he won't sit and read the books so I'll just have to prove his little theory wrong!!!!
I hate that its made me feel self conscious eating in front of him though because I've never felt like that

Both my babies got their acceptance letter for nursery this morning so will be sending them off in September - I cried when I opened them which set DP off as well- pair of saddos that we are!

Finally got some lovely new trainers which fit my orthotics - my old ones were in tatters so can't wait to get out for a walk

Then we had a birthday party for the boys cousin with a boincy castle. I declined soft drink as it wasnt diet and avoided the wine. I had some salad and chicken and peppers on a stick so very good

And choc....I tried the pink and whites in the microwave - I am now addicted! (they are in the 99p shop as well - a pack of 14!l

Hahahaha I knew you would love them!

Re your husband commenting on your food, I've had this from my OH, I just pointed to each item on the plate stating syn free over and over again and told him to take a walk (Piss off) with any negative comments.

FHF hope you get that oven door sorted asap you are missing out on your syn free chips hmmmmmm

When I get out of bed I shall have a grapefruit, ff yogurt and scrambled egg made with ff cottage cheese I might even throw in a ff sausage.

Am totally addicted - the first few bites were odd and then heavenly....Must go and stock up

Yup I think I'll have to do the same with DP - grrr he just made me so cross

Wasn't it a lovely day today?

and again turned out they had "forgotten to mention" at interview that they expected him to work on a self-employed basis (which I know is not a big deal, but DH hasn't ever been self-employed, so we wouldn't know where to start, and it was down to not being honest with him, because goodness only knows what else might have happened). Another interview tomorrow and one on Tuesday, so keeping positive.

On the plus side, yesterday was a ^perfect" SW day, and veggie too, as I read I needed to cut down on meat for my reiki (OK, so I only managed one veggie day out of the week), and today has been good so far, apart from the digestive I had during the teabreak.

I don't feel like I've had a massive change with the attunement, but apparently I will feel it when it hits me. I do feel pretty tired and less bogged down by negative stuff though. The reiki master told me I need to drink loads more water with citrus in, and that I am mineral deficient. (I will be sleep deficient tonight with all the trips to the loo!)

Had a huge fruit salad for breakfast, chicken salad sandwich and FF yogurt for lunch (at 4pm), rice and veg and an apple since then, and am planning pork steak and SW chips and loads of veg later.

Hope you've all had a great weekend

Aghhh I responded here ages ago but for some reason its gone!

lady thats pure crap about the work. Its a wonder its even legal

The reiki sounds interesting

I'm thinking about going back to work when the boys start school and becoming a health care assistant and possibly nursing from there but thats next year.

B: 2 x toast and jam
L: Salad and pasta
D: Pizza topped chicken, salad and wedges

B - strawberries, ff yogurt, boiled egg
L- usual pitta with salad and strawbs
D - turkey steak, mangetout, sugar snap peas, jacket with cheese and passatta mixed with red onion, courgettes and peppers.

Snack so far melted pink and white.

Four desks away from me on the treat desk sits a huge box of Thorntons chocolates, a large box of ferrero Roche. 2 gold foiled medium Easter eggs and the contents of 2 roses Easter eggs.

I don't know how much longer I can resist...its been a tough 2 days :(

oh pants!
I was SO good Saturday and yesterday (small slip on Sunday night, but nothing to worry about), but I have taken a tumble from the wagon this afternoon.

choc...if you give in you'll just feel guilty and worse. Anything else you can shove in your mouth to distract you and fill you up? An options? Make some low syn choc truffles to have instead?
I'm glad I don't work at times like this because I can avoid those situations

lady tomorrow is another day!

WI tomorrow...time to see if not having crappy food weigh in night has paid off!

All the best for weigh in Huff!!

Choc, you know eating the rubbish won't do you any favours, it will just annoy you & make you feel guilty afterwards - same as it does me!!

I've had 3 meals out this weekend, am trying to be as good as I can be on the other days - even a maintain would be good this week though!!

Lady, what happened this afternoon? If you count up the syns it may not be as bad as you think.

Have spent evening job hunting.. :/

Thanks fair

Hopefully I'll hit my half stone and first shiny sticker

Any luck with the job hunting?

Another lovely day here today

Off to a music group with the toddling terrors today but will walk to Asda first I think then can come home straight after. They don't sit still for the group though so am debating stopping going...its just such lovely people that run it and they let you have coffee that I'll miss it

B: Porridge, apple, banana and a cuppa
L: Salad with chicken and pasta
D: Jacket potato with chilli con carne and salad
Syns: Prob an options and a biscuit at group or I might have a crunchie tonight (9 syns)

Hi.

I had some baguette and cover lighter and come crisps. BUT, I then had an early night so didn't have wine or another meal. Anyhow,

first WI = 2lb gone, so I'm happy with that.

I am having a hungry, snacky sort of day, and I'm going to let myself have pizza this evening, and when I get back on-plan tomorrow I am going to use my syns more wisely (as in, have something "treaty" at the end of the day)

how was the job-hunting fair? me too. I am going to have to do something, but I have this niggly feeling that if I leave then they've won. (feeling more crappy today because I've had to leave my baby at school feeling poorly when I came home, and I couldn't give him a hug or anything because "things would be said" . Can't wait for 3.15)

Thats not too bad lady - my wagon fall offs are far, far worse than that!
That must have been so hard for you not to hug if your little one was poorly

I find sometimes if I crave something evil I have a bite and realise its not as good as I imagined or worth the syns and am able to leave it (have to throw it out though so I don't mindlessly finish it though.

gah! my typing. serves me right for cheating in my typing exams all those years ago

feeling a bit shit today DH is waiting for a phonecall from a job he really wants. (and waiting for about 4 weeks worth of ESA too)

Ha! I'm a touch typist...doesn't help me though as I'm on my phone all the time!

Fingers, toes, eyes, legs crossed he gets it lady
