LF feel free to have all mine for now, I will ask for the vibes back at some point in the future but feel free to use them all you want.

Sue thanks for that suggestion earlier I have weighed myself tonight and will again on Wednesday and then every wednesday night from then on.

WWB I shall e-mail you later with my starting weight (yes I am feeling brave) and then join in with everyone as of wednesday.

Bugger off the lot of you... go on, clear off. Nothing to see here, now move along.

S'not fair picking on a girl just because she had the odd immoral moment in her youth.

flutterbee · 07/08/2006 18:24

WWB I have sent you my starting weight as of last night, I am a little about it.

Roll on Wednesday for my first weigh in.

suejonez · 07/08/2006 18:26

Well thats the worst done flutterbee, now onwards and upwards (downwards?!)

If you could just get these leering ghouls of my back that would be great.

Go on bugger off the pair of you!

MrsJohnCusack · 07/08/2006 18:28

oi!
I'm leering too....

suejonez · 07/08/2006 18:29

Sorry you were leering quietly so I didn;t notice you

suejonez · 07/08/2006 18:30

And you can bugger off too - trying to have a go at my lovely Richard Hammond

MrsJohnCusack · 07/08/2006 18:31

listen - hands OFF the Hamster
he's mine. I don't care if it's greedy and it's my wedding anniversary today, he's mine

Gawd, I thought there was everything on this thread but now she wants buggery as well

Flutterbee, that's the worst of it done now - downwards all the way from here on in! Please don't feel shocked about it - be proud of yourself that you've taken the first step towards doing something about it. Remember that we're all in this together; there are others here who have similar amounts to lose and know what it's like to be in it for the long haul.

MrsJohnCusack · 07/08/2006 18:35

Itching's OK, MJC ... it's the scratching it that gets you into trouble ...

OP posts:
suejonez · 07/08/2006 18:46

THATS where I was going wrong - scratching NOT itching...

niceglasses · 07/08/2006 18:47

Okay, put pound on. Not too downhearted as hols plus a weekend away with curry and wine and beer............ Hard during school holidays. Gonna start again from now..........

hub2dee · 07/08/2006 19:01

pmsl re: scratching and itching... we're in 7th too !

MrsJohnCusack · 07/08/2006 19:02

looking forward to our curry being delievered - yum, yum, yum

winnie · 07/08/2006 20:07

I can't keep up with you all

Today hasn't been too bad. The main thing is I haven't felt out of control around food today which has to be good. After the weekend though I have a feeling I will have gained this week.

How is everyone else feeling?

I could do with someone's size 8s (or 9s!) applied to my bum at the moment ... I'm stuck in on my own yet again (bloody MIL, bloody dh) and am struggling not to go and eat the fridge! Am not feeling in control at all and could do with (a) a bit of distraction and (b) a bit of a pep-talk, I think.

OP posts:
winnie · 07/08/2006 20:14

"WWB, you are doing so well... don't give in... it's not worth it!" Does that help?

I am sorry you're having a bad evening.
What kind of distraction would do it?

winnie · 07/08/2006 20:15

Not feeling in control is a weird headspace. I hate it. Often it's not even about the amount I am stuffing in my face. I empathise WWB.

I felt so much more in control over the weekend and it's all gone out of the window now. I've resisted the temptation up until now but it's so hard.

Dh has been notable by his absence for over two weeks now. The week before last he locked himself in the dining room as soon as he got home and sat working until midnight every night. Last week he was round at his mother's place packing for her (she moved today) - she's fit as a flea, but couldn't be arsed to pack her things, wouldn't pay for the removals company to pack, so dh had to do it all. He was there every night (again) until midnight most nights. He's been there all over the weekend, and is helping her unpack now (because she can't even open up a bloody box herself). I want my dh back, she wouldn't even let me speak to him on the phone before dh went to bed because he's "too busy". My MIL is a MN joke but it's not funny at the moment!

I just need someone to talk to and cry at for a bit, I think. I don't do cyberhugs but just someone to listen would be really good. And if I'm sitting here typing and someone I'm not eating.
