I hope this worked!

I need sensors in my kitchen. I have been on a see food, eat food mission tonight. Why? Nothing satisfied. I don't know what I wanted. I need a mantra. If you are hungry, have an apple.

Brains, how is he this morning? How are you? What do they do for kidney stones?
What a fright. Hope all is better today.

Oh no, that must have been awful! Scary how suddenly that happened. Hopefully they're managing his pain now in hospital? It's the best place for him really at the moment. Fingers crossed for his recovery.

I suppose the upside (if there can be said to be one) is that you know what the problem is and that it's fixable. I understand it's incredibly painful though, and must have given you an enormous scare. I hope he's at least been made more comfortable for now, that treatment is fast, and things are looking better all round this morning.

Brains. I've been stalking this thread!

No wonder you were terrified. Does he not get an instant referral? (No idea how it works)

Don't bloody think about food! You just do what you need to.

Get some rest. I'll eat the cheese for us all.

You won't, you know. (On the grounds that I've eaten most of it already.)

Glad things have at least settled a bit, Brains. I hope he stays comfortable and is fully fixed very quickly.

Why do I find it so hard not to overeat? (Rhetorical, obvs.)

I'm glad he is home and you are all filled up with wine, cheese and salt. Hope he gets sorted soon. Are they the sort of stones you can put in a jar and keep on your mantel? My mums friend did that with his gallstones.

I'm hoping I can stop eating for the next two days as I think this medication is kicking in and I'm eating for a large family.

Pippi, we are all in the same boat I think. The boat with all the food.

I get an advert for posh chocolates. I hate being stalked by the internet.

Cold pizza and jaffa cakes sounds like the food of the gods, but it's important to remember the particular health benefits of cooked tomatoes, but, to be honest, I'm not sure any actual oranges are involved in jaffa cakes (I love them but NEVER buy them because I will eat the entire box in one sitting: it's inevitable.)

I hate my lack of control. Current pattern seems to be three or four days restraint, and then two days of over-indulgence. This would be okay if I were happy to stick at this weight, but I really want to lose another stone, and here I am just losing and regaining the same 2-3lbs over and over. Every minor stress or worry results in chocolate. I wish I could eat like a normal person. As it is, sometimes I feel like eating a normal person.

I'm with you both on lack of control. I don't know why?
I'm on mobile, no advert. Mine would probably be for drugs that you can't get in the U.K. And jumpers. I can't find my perfect jumper.

I get too cold so I need my perfect jumper. Plus I live on a hill. In Scotland.
And socks. I always want good socks.

My adverts are about jobs?? What? A proper paid job? I've never looked for one of those, ever. I do stumble into jobs.
How's DH brains?

Blimey. Hope he is okay.
My DH has "flu", he is self healing with celebrations (I'm trying to ignore the fact they are in the room), beer and giggling at Zoolander. That's how you heal flu. Mmmmm hmmm.
Youngest is unwell with a cold. He's in bed coughing like he's been on the woodbines.
I'm not feeling good with my new meds and I know I've gained weight. I have bought myself an unaffordable cashmere jumper. I know it'll feel nice....

In reality I'm out of my league on cashmere. I'll probably spill bleach on it before I even put it on.

Not sure re meds. I feel a little better today. I sat and read all the bumph you get with it. So that's made me feel a bit better.

Kids are off school till Thursday here and it's raining. Had hoped to get them outside but they are allergic to rain.

DH is miraculously better. So next time you have flu and can't get out of bed, eat a box of celebrations.
