Your other car eh? ;-)

In seriousness for a min. Not good. Cars are evil money grabbers.

Funnily we have a small chink of sun poking through. It's been pissing down here too and the rivers been burst for months :-( I do worry about the change in weather.

I'm being good today. So far. I have yoga later so I can't eat a lot or I want to belch Grin, not a good look.

I throw bleach down the loo. I often spill on jeans. I'm a clumsy cleaner. Best to avoid it.

Hope the plastering isn't getting you down. Maybe that's why your eating everything?

It has been stressful. Just take a few days to regroup :-) Chocolate

FFS. This annoys me about the patchwork jobs that seem to be happening in the NHS. I hope he gets seen soon. I'm on really expensive meds now that my own cheap surgery would never have prescribed me. They are probably looking for ways to remove me right now.
I've got the cold. I'm ignoring it!
Well done on the weight loss. It must be the nerves! Unless you are doing all the plastering and not telling us.

Hope your DH is sorted out very quickly.

I'll report on my weight gain later ;-)

Excess nervous energy use For The (Weight loss) Win, obviously. Glad you have something cheering, Brains.

I'm still in the fat and complacent camp.

Stellar67 · 09/02/2016 15:43

1/2 a pound on for me. So this is my kick up the arse. Can't keep thinking I'll get away with it.

Oft, go to bed brains.
I'm catching up on Happy Valley. Went to the gym with a friend which was probably more of laugh than a workout. But I was sweaty so maybe I used my chortle muscles well.

My DH is going to get a corkscrew at him too, because he had decided to build a cabinet for the bathroom now, it's my downtime. He's not getting a valentines card .

Bloody happy for the steps. It's such a monumental moment. They can walk, they will leave the home in 18 years Winkwell down young brains. Star

That sounds like a great gym session, stellar.

And lovely, doddering first proper steps, Brains. I hope your husband is a better patient today.

My eating is fucked, and out of control. I could cry. In fact, I did. I am putting weight on. And fast. I don't feel like I should be here but I don't seem able to do anything about it myself so I thought I'd go for the honest approach, just put it out there, and see what happens.

It's classic emotional eating - life is a bit messy and stressy at the moment, but so is everyone's, and I don't see them eating a family sized bar of chocolate. Of course, they don't see me either because I do it in secret.

Stellar67 · 10/02/2016 13:06

Of course you should be here Pippi. Stay here and push through it. Even if you have got a massive bar of chocolate. Let it out. That's what we are here for. Thanks

Have you got MFP on the go? Maybe seeing it there would help? Or did you get another special book?

I've been batch cooking this morning. All nice and low fat.

DH finished the cupboard at 2am. Then woke me up complaining that he was tired! Angry

Still got the cold but I'm drinking water by the gallon to get that 1/2 pound (and hopefully more) away. So it seems to make the cold less, coldy?

Sorry for loss of perspective earlier. Still slightly crap perspective although improved a bit - it's a temporary set back not the end of the world. Thanks for sensible words.

Stellar67 · 10/02/2016 18:26

Brains luckily for him I am the worlds worst ebayer.

Pippi nights like tonight, DH is working away and I can secretly eat and have done in the past, and probably will in the future, but I do try my hardest atm. But I also know how bloody hard it is, and the least thing can make me sit and just inhale food. Then that's one more thing to worry about.

You are not on your own. Don't apologise. Draw a line and let's start again. Like brains says, look how far you've come.

I'm trying to trick my kids into going to bed early so I can too. Wish me luck.

How is everyone? I've managed to behave myself for the past two days. I am going to have a couple of drinks tonight, but I've laid out a tangerine I have to pass to get to the good bad stuff if I decide I have munchies.

Oh not again. What are they going to do about it all brains?

I'd have done exactly the same. Thanks

Oh I see. So they are not bothering their arses. That's terrible.

I don't like gnocchi. I'm not sure why.

I've been snacking on crap today. DH said he hasn't had time to get me anything for tomorrow. I'm not upset as its par for the course. I'm more annoyed he thinks we can share my wine. Hmm

Meh, mine was spent doing laundry. Then we had a power cut so I went to bed.

I've been inhaling food again. There's got to be a name for that. Greedy fucker springs to mind.
