New thread as old one nearly full

Why did I just eat 3 biscuit bars. I did not want then and didn't enjoy them. Why do I do this

I heard something about these kind of rash decisions, it's like the logical part of your brain shuts down when stressed or overloaded and you just react. So in our case, eat. How you fix it, feck knows. Maybe it's taking the biscuit, putting it on
a plate, sitting down & taking time to eat it, telling yourself you're allowed another if you really want it. I suppose becoming intentionally mindful in the moment
Jeez that sounds too hard!

I think the why sounds about right. The fix it, dunno as well. Does sound hard

Not great exercise this morning lovely! Your Mothers day flowers have lasted really well !
life & Not I have triggers like tiredness and being upset over something, then l comfort eat perhaps the move being delayed caused you to eat the bikkies, hope your hips are feeling better too
Been ok today thankfully , have toms, bacon and corn for tea, my favourite

I don't need an excuse to eat biccies but I am tired today. That's probably it

Left around 250 behind today, just over 14,300 - decent day all in all. Tiredness is the dieters enemy, like busy'ness is our friend. I should have been exhausted today after only 5 hours sleep last night, but wasn't too bad. Maybe my enthusiastic womble combat woke me up😂

Feel better for some sleep. The Dom's is strong today so will try and fit a weight class in. Will be tricky though

Have to say I'm fine today, no obvious aches. So that's 3 x weights workouts done, very glad I took your advice on Sunday, I reckon it helped.
Down 1.2 today, back to my lowest this month so far. Nice to see it, hope to see more of it and under. If the weather stays ok I'll go for a walk before work, today's a gentler day

I ended up being sick several times in the night, something did not agree with me at all. We can’t work out what it was as it was a veggie pasta dish. Still feeling funny today. not sure I’ll get steps or spin in but we will see how it goes.

I brought a banana with me so that I'd eat that while dd was horse riding. ds proclaimed he was thungry which apparently is thirst combined with hunger and we went to shop where I bought a nature valley pack of biscuits because you know tiredness and life was talking about biscuit bars

Scales saying 185 - alcohol bloat, must put in that other battery too. Started rhubarb complex too

Sorry to hear that gen hope you feel better soon

And pink lady apples are giving me heartburn and I've loads because dd has changed to bananas for lunch and ds isn't eating any fruit again I may have to bake an apple dutch cake with them instead

Dm coming to stay again to look after dc for Easter.

I'm going to be wiser this time and get some things that she can put it oven for dinner so that I'm not cooking every night. Aldi have lovely stuff chicken breasts on the bone which will be easy for her, just some carrots and brocolli and we're good to go.

You poor thing gen, hope it's out of your system now. I got my walk in, so 5,000 in the bag. Lovely morning for a walk.
That's great that your mum can come help happier, I cant wait for Easter to be done as my elder one will be back in school. Cannot come quick enough, for her especially.

Just had a coffee and toast and kept it down. Can’t work out what has caused it. Sadly I didn’t manager to stay in bed as neighbours dog has been barking solidly for two hours and jt sounds like it’s in the house with me! So annoying. Think I’ll go and work in DH cabin in the garden once I’m up and about. With headphones!
I am going back home for a memorial service for my brother and even though it explicitly says this is permitted I’ve been worrying about it ever since I booked it. It would have been his 30th birthday on Friday.

gen hopefully you get to travel for this memorial service, that dog seems to be an ongoing problem. What I've found with my dog is she only barks if she's unhappy or to draw attention to something

not it certainly is, mild panic yesterday when she thought she was just doing one week and I thought she was doing two, she is doing two, she's retired and due to lockdown has no other activities to go to either.

My brother has Covid currently, I haven't seen him since Aug so I'm in no danger, he's not too bad, like a bad cold he said. His close contacts are minimal, just his wife and daughter and his inlaws. Quite a few at his work have it.

Are you taking those extra hormones gen?

happier thanks, all I can do is try to travel and if I get stopped and they say go home I will. I did find it specifically says memorials are allowed but I guess it’s up to the discretion of the officials on duty and I don’t want a fine.
I am taking 3 oestrogen HRT pills a day plus one injection of an anti-ovulation drug to put ovaries to sleep. Am having my progress scan next Thursday, hoping for embryo transfer on 8 April.

It's could be you are just going through it gen and vomiting is a stress reaction?
Sorry happier re the biccies.
I did weight this morning and it helped my Dom's too. Well done not
Easy meals served like a good plan happier
Sorry to here dbro is poorly.
Gen I'm sure no one would fine you in that situation especially if they are allowed

gen an acquaintance posted on fb yesterday she's to get a £300 covid test before leaving wales and then pay for another in ROI while self isolating when she travels to visit her parents, I don't know if you're the same.

life I'm an adult I make my own decisions should have got a tangle twister like I did the previous week She stayed a month last time, and only once did she put a lasagne I'd already prepped into the oven. Now she's providing free childcare so I can't grumble and I do love cooking but just will make it easier on myself some of the days!

Happier

There don’t seem to be any testing requirements for travel between NI and England - there is a self-isolation requirement but not if you’re travelling for a funeral or memorial service.
I’ve felt crap all day, hopefully it will go away overnight if I can get a good sleep. I’ve basically gone nothing all day - I need a DGOD!!
Steps crap. Food minimal and crap. Alas.

No I don't believe there's any testing, having heard of someone travelling from NI to London for something deemed essential, which your visit would be. I hope you're feeling better soon
Just shy of 10,000 steps so that's fine for a calmer exercise day. Workout day tomorrow, I think I might have a couple of hours on my own in the house. That's unheard of these days! Slightly excited at the prospect

Evening everyone , been busy as hell today with Mum so consequently very good food wise yay!
Hope you feel ok now Gen
Not good day for you well done !
Happier hope Db is ok lovely
Life be May before we know it
Hope your hips are much better today!
Been a beautiful day here , yet they forecast us snow tomorrow

Better today, weight killed Dom's
Still not great food but 18800 steps
