i can't remember

No I'm just cutting down on the bad stuff and trying to not snack in the early evening (my down fall)

can't think who it was then
evenings are my downfall to.i find i'm having my dinner later and later so i'm not starving again at 7pm.i'm busy with dc before then so no time to snack.well i usually am,ds2 and dd are asleep,ds1 has gone to my mums and dh is at work.peace

I'm baaaack!!!

Had an indulgent dinner out on Sat, but otherwise very good ILs eat much less than us, very good for me!

Seems to be a LOT of undermining my parenting and confidence of late, need to develop a thicker skin, but how?

Walking lots, not been for a run yet though... live in hope that the enthusiasm will strike me

Hope all are well!

hellllloooo nice to have you back
sorry,don't have any advice re the outlaws.i've only got a mil and i ignore everything she says about dc.it suits me that way.dh is the same but he tells her to fck offnot in ear shot of dc though.
she just tells him to fck off back lol
i must admit it used to shock me as i don't ever swear in front of my mum but i've got used to them now

when are you weighing in mylittlepudding?

I think it is Muthahubbard Katy

Just trying a recipe for masala tea. Its in the new cook book I bought DH for christmas. Its just milk, water, fresh ginger, cardamon, fennel seeds ( only put in a few as no too keen) cinnamon. Boil it all up, let it reduce then add a tea bag for a minute or so... then drink. smells lovely, so thought all the flavours might help me not to feel peckish.... we'll see... i'll let you all know!

Finished Isobels tea which was roast chicken, gravy with mash on top. I must have only had about 3 small spoonfuls. It was enough to stop me feeling hungry though.

So, today:
slimfast
Soup
small bit of the chicken thing
snacks: satsumas.
oh, and a bite of mums cookie.

thanks susie,my memory is crap.
masala tea sounds ok in a weird way,let us know what it tastes like

Don't starve yourself Susie...!

Will weigh a week from when I started, think that's tomorrow. Gulp.

Glad for toddler groups restarting here, bet the school/ preschool relief is even greater!

Hello MLP, SO good to see you.

Not sure if i'm fortunate or not , not ot have in-laws. DH lost both of his 5 years ago. I do know what its like to feel criticized though. My mum who is THE most supportive mum in all the world, yet she still manages to make me feel like she is putting me down. DH does it too.

I've come to the conclusion lately, that it is actually me being way over sensitive ( not saying this of you BTW ). Today for example, mum picked up Isobel and put her on her knee and said, "oh, another outfit I've not seen, always a new outfit on Isobel every time I see her" well, of course she was exaggerating, and of course she didnt mean anything by it, BUT, I thought to myself, oh I see, she thinks Izzy has too many clothes then she said, oh shame her knees are dirty and her top has food on it. Again, she wasn't meaning ANTHING about it at all, she probably was thinking shame Izzy had got the them dirty.. I took it at the time that she was criticizing me for leaving DD in dirty clothes.

If i'd had said anything, he would have felt really upset to think I'd taken it that way.

I've just decided to ignore what anyone says about it. I feel so inadequate at times. I feel I fail isobel so much, with how i cant do what I want with her, with this pain and this back. Though, deep down, I know she's ok. she's really really happy, every comments on it. I know, deep down, that I do a good job with her really.

I suspect the same of you MLP.... i'm certain, sure of the same I think its a case of just ignoring it all. Everyone has dofferent ways of doing things, and just becasue your MIL or someone else might do it differently, doesnt mean your way is wrong.

Thank you Susie - it is the same sort of thing, I think. I struggle to find that confidence. My mum said 'she looks like she's been beaten up' recently of DD - just a couple of bumps, you know? - but it took me ages to get over!

susiecutie and mylittlepudding,can i just say that you both write such well worded and thought out posts,i tend to run in,post whats in my head and run out again.wish i could be more like you

Not sure I always really think about what I type. It just comes out thank you though, I'm glad I give the illusion of it!

I'm having trouble changing my name back to the bananas one. It wont copy my profile over. ACtually, I did it earlier today, and it is still saying the mincepie one... i've def done it how I usually do. Its really bugging me!

Thinking of watching wire in the blood but looks a bit to un-nerving for me here on my tod!

The masala tea was really nice actually. Couldnt drink a huge amount of it, but it was really different, tasty and just hit the spot! Also brewing it took my mind of eating although, i'm not actually hungry at all, just in a picking mood.

MLP No way could I starve myself! wish I could sometimes just having a few off days of not feeling like eating really. like I say, just fancy picking at stuff that i ought not be eating at all. Like... the crisps I[ve found in the bread bin. and the 2 tubs of haagen daas I have just found in the freezer! Ill have to pinch DH in the nipples for that! I was doing so well, now all I can think about is strawberry cheescake ice cream. Oh, and all butter shortcake I bought him, which I thought was gone, but has imerged from deep within the cupboard, shouting to me..." eat me eat me... pleeeease eat me. "

how am I going to ever do this girls? really, how? NO way until all the norties are out of the house. I'm not strong enoguh to chuck them out, plus DH needs some treats when he comes home. Oh its SO frustrating. WHY is there no "frustrated" emoticon thing???

go and brush your teeth susie and welcome to the hunger.it happened to me one night and polly the night after.it will pass.repeat to yourself "little pickers wear big knickers"
and keep posting,it stops the hand to mouth motion

Well I managed to kick my but on to the cross trainer but only managed 20 mins before I was absolutely knackered, still its something to work towards, I want to be able to do 40 mins a day mon-fri.

I've had a good day to day, finally

B = toasted teacake and flora light
L = 1 bowl of home-made carrot and parsnip soup
T = tuna steak, 1/2 pk McCain gourmet potatoes, leeks and carrots

Snack = I thick toast with raspberry jam and philadelphia light.

4 cups of tea with skimmed milk

susie i think i may have found a solution,how about if you diet while dh isn't there and don't diet but don't over do it when he is.that way you can be more strict through the week but know you can relax at the weekends and enjoy being with dh and enjoy a few treats.
plus you'll look forward to the weekend even more and as nothing is forbidden you won't want it as much.

what do you think?

mrsfish you too have had the lightbulb moment20 mins is great,how are your legs feeling?

ha! success, dd back to preschool today carrying a big bag of our remaining chocolatey bits and bobs to hand out when they sang happy birthday....so i don't need to think about those and the remaining stollen, panettone and truffles are safe up on the top shelf and can't get to them unless i ask dh (which i know i won't do )all that is left is rover and viscount biscuits which don't draw me in the same way.....

hello mylittlepud....i have a MIL whose brain is not connected to her ears.....nothing penetrates it and the same stuff comes out on every visit, me and dh used to time how long it took for her to ask about potty training on every visit from dd being 10 months onwards. every time she would tell us how "her boys" were trained from 12 months and evry time i'd say...ooh, likely to be over 2 when we start to which she would say "you can't leave it that late"...the only thing that helped me was having dh onside...it helped to laugh about it, to have him deal with her when i was going puce and to offload in a gabbly style as much as poss in 10 mins on the way home....and now we are into failing discussions about why having a surly looking beggar on your t shirt saying "whatever" isn't sound nightwear for a 4 year old../...i expect this to go nowhere and we will be kneedeep in bratz dolls flipping the finger next year

ooh that was a long bit!

hi katy, i would be at my dh and MIL swearing at each other as well, how did you get used to it (i suppose it stops you having to do it ...)

Discoverlife, i would have no worries about buying 2ndhand, theres not much that can go wrong with them other than the battery/charger going

anyway food
brekkie...muesli and skimmed milk
lunch.....tuna and salad sandwich. a gingerbread mans head. satsuma
eve.......sausage, new potato, onion and tomato bake with veggies. semolina

20 mins is a great opener mrs fish!

to be honest polly i don't see her that often.dh goes on his own ,but it does become white noise after a bit

pollywobbledoodle - your MiL sounds exactly like mine. Her 3 kids were wonderkids if you listen to her, they have done everything quicker than my ds1 has

Katy - my legs feel ok atm, ask me tomorrow

mrs fish at least you will be able to run away when you hear her coming in future

i think i just tune her out a bit now....dh reads as soon as he gets into her company and her dh sits glued to the TV....i used to think that they were being really rude (and told dh so) and then i had dd and then i understood...and i always took my knitting/cross stitch up with me...
