I've not been to a class since 14th November (My sister did a couple of classes in December and she got weighed last week - she put on 5lbs) I got weighed last night and have only put on 1 lb.

katylessbumpy · 16/01/2008 11:30

which diet are you doing margo?

Not lost any, but, not gained any. So considering the amount of comfort eating I've done this last week, I feel I've done really well. So this is a new week, and an other chance to aim for the summer figure. Well in my case a better summer figure than last year. .
Feeling good today, DH is relaxing about DS's de-schooling and not pushing for lessons anymore, he has also had his first injection in the next stage of treatment and it wasn't anywhere as bad as he thought. The sun is shining and Iv'e got some seeds to plant. So life is good.

belcantavinissima · 16/01/2008 11:50

i wanted to ask those of you who do weight watchers what will sound like a really daft question but anyway.....

do they deliberately make their scales weigh heavier???? because on home digital scales and gym scales i weigh the same and on ww scales i am 4lbs heavier is this on purpose to motivate you? or are their scales right and mine and the gyms are wrong???

katylessbumpy · 16/01/2008 12:14

discoverlife your post has made me feel much more positive.thank youglad your having a good day x

bel just go off the ww ones or you'll drive yourself crazy

Hey girls

Not much better today. Had 2.5 hours sleep. was knocking around on here at 4.30am. but no-one around much.

DH tried to string a sentance together and tell me how out of order I am, at about half midnight I hope he has the hangover from hell. I really hope he is ill with it.

I've totally gone off my food. So will just have a slimfast I think, so at least my metabolism has something to work with. I've stayed the same too.

I really really need to shift some serious weight here. It s making me so unbelievably miserable. I'm wondering if thats why DH is being a shit too. maybe he just doesnt fancy me anymore.

BEL I used to think that at slimming world. It drove me mad, so, i would weigh myself, at home, then get weighed, work out the difference, and then always take it off mine, so I knew what my weight was from home IYSWIM?

katylessbumpy · 16/01/2008 13:18

susie,your dh does still fancy you he is just being a man!this is NOT your fault.
have you got a ww or slimmimg world meeting near you?if so go.take isobel with you,i really liked going with dd,all the ladies fuss over her,it gives me a bit of a break and some adult company.plus i'm doing it for me!

Hi everyone,

I've lost another 2lbs this week, slow and steady and all that!

I'm putting my menu for today on now as I'm out later.

B=Cereal bar, orange juice
L= 2 slices wm toast and a banana

D=Lasagne, salad, wine...................Hm? Can't really refuse can you on a girly night out?

Have been extra good, have just made some blueberry muffins for DD's, and taken some to DH at work, and I haven't even had one. (But I did pick a bit that had spilled onto the baking tray .

susiecutie I've looked back in the threads to see what your DH does that keeps him away from you so much, but I can't find it. You sound as if it's all becoming too much, and all you need is for him to acknowledge the great job you are doing at taking care of Izzy. Please don't feel the need to apologise when you come on here, if you can't rant at us, then who can you?
Hope the pain relief is doing it's job. What area did you used to work in when you were a staff nurse? I only ask as I'm a SN too, and have worked in theatres since qualifying in 89. I only "work" 7 hrs a week now but it keeps my registration going and gets me out of the house!
Hope you manage to speak to DH later.

susiecutiemincepies · 16/01/2008 13:44

i'Ve thought about doing slimming world again. It worked so well for me in the past. It is for me that i want to lose weight. It will help my back a lot, and my hip pain, if i'm lighter. It will help me feel more confident about myself too. I've not been overweight for so many years. Its horrible.

I reckon I need to lose 2 stone now. I'l be comfortable, maybe in a little less pain. hopefully these would just contribute to me feeling a bit happier. More secure too. If I know i look my best, then at least i cannot be thinking its because of me.

I'm just so sorry, you dont need to hear all this. Life is just really crap for me at the moment. I know there are so many people with so much more going on. I feel guilty for wallowing in all this.

Someone once said, ( can't remember who! ) That if everyone put all their problems into a big pot in the middle to take and and choose from, most people would take out their own problems again.

susiecutiemincepies · 16/01/2008 13:57

Isobel has just gone to Granny's for the rest of the day, so i think I ought to try and lie down and catch up on a bit of sleep. Must turn off my computer... i'll be on here all day otherwise!

Currantbun: DH works for a company that builds things related to railways, repairs rail bridges and things based on the rail. He's a civil engineer really, but job title is project manager. He has sites all over the country, most now based up north, manchester and further north mainly now.
He's just started a project in Sunderland, for 6 months. He only gets home weekends if we're lucky. Is difficult, and puts a strain on everyhting. We are usually very happy though, and our weekends are usually fantastic, we make the most of it and just enjoy our time together so much. real quaility time it is.
No arguments etc... we both look forward to it so much. much more than we would if we were together all the time I'm sure!
Its jut all horrible at the moment, I'm not coping with pain, or with running the home really. I Miss him, and i feel he just doesnt really appreciate all i'm going though at the moment. NOr does he understand. I just feel last on his list of priorities.
I am an acute adult medicine nurse. The ward specialises in GI medicine, but we have everything you can think of on there. I miss it terribly. Had patient fall on me a few years ago, and got a prolapsed disc as a result. In constant pain at the moment, have been since pg with Isobel.
I'd love to work a few hours a week, but no way i can at the moment. Had a very upsetting appointment in Occ health yesterday, which has not helped any of this at all. they dont think ill get back to my ward and feel i need to find another area to work in. I used to do NNU nursing so thats an option...

I've gone on a bit again.
must have a sleep.... catch you all again later on.

Thanks for all being so understanding, and supportive. Does help, and means an awful lot.

currantbunmum · 16/01/2008 14:09

susiecutie I was also injured by lifting a patient, and ended up having an acromioplsty and rotator cuff repair on my right shoulder. I've probably got about 85% movement and strength, but it's Bl**dy sore sometimes.

Hope you manage to get some rest whilst your Mum takes Isabel for you, won't have time to come back on later, but will be on tomorrow to see how you are.

pollywobbledoodle · 16/01/2008 14:15

stayed the same

haven't read all posts but susie FWIW, i think your hubby is taking the p....i know you say he has mild aspbergers but there is nothing wrong with his intellect is there? There is no reason he can't understand a "call me" text, equally there is no real reason you should just put up and shut up just in case you upset him (IME nurses and other health bods are terrible for this) ...ok maybe you need to think about how you do it and be very unemotional and directive about what you say eg when i say A (call me) you do B (call me back) or C will happen (i'll get p'd off with you and won't feel like having sex with you when you get home )

sorry about the occy health visit....it's really hard to let go of part of your whole self image isn't it? Did you enjoy NNU nursing when you did it?

katylessbumpy · 16/01/2008 14:34

hiya polly how are you today?
susie listen to polly and currantbun mum,they talk sense

mylittlepudding · 16/01/2008 15:06

Susie I'm sorry it's so miserable. You've had some good words of wisdom, which I am all out of today.

Polly too - I hope you get at least some pharmacological relief soon, and aren't feeling too low.

Actually I am FUMING today because my "D"P has LOST my passport that I need for my interview tomoorow whilst he was "tidying up". I think he doesn't want me to go at all . He just keeps saying he can't think where he might have put it. I am hunting desperately and I am going to explode soon.

katylessbumpy · 16/01/2008 15:19

have you tried in his places?or in really obscure places like the biscuit tin?i'll rack my brains...keep looking x

hi everyone.
I've had a busy and gluttinous few days. Spent some time with family (mmm can't resist mums cooking and there's always loads of cake when my family get together!) and have been comfort eating as I'm trying to toilet train ds1. I've decided to commit a week to it so I'm staying in and focussing on that.
He's been dry all day and last night. So far so good but not done a no.2 in the toilet yet.
Anyway, I'm happy that I stayed the same this week so back on track from today.
Susie sorry to hear you're having a bad time.

currantbunmum · 16/01/2008 17:22

mlp Can't you tell interviewer that your passport has been lost, and that you are in the process of applying for a new one?

Do go along, if they really want you for the job, they will understand.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

mylittlepudding · 16/01/2008 18:36

I've got to fly to get there... so I can't even go. I have practically turned the house upside down. I don't know what to do. I am SO angry.

currantbunmum · 16/01/2008 18:49

Where do you need to fly to?

mylittlepudding · 16/01/2008 18:53

Isle of Man. Need photo ID and driving license has the wrong name on. Aaargh! There is nowhere left to look.

mylittlepudding · 16/01/2008 18:54

Sorry I'm being such a drama queen. Better go and hunt some more. I am so panicky it's untrue.

pollywobbledoodle · 16/01/2008 19:29

evening all
mylittlepud...look back at the first place you looked and then most obvious one they are usually where things are IME....if that doesn't work send hubby off to do somethingwhere his mind will wander and hopefully it will pop into his head (after you have got the info...wallop him!)

Thanks for asking, I am a bit less tired than yesterday but bl**dy legs still aren't working....am very lucky though as hubby is around a lot(he's my carer....that's a whole other story!)he's very good and picks up school run etc
