New thread

ah thanks Dotty
now, ChCh is practically small enough to know everyone. and that name rings a bell, but then could be from Trinity or anywhere. I was there 95-96

WWB hope all goes well today - will be thinking of you [manly clap on shoulder]

All these musical types - I feel positively unrefined (science graduate) . I do love to sing though and might have had a half decent voice had I been coached at any point but I fear it's too late now. I did sing in the University Choir for a while until I got a job that clashed with the rehearsals

Thinking of you here too, WWB. Hope all's well.

I love singing, but have a very average voice. Do all my best singing in church, where there are loads of other voices to camouflage mine. Am very of you lot with musical ability.

I have lost track. would like to say thinkinog of WWB buyt have probably missed the day itslef - have I?

Is it tomorrow in NZ MrsJC? It's still today here. iyswim.

Like the diet name btw - kind of ecclesiastical

Thank you for your thoughts and manly claps on the shoulder

Am back and all's OK - was a bit bleurgh when I came round in the recovery room but am OK now. Just a bit crampy and pretty tired.

Mind you, the tiredness was probably due in part to dd waking up crying because she couldn't remember where she'd put her cardigan at midnight, waking up crying because her duvet was untucked and she didn't know where the hospital was at 1am, and waking up crying with ear-ache at 2am, coming into bed with us, going to sleep on my arm and keeping me awake pretty much until 6am when the alarm went off ...

Sorry I missed doing the weights. Will catch up tomorrow, probably stay on the same thread then back to normal (normal? ) this week.

Glad all went well WWB

Is that the end of the problem then? A temporary resolution? A lessening of the problem? [ignorant]

Hopefully the end of the problem. If the lining has been blasted to oblivion then the chances are that I will stop having periods completely

If it hasn't worked then the next step is hysterectomy. Needless to say I am hoping desperately that it's worked!

All I need to do now is find some new uses for my lovely washable STs ... have I just found MIL's birthday present?

WWB! Hope it went well - fingers crossed.

I seem to have re-found my ability to eat stupid amounts... Have just wolfed down a load of gluten-free biscuits and the really silly thing is if I eat too much g-f stuff it's like having gluten and I react badly to it

The logic of finishing the biscuits off in one go so there weren't any more in the house seemed more sensible than just having one a night for the next few nights...

It's amazing how compelling that logic is sometimes!

Can you put them away and come and chat, so you feel less tempted to wolf any more down? Maybe we could bait the troll on the Fat People Buy Sports Wear Shocker thread ... or perhaps we could just talk about caaaaaaake

Too late WWB! Still, there are no more biscuits in the house now so it's looking good for tomorrow..!

I've just done a delicious order on Northern Harvest, which does home deliveries of organic/free range yumptious food in the North West (this is my version of talking about cakes - gluten-free!!). Went a bit bonkers but have ordered a ham, some salmon, soda bread for dp and a box of all sorts of stuff. We got a Christmas hamper from our friends from there and it was the best present - can't possibly wait until next December to get another one!

I was, of course, talking about gluten-free cake!

I guess if they're gone then they're out of temptation's way ... in that warped and twisted logic that only an over-eater can understand!

Your Northern Harvest goodies sound lovely

Thank you for understanding!

oops - still had my thin name on (and who am I kidding?! )

Oh god I can so relate to the "eat it all up and get rid of it" thing. DH is just as bad. We are fine until something has been opened then whoosh it's gone. I mean, then we won't be eating crap tomorrow will we? (except we do)

Hurrah for the end of periods WWB . You could always try the for sale boards on here if your MIL can't find a use for your sanitary towels I must admit though at 33 and unsure about how complete my family is I think I'd rather hang on to mine for now (periods that is not second hand ST's)

Glad it went OK, WWB. Hurray if the periods really have stopped.

It's all gone quiet...

I have been doing so well this week. Then I had a shocker of a night and even worse morning with dd and stopped on the way to work, bought a 5 pack of Mars mini-rolls and ate the lot before I had got another 5 miles.

some things just will never, ever change

TigerFeet - I know how you feel. It's like someone throwing a switch, and before you know what's happened, you've bought and eaten something you never intended to. BUT, don't let it sabotage your whole day - it's eaten, but now just move on. You did what you did, and now you can choose to eat healthy stuff for the rest of the day. And the calories won't make that much difference, in the grand scheme of things.

It's really hard not to let it sabotage your day, isn't it.

My mindset at the moment seems to be that if I eat the right breakfast, my day goes well and I can be controlled about my eating. However, if I eat toast and butter or bacon sandwich etc. for breakfast, the whole day is then written off and I tend to pick all day.

Silly isn't it!

I had half a bottle of wine last night too - that made me feel better

Today I am back on track so I am just chalking yesterday up as a bad day and putting it behind me. The big challenge will be whether I can leave the rest of the wine until the weekend!!!

Weigh in tonight [gulp] I am feeling positive though.

I am doing the core plan on WW as I found it too easy on the Points plan to use all my points on crap and not eat enough fruit & veg. So I am now on the 10/10 thread and doing the core plan and it seems to be working for me really well (binges notwithstanding). Lots and lots of lean meat, steamed veg, fruit and low fat dairy stuff smeared on ryvita (strangely not as grim as it sounds!)

not to be recommended as a weight loss method, but have had mega food posioning this week. Been realy sick and can't face the thought of food in anything other than minute quantities.

oh well - at least i might actually manage to have lost something this week. my ww progress is painfully slow....althoug oddly i "look" thinner, even if i'm not actually much lighter.

ooh sorry no time to catch up with the thread. Are we having thin names then? I guess mine works already . All been ill chez kewc but thankfully nothing worse than bad colds.

So your starter for ten...

Who remembers what anniversary it is today?

The day you brought ds home?
