General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

There must have been a "FULL Moon" Saturday night! My dh and I was pissed off at one another yesterday too. Maybe that is why I grabbed the hard candy, lol

I hate to see you in a bad mood! Charlie is lucky to have a great mom! He will be fine in the new school. You can lose that 8 pounds in a heart beat! You got to think of yourself and stay healthy for little Charlie and the other kids. I haven't read your whole story, but I will soon.

Hey all though I am working at weighing less I don't worry too much of how i look naked. I feel at this age (63) my dear husband is lucky to have a wife who tries to stay healthy and looks good for him, fat or skinny, lol.

Take care of you!!
 
Oh SHITE girl. :( I hate that you're going through a rough time. And that you HAVE BEEN going through a rough time for ages. That sucks balls, man. If you ever want a proper vent, feel free to PM me. And let me know if I can do anything to help you, like ply you with the incredibly awesoem compliments you deserve for losing NEARLY SEVEN POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (rounding up... that's allowed...) WOAH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Legend.

I can't believe you are so close to a healthy BMI. Scrap that - of course I can believe it! Look at you! You are kicking some real butt, girl! Look at US! :)

x x x you know it ;)
 
Me again :) Thought you should know that I am SO devoted to you that I came and read your diary before I went to mine :) It's nice to be missed, hehe.

Oh, and we got an extra campervan day for free. I felt like I needed your mobile number to let you know that I hadn't fallen off the bandwagon (or thrown myself under the campervan wheels, which I felt like doing occasionally) and that I was just galavanting a day more - not avoiding you! :) haha.
 
Heya sweetie.
How you feeling today? You were the first thing on my mind when i woke up this morning! I always worry about my friends if they are having a crap time and i totally consider you as a friend. I really hope you are having a better day today hun. Big hug. Xx
 
Were is our RAINBOW? I want to see your fabulous food and you have to yell at me for not trying anything new this week yet...its all so yucky..lol..I don't wanna!! :):)
 
:iagree: Ive been checking your diary every time Ive been on computer since yesterday! Get back here, IMMEDIATELY! :D
 
Thank you so much you guys, you just made me cry! :grouphug:

Well.... last night wasn't pretty. I've been avoiding the subject for such a long time.... I told him that I didn't think I loved him any more, and he was really upset. He was trying to hug me and give me affection- but he always does if we fall out, and then it stops when we get back together. And I don't want to enjoy a taste of what it is like to be hugged just to have it disappear again, that almost worse than not having any affection at all. He came in the front room with me to watch some telly, which is something he never does. I put on grand designs which he doesn't like, and he didn't moan and sat there through it. Then I thought I would make him uncomfortable and put on a programme about sex. The subject of the show was of a particular issue that I have (which was a BIG co-incidence). So I started crying, and we had a long talk, I probably wouldn't have been brave enough if that programme hadn't come on. He explained himself, and I think I might possibly be wrong about the big assumption I made when I found something out a while ago. I just don't feel close to him at all. I don't see us ever being happy without me feeling its fake. But I will give him a chance. I still haven't responded to his cuddles, as I know that when I do he will probably stop trying to cuddle me any more.

My food yesterday was awful, and I do feel like giving up, my food guilt has disappeared. But that would mean not talking to you lot any more, so I'm going to do it! :D x
 
You are so brave....you are taking the steps to make you happy....and you can come here for support regardless of food ...or exercise..or whatevet you do or not do.....but I have a feeling your not a quitter...and you won't quit on yourself...you may be down right now but you are not OUT! :grouphug:
 
Hey there Ruth.
I've just read your diary from the very beginning and I have to say you sound like a very strong and determined woman!
Must be in the name ;)

You have some so far and done so well, it's be a shame to give up on it all now.
With everything seeming so up in the air, maybe your eating/weightloss can be the one constant? Something to focus on.
You say you do a lot of cooking, perhaps look at more complicated recipes, something more to take your mind off things.

Well done anyway on everything you have achieved so far and keep up the good work :)
Your kids are lucky to have a mummy like you.
 
Hey Hun.
I don't know what to say to you to make things better but i'm always here for you hun. It's good that you have talked about things, i think being honest with how you feel makes such a difference, even the little things that niggle. You just need to remember that however this turns out you will be happy again, you need to do what is right for you and your kids, be happy. Thinking of you and keep talking/ranting to us, as you can see we all care.

Ok, Back to FOOD. I am giving you my sternest, scariest look, furrowed brows and all. You, missy have got to get to your size 12 with me. You said that we are doing this together!!!! If i can get to a bloody 12 then you are jolly well gonna be there too!! You have been such an inspiration for me, i so what to be able to help you thru this crappy phase you are having to deal with. Stick with us, even if you don't stick to healthy for a while.

Thinking of you hun, big hug. Xx
 
Hi Ruth, you are it for today on my catchup diary reading. (note to self I'm up to post 46 only on page 2)...

I wanted to comment about the dukkha recipe. I noticed you were leaving out the tomato seeds to reduce the bitterness. With tomatos, you should add a pinch of sugar to achieve that. I don't think this would damage your diet but it makes a world of difference.

On my holiday i had dukkha for the first time ever. I was intrigued to know what goes in it cause i couldn't actually discern any particular nut - but now i know so thanks for that recipe. One day i'm gonig to try to make something with dukka. In the restaurant, they served it with olive oil and supposedly turkish bread but it was a poor version. This was a pretty high fat, high cal entree/apetiser but i always love to try new exotic foods. Good party food i think - though not cheap. Maybe good dinner party food if you want to impress people. :D

Anyhow, i will revise this post a bit as i get through your diary today. I really hope i can read it all.

Have a lovely day and thanks for commenting on mine while i was away. Its good to be back and its great this forum is here isn't it. :)
 
Awwww xxxxxxxx

Thanks for the message blackie :)

I can't believe how many people are reading my diary from the BEGINNING recently! Phew! I am a bit embarrassed actually because of the amount of ups and downs I've had :leaving:

That was such a lovely message Lylitu, thanks :eek: You are right, no matter what crazy shit is going on in my life and my head, eating can be the one constant that I can control whilst other things are beyond my control. Will go and check if you've got a diary....

We WILL get to size 12 together hunnibun :D And how can I quit after what you said tetm?

I have a grin on my face for the first time today, thanks so much everybody.

I lost 0.6lbs in the past 6 days, which proves that MAHOOSIVE almost 7lbs weight loss last week, actually really wasn't a fluke! :)

I haven't counted my calories today (or exercised for that matter), but I've done alright.

Food
ready-brek
2 peaches
sweet potato with curried beans
1/4 water melon
6 coffees
 
I am glad you have a smile or two today...its gonna cost me my job if I get caught on my cell phone again...lol..joke!! My boss hates it...but she does it too..so she can't say a thing..lol.

Try going out for a stroll..it always helps me detox mentally...don't worry about pace..just walk...your moving...and thats a good thing!! :):)
 
Seems Amy must still be away, what with all this calorie-counting laziness of ours ;) xxx

See how much you rock? Look at all the love for you on here!
 
:) Ah, well tetm, you work hard, I think your definitely entitled to an hours sneaky phone usage :p

Mmmhmmmm. I haven't done my calories today either. I am rather worried about Amy's diet. What happened to our guru :(? WE NEED YOU AMY! Don't dessert us for desserts!

The size 12 vibes your sending me are definitely working :) As you can see below.....

Mission "fit-into-fabulous-shimmering-size-12-dress" is progressing :D The first pic was taken exactly a fortnight ago I had a 33 inch waist (At 13 stone 3,185 lbs, 83.9 kilos).

Since then I have lost an inch off my waist and 7lbs, and it fits LOADS better. I am rather chuffed, especially considering I only lost 0.6 lbs this week.

Ignore the eye-bags. They will be eradicated in just one and a half daaaaays :D It will be like they never even existed! Mwah-haha. And I need a haircut desperately. But I'm waiting till after my eye-bags are sorted as I hate sitting in the hairdressers staring at my face.
