Thanks everyone. Mr.Jennylee and I are going to try to work things out. Turns out he having a lot of problems with work and is stressed, which is why he was being so rude and horrible to me, which in turn made me angry and rude to him. He has agreed to let me know when he is stressed and we have both agreed to talk about our concern honestly and with out blame. It might work.
We'll see.
Anyway, going good on the diets. Didn't eat nearly enough for the past couple of days, but doing better today.
Breakfast:
small bowl of oats.
Lunch: kiwifruit
and a small serving of pasta and tuna salad with a tiny bit low fat dressing
Snack: one hardboiled egg.
I'm only up to about 450 cals which is great. I had a busy day at work today, so I'm going to go out in to the sun and have a nice cold beer.
We'll see.

Jennylee I am glad to read things are getting better, but remember we are all here for support. I know this is just a weightloss forum, but we do have to write down things that are the tiggers for our eating habits. It helps me alot to see everything down on paper or stored somewhere. And someday we all will look back and see that it helped us to better understand ourself and no longer be dependant on food for company. You are in my prayers. Keep up the good work.

Didn't really have dinner. With Mr.J gone during the week it seems kind of pointless cooking for one. But I will cook a dinner tomorrow. I'll make myself do it.
I had 1/4 wheatmeal pita with edam cheese 80cals and a piece of grilled hoki fish. 100cals.
1 beer. about 150cals.
Total for the day about 980 cals. Its probably more than that because I've only been adding approximate calories.
Thats acceptable.
I'm going to make an appointment at the doctor tomorrow. I really don't want to but I know its the right thing to do. I'm going to ask about a counsiller, or any other kind of support system. I will be going back on medication after a friend who is on the same one told me that its not the meds that make you gain the weight, its because your more content, so you don't strive so hard to watch what you eat, and make sure you exercise. So all that means is that I'll have to try harder on them. I will query the doctor about weight gain though and see what he thinks.
Its my day off tomorrow, and I'm really going to try to accomplish things. Get the house tidy, do some exercise, play with the rats, do the washing, clean out the junk in the spare room, move the furniture in the living room around to look less cluttered, organize my CD collection, go through the numerous junk drawers and cupboards and basically chuck a lot of stuff out. I think it will be very cleansing.

"...play with the rats..."
Now, Jennylee, there is a sentence you don't hear everyday!!!
I hope your doctor gives you some answers. If your potential weight gain would be attributed to a more content feeling, and therefore less watchful eating and exercising, just remember that you have us. And we will be here cheering on your weightloss and healthy lifestyle. (Read: We'll kick your butt if you want us to!)

I agree with you Jennylee, medication is a portion to the solution and if you need it, you need it, dont fight it. The other part comes from you, a holisitic approach, mind, body, soul, nourish all these aspects of your life. I am hoping you have a good doctor, as this also makes the world of difference. Your a fighter I know that things will get brighter for you, we are here to cheer you on!!

Its only 11.30 and I've just had lunch
I had half a wheatmeal pita with cucumber, grated carrot, red onion and edam cheese (under 200 cals all up).
My doctors appointment is at 2.45. I'll be walking there so thats more exercise, plus I'm going to do some more on the ball this afternoon too.
My day of accomplishing hasn't been going to well so far, I can't get motivated. One more smoke, and I'm just going to get up and do it.

I've done really good today, even though I've been eating chocolate, i'm still under my daily calories!!
Dinner: very small chicken stirfry about 250 calories.
Snack: more chocolate, I worked out that I've eaten 280 calories of chocolate today, Including my snack earlier, so my daily intake was about 1130 which is fine by me. I still feel like I'm maybe not exercising enough, I would do some now, but then I'll be all pumped up for bed, on the other hand, it might wear me out which will be good. I read somewhere that you shouldn't exercise within 2 hours of going to sleep. I'm going to find an exercise chatroom and ask for some opinions.

Great news!! This morning I was examining myself in the mirror thinking "Gee, I have lost weight" and I tried on a pair of pants that haven't fit me in over a year but I love too much to throw away, and they fit!! Two months ago they didn't go past my thighs, and today, I can get them on and do them up. They're a little too snug, but I've still got more work to do. I still need to lose some fat and I really need to tone up. So I jumped on the exercycle for 20 minutes and 10 minutes on the gym ball.
Breakfast:
Small bowl of wholegrain oats with lowfat milk.
I think I'm going to go out side and meditate for a while, then get my house ready from a visit from my mother tomorrow (she's a bit of a neat freak).

My house is sparkling clean, the sun is shining and I'm feeling positive. The doctor has put me on some new medication called Citalapram and says it shouldn't make me gain weight as long as I continue with the diet the way I am, and says that it won't slow down my metabolism.
I had 150 calories for breakfast.
Snack: Jaffa's (about 100 cals worth)
had some sugarfree gum to stop me eating the Jaffas.
Lunch: 1 slice of 9-grain bread stuffed choca full of grated carrot, cucumber, red onion, a little grated cheese and a teeny bit of lowfat mayo. (about 150 cals, probably less but I'll round it up to be safe)
Total so far: 450.
750 to go.
