When every conversation revolves around food and your starving!!!!

men can be such tits at times. Dont give him a hard time though. He was sorry

[weepoppet]

I never give my OH a hard time for eating in front of me or telling me about what he has eaten, after all it is my choice I am doing a diet that currently does not contain food.

I sat one night last week whilst he told me about his works meal he had at a Japanese terriyaki restaurant and it sounded so delish and a fantastic night out. I just sipped my shake and accepted his offer to take me when I am maintaining.

lol lol i'm in fits here. I can identify with all comments, the only thing keeping me going is that pair of jeans i want to get in to, currently it doesn't even pass my knees. During the days I'm fine, i'm at work and busy, but when I get home that's when I feel depressed. Last night my kids wanted a bacon sarnie, trust me I literally took a deep whiff of that bacon frying in the pan, and then I got soooo upset when they wasted it saying they were full up and didn't want anymore. Watching it go in the bin instead of in my mouth was torture!

been there sammy! its def not easy.

But I bet you felt good afterwards? Would've been a whole lot more depressing half an hour after if you had eaten it!

I feel like I'm turning into a slight anthropologist (however you spell it!) about food. It seems like such an integral part of society that you dont' realise how much you're bombarded with food messages. If you were on WW, you might've seen those ads and then gone and made a sandwich, completely oblivious to the fact it was psychological hunger.

We've got a good opportunity to step outside and be impartial for a bit, all that will help us recognise the triggers once we're maintaining.

It doesn't help at the time though!
