Thread: Tillymax is trying again

Your plan for tomorrow looks good. How many fishfingers do you get for those syns? I used to love fishfinger sandwiches. mmmm

Fishfingers are 2 syns each on a green day or 1.5 on a red or EE day depending on the brand. Oh yes fishfinger sandwiches


Its funny I came across that dog pulling earlier in the smilies and thought it must be how I look walking to the park with Carla as she so pulls. Awful. No amount of training stops her. Yet on way home walks perfect

Mines the same - I try to walk uphill with her to start with cos she makes it easier for me by dragging me.

I just actually laughed out loud when you mentioned your daughters spray tan! I suppose i could be worse and she could look like the 80's orange varnished pine! or the guy out of the tango adverts lol

The tan gets darker overnight so she may look like that today


Don't know if you would be interested if you don't like fishfingers but my boys all love fish finger pie when I make it... Fishfingers grilled and laid out into an ovenprrof dish then place fried (with frylight) onions over the top and baked beans and top with mashed potato! It is optional but you can they place cheese on top!

Oooh that sounds good - I've added that to my recipe list. Thanks

Morning all

Just had a go at that quote thing but I can't do it - how do you get them blue boxes.

Yesterday was awful - I couldn't stop eating. I ended up making some sw chips and scoffing them last night. Because of that I have no potatoes so todays tea will be lasagne.

Have a good day everyone.

I'm giving it a go - thanks

I've got potatoes (ooh that sounds rude). Think I might have fishfingers for tea now

Daughter is definately 80's pine coloured now - hopefully it will look better by Saturday. She seems happy with it though. Obviously, being the perfect mother, I won't knock her confidence and tell her she looks a b*gger

The house is full of birthday cake. It's a good job it wasn't here yesterday when I had the munchies!

I felt less positive today and was slightly worried that losing the positivity would throw me off course. I don't know why I lost the positive feeling. It may have been yesterday - I ate all day but just didn't feel satisfied. Anyway I had a peek at some other diaries and some photos on here. It cheered me up and the positiveness is back

Glad to hear the positive vibe is coming back! :-)

Having read some of the diaries on here I have seen how open people are about whatever is happening in their lives - be it happy or sad. I don’t think I am that type of person. I just tend to get on with whatever is thrown at me. If I have problems I never discuss them with people until they are no longer a worry to me. It’s just my way. Please don’t think I am suggesting that other people should be the same because I am not. My son is the same as me in this aspect and it really infuriates me - how can I help if I don’t know what the problem is. My daughter on the other hand tells me everything. As soon as she has discussed whatever is wrong she forgets it and carries on with her life. So I can see that discussing issues would help. For me though, it seems to trivialise whatever is bothering me.

People who know me assume that everything is always alright because that’s the image I portray. I don’t mean in the sense of the jolly fat bird because I could never be accused of being the life and soul of the party. I don’t like being the centre of attention.

I think the only people that truly know me are the ones who live with me - and I think even they would be surprised at some of the things that goes on in my head
I don’t know if this will change as my body changes and I feel more confident in the new me.

I also don’t know what I am trying to say with this post so I think I will shut up now

What I really came on here to say was I am going to look at this weight loss as 7lbs at a time. So my first goal is to get to 17.13 which would be 2 stone in total

I also have been thinking about what I am wanting from this weight loss. I am not expecting it to change my life in the respect of making everything perfect. I don’t think I want it to. I have a lovely family and as long as their ok I’m ok. Yes I would love more money and to not have to go to work - but unless I win the lottery that isn’t going to happen. Ooh I wonder if positive thinking works for the lottery.

What I do want from this is -
1) to be able to not feel like the biggest ugliest person in the world
2) to feel more confident in me
3) to not be frightened of sitting on one of those fold up chairs and it snapping
4) to go to any shop and buy clothes
5) to not feel uncomfortable during the summer
6) to not be frightened of falling in the snow - I’m worried people won’t be able to pick me up
7) to be healthier
8) to feel sexy - my hubbie adores me but I question why
9) to wear killer heels - without the fear of them snapping off with my weight on top of them
10) I don’t want to feel tired and lethargic all the time
11) I want to join in life - I feel that I am a bystander in my own life at the moment.

They were not written in any particular order but I think the last one is the most important one to me at the moment.

I will review these occasionally to see if they still seem important to me and probably add more.

To say I started discussing how I’m a private person it certainly didn’t end up that way

aww tilly that was really honest of hun and it does help to write things down i dont like speaking about my problems i find it easier to write down i think you no what you want you just need to go get it easier said then done i no but i think you have got the willpower and your minds in the right place i wish you all the best hun xxxxxxxx

Thanks Clair. I don't know what came over me. It must be the lack of junk food

That's brilliant. I think I will get some and just sit on the sofa in them. Hope nobody comes to the door cos I won't be able to get there to answer it

Seriously though I might just treat myself when I get my next stone off

Morning

Happy 16th Birthday to my beautiful daughter

I ended yesterday on 12 syns

So far today I've had breakfast - weetabix (B) banana and milk (A)

I don't know what I'm having for dinner or tea yet or even which plan I'm following today. I think I will see how I feel as the day progresses and just take it from there. Bring it on.

Have a good day

goodmorning tilly i thought i would drop you some shoes in haha also say a very to your lovely daughter hope she has a fab day and lots of

catch u later clair xxx

Happy Birthday to your lovely daughter hope she has a fabby day

Killer heals gosh been years since I could walk in such a thing. Absolutely love them though

Go for it! buy a lovely pair, treat yourself

Hope you have a lovely day
x

Clair - I love those shoes but think they might need to be a bit bigger

Jackie - I might have to start off with a slight incline of a heel before I move onto the killers. It is a good idea to have some kind of reward though. Hubbie has bought me a charm for my charm bracelet for every 1/2 stone I've lost. I'll tell him it's killer heels for the target weight

I've had a lovely day. Daughter has gone out for a meal with her friends and there will be a suprise birthday cake there for her. My mum made her a cake as well and I had a very small piece. My mum makes the best cakes in the world - it was yummy. Normally I would have had a much bigger piece but I was just as satisfied today with my small piece. I just hope the rest of them polish it off quick cos if I get the munchies I won't be able to resist.

Today ended up being green
Br weetabix (b) banana and milk (a)
snack pear
din baked potato and beans
snack pear
tea lasagne (3 syns) and salad
birthday cake - probably 2 million syns but I won't have any more today and hopefully it will be ok.
I've still got another heb to use so will have something later

Just need to get some exercise done now.

I managed to survive my daughters birthday without going too crazy on the syns so I'm feeling pretty proud of myself.
