The thing is, his mum and sister were both big...... (about my size), but they've both done LL / CD and are now size 10's.

I find it difficult as I think he's comparing my losses against what his Mum has lost etc. I've tried VLCD's twice and just can't do it. I've told him this, and he said he understands, but every time I say... "ohh I've lost 1lb", I keep thinking about how much his Mum use to lose a week.

Oh well. Nobody knows what I weigh apart from my Mum, I tell my boyfriend EVERYTHING else but I really draw the line at telling him my weight. I know he won't be horrible about it, but like Karen, I don't look like I weigh as much as I do......

Enough of my ramblings, thanks to everyone for replies, you're all legends xxx

Looking at your avator pic you don't look 'big' as you put it. You prob dont look heavier than you are, just like Karen prob doesnt! I like to think I didnt look like I weighed 18 stone - but I must have done! xxx

Sorry rainbow, what I meant is that I don't look like I weigh as much as I do....... I look smaller than what the scales say, as I'm 5ft10 so got more room to spread the fat over.

When I've lost 3 stone, I'll tell him.

I knew you meant that Lou - but I couldnt work out how to word it in my sentence.... and my mum and dad had called round and were talking to me!!! Go on Karen - you'll feel better telling us! start PMing us one by one if thats easier!! Thanks, thats kind of you to say - I wish I was 15 then Id be 12 now lol!! xxx

Just saw your ticker rainbow - you go on holiday in 6 days, I'm well jealous.

Anyway, I'm feeling positive still, although I need to stop my morning cravings...... I can't seem to leave the house without taking something naughty to eat in the car. (I think it's because I hate going to work)........ As I don't have anything naughty in the house anymore, I resorted to a handfull of jelly beans which had been in the cupboard since Xmas.

It's not as if I was hungry as I'd just eaten beans on toast......

Go figure!!

Hope everyone has a good day x

Im weally weally exited especially as its chucking own with rain here! dont like jelly beans so Id be ok on that score! Glad you're feeling positive, I am actually - which is quite rare for me these days! xxx

Well Im late in replying but I would not tell ANYONE my weight b4 I started and what I weigh now and all that!

NOPE NEVER!

Im ashamed of it - maybe I will when Im happy with it but not yet!

My OH knows exactly how I feel about my weight and does not question me at all....

He will understand weight is a very private thing

He's not bought it up since, so I'm hoping he's forgotten.

As for the healthy eating - I feel like it's clicking in my head more, I looked at bank statement and saw I go to Tesco every other night on way home from work and spend about £15 a time.

I have a freezer / cupboards full of food that needs eating up, so...... no more trips to Tesco, means no more random treats slipping in the trolley..

I decided a week or so ago that we were going to eat everything up in the house rather than keep going shopping.............. it hasnt worked AS well as Id hoped, but we're getting ther! xxx

It's working for me at the moment, although I never realised how difficult it would be.

I've started a list though, and putting things on that I NEED not want. Hopefully I'll save money and lose weight.....

rainbow

Those were my two reasons for doing it! x

louise - why don't you have a couple of sugar free chewing gums straight after breakfast? you won't even want to take anything naughty when you leave the house as your mouth will already be chewing and be all minty!

wow jelly beans in the house and they have been there since christmas pat on the back for you they would have been gone ages ago.

I no exactly what you mean about shopping all the time I have my food delivered and still end up going to asda aaah!! We also have freezer and cupboards full of food why do we do it, if I send hubby to the supermarket with a list he will get exactly that nothing more nothing less how do they do that?

Good luck with doing this on your own and not going to class £4.50 is alot of money especially if you don't enjoy image therapy. you have got this site it's invaluable aand keeps me going mid week x x
