    sore again

    I have the same problem with my belly button and the skin right below my apron. It is so embarrassing and painful at times. As I've lost weight it's gotten better. I was using the thrush cream as well, but I went to the doctor and she gave me some steroid cream to use five days a week for a...

    Bunged up again........

    Have you considered using the Fiber89? It's something they sell through Cambridge and you take one teaspoonful a day in your shake/soup or with water. It's flavorless and it seems to help so far.

    In need of support

    You can do this. You just have to focus on what you really want. Is that short term gratification worth it? I think what keeps me focused so far on LL is that I think if I eat something that's £66 I've just wasted that week. Enjoy your bath and pamper session. You know you are strong and...

    Thinking of changing from LL to CDC

    Sure :). I am going to be forever in debt to LL. In fact, I gave someone the number to make enquires about it today. I just know I'm making the right decision for me now. It will be great to have a fellow shipjumper!

    Thinking of changing from LL to CDC

    I'm swapping from LL to CB this week too. I have spoken to my CDC on the phone and via email all week and feel a great connection with her. I've still not plucked up the courage to tell my LLC. I think it's going to be a great change to have some new flavors and I'm getting excited about it.

    Can stress cause "fake hunger"?

    I believe that stress can cause you to think you are hungry. When I would get upset the first place I would head was the kitchen to eat. When it happens now I just do the Paul Mckenna trick and imagine maggots on it so it puts me off and grab a peppermint, earl grey tea, or some water. I...

    Size 16 jeans......WHAT?!?!?

    bars

    My LLC told me to give up the bars for a week because of my slow weight loss the past few weeks. She said she had been told that it could affect loss. I said no at first because the bars are what I have at work, but now that the new shakes are so easy to mix. I will give it a go.

    Banana Shake

    I think they are delicious too. Being able to mix them so easily in a shaker means I might start having them instead of bars for lunch. I can't wait to try the new bars.

    Big Test Coming Up

    You could always try having a pack while they are eating or a bar. It's what I do. I have been out to eat with the family and we do a lot of family get togethers and I just have my "food" when they are and I find that even though I am a bit jealous I can work through it.

    Nervous about Stop In

    Have you tried mixing the packs? Chocolate and vanilla warm are nice. So is Chocolate and Raspberry. Vanilla with a spoonfull of coffe and a sweetner are nice too. Chicken and Mushroom or Vegetable mixed are nice. I add pepper and salt to my soups to give them flavor.

    Thanks everyone. I just guess I was having one of those "grumpy" days. I definitely haven't touched normal food and I am determined not too. I know that I am stronger than those weak moments of just wondering why I can't have a small bite. If I can stop smoking I can do this.
