Hello!

Well done on your loss Emma! I LOVE stuffed crust pizza :-( stay strong!

Congratulations on the sts Cheryl. That's great.

I was put off OA by a post on here that said is was quote a religious based programme. Is this still the case? I just fear that it may not be the best fit for me if that is the case.

I had my WI tonight - lost 9lb! Really happy with that. It was effectively a new week 1 though. Was just looking at my mini goals, and I am quite far off from where I thought I would be. But my progress is good - just think my expectations were unrealistic.
I'm over halfway through my journey now. Exciting! Though still a little daunting I have to do the same again!

hi hun no oa is nothing to do with religion, it does refer to your 'higher power' but you can interpret that as you wish, a guardian angel, your willpower etc- noone is trying to convert anyone and doesnt matter what religion you are everyone is welcome- hope that clears that up. God i sound like i work for oa haha honestly im not here all jehovas witness type recruiting oh members lol i dont mean to preach just i didnt know about oa before and would have been grateful to anyone who had told me about it, if it helps just one person than great- if its not for you fair enough thats great too :D

well done on your loss hun 9lbs is awesome :talk017::party0011::party0011::party0011::party0011::party0011::party0011::party0011::party0011::banana dancer::banana dancer::banana dancer::banana dancer::banana dancer::woohoo: xx
 
Thanks and well done on your amazing loss!

Cheryl I think you should take fearless's advice and try the OA meeting, if it is a pity party then try to find another as she said.

I sadly did not resist the pizza I took a bite chewed it and then spat it back out! Do you think this means that I messed up my 100%? I never actually swallowed it!!!

Thanks. Good to know. Id never heard of it before, and it sounded like something I would benefit from. But the comments I had read had put me off.

I'll definitely look into it.

Fearless said:
sorry your evening didnt go as planned hun, i know how mush you was looking forward to your meeting! i didnt end up going either, mainly due to me energy levels being so low at the minute and i have to get a bus and a metro to get to me meeting and metro and bus back and just didnt feel upto it, gonna get me oa book out for a bit read before bed might get me head into gear.

that doesnt sound too good what your cdc said, i cannot really comment on that only been to my nearest one and its amazing full of longterm members and newer ones so get to hear stories from those in recovery and those starting recovery- very inspirational! maybe if you gave it a try and it is as your cdc said at that one a bit of a pity party try the next closest to you along, dont give up on it- the first meeting can be a bit surreal but it can really turn your overeating around if you are ready for it.

thanks for the comments on me furbabies, they are my world! and half the reason the house is always a tip lol. gotta get some pics of yours i adore cats and dogs, have you read love it magazine? they have a section where half the pics are of animals and half of babies, i always awwwwwwwww at the animals and dont give the babies a look lol. xx

sorry u didnt attend ur meeting either lover. we both have to make the effort next week, right? :)
ive only read the 'love it' mag a few times and that was only as a browsing moment. lol
i do have a soft spot for babies too though. we have tried for almost 14 years for another child but since having the implant removed 14 years ago my body has been very screwed up with regards to cycle. in the last 3 years i havent had a period at all. :sigh:
i do have the next best thing though. my grandson... my biggest reason to smile each day (some days my only reason to smile). he lives with us so i get to catch all those special moments :)
 
Morning ladies - had trouble posting yesterday - kept getting ditched out of post so I eventually gave up.

Cheryl it's great that you managed to stay the same last week and good for you for sticking 100% yesterday.

Jayelle what a great loss for you - I hope that mine will be as good. My first weigh in isn't 'till Wednesday evening when I'll have been on SS for 1 week 2 days, so I think I'll have to do an unofficial one on Monday.

Emma good for you for not swallowing! That definitely doesn't count!

Woke up with thumping headache at 6.00am today. It's now 8.45 and I've already had more than 1l of water and pain meds - I hope it shifts soon as the kids are on an inset day today and we've got a busy day planned.

Bizarre moment of the week for me - collected DD and friends from Brownies last night and turned into our road to find a PEACOCK strolling along it!!

Fearless - we love animals too. We have two kitties who are real characters. Sadly no dogs as I'm very allergic to them. Your pets are v cute!

Well, here's "good moaning" to everyone - the sun is shining here so I'm going to get my a**e into gear and get out that door!

Hey! I did it - I'm all Sparklee! Am I now a fully qualified "Amiguette"?

wow have you seen a specialist about this hun (sorry if thats a stupid question), are you still trying? Have you thought about using a surrogate? it would be your egg and your husbands sperm so your baby genetically and just borrowing a tempary home til ready to be in the real world?

its lovely your grandson lives with you and you get to see him doing all the new things. i dont hate kids by any means just prefer me furbabies :p

how are you feeling today?
