[loulou129]

[katsmad64]

I also have suffered from anxiety for most of my life ( on and off ) Its so exhausting some days can't focus on any thing and diets are the last thing on my mind just want to feel normal . My anxiety became severe ( over night ) when I started the menopause I was up at 5 every morning throwing up I lost weight the wrong way as I couldn't eat got so bad some days didn't feel like I could carry on and I was in a very dark place . I'm now on HRT and am much better I still have my off days but I feel if you can do some exercise however small it does help having said that when I was at my worse I couldn't walk much let alone exercise so I totally understand if exercising isn't possible . We will battle and beat these Demons you are all wonder people sending you all lots of love xxx

Morning all,

Feeling motivated after losing when I didn't expect to so fingers crossed can get another loss out this week.

Hope everyone is feeling happier today (for those that weren't) and good luck everyone on weigh-in days!

I think we shd celebrate any loss - TextyF reminds us that half a pound is a block of lard so u've lost 2 of those this week - most of us wd like a couple of them to come off the least desirable parts of our bodies eh? Well done!

 

[CatA]

It's VERY easy to fall off. I have been faffing since I managed to get into 13st bracket - which was I am ashamed to say - September last year

 

[Sammyanth]

Hi all, just having a catch up after the weekend and so sorry to read that quite a few are suffering/have suffered from anxiety. You have my sympathy as chronic anxiety affected me many years ago and it was one of the worst times of my life. There is hope, you can come through it and be happy/feel normal again but it takes time, effort (learning relaxation techniques) but most importantly, making sure to take things easy whenever you can and be kind to yourself. Big hugs to those of you that need them xxxx

I agree that nobody should stop posting here when feeling low, talking through our feelings can sometimes be the best thing ever. Especially if you're talking to people who understand! Keep posting Autumn and anyone else who stays away when feeling low. As the saying goes, a problem halved......

Well done to Beckieee, Loulou, Littlemiss (you're doing fab ladies!) and good luck to all for a fantastic week!

CatA, I'm so glad you have finally had a good loss and you are sounding so positive now, keep up the good work!

 

[Beckieee]

Happy to update for u - but do u mean u've lost a total of 2lbs - sorry for being so thick!!

Yes lost 2lbs sorry (It's my first week)

 

[Sammyanth]

Well done Beckieee! That's a great loss

Well done on the losses!

Still being good and sticking to diet here, although I feel really heavy today which is odd!

Of course your not too late welcome believer!

Having finally got below 16st 3lbs last week I have been completely off plan. I had a very boozy weekend with accompanying late night eating and hangover eating and feel very hormonal causing me to want to eat lots! As such whilst not taking a "sod it" approach to things I am going to take tomorrow's WI with a pinch of salt. I will have gained, it was after a blow out weekend and I can address it straight away.

I have just been chatting with one of my Mum's ex-colleagues on email (Mum is now retired but used to be an MD at most popular recruitment agency in town - they got me all my jobs before this crappy one I am in) and she has shown my cv to a company locally (face to face she was that desperate to make them consider me) and they definitely want to interview me.

Meant to be a temp to perm role, I can't really risk temp though and she told them that so they may skip temp bit just for me if I pass the interview stage!

It's local, and pays almost what I get here, except I then wouldn't need to pay £210 a month for a travelcard or use trains! OOOOOOH!

You're doing really well CatA, keep up the good work! Good luck on the job front too as I've just read your other post. Really hope it comes off for you!

Hi believer and welcome to the thread. How much do you want to pledge, I'll update the list for you

Hi Kentcat, well we all have times in life where we need a complete break I think and sometimes it does us good and helps us to keep on track more once we get back on plan. Hope the scales are kind to you tomorrow!

 

[believer77]

Hi Sammyanth,

Thanks
Could I pledge 40lb please.
Thanks

 

[Beckieee]

Well done Beckieee! That's a great loss

Thanks well done to everyone on the losses this week
