Morning,
Oh how nice it is to feel a proper weekend again I have been awake since 7am but took my time getting out of bed and went downstairs made a coffee, went outside for a fag and been sitting here the last 2 hours in my pj's and snuggling on the sofa
Plan to do more cleaning this weekend as the house was very grubby, stupid letting agents ha ha also need to go the parents and get some clothes washing done (I dont have a washing machine yet) Going to take the dogs out for a good walk and chill as much as possible!!
Been looking into cars, thinking of saving a little each week and maybe within a couple of months trying to get one, so want my independance back in the form of transport!!
Had a sandwich for lunch yesterday and Jacket potatoe last night with beans (and a little bit of cheese) still feeling pretty motivated and still not had any bingeing moments so really happy.
Im slowly beginning to feel more normal, Occasionally I still struggle to get my head round all thats happened, but looking where I am now, I need to keep looking forward, we have a home, our dogs, each other and jobs, the rest can come when its ready - although I hope soon
Have a great weekend peeps
xx

Nee, switch the fag for the run, and you are describing my morning too. THere's something lovely about just lying back and letting the day unfold slowly. I am proud of you for not binge eating. I know the usual triggers and you have had them by the bucket load these past few months.
I agree, that you have to look forward, nor can you block out the past. Accept it. If there are lessons to be learned note them. It happened, and now look at you! You are right with your priorities, being togehter with your dogs, a space of your own,a dn a little money coming in.
A friend of mine rang for a chat on friday. She said something I had quoted from my motehr last year, has really stuck with her "how much do people really need?". it was about working and raising shildren- my mum believes ppl work more for things they may not really need and give up time with their kids for that (not always but sometimes) and my friend has now given up work, lives on her husband's wage and looks after her 2 boys. And she's loving it.
Anyway its just that idea Nee that sometimes we need to just concentrate on our prioirities because clutter like too many clothes, shoes, stuff, toxic people, it can all strangle us in different ways. Something about you and you OH in your new place, cleaning it from the bottom up, sounds very fresh, a clean slate.
Every day apparantly we get to chose who we are. Have a nice weekend Nee.
On another note, I weighed myself before and after my run- 11 12.8 to 11 10.4 - which means that right now (for about 2 seconds) I am less than half a pound from being JUST overweight!!! wow!!!

Colly, I alone am not doing the dirty work! One of my sister's smokes, and having one sister doing dietetics and the other doing physio, with all their work coming down to "risk factors: no 1 smoking no 2 obesity" they really do sometimes get worried about us. My aunt died of lung cancer recently (long term smoker) and it was really ahrd on my mum- they were best friends.
Sorry Nee that was not meant as a lecture!!!!! honestly.
Anyway my mum adn dad never celebrate their anniversary, but this week mum spoke to my sister who is at home this weeknd, saying that she and dad are 35 years married and isn't it soemthing as her older sister or parents never made it this far- so naturally we are marking it!! Quiet meal (with 3 of their 6 kids) my parents hate fuss, but it was just brilliant after 35 years she finally celebrates her wedding (shot gun wedding you see!!)
On another note entirely Colly- weighed myself on carpet too- and I am just over 11 7- which means, of course, scientifically, while standing on carpeted floors I am no longer obese!!! hahaha

ooh la la
but i heard you like the work dirty?
well done on the moving scales around until they show what you want to see i do that all the time, although i'm aiming for a move into plain old obesity, it'd have to be some surface to shave like 6 stone off me to show me as "overweight"!!....if you ever find that surface do let me know x

Thanks Kellie, I totally agree, life is what you make it and you dont need to have the best of everything to be happy.
A few years back I sat with a 50" tv, everything in my house new, a £1k bed etc and now I have a a 12" tv, a second hand sofa which I love, were sleeping on a mattress and to be honest I dont care, cos I cant wait to save up money and buy things bit by bit Its soooo exciting
Well done on the scales must be such a great feeling, If I do manage to get over to my parents I may have a peek at the scales and see what its showing, I long to get into the 17 stone bracket, I havent seen that for years!!!

nee its a fab feeling to build up from nothing- when i was 18 i was homeless and got a council flat and had to get EVERYTHING for myself (bar flooring, which my resettlement officer got for me). it makes you so much more grateful for the nice things you do end up with. my fridge and cooker aren't great but if o/h ever says "the cooker is crap" or something i get really defensive! haha. i now have a nice bed, leather sofa and 50" tv, but i don't take it for granted!
