Thanks to all who replied. You are right of course...I just need to be strong and believe in my own goal. Unfortunately it's not really a case of not being able to tell them I'm 'slimming', it's more a case of some family members seeing it as being 'silly' and being offended that I'm not eating the cream cakes etc. Oh well, I'll go, put up with the jibes and then when I'm slim and gorgeous they will see why I may have stuck to my guns about it. Cheers guys...resolution! x

Good girl ;-) i had a similar thing when i first met my husbands family. Because i'm a vegetarian it used to make meal times kinda awkward and his mum used to treat me as if i was just being fussy! It took a while but eventually they got the message and stopped trying to make me eat meat, lol.

Oh, Jen! Sending you hugs!
It has been a rough day today. I had a day like that a few years back so know what it`s like. You`ve done so well with sw so try not to be too disheartened. I`m sure you`ll be back on track before you know it!

Evening all, it is so cold. I have a heater on at my feet, the heating on & a fleecey blacket wrapped round me. Very windy tonight and trying to snow. So far it is just wee flurries so dont actually think it is going to come to anything.
After all my thinking about syns in an Egg Foo Young we ended up coming home & I had tinned ratatouille & pasta with added jalapenos & babybel - was lovely
Hope you are all keeping toasty warm & having a lovely Friday night xx

Oh Jen sorry to hear that you had such a long journey home. Is it iced up on your side of town. It is al frozen up here and not a single car on Westbury road - even buses stopped operating.
Have something hearty to warm you up - like option.
Keep warm and look after yourself

Hope you're ok Jen!
I've had a pretty crappy day myself - getting to and from work was terrible, had a bad day in work and managed to annoy several of my friends by refusing to travel tonight for a night out! On the positive side, whereas i'd usually be reaching for the nearest bottle of wine, I grabbed a diet coke instead and save a mountain of syns

It's horrendous here. No buses, cars sliding and crashing all over the place. I was pretty prepared and had blankets and food in the car. My hands were frozen from scrapping the car tonight, I actually cried they hurt so much! I'll be ok tomorrow!
Just feeling pretty down about stuff. Need to get an appt with doc really cos my periods are a nightmare. I reckon I get about 5-7 days out of a month with no period which is shocking considering I shouldn't have any cos I've got a coil :-( fed up with it now

I've just noticed you're in Bristol Jen - so am I! It's been a nightmare today hasn't it?
Work refused to let us go home even though the buses had stopped running and the ground was starting to freeze - I had a very slow and scary walk home!
I hope you get that appointment soon, it sounds like you're having a pretty rough time with it at the moment

Thats not so good about your TOTM. I am lucky that I never had that. I was offered the coil as the pill i was on was finally picked up on as being a trigger for my migraines (after 10yrs) but I read and had heard that they could cause bleeding. I was put onto cerezette (migraines lessened but not stopped) & i have not had a period now in over a year
A few pregnancy tests though in the early months but all good!!Hope you feel better and manage to heat up OK xx

Hey all, crumbs busy day!
This is our snowman built first thing this morning when we realised no school!!
GrannieAnnie, hope your mum is ok, I've had a keen eye on my 94 yr neighbour who thankfully has someone staying, but she's well known for throwing caution to the wind whatever the conditions!!
I'm having a slightly flexible wine style Friday... But aside from the wine, all on track

I'm loving your style of a slightly flexible wine style Friday
that's what I'm going to call it too! I'm off to get another glass! Likely to finish the bottle I think:-/ had no other syns today though and I've done 2 spinning classes and a circuit class so shouldn't do too much damage hopefully. I've been good all week (used around 5 syns a day) and stayed off the wine since last sat which is a miracle for me (especially when the other half happily polishes off a bottle a night sat next to me). Got a house party 2moro night though so not sure how restrained I will be then! Hope you all have a lovely weekend in the snow x x x

Ah! Friday wine is my thing, no other syns today, so a proper treat
I've been known to do a bottle a night, but I enjoy Friday wine even more when I live without in the week I made a bottle last 5 nights this week, (within syns),.a miracle...! will reduce syns for rest of week so hope it'll be ok. Happy snow if you have it xx

Blimey 1 bottle over 5 nights! I can only ever stretch a bottle to four glasses (more often than not I polish it of in 3 glasses) have rediscovered soda water recently though to try and make it last longer-dont like diluting my wine though:-( I must admit I am enjoying it a lot more after abstaining all week! Hoping to stick to the no drinking in the week rule from now on x

Ah Jen I know exactly how u feel about demotivation and your weight, I think it's just as we've been dieting for ages now, we've been at it a year and it does get tiresome being so conscious of everything you eat. I think even more so when you have little ones to sort out and busy jobs. I think that's my problem over the summer I was all guns blazing as I was off Uni and the boys were at school, now life's hectic again I just can't be bothered. Well couldn't, feeling a bit better now about it. You have done amazingly already, and I'm also the same period wise, I was on cerazette and had nothing for 7 months which was great, but then all of a sudden the worst bleeding ever, non stop, then pretty much 3 a month until I came off the pill, I cycle tracking now which obviously has its risks but I feel much better and the bleeding is slowly getting more regular and back into a proper cycle, I do know when I was bleeding so much I felt very down, really emotional and all over the place. It really does have a big effect when it's all off whack.
Anyway.. Sorry for the ramble, hope you feel better and are warm!
Had a LUSH dinner, super addicted to Asian curries at the mo, had massaman tonight with chicken, prawns and 'fried' brown rice, was mega!!
