Greeneyes will PERSEVERE.........

DH's dinner sounds fab Mel. Carbs are the same for me. I had my chilli tonight without any rice, even though rice is free on Extra Easy, I just don't like the swollen belly etc that I get.

Low carb is definitely the way forward for me. I did have a wholemeal pitta, with prawns and salad for lunch, which hasnt affected me and was a Healthy Extra B for the pitta and the rest was free, so going well today, so far. Going to make up a few flavours of Sugar free jelly soon, which is a nice pudding with some Fat free yogurt, again all free.

I must get on the net and look up SB and gen myself up. xx
 
Oh Linda, what a time you've had. Great about Mr Depp's job, not so great about your infection though. I guessing that Mr D. has sobered up by now, hopefully he's grovelling apologetically to you and spoiling you rotten today. xx
 
Hi Linda,

I hope you have had a good weekend.

Hi Linda,

I hope things are ok with you. I also hope that hubby has been bowing and scraping ever since his little 'episode'. I popped into DD2's for a quick coffee yesterday evening and her FIL's face was gross. He really looks like he's been in a car accident. I asked him if he was going to knock the drinking on the head and his reply was "Well until my bruises etc clear up" Men!!!!

Try and pop by and say hello if you get a minute...I worry about you. xxx
 
Hi Linda,

Been wondering how you are -- and making sure that I get to do your #1,000 post (hee hee).

I hope all is well with you, DH, your DD, and all the others in your life.

Just popping in quickly before I go watch England v Ghana, last time I watched Ghana play was in South Africa last July when they played Uruguay in the World Cup...... (yes I was really there), so thinking I may quietly cheer for Ghana tonight as Fabrio has decided to play a lesser team tonight.

Everything is fine here at the moment, weight is piling on as we have eaten out nearly every day since last Monday, and yes it is emotional eating and I know it but dont have the willpower to resist at the moment. DH is back in work next week, so may restart CD then, I will see, I will need to lose the weight that is piling on too, plus my Mum is taking my sister and her family and me and the ones that live here out for a meal on Sunday, so will keep on eating until then..... went back to Doctor yesterday as infection hadn't cleared up so on 7 more days of anti biotics......

Hope you are all well, will try and get on here tomorrow when I may be slightly less busy...... xx
 
Glad you are ok Linda...I'd forgotten you went to the World Cup, seems a lot longer than last year that we were humiliated lol.

Glad things have calmed down a little after the weekend. xx
 
Yep have totally lost the plot over these last 2 weeks, hopefully get back on the wagon next week, but things dont bode well for me maintaining any weight I do lose, even Beck doesn't help as I know exactly what it says and can quote it to myself but then I ignore it.......

Ho hum, I will sort something out......
 
Hi Linda,

You sound good. I am glad that things are shifting around for you. Please try not to think so negatively. For anyone who has given birth to ten children, and successfully maintained a blended family, and raise many of those children to adulthood, etc. Losing and maintaining weight loss with some support should be very possible.

When you are ready to lose weight: I strongly suggest that you start by going through Beck (commit to it) in ORDER. You'll spend a couple of weeks just getting ready to diet, then move on into CHANGING your relationships with food and exercise, so that you will maintain your losses once you've lost the weight.

However, in the meantime you can practice things that you will neeed to be able to do for the rest of your life -- such as making better food choices, not overeating, portion control, spontaneous exercise, planned exercise, etc. There is point in gaining weight, whilst waiting to commit to losing. Try to stay the same, until you are ready to "go for it".

I so wanted a little chocolate last night: I'd been to Tescos (after dinner so I was not physically hungry) and I was looking for treats to bring with me to the U.S. (I had to get some ham and grapes for DD's packed lunch and decided to have a little shop.)

However, I had been typing up my Beck ARCs yesterday and could close my eyes and see the type that read: NO CHOICE! I really think the Book helps -- so, when you're ready Beck and I are here for you!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Brilliant post from MM!!

We all struggle with maintaining, hence being back here - Beck does help but only if you do the exercises and over time, i.e. one chapter per day (or per week if that works better) and not read as a whole.

I'm not even thinking about maintaining and trying hard to not even think about losing at the moment. Every day that I'm sticking to SW I'm happy. Hopefully the weight loss will naturally follow me sticking to it. I have days when I overeat - like last night - but I also have really good days so overall I'm doing OK and I can't expect any more than that.

When you are ready Linda - commit to a day. Once you've managed a full day, do another one and so on. I'm such an all or nothing person and I also spend far too much time day dreaming or planning the future when I'm thinner, richer etc. This time I'm trying to adapt the AA mission statement of "one day at a time" and it really does help...

Hope you are having a good day! :)
 
One day at time... that is how we do this hang! MM
 
Hmmmm more bad news.... glad I am not on a diet as I would be bound to break it..... my tortoise has died, one day it was running around the house fine and terrorising the cats and the next it was dead. The boys brought him to us saying he was dead but we thought he might just be asleep. It is now obvious he is not.... I thought they were supposed to live to 100 years old, we used to joke who was going to get him in our will..... we have only had him 6 years though and he is not a hibernating tortoise so that isn't what happened to him...... really confused!! and sad.
 
Aw Linda, so sorry to hear about your beloved tortoise. You really are having a shocking run of bad luck. My heart goes out to you and your family. Will you take it to the vets to find out why he died? xxx
 
Awww Linda I am so sorry. Although, I think you live an interesting life. A cat scaring tortoise. Ten children. And very handsome (trophy) husband. Going to the World Cup in SA. WOW!

I think that it is good he did not suffer, as it sounds as if he passed quickly.

MM
 
Afternoon Linda -- this is post #994, and I think Chels is vying to be your number 1,000. I hope it is KatyCakes. She posted on Chels thread -- she was concerned about Chels mental issues (she is having some weird dreams again... hummm).

MM
 
Now should I just keep posting for the next 6 posts or should I let someone else get a look in.

So...... really upset about the tortoise, he did die Sunday, but was just hoping he had gone into a deep sleep which he does sometimes when it turns cold which it did last weekend, but no, he is definately dead, just cannot bring myself to bury him though, sounds awful doesn't it leaving a dead tortoise laying around. Anyway, today we went to look at some tortoises, just to look and come home and think about whether we should get another or not and the breed we wanted there was only one left so we bought him/her/it and brought it home....... so it is all settled into its vivarium and tromping around quite happily at the moment, still very shy which we expect, hopefully it will be as good fun as our other tortoise was. Cannot see it terrifying the cats at this size though, it can sit on the palm of my hand (as could our other tortoise when we got him) but they do grow quite quickly....

Off to a pub quiz tonight, hopefully I can keep DH off the alcohol, will get him to drive should do it, but my sister says she needs some help at the quiz, so as it is music should be good.
 
aww poor tortoise, very upsetting hun!

Hope you have a good night out, I love a good pub quiz
