Hey Sweeties,
The Wanderer has returned....
The last 72 Hours have been very hard going, for those of you who don't know, I don't have the easiest of relationships with my Mum and in April/May this year she said that I was looking like I'd put on weight which I knew anyway but was waiting for the right mindset to do something. As you know, I joined WW, joined MM and the rest as they say is history. Anyway, fast forward to yesterday and she's telling me how ill and emaciated I look and saying to everyone else 'Doesn't Serena look ill etc etc' It made me feel like s**t :-( I then found out that a so called friend is having a Party and EVERYONE got an Invite except me, the reason? Cos I'm not on FB, has no body heard of Text/Phone/Invite.
Now onto the Food...
I went out as planned yesterday to the £5.99 Deal Pub, had my OSS Honey & Almond (3pp) before I left and then had my Planned Mains (14pp) and Dessert (12pp)....
Super tasty for 26pp and meant I'd had 29pp so far with 27 Weeklies left to 'spend' I stupidly though that I didn't need to eat dinner as I'd had had that Mega Lunch but then I just proceeded to binge :-( I wasted every last 27pp on Options, Meringue, Cookie, Chickpea, Peanut Bar, Roast Potatoes, Melba Toast....basically anything I could lay my hands on :-( 27pp Gone!
I then collapsed in a heap on the Sofa, didn't even make it to bed I was in such a state and woke up to morning to loads of abusive texts from so called friends and family :-(
Took Poppy to School and was so tempted to Binge but instead I had my OSS Honey & Vanilla (3pp), went and got my Hair washed, took my car for its MOT and then put all my energy into making these...
It took me all day which was what I wanted, I'm only happy when I'm cooking, so pleased that I have
3 x Shepherdless Pies (6pp Each)
2 x Bolognese (2pp Each)
2 x Chilli (4pp Each)
In the Freezer as it takes the pressure off on Evenings when I don't have time for cooking.
I then collected Poppy and again went into the Kitchen, made us one each of these for dinner...
10pp Well Spent I think
I've had 19pp so far and am looking forward to 2 Options (2pp) and a Fruit n Nut (5pp) through the evening.
Just need to stay focused tomorrow on 26pp and then face WI on Friday, I just hope that I counted correctly last night and More is More!
Lots of Love Serena x

Well done on pointing everything first of all!!! How do you feel about those comments from your mam hun?? I think you look fab anyway and you are such a wonderful person and so undeserving of those comments.. Tell her I said if she has nothing nice to say then she should just say nothing at all... As for that party, everybody and their neighbour invites me to crap on Facebook and I never go.. As far as I'm concerned if I'm not worth the piece of paper you're not worthy of my company!!!
And look at you cooking up a storm in the kitchen!! Use all their negative energy to cook up a storm!! You are a wonderful person Serena and don't ever let anybody make you think otherwise xxxxxx

You look fab hun dont let others tell u otherwise. Years ago when I was at my target weight of size 8-10 everyone said I look ill blah blah blah. No I dont cos ive a small frame so ive still got fat on me at that size so im not boney. I am 5ft 9 and ive long legs 34inch. I found it was the jellous people oh and the onea who wanted to keep me as their fat friend made the nasty conments.
Now ive got pretty outspoken that I give as good as I get. Just chin up hun your fab!!!! Plus one day of binging aint so bad ive done weeks of it. You stayed in control and pointed so fabbbb wel done x

Firstly Facebook is the route to all evil x what did we all do before it???? I don't have it either as the people I know and love are in my life x
And I'm not going to say anything about what your mum has said as it wouldn't be fair as I don't know her x but one thing you need to do is take what she has to say with a pinch of salt! You know how well you've done an how fab you look x that's all that matters x
Family's can be so cruel sometimes don't let any of it hurt you x big hugs x

Sounds like you've had a rough couple of days Really good news you managed to put your energy to preparing food for the freezer rather than bingeing. Ignore other people being silly. Your opinion of you is the one that matters.

Nice to have you back & a 27pp binge is nothing at all - well done not only for tracking but also for stopping at your 27, which means you're not over. You just have to be super good today & tomorrow
From the pictures you've posted & your profile you don't look emaciated, you look fabulous, take no notice, people don't like change, it's a funny thing.
Party schmarty....FB is the root if all evil, people are waaaaay to public about stuff & live their lives through it. If people FB invite me & not email/text/call etc...I always assume they don't expect me to turn up, so generally I don't! I hope they don't get you down too much. I know you always say your life is on here with your minis, but you often mentioning meeting up with folk, so I'd stick to them. Very few of us have more than a few genuine good friends, most people are just 'associates' really.
Amazing cooking day, looks epic! I love having a freezer full, I just need a bigger freezer!!

Sorry to hear the comments your mum made you dont look ill, you look amazing, honest! We'd tell you if you looked ill. She might just be jealous that you had the willpower to lose weight.
a 27pp binge is not much especially as you had the 27pp left! I'm sure all will be fine on friday.
Re the slow cooker discussion I have a 3.5 litre and feeds 2-4 people, it is plenty big enough

Sorry to hear that you've had a bad few days.
You look amazing and your very sensible knowing when to stop. Jealousy is usually the reason why people comment on other peoples weight and I wouldnt pay any attention to it at all.
Well done on stopping at 27pp I wouldnt call that a binge at all. You pp it and stopped when you rqn out of your weeklies.
Well done on preping meals they look fab.
How are you feeling today

Aw Serena, it's not nice to hear that you're not getting the support you deserve... Keep your head held high, you've achieved so much. Don't let your mum or other nasty family members/so called friends bring you down - they can't put the weight back onto you, it's off now for good. Show them you're stronger than their words.
As for the 'binge', I've been there and not even pointed (oops) it's good you stopped though at the 27 limit.
The food you made looks gorgeous. Hope you're having a better day today xxx
I had my weigh in and lost two pounds!!
