Thanks Sammy,
I do have some lovely friends (other than on the forum) who know I am on LT and are very supportive. Two are doing/have been doing LT and another on LL and we always compare losses. I have another "friend" who I fortunately don't see much of now but who always tried to put me down and show me up. Not about my weight but how bad a mother I was! I got a perverted pleasure out of the fact my children eat vegetables happily and even ask for seconds whilst her perfect children hate them!!!! ***** aren't I!!!!!
My mother will never change. I think she is insecure after my father left when I was little and left her to bring up 3 children on her own with no financial help. She lost most of her women friends coz they thought she'd be after their husbands - the last thing on her mind!!!! I do love her but I find myself not liking her much on occasions.
I'm an apple shape from a family of slim things, although my mum's family live in the north east and do have weight problems. My youngest is a skinny thing like her dad whereas the other 2 are apples like me. My son is very active but has a big tum like me.
If I lived nearer you then I'd be on your doorstep dragging you out with me for a walk or windowshop or just for a coffee and chat. I'm shy with new people but very sociable when I'm with people I know. You sound adorable and the sort of person I'd enjoy spending time with. I find if I keep occupied then I'm less lightly to be tempted to break this diet!!!
Take care hun.

Thanks again for all the nice compliments, I have a friend also who is on LT but she unfotunately keeps cheating, wasting her money I think, she lost 16 lb in the 1st 2 weeks and then started binging and has now put 8lb on already. She started frsh with my last week so hope she can do it with me, if not i'm in it on my own, my Mum has been a great support, my Dad thinks I should be eatting, even told me when we came to visit, "its ok Sam you need to eat, we can have salad and potatoes"... yea thanks mate, fill me with carbs haha his hearts in the right place but i need support, which is prob how i've got so addicted to this site.
My best friend is a big support too but unfortunately she lives in Germany. Her husband is in the army. We talk everyday though and do webcams ect on msn, she reckons i'm losing weight from my face so all is good
Of course you love your Mum you just don't have to agree with some of her ways hehe, your Mum sounds like she def had it hard though, but by sounds of you she def has 1 lovely daughter
Shame you don't live here or vise versa would def have met up for a " black coffe or black tea, or maybe cup of water" haha remember LT my darling haha but hell yeah to the shopping, picking out all the new skinnier clothes for me haha and you of course.
Undertsand what you mean about tums. Thats where most of my weight goes, I HATE IT, but this diet it's coming off my tummy and face first which is great, just hope i find it easier to stick to and don't fall off the wagon. Don't think I will though, because i won't let myself xxxxx
