Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

Thanks Angela... I think it's worse up by you, but not sure how much worse it CAN be... buses not running today cos of black ice... it's like an ice rink out there. We have everything crossed, hoping our friends will still make it up tomorrow for Hogmanay...

Hope we all get a thaw soon! Happy New Year Angela, hope it's a good one for you & yours!

Oh dear Katy, you have had awful weather. Poor you, I hope all the friends make it tomorrow, for the party!
The 10" of snow we were warned was sure to come hasn't. It's bitterly cold and the ice we've had for weeks is still here, making driving along the lanes an exciting experience! Good job I'm not precious about my 'new' car any more!

I wish you and your family the very happiest of New Years. xxx
 
Happy New Year to you too, Bess, and thanks for all your lovely support in 2009... hope you have a great time as the old year gives way to the new, and that it brings new chances, new starts and a sleighful of health, hope and happiness for all of us.

I guess as long as everyone stays safe, that's the main thing - a quiet New Year or a mad-crazy one, we'll still have fun.

Happy New Year Katy!
Wishing you a fabulous & gorgeous 2010!

Hi Katy, how's things? Have you recovered from the celebrations and the visitors yet? I have decided not to panic and get miserable about weight gain, but to celebrate what I did achieve last year and plod on now, concentrating on not overdoing it. Small steps for me. xx
 
I think that is the way to go.

I am lurking, not posting much... I looked back and saw I was saying it'd either be a quiet New Year or a mad-crazy one, and it was the latter, and not in a good way really. Someone who came to our party behaved very, very badly and upset me and a lot of other people... because we wouldn't let her drive away into the night while paralytic/hysterical on ice-rink roads, with her 11 year in the car, because of a fight over nothing she'd had with her partner. I didn't want it on my conscience, she obviously has problems (have seen her act this way so many times before) but the levels of attention-seeking/spite/childishness were unreal. So things were traumatic to say the least, and the revellers who could get away politely did, and we were left mopping up the mess... they left together about 8.30, and got home safely, thank god. It is a very difficult situation as she is the partner of my OH's best friend, and we love him very much... and also feel for her daughter, who is lovely, and so, so didn't deserve any of that.

On plus side... had one of my best friends in the world there with me, as well as many other lovely people... we set off a sky lantern at midnight, teens running along road with it trying to get it to take off, and it did... we'd all written our dreams and wishes onto it, so hopefully the lantern will take them somewhere lovely and slowly they will all come true.

Another (minor) highlight was the big old fashioned radiator coming off the wall in hall... eek... in middle of party. Someone must have sat on it. Next day, more revels unfolded, and the radiator became part of it... one guest decided to fix it for us... a living room & kitchen full of assorted first-footers all partying and sipping whisky & Baileys while OH, nominated plumbers assistant, ferried trays of black water thru to sink as the system was drained... chaos.... I think I have had enough of chaos now!

So. Eventful. I am back on straight & narrow as of now, and agree that a no-panic policy is the only way to go. Big hugs to my lovely minis friends... let's get some routine and some normailty back.

I totally agree with you, I could panic, I think post Xmas I was panicking - hence thinking of jumping back to 810 was best, but logically I know would be the wrong thing for me, so comfortably I know 1000 is the right way for me to go...so that's what I'm doing. I know I can comfortably eat on 1000 and lose weight too, and it's not like my goals are huge now...big yes, but not huge.

So, here we are, all together in this forum, and starting the new year, not going to panic, going to comfortably lose this weight...oh yes we are :) xxx
 
What an end to the, year bless you Katy:hug99:I think alcohol has alot to do with domestics.
The lantern was a fantastic idea bet it looked lovely. I always remember a programme where they did that at a summer wedding. One floated off and set a tree on fire lol.
Hope getting back on track is easy for you as its been a nightmare for me. Heres to CD 2010 x
 
I am not expecting it to be easy, have been SO bad over last few weeks... but feel like I NEED the discipline of cal counting now... AlexM, I think 1000 sounds do-able as well... I had been thinking of 810 but if I can settle into 1000 that would be better.

Hoping for a positive & happy new year, and hope that the sky lantern didn't burn down any trees...

I wanted to run to 810 (or even SS) but I know it's the wrong way for me really to go, and it's just a safety net really (for me anyway) and I have really been enjoying the exercise on 1000 and all the fruit etc and being over 6 stone lighter, should I really feel that I should restrict myself back to 810 again? I think 1000 IS strict enough but allows just that little bit of choice on fruits and a little on evening meals for us still to learn, but still to let 'life' go on a bit more normally than what 810 can do at times, and I put a lot of social stuff on hold last year in order to get this weight off, so I've got to get to a point of enjoying it a little I suppose...just got to practise what I preach!
We have a meal at a friends next Saturday and I'm already worried, I have asked already for a very small portion...but they don't really 'do' small portions, however, I fully intend to have a 100% CD week, and to eat a small portion no matter what they do give me, even if it does feel somewhat rude.

Ooh Katy, what a New Year! xx

Stick to your guns at the meal, there should be some food you can eat plenty of (salad/veg?) so they aren't offended though? I had a guest who asked particularly if I would make trifle, because she loves mine. I thought it was a bit odd because she's very, very thin and has some very serious issues about food. Anyway I made the trifle and a yummy nut loaf for her (she's a veggie) with a mildly spiced tomato sauce. (The main meal was beef.) All was on the table, and most of us had a little nut loaf as well but she ate a teaspoonful of it, a teaspoonful of sauce, sprouts and a few chestnuts and some of the red cabbage, onion and apple cooked in vinegar. No carbs at all. No roasties, parsnips, carrots. And of course no wine or pudding either, of any kind.
But she talked about food all the time, constantly commenting on how much she'd eaten. It's so very sad. She's revoltingly thin, knows she has a problem and is a real control freak - driven her family mad for years. Poor woman.
I know that this next bit isn't in perspective and she's very extreme and I think ill, but I can't bear to watch food like this and it's one of the reasons which puts me off calorie counting.
Sorry, gone off on a tangent there a bit, on Katy's thread. Claire, love your positive attitude though, hoping it rubs off on me! xx
 
my thread likes your tangents...

:) Thank you

I text the said friends again tonight as they asked about something about the meal, and just said about please please can I have small portion as really want to complete what I started in 2009, and have had a kind reply with they may not be so good with portions but they won't be offended with my only eating 'what I can' so that's fine, makes me happy, and that's what makes a good friend too, and means I don't have to make a big issue about it on the evening either = a much nicer evening, not revolving around the food.
