Thanks guys,
I'm actually ok at the moment, hubby is home from work and we've chatted, not sure if its just not sunk in or maybe i'm just a little stronger then a few years ago maybe in my heart i was expecting it.
I'm thinking positive (dawns influence
) it gives me a chance to lose weight because 20 stone and pregnant did scare me stupid and gives us time to do some saving.
I'm going to spend a few days checking out the other diets, i'm thinking if i could do a milkshake diet for a few months and lose a chunk of weight and then come back to sw. I love sw, but i eat to much on it, no willpower
Dawn, don't worry about me, i'm worrying about you xx

Feels a little weird updating after so long (5 days is a long time on minimins) and i didn't want to be negative but in all honesty this is the only place i'm ever completely honest.
Been a long old week, went back to work on Wednesday and have been doing my best 'pretend to be happy' act, it's freaking exhausting. I am ok just a bit sad but because not many people know what happened and those i do are constantly watching me like a hawk for signs of another breakdown its just easier to pretend.
The only time i broke down is when i discovered at work that due to me being off for 2 days because of how heavy the bleeding was i won't be getting my 50p pay rise. Which doesn't sound a lot but I have worked for the company for 3 years and have never had a payrise, i get £6 per hour! So because cost of living has gone up so much hubby is looking into getting another job because we're struggling so much and he's still really ill, he's had his MRI so just waiting for the results. He's getting worse, he's sleeping more, his headaches are worse, his dizziness is getting worse and more constant, its a freaking mess!
so basically in a week i lost a child, the chance to make things financially easier and i've increased the pressure on Hubby even more so now hes getting worse.
Wow that was cheerful, sorry guys just needed to get that off my chest!

Good grief things are going from bad to terrible. Hubby had more tests today and the doctors have conclusively ruled out eyes, ears and teeth and confirmed the issue is with his brain, they just don't know what yet, so more waiting for scan results and more tests.
The thing getting me through is that we're both off work together next week or at least we were. Work have decided that i can only be paid holiday for 2.5 days rather then the 6 days i'm actually off. So i'm going to have to work as we can't afford to lose money, seriously feels like they are just trying to push me over the edge and its working pretty well.

Good morning minis,
Been a while since i did a proper update, ignore yesterdays one i was umming and arring over whether to have my diary moved.
Anyway not a lot to update in all honesty, been off for a week with hubby but haven't done much as he's still pretty unwell. He turned 30 and we went to monkey world with some friends, which was fun.
I'm still floundering diet wise, attempted rosemary conley but seriously i can not handle 1200 calories a day, i passed out! So hubby has said i'm not allowed to do that anymore. I've been wallowing in self pity for almost a month now but i just can't seem to drag myself out.
I have developed an unhealthy passion for something, i'm ashamed to admit but i have recently become obessed with Tangled (Disney movie about Repunzel) i've watched every day for a week!

Oh bestie! What are we goin to do with you?
Do you think your heads in the right place to commit to a diet? Cos I'm really not sure hunni, and that's coming from someone who's genuinely worried and concerned for you xx. I do know how desperate you are to lose it, but I'm wondering if there's just too much other stuff going on?
On the other hand Nicki, giving yourself another focus to take your mind off all the other stuff might be just what you need! I remember how thrilled you were on your first week when u lost SO much...you were a different person! You were positive, organised, and really enjoying life. It was lovely to feel your confidence oozing from your posts!
But all this is just my opinion sweetie. You're such a lovely girl, with so many worries. Wish we lived nearer eachother...xx.
We are still all here for u if u wanna giv sw another go. I've had a bad few weeks, like being in a black tunnel, but with the help of everyone here I feel as tho I've almost come out the other end now. Desperately missing Dad...don't think that's ever gona stop...but I have to start picking up the pieces and trying to get back to normal xx
You could just hang out with us girlies for a while and see how you feel? No need to follow the plan...just get a feel for the support on here and see if you get motivated into trying again? We'd all love to have you around...and I miss my updates on my little bunny niece Maisie! Xx
Take care bestie, lots of love xx

Prob not in the right frame of mind, having said that i've pretty much been doing sw for the last few weeks without thinking about it, just with a lot of crisps and chocolate in between.
I wish we lived nearer, it would be lovely. Its good that you're almost out the tunnel. As for the desperatly missing him, it does fade and becomes barable, don't get me wrong you never, ever forget but it gets easier, memories make you smile not cry, its not a constant ache.
Will prob just plod along and see what happens, have to say though i do miss slimming world, my tummy constantly hurts again from various junk food assults! and i haven't been on the scales recently but i must have put most if not all my weight back on.
I'll update you on maisie in one word MONSTER! She has turned into quite a little madam but you can't be mad at her because she is so damn cute

hmmm its 5pm and i'm drunk and bored, this could be a very interesting evening, I haven't drank in over a year and somehow managed to polish off a bottle of cava in an hour had it with fresh orange if thats any better, bucks fizz rules.
I'm going to try and persuade hubster to buy me an online membership to sw because i don't want to go back to class. Can't see it happening but it would be pretty awesome. I miss sw and i miss my friends i've made at on here, well the 3 or 4 of you that come and see meeeeee.

aw nicki i'm glad to see you posting again. i was just wondering last night how you were getting on.
i had online membership with sw but to be honest it wasn't that great. I find the advice and recipe ideas were just as good on here (and free) why not join a sw team (queen size to princess is the best), and a weekly weighin in thread. if you need books/magazines look at ebay there's hundred of cheap ones up there. you don't need to go to class/ be joined up online to do this plan well. i'm doing it with just this forum now to save a few pennies.
Just keep plodding on hun, you'll get there one day!! we all will!!
((((((((squeeeezy hugs))))))))

OH. MY. GOD. I'm in so much pain, i have no idea where that came from and when i say that i mean drinking 3 bottles of wine and losing the plot. I don't remember much of last night, but i believe there was a lot of singing. I didn't even eat yesterday and i'm not in a good state to be thinking about food.

Hubby has updated me about last night and apparently there was a lot of singing, a lot of crying and a lot of pretending not to be drunk. I'm rather glad i don't remember to be honest but i feel incredibly guilty because i know Steve is now worrying about me.
Anyway I know i've been faffing around for a month or so but i'm finally fed up! I'm sticking with what i know, I am going to sign up online because i need the syns. I know i asked Steve yesterday but i can not remember what he said, but if he can help with the upfront payment then i'll be joining tonight and if not it will be a couple of weeks but i have the books so won't matter that much.
I'm back at work tomorrow after 10 days off and i really don't want to go back, knowing i have to go back and ask to go full time is making it worse.

Hiya bestie!
Sobered up yet? Lol! Must have been quite a nite!
Why don't u wana go back to class hun? I've never been an online member as I need the discipline of official weigh ins to keep me on the straight and narrow! I have heard other members say they get more support and advice from minis than they do from the sw site...and its free!
Hope work goes ok tomorrow for you xx. Maybe you will only need to work full time for a short while? I'm thinking about going bak full time too xx
Take care, speak tomorrow xx
