Bev - Round 2

A poached egg with salad is delicious, runny yolk with lettuce ;)
 
Walking in from work to see my mum and dad later. More arrangements about the holiday this year. Mum phoned me last night and was chatting for ages, seems like she really needs to talk to someone so will see her later. Haven't seen them for a couple of weeks so will be nice to catch up some more.

For those that already know my situation with my sister (we haven't spoken for over 10 years) my mum told me last night that she now isn't speaking to either of our brothers or our sister-in-law! What is her problem. She's really cut herself away from everybody, silly girl! Get more gossip on what's going on there later I expect.
 
Bev, enjoy your visit with your parents. It is a pity about your sister. In time she may mellow. My brother was the same for about twelve years. He is back talking like nothing ever happened!! So who knows what goes on in their minds!!
Enjoy the poached eggs.much better for us than fried so good news on the diet front.
 
Families...........true saying, you can pick your friends, but you cant pick your family!

Hope all sorts itself out eventually and have a nice catch-up with your Parents.
 
Oh God! Families!! :eek: xx
 
Hope your evening went ok with you mum and dad Bev :D x
 
Enjoyed seeing mum and dad last night. I sometimes bump into them in town but I hadn't visited them for about 3 weeks. (naughty me!)

Mum said my sister just deleted my brother from facebook for no reason. My brother doesn't care, he doesn't care about things like that but has no idea what he has done to make her do that. Mum said she is very bitter and jealous of everyone. She recently got remarried so what has she got to be jealous of? I will never, ever understand her. Don't know where she gets her attitude from cos she's the only one in the family that acts like that.

Off to badminton later for some more sweating. Hubby off to gym first then joining us later.

You'll all be glad to know that I am having poached eggs for tea tonight!!! About time. I'm really looking forward to them too.
 
Aww shame about your sister Bev but it's her problem and just let her ride it out. My grandma was in the same situation for years (although she knew why her brother didnt speak to her) but she wasnt going to give in as she knew she had done nothing wrong then 30odd years later, maybe even more, he got in contact with her.

Enjoy your poached eggs :) xxx
 
Hope you enjoyed the eggs Bev :)

Some people are just impossible to understand - and it's maybe best not to even try - just get on with your own life and maybe all will become clear at some point but if not? Well - it's their loss in the end! xx
 
Haven't been on for a few days, haven't been very well. Had a really sore throat, followed by a bad cold and now a cough. Great! Back to work today and feeling a lot better than I did over the weekend.

Mum and dad have decided to get another dog. They're going to rehome a little jack russell cross, called Marnie. She was found wondering the streets and was picked up. They have a house check this week and by weekend they should have her home. So glad for them. They were really missing a little friend. Can't believe it's been about 6 months since they lost their little dog.

Food been OK lately but must control my snacking more. Meals are OK it's just what I eat in between that's got to stop. It's a non-stop battle!!
 
Sorry you've not been too good Bev - hope you're soon back to full health :)
Good news about the little doggie ... ahhh :) xx
 
I hope they have many years of fun and love with the new dog.
My neighbour has been ill for two weeks with cold, sore throat, and now her ribs are really hurting her with all the coughing - I have told her she needs to get herself to the Docs and get checked up.
 
Sounds like good advice! xx
 
About to bite the bullet and start Exante. I know it's what I need to do. I have put on about 3 stones since finishing LT last August. It's a huge amount as I find maintaining so hard. I get control of my food then lose it again. I exercise loads too but just can't control my stupid binging!

My daughter's wedding for next April has been cancelled as her fiance's being sent to Afghanistan sometime in February. They want to get married this August instead! August! That's no time. I don't want to look back at photos feeling like a hippo knowing I can look so much better. I also have my holiday at the end of June but I'm not so bothered about that to be honest. Just need to get rid of the bulk again. I'm not setting a goal of what I want to lose though, will be happy with whatever I lose. I feel like such a failure too!

I'm about to order my exante and get started as soon as possible.

I will still be coming on here cos I like you all so much and want to keep up to date with you all. I wish I could maintain like some of you, you have a lot more control than me, that's for sure.

Keep up the good work and I will be back maintaining soon (hopefully!).
 
Bev, I feel for you. Once we tend towards putting on weight, it will always be a battle to keep it off.
A couple of pounds a week and old habits soon combine to put us back on the road to where we have come from. At least you have a decision made to go into a weightloss mindset now. Exante is your choice of plan and you will focus 100% on it. You have the added benefit of your daughters wedding as a great goal.
Try and use your time on TFR to focus on your relationship with food. I believe that it is so important for us to understand why, when and what we eat in order to manage our weight.
Good luck for your restart. Stay busy and drink loads of water.
 
feel for you too cause ive gained weight as well over the last three months and its a devil trying to get back into the right frame of mind to lose it again..yourll do it though...your determined and have a goal in mind :) good luck

h x
 
Good luck with Exsnte! And listen lady, dont even think about giving yourself a hard time or getting down! Ur taking positive action and that something to be congratulated for!! I too, think the move of wedding date cud have a helpful silver lining for you! Wey to go missus - u can do it!!!
 
Good luck Bev I'm sure that you will be well and truly gorgeous by the time that you get to be Mother of the Bride who, let's face it, all eyes will be on almost as much as the bride:eek:

I hope you don't mind asking but is it just the bingeing that you have a problem with? Do you have any idea why? There's usually an underlying reason for why we over-eat and if you could work that out maybe you could maintain better? I only ever binge if I'm in pain or alone, fortunately the pain bit is sorted but I still think about having three bits of toast some mornings but wouldn't dream of doing that when Paul and I are breakfasting together......

When you get back to target why don't you join us on here and detail everything that you eat......then we can tell you off!
