Big Boys Need Love Too!

[Fattyfattyboomboom]

gem...thanks...yeah...sorry about that...just needed to shed a bit of anger. To be honest, if you guys knew the whole lot, you'd think I was a saint!! *LOL*

Abz...good idea....sorry about the crisps though. Does it just stink when something liek that happens... Just think....maybe they will all be stale. hahaha

Taz....that is a lot of partying...Wish i could do that on my b-day, but sadly I am a boxing day baby. So most places are closed, or people are tapped out....or still hung over...and people eat left overs on boxing day....so no point. i was thinking of moving my b-day to june...but then it just didn't feel right...hahaha.

 

[Taz]

But Jenn, at least you can claim Christmas as your whole birthday!

 

[abz]

i had two birthdays this year my bday is in january. so we went out for a meal with my close friends for my bday and then had a party at my house for my other friends. the two groups don't really mesh that well, ha. so it was really nice they get on but conversation can get stinted as one lot is from work so there's a lot of in jokes and one lot are guys i lived with at uni and all our friends through that. i think celebrating twice is a fab idea and for thomas's in september we are going to denmark and having a party with his entire family, or dinner or something. we're going out for dinner and then back to someone's house for drinks with his friends and then on the day we get back we're going out for dinner and drinking with all our friends from home. see how i did that? organising it on the day we get back so i can still eat?? hee.

oh to have an international lifestyle

:character00238: Hehehe! Mr Sun's a southerner today abz :character00238: Feeling hot! hot! hot!

Jenn - Be like the Queen and have a real birthday and an official birthday, that way you get the best of both - and no apology needed. If you need to rant, then rant! x

Taz - Shame your parents weren't there to see Mr Taz do his circus act but I'm sure you had the best of both worlds - the friends fun and the family thing (s) x

First Tyn goes missing now we have Elle AWOL! What's going on? Of course you do realise that between them they won't let those shiney red shoes go so they could have clicked off anywhere x

:bliss:​

 

[Taz]

Tyn and Elle AWOL together?! If I didn't know better...

OMG! - Lady from Swindon got brain damage from drinking too much water on a detox diet (5 litres on the day she went to hospital) recommended 2 - 4 pints a day on news item. Lady won something like £810,000 in damages against the nutritionalist.

 

[Taz]

Yeah there have been quite a few threads about it in the VLCD forums!

 

[abz]

scary. i try to drink about 4 litres a day. in fact i get thirsty now if i don't!!

much more than that though and i got nasty cystitis when i drank up to 5 so i dropped down to four again...

[abz]

i am feeling really low at the moment. my best friend has lymphoma and she found out yesterday that it hasn't spread much and she starts her chemo on thursday. my mum has been on holiday so i was just telling her about it. and in telling someone else i think it's really hit me... i don't know what to do with myself now... and of course, the first thing i want to do is eat... and you know, i might get me a low carb something. even though i know it won't make me better... i was thinking about doing it before as i bought a gym ball today and have been doing the exercises and am shaking with low energy so i was thinking about getting something and then thinking i wouldn't but this has put me over the edge i think

gem....wow!! Well on CD I was drinking between 4.5 and 5.5 litres a day, but my personal trainer told me I should be drinking 6+ litres a day for my size. But obviously smaller people smaller amounts. The thrist thing I know can be a sign of diabetes. I have cut down now though since I am doing SW but I still drink at least 3. But that is actually all I drink. I don't drink tea, coffee or even LC soft drinks or anything.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Going the the air show and beach with LU and OH. Should be a good show as tomorrow is going to sunny sunny sunny. * is this love, is this love, is this love that I am feelin'* Goody old bob in my head...ain't nothing like the tunes!! But looking forward to a good day out and maybe even a decent tan!! *LOL* I am sure I am the white mexican anyone has ever seen...hahaha.

Gem....thanks.

Abz....you're are our very on ms. bond!! hahaha

 

[Gemstone]

Have something to eat if you like abz but do it from your head, not from your emotions. Make a conscious decision. The water thing was primarily because it was leaching essential things like sodium and potassium from the woman's body. She became incoherent and was fitting. She is now brain damaged and epileptic. If you're bothered by this get a second opinion about what you are doing. I don't know enough about it to give an informed opinion but I agree it is scary. x

 

[abz]

well i think i will eat something. the shaky feeling isn't going away and it's really uncomfortable..

ms bond? what? i don't understand?

Hey Jenn, I used to have a Bob Marley ringtone on my mobile like that!
Water - I try to drink around 1 3/4 - 2 litres a day plus coffee. Don't always manage that but it evens out quite well. It seems about right for me. This woman was 12 st something and I'm a lot more than that. If you have had any dealings with elderly people (that's older than me) you will find that a lot of them are on BP tablet and water tablets (the latter getting rid of water from the body) Quite often they become deficient in sodium and potassium and it can look like the onset of dementia unless it is picked up from tests. My Dad had that problem when he was ill and he thought I was his mother. Once regulated his mind was ok but this poor woman is not going to get better unfortunately. x

 

[Taz]

If you are drinking that much water you really should be taking in salt. Water dilutes the sodium and too much will get rid of all of it and that's what happened to this woman.

I drink at least 1-1.5 litres a day plus 3 cups of green tea then another litre when doing MA's.

 

[Taz]

Abz hun, you are probably in shock, you need sugar for that. Usually a sweet cup of tea is good and a couple of biscuits x

 

[Martyn]

Hey girls,

I am still alive, i broke my internet cable (again) So been internetless. Found a way around it for the time being, but means i gotta be downstairs to use it. Which sucks but meh. I have the house to myself so its all fine! (Well, apart from being alone for the first time in 23 years!)

I got a bit sicky after my night out, think i hurt my stomach and cheast when i was heaving. But i am ok now.

Eating loads of crap tho, i tell myself i shouldn't but i have no will power at all recently lol.

I am not to concerned tho, i am in the state yet to go back to actually caring about my weight, i am just waiting for september! lol.

So, what did i miss?

xx

 

[Taz]

Good to see you back Tyn. First time in 23 years eh? I love having the house to myself every now ant then

 

[abz]

hey tyn. i lived alone for about nine months. weirdest thing ever after living in shared housing and then with my ex. then OH came over from denmark and i was like 'right. off to the pub. oh for god's sake. what do you mean you have to do your hair. does this mean i have to WAIT??' hee. i got so used to being on my own and doing things my own way i had to readjust...

i have had a fu yung when OH got his takeaway so it shouldn't take me out of ketosis. am sooooo full now though. still feeling naff, not about the diet but just stuff in general *sigh*. ah well. at least i have a few days off now i am meeting up with a mate i haven't seen for a month or two tomorrow and then probably watching films with another friend on friday and then meeting up with another one friday night so i've surrounded myself with people, ha. then on sunday night we're off to the IMAX to see batman!! woooooohooooooooooo. can't wait

TYN!! so so good to see you back. hasn't been the same without you babes!!

abz xx

 

[Fattyfattyboomboom]

Hey tyn, nice to see you're up and about. Wondered what happened to you.

Taz...well I am sure thre is salt in what I eat. I'e never had a problem so I am not too concerned. I mean I used to get dizzy SSing, but I think that was the food thing and not the water. I have noticed since I am not SSing any more I have cut m y water intake. I am not so worried about having so much. But I love my water, and I make sure that I drink plenty so as not to want to eat when i am actually thirsty.

Gem...yeah love the music. It is great how music can effect the mood. There are a few songs I love and that when i listen to them...I just feel good and happy. Plus the sunshine helps...!!

Abz...maybe it is just your TOTM. I was so shocked my programme that I have to tell when I am "able to concieve" has managed to predict my TOTM, cuz normally I can't tell anything. But I am chuffed though. I should have listened to it today. hahaha. Oh well.

Just looking forward to tomorrow. We haven't had a day out like this for a while and I love it. Got a cab coming at 10am to get us as the show starts at 11 or so. But won't stay all day as LU is bound to get tired. But I am sure he will love playing in the sand, and OH happy with a cold beer or two. And me with my water...haha. It is meant to be nice and hot and sunny, so out with the boob tube so i can get a tan with no marks...and hopefully not burned. I am lucky enough that when I get some sun I get a good tan....but I am not a sun worshipper. I am very careful...especially about my face so that will be full shadded,plus I have to constant ensure that LU is all creamed up!!

holy cow, OH just found something on the news about some guy who is living in IR and he tried to killed his girlfriend and tried to kill her 3 year old daughter too....and they did a photo enhancement thing and it looks to be one of the jaime bulgar killers who was renamed sean walsh. The woman was PG. he was sentance to 15 years....But the markings on the face and the progressing looks EXACTLY the same. SICK SICK SICK!!! It said he had previous convictions as a juvenile in the UK but police will not identify him as one to the killers.....

That poor little boy and that poor girl and for child. It makes me sick. That is the thing about this country, things are so leanient over her. They should be more like my home in texas and punish those who commit crimes instead of letting people get away with things with little consequence and the ability to repeat there actions. it just makes me so angry. I worry so much about the world we live in especially with my son. I have long since taught him about people touching him or trying to take off with him. He knows exactly what to do. And I test him. It is sad that at 3 I have to do it...but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Even this past weekend when we went to the airfield. My friends mum too my son into the cafe ( 50 yards away) and i was worried because I could see him. My mate said " he's fine, my family are all here and everyone will look after him! Sorry worrying so much!" But I thought...well that is fine for you to say....but my son only met most of them for the first time an hour ago, plus there are people we don't know. Who is to say someone won't do something or run off with him. I would rather be over protective of him than to just not care and let him wonder off!!

Statistically it is unlikely that a child will come to harm from an abductor but it doesn't stop you worrying as a parent.

There is also danger in over protection, independence does not develop and that makes the child/young person vulnerable.

When a child is growing up it makes sense to let the rope out gradually or they will suddenly rebel and will be out in the big wide world unprepared.

Not that you have to worry too much while he is only 3 but at 5 he will be in school and you won't be able to watch his every move. It's scary being a parent - you see every danger before it happens. x
