Lol Shaza chill with the still...
Nice to hear you had a good busy weeknd in the sun
What crystals are good for healing then.
I wear 1 for energy as i get tired a lot with my thyroid
Today i have decided that I will start my journey to achieve my diploma in social work (i'm following what the meduim has said to the letter on this one!) She has said that the job that wil set me up for life will come next year, guess i've got to give it a helping hand.
I've been putting it off for too long and the time is nigh.
So I have to do an access course before i can go to university and get the diploma so I can either do the access course :-
a)part time for 2 years and still work
b) full time for 1 year and not earn a wage
I know what i'd like to do but i have to be realistic and do it for the 2 years.
Also my son is very concerned that come christmas he won't get anything because i shall be a smelly n skint student, bless he had his ears chewed off for being so selfish and materalistic (my fault i know)
This weekend i had a ot of heart to hearts with some loved ones. I feel much better for speaking out.
I listened to my sister cry and shout about her selfish OH and finally told her that there is no hope of him getting with the programme isf she keeps taking him back after he has done the inexcusable.
Told my eldest brother to get with the programme stop thinking that having a woman is the be all and end all especaily if he can't find it in himself to love himself first. Then drinking to cover the cracks he did tell me that i do his head in because i am speaking the truth.
Just got to take my own advice somemore and everything will be bang to rights
Had discussion with my OH over the weekend about my current weight and when he will be happy with me.
As i will put my hands up and say that i want my OH to be proud of me and still find me attactive etc etc.
At first he said he wanted me to be happy( sounded like a cop out to me ) and I told him i am happy with myself then he said he would like me to lose another stone. So i will lose the next 2 as planned and we will both be happy. I'm not going to set a timescale to it because i am not adding any pressure i shall be taking the scenic route these last 2 stone and maybe it will stay off for longer if i lose it slower
Feeling tired today but i guess that because i was in a eat what i want weeknd and not beat myself up about it. Trousers are feeling a bit tight today, got a works night out onb Friday and i wanna feel nice for that so i will do SS for the remainder of the week

Been in a crappy mood today and the penny dropped this evening that i haven't smoked for 3 nights which may be the reason why i'm so soooo crabby.
Everything is irriatating me told my OH to P**s off to work today. He hates me smoking and has been seriously happy today and it's got on my wick.
I only started smoking socially at the age of 18 and only smoke on the evening after all jobs are done but i can smoke like a trooper when i've had alcohol.
I smoked my last ciggarette on saturday evening and never bought anymore.
I guess i have conditioned myself that smoking stops me eating on an evening and relaxes me and I have to stop replaces 'this for that'
Not sure if I should be trying to tackle so much at once but i feel that i need to make some changes that aren't all weight related.
Did a day on CD today, felt hungry earlier and happened to see someones before and after pic and it really helped.
Will have my last tetra in the next 10 minute

Oh Mandie
Great decision to go to university and do what you really really want, tell your son that you will spend more time with him at xmas and that material things will not make him happy (not that he will listen kids today are under tremendous peer pressure to have the latest trainers games etc)
I think you are at a cross road in your life and tackling all the things that are negative to your soul is a really really positive idea
Yes do the weight and the smoking thing and the education all together and grow into the Mandie you always wanted to be
I am not sure about which crystal is for what but I am starting a healing course soon where I am doing Reiki and I can opt to do crystal healing so I will let you know
Use amethyst don't know why I just get the feeling that is what you need at the moment.
Luv Luv

Good idea never thought of that
and that material things will not make him happy (not that he will listen kids today are under tremendous peer pressure to have the latest trainers games etc)
Going to have a sort out all the hordes of stuff we never use and do a car boot so that should get some money for the kitty and be a good lesson to my son about making money out of things he doesn't need.

This is so true and sounds good to hear it back, from someone who is on my wavelength. Just feel like my changes have got to be for me and for the better of me and my family
Yes do the weight and the smoking thing and the education all together and grow into the Mandie you always wanted to be
You are so right, it made me fill up:tear_drop::tear_drop: got to stop them there thoughts, that when i'm feeling life is postive something will knock me back.

Hi Mands darling or should that be "Smelly Skinted Student"? lol
Sound like the pieces of your life are coming together nicely ... as you would say "nce1"
Well done on taking the plunge with the diploma! It's not going to do you ANY harm.
I'm a non-smoker so I'm pleased you are trying to tackle your addiction to that. (didn't mean to sound patronising ... sorry)
Additionally .... 2 stones .. scenic route ... thats the BEST route in my opinion especially the latter stages. But what the hell do I really know?!
I'm still loving you honey. You are an absolute gem.
Take care and you have my number if you want to chat etc.
Lots of luv cc

Well done Mandie on the quitting smoking. I starterd as a social smoker at 13 and by the time I was 20 I was buying if not actually smoking 2 packets a day. Then luckily for me i found a lump in my breast ... scared me stiff. Went for biopsy etc and it was only fatty tissue or something harmless - but had scared me enough to quit. Best thing i dii for my health and wealth ... well not sure about the last one, as I'm still sking, but then i went onto have 3 kids so..... !!!!
Great news about going to do a diploma in social work. Good for you. I am sure you will do well.
As for the weight - do what you want and how you want ...... you look stunning now so goodness knows how fantastic you'll look with another stone or 2 off.
Well done for speaking out to your family too - I'm doing a bit of that myself to my mum .... it is very empowering and you seem to be in a good place now - and i'm sure you will feel so much better once all the cravings have disappeared.

I really hope so, my past crooked thinking of always being negative then if things go wrong then it won't be a surprise....

Thats what I thought:really stepping out of my comfort zone
I'm a non-smoker so I'm pleased you are trying to tackle your addiction to that. (didn't mean to sound patronising ... sorry
No its true and i am on my 2nd week and doing good
Additionally .... 2 stones .. scenic route ... thats the BEST route in my opinion especially the latter stages. But what the hell do I really know?!
Its good to know that a bit of both is good rather than all or nothing
I'm still loving you honey. You are an absolute gem.
Awww thanks, the feeling is mutual
Take care and you have my number if you want to chat etc.
Lots of luv cc
Thanks for your support and encouragement
Hi Shar pmsl at signing on over the phone what will they think of next. As for what to do its good to do nowt for now and mull over your choices etc. I have every faith in you Shar.
Well done Mandie on the quitting smoking. I starterd as a social smoker at 13
thats why i have to do it for health reasons. I will be shocked to go on and have 3 more kids but they say smoking makes you infertile
Great news about going to do a diploma in social work. Good for you. I am sure you will do well.
Thanks Bev,

Non smoking malarky going good now into my 2nd week and just as i get over the narkiness of nicotine withdrawals its nearly TOTM and PMT my poor ole OH (not) he hasn't even got the change to go through, doesn't look like he will have a middle age spread either.
Right going to stop my man bashing as he seems keen to put up with a life time of me ah bless...

Hi Shar its great to read your so upbeat you put my misery @rse to shame.
Jolly roger indeed as long as your friend has fun and you get to hear all the goss.
Well i told my boss during my supervison of my plans for September and he was so so shocked but told me that he wouldn't and couldn't stop me. He gave me great advice and support being as he is been a social worker for may years. He was getting all excited for me had a careers adive session off him
Silly bint me! started to wonder if he was glad to get rid of me, crushed that thought. He told me that he could see me being a senior pracitioner in a few years so i left feeling really fantastic and determined.
Oh still stopped smoking sheesh had to talk myself through a craving, if only i could do that b4 i reach for the junk....
Hope you enjoy the quiz and show em how its done

Well done on the no smoking Mandi - what are you going to spend all your money on??? Think you should save up what you would have spent on ciggies and have a splurge on something you wouldn't normally buy or a real pampering treat. (Maybe treat OH if he's been good too???!!!)
Well a week has flown by since I was last online and I still find myself optimistic about a lot of things in my life. Non Smoking is going well and I havent had a puff on one at all.
I do have to admit that I'm very irritable(what again)pmsl honest its because i have been 2days SS.
Went to see a new CDC in Aldridge and she was very good, she's very fast paced but i like that. My Sister (has just had keyhole surgery on her knee)and my Niece(just had a baby 3months ago) came as well so we all ahve our own reasons for CD and are keeping each other company.
I've decided that i've got to get to goal by September as I need to cut back on my outgoings when at college and not spending so much on CD will be a help.

Well i have faffed and faffed about and emotionally im battered and bruised. I have been struggling with CD for too long now that i have decided to take a break from it all together because it sure is better than having a good day and then bingeing from dusk til dawn. I realise that the destructive eating pattern is not the way to go anymore.
So i sit typing and try not to dwell on how slim i could have been by now and try to focus on the fact that healthy eating is better than massive carb binges untill( if ever )i am able to SS again.
