Thanks guys,
well apparently it's been a full 12hours since I last logged on...must be something of a record for me and to be honest I was having withdrawl symptoms!
But in all honesty - i have found it's this forum that has made all the difference on this diet - not only does it whittle away the hours that would otherwise be spent eating (or productively working?!!) it has the support of some really amazing people......thank you!!
Don't know why I'm getting all misty eyed on you....
Anyway, today's been another reasonable day, after a slow start this morning it picked up the pace - dropped me little man off at nursery at lunch time, I had a biggest looser bar whilst I got down to work, worked, picked little man up, had a mint choc shake, tidied the bombsite that was the downstairs (have to tackle upstairs soon), got a load of admin that needed sorting done and that baisically takes me to now.....
I'm probably gonna try and get an early night tonight and get a bit mote done in the morning tom- we shall see.
Nighty nite
xxxx....zzzzzzz

Mornin all,
who stole the sun? It's pretty grey outside right now...hohum!
Sunlight aside , I am a very happy bunny this morning for some miraculous reason I woke up this morn without any back or pelvic pain - the first time in 4 and a half years - usually I toss and turn all night with it and for the first half hour or more after waking up I am so stiff that I look like a rusted up version of the metal man! I don't want to get my hopes up, but maybe, just maybe, the weight loss is helping - who knows maybe I will be able to go for long walks without my pelvis clicking with every step or slowly reitroduce a bit more gentle excercise.......
Another important decision made (or at least intended). I really do want to try and break my morning scale-bop ritual....again!
I'm tired of it and it's becoming too much of an obsession - first thing I do when I wake up is rush to the bathroom, use the loo (every little helps), strip down to nothing and get on the scales - there are now two possible outcomes - the usual - I'm not too happy with what I see so I jump back off, readjust the dial to zero (they are relics!) and then jump back on leaning a little to the left, still not happy I jump back off realise that the very slight lump on the bathroom floor must be affecting the Reading, move the scales to a different possition, readjust the dial, get back on, feel miserable and strop downstairs. Or, the less usual - jump on like what I see, think that it can quite be right, get off, readjust the dial to zero jump back on, the Reading is slightly less this time, jump back off to try a different spot........
Whatever the case I am sick of it so gonna try HOOTING again - not sure how long I will be able to last though......wish me luck.....
Hope everyone has a great day,
xxxx

Also great news about your back, I hope you get another good night's sleep tonight. Hopefully it's the weight loss that's making a difference and may be it will continue to get better... fingers crossed for you xxx

I used to be exactly the same with scales! I knew I couldn't control it so I threw them away lol- now go to boots once a week and use their scales

Can I ask, is hooting different from honking? I'm the same with the sales
Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins
Hooting is a whole new ball game luv, and if you ask me MUCH harder than honking!
You can only HOOT if you have battled the urge and not stepped on the scales that day...not even a sneaky peek! I guess you will know that the HONK on the other hand is sticking to your diet plan 100% for that day.
I tried HOOTING a few months back - it was too hardcore for me back then- only lasted a few days - gonna try really hard for a bit now - I'm at the stage where I think things are gonna slow down a lot and don't want to get bogged down and thrown of the rails by the insideous Little saboteurs that are my scales!!

Sounds like a good idea! The only trouble I would have is that I would still find some excuse to have to go to boots every day. That and the fact that I obsess about how much clothing/footware weighs- I would probably mentally scar for life a number of shoppers by stripping off!!
Ta very muchly by the way for the heads up on sainsbury's sparkling kiwi and strawb water - I can picture the hours you must have stood there Reading those labels!
In the past I checked about 3 and then assumed they all had citric acid in. I now have a bottle chilling nicely in the fridge!

Getting in the shower first is a great idea! I justhave to harness some of your will power now luv.
I have managed to resist them so far today...I'm quite proud of myself!
I'm off to have a vanilla latte - I know that once I have started on the shakes I am safe scales wise as I mentally feel that once I have food in me I will weigh more!
Bit of a busy day ahead, so alas not much minimins time
Hope everyone has a good day

Oh goodness I don't know if I could hoot. I've become rather obsessed lately. Is there a thread for hooting? I still don't have full internet yet
Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins
I really hope you get your internet back soon....I go to pieces without broadband - my work and study depends on it not to mention minimins!!!
There is a HOOT thread on the main exante forum page.

Thanks luv,
I prob should go to doc as I have still been having lots of th but My docs are absolutely hopeless - Even though I sometimes don't go for years at a time, they don't give me the time of day even when I have a real issue. Last time I went was back in October or november - pelvic and back problems suddenly flared up - I was in total agony, could hardly walk at all and it was painful to even sit or lie down - the woman baisically turned round and said it was because I was so fat And to go away and lose weight-I could have punched her as it was after I had lost quite a bit of weight and my whole weight problem came on as a result of being unable to walk for many months when my pelvic/back probs started not vice-versa grrr! Sorry for the rant - they just drive me mad!!

Well another day done and dusted!!
I just spent the last few hours madly batch cooking in the kitchen - I have a pretty full on week next week - gonna have to be out of the house from 6am ish through till 8 or 9 pm through till Saturday and so will not get chance to cook For the rest of the fam then. So, I made large quantities of 5 different dishes, portioned gem and then froze them - that way I can get a couple out each morning and I have the added bonus of no temptation whilst cooking. If this works out ok, it might be the way to go more generally - get the cooking all done in one go and not have to worry about anything other than salad/sides.....tempting!
I'm pretty zonked now - think I might have to hit the sack soon,
hope to catch up with threads more tom
