Hiya,
As soon as I posted that I was going to have a calmer few days I knew that I would regret it!.....anyway its gone 3am and I'm in the middle of another all-nighter trying to catch up with the endless pile of work! I'm giving myself a 10 min break so I thought I would pop on here for a few mins.
Things aren't too bad - I've popped a few too many pro pluses but apart from that and a bit of sniffle things are ok.

Thanks luv - the losses have however slowed to a snails pace - even when I have a whole week of TS I'm luck if I lose half a pound.....so could take quite a while to get to goal!! Slow and steady though is going to have to be my new mantra.
I'm also trying to look at other things like inch loss and how clothes feel to keep up the motivation.
Its also probably a good job that I have to be away from home for a couple of weeks - i don't have any scales here so its gonna be an enforced hootathon!
Hope alls well with you,
xxxxxxxx

Very wise words there Toots and very apt!!
I have ended up grinding myself down to a bit of a halt - just got back from a walking in centre - I know I have been saying I need to go to docs for the past few months, but now that I'm 200 miles away from home my body finally said enough is enough! apparently I have a chest infection and an ear infection and so I am being dosed up on antibiotics and painkillers.
I am actually fine - it was just 2 nights of major earache that pushed me over the edge and made me succumb to the quack!
Anyway- the great thing is that I'm giving myself a lazy few hours in bed this morn which means I have chance to catch up on threads on here guilt free...celebrate good times,come on!!

Really not feeling like consuming anything at the mo, but have to if I'm gonna pop any more pills.
I think I'm gonna go down stairs and make up a hot mint aero shake (mint tea and half a vanilla pack) and then try and see if I can get some work done in bed.
I know I should just try and switch off, but I also know that my deadlines are fixed and I'll just get into more of a mess and make myself worse if I get even further behind schedual.
I will take it easy though and stop if I feel too rough.
Hope everyone has a good rest of the day

Thanks ladies,
I appreciate the good advice. I tried to get on and then stopped - just wasn't up to it
- so still tucked up in bed being a good girl.....the only problem is that I don't usually have this much time to just think....my internal monologue is a touch scary!!!

Quick update,
Been feeling pretty Cr@?y - TOTM and all that goes with it decided to join in with eveything else and make me feel even better than I was before!!
Anyway, it all got a bit much yesterday - the anti-biotics were giving my tummy grief and I really just felt like dry crackers and you know how it is....one thing led to another and I ended up having custard tart and ginger biscuits and then feeling even more sick and bloated....grrr!
I'm back on track today, although the monthly tummy cramps are seriously testing my resolve.
I also feel a little out of control being away from home and not having access to scales - when I have gone off track, I like to be able to have an idea of the damage I have done - I have no idea what my weight is at the mo and I am just paranoid that I'm gonna go home in a week or two and find out that I have been putting on rather than losing - especially seeing as I am trying to slowly add a low-carb snack or meal a day in the gradual weaning off process - I just want to know the effect it is having....
I'm also feeling out of control as I am falling so far behind work, business and study wise - I keep asking myself - why oh why did I choose now to go back to uni in attempt to change careers. I am supposedly studying 'full time' but just don't have enough hours in the day to put in even a third of the time required. Also - because it is something that I am doing for me rather than a total necessity, I tend to put study way down on the priority list after work, chores, looking after general family needs etc. and I'm now in a total mess - I have a major coursework and loads of exams all within this next month. To make matters worse I'm also getting stressed as as part of my clinical practice modules, over the summer I am gonna have to strip off down to my unddies - YIKES!!! The thought of this fills me with absolute terror. I'm trying to use it as a motivator to keep on track dietwise, but even if I get to goal by then, I am still so bereft of body confidence that I just really don't think I'm gonna be able to go through with it - no amount of dieting is gonna get rid of the stretch marks, excess skin, saggy boobs.....the list is endless
I am a right grumpy cow tonight....I'll try to get out of the right side of the bed in the morning!!!
