Hey everyone,sorry have not responded to your messages,have not really been on the site and when i have logged on for 5 mins i have never even looked at my diary thread.

Since i have been officially taken off ssing i have tried to be posiitve but it has been very hard for me.
I have been feeling low and preety vulnerable and not really wanting to even talk to anyone,this morning i decided that i had to pull myself together and stop wallowing in self pity and sort things out.

I ordered an amazng book,"The diet doctors inside and out" and have started reading in and i have realised how deficient my body is of minerals and essential vitamins and this has been like this for so long,no wonder i have so many health probs and suffering from depression.
Although i am following a low gi diet i am going to try and incorporate as much as i can from their diet plans as it is mostly natural foods,pulses and fruit and veg and see if i can slowly but surely make myself feel healthier,lose weight and stop being depressed.
I have decided that i cant do this on my own and i need to be weighed each week so i went back to Sw tonight,have gianed 10 lbs in the last 5 weeks,but am not bothered about that,i know alot of that is water retention.
So step by step i am going to try again.

Hi Roch,

As Mini told me recently - keep chipping away at it! I have had more re-starts than I care to remember but overall I have lost 2 stone in the past 2 years by "chipping away" and not giving up.
Im also on a re-start today - fell off the wagon in style for the past 3 days but its now in the past and I am back on track today. Are you doing GI or going for SW? I so know the feeling where I have jumped from one diet plan to the other desperately trying to find a plan that I liked and that worked. Reading books and hoping that something will "click" enough and that will be my saviour. What I have discovered is that they all work if followed but they all have their "down sides" and it was those that I found difficult. With WW I often ran out of points before dinner and hated counting points! With Rosemary Conley I couldnt eat enough of my favourite foods because they were more than 5% fat and her treat allowance was quite small, Atkins - I missed carbs way too much etc etc I could go on all night!

I ate like it was christmas day everyday for years and its payback time! I now have to pay it back by loosing the weight and forgoing some of what I want to eat or I will pay it back by continuing on like this with a serious disease or a shorter life. It is my decision and it is a choice I make each and every day. Its been said a million times but it is so true - it really is one day at a time, make the most of each one.

((HUGS)))

Morning Andi,how r u doing.What Mini said to u is soooo right if only i had not given up on myself and been contented with tiny losses.
Although i have rejoined Sw it is mainly to get weighed but diet wise beacuse i have a few medical probs i am going to follow the low gi diet but also integrated with lots of natural foods to try and reverse the health probs i have,i read a wicked book called the "diet doctors inside and out" and it amazed me and also shocked me to see what damage i have done to my body and organs by eating rubbish for so many years.

Are u doing Paul M,if so how r u doing on it.Looking forward 2 chatting 2 u,hope u have a good day xx


Morning Geri,how r u doing hun,what u been up 2,seem to miss u online most of the time.
How is ssing going for u,will try and catch up with u later xxxx

Morning Irene,hows r u doing and how has ur week been.Hope u have a good weeknd xx


Well like i said been reading the diet doctors inside and out and i realise what damage i have caused by over eating and how lacking of nutrients my body is so that is something i inted to change as of now.
Also i want 2 work very hard on learning to accept myself and not be bothered what others say or think as i think that is one of the reasons why i dont go out very often.

I would luv 2 drop 2 clothes sizes by christmas so i can wear some of the lovely clothes i have in my wardrobe and not be restricted like i am now,and the clothes i cant wear are all brand new from a size 32 down to a size 22 never been touched.

Well am off now hope u all have a good day.

I have put a campaign up in the news thread called" the million children" it is a campaign run by "Shelter Charity" and its just asking for signatures so they can raise awareness to how many children and families are threatened with eveiction from their homes and alot of them end up homeless or living in apalling situations.
So pls could u spare 2 mins and sign the campaign its for such a good cause,thanks xxxxx

[canireallydothis!!]

hiya roch,

Great to see you posting again.

Life is so bluddy hard at times, hurdle after hurdle, but, you amaze me how you pick up and start again, and you inspire me too for that.

Things havent been easy in your life but you still want to do this and I fully beleive you will.

You go girl, if it is slow and steady but it sorts your health out then that is a major thing.

Good Luck and keep posting!!

Hi Roch!

You can definately lose 2 dress sizes by xmas! You and me both!

I think that it is great that you posted about the shelter charity, more needs to be done to draw awareness to the problem of homelessness with women and children especially.
When I was in high school I volunteered every week at a family homeless shelter and I tell you those kids are so innocent, I along with a church group would go and help them with their homework (they get so far behind because usually they are put into and pulled out of so many school districts due to the constant moving about) and play with them, as the adults at the shelter I went to usually didn't pay them any attention............
It's really sad.

 

[Barb]

Hi Roch, missed you! Glad you are back in the fight! You can do this, go the scenic route, learn healthy new habits and it will all come together.
Love

 

[Roch]

Good morning ladies,how r u was searching for my diary on page 2 and 3 and could not find it and was so shocked to find it second from top on page 1

Morning Barb,i was missed gosh,i post on so many other threads i often neglect mine as i feel i have nothing eventfull to post.How are u hpw has ur weekend been x

Morning Cait,thanks for the support concerning shelter,i really feel for families who are homeless and i know what it feels like to not have a permanent home as i have been in that situation.So hun how are u,was reading alot of your posts and i think it is really good that u r posting alot on the site thats the way u get 2 know us and we get 2 know u.
Looking forward to chatting 2 u x

Morning Vicky how`s u,have u had a nice weekend.Tell me about it that life is bloody hard believe i know that one,i can honestly say that if i did not have Aaron then i think on many occasions i would just give up and loose the will to live but Aaron has been my lifeline and the reason why i cant give up and no matter how many hurdles i come accross and fall over i have to get up dust myself off and try again.
Hope u have a good day xx

Hey Gen how are u hun,been up to anything nice over the weekend.Hopefully on my weigh in on Thursday i will lose that 10 lbs i have gained i have set myself a target of 20lbs by Bonfire night so finger crossed xx

Well i have had a boring weekend no different to any other day as i dont leave the house very often.
Am being very good diet wise breakfast i usually have a Activia o% fat yogurt with fruit and blended and pored over a low fat bran cereal(instead of milk) and often the same at lunch as i love it then for dinner last night had a vegatarian soya schnitzel with a very small jacket pot and some petit pois peas.
I am sometimes a bit repetetive with my food but i eat what i enjoy but i am taking a multi vit plus a slow release vit c to boost my immune system.

I hope that thursday will bring a good weight loss am no way expecting the same weight loss as i had the first wi at Sw which was 17.5 lbs will be happy with 12 lbs dont want to be greedy lol.

Today is an very important day in the jewish religion it is the most sacred day it is called "Yom Kippur" or in english "the day of attonement" and jews fast from sunset last night to sunset tonight and dont even drink water and spend most of the day in synagouge praying.I used to be very religious but since having my son i have come away from being religious mostly because my son is Bi racial and although in the eyes of the jewish religion my son is 100% jewish (as if the mother is jewish the child is jewish it has nothing to do with the father) the comments i have received from my old community has made me loose faith.

So although today is still a very important day to me i dont fast( also i am on meds so i could not fast) but i will light a candle to remember my beautiful mum who died when i was 8 and she was 36 of Breast cancer and also my grand parents(her mum and dad) who adopted me when my mum diee,and my beautiful baby niece who was born still born 10 years to this day.
So i have said prayers for them and they will always hold a special place in my heart today and every other day of my life.

Hello Roch - glad to have you back and see you posting.

Hope today is good for you - i know it's a special day.

Glad to see you are back on the weight loss wagon - it doesnt matter how you do this or what you do improving your health for you and aaron is the most important thing.
You are such a strong person for getting back up after every disappointement and set back and starting again - well done honey. You are amazing

Thanks Helen for such a caring and encourgaing post x

Afternoon everyone,well i not long got out of my bed i feel like cr-p big time think i have the flu, the flu i can cope with but i have serious pains in my ears and that really bothers me as i have had 9 ops on my ears and am partaially deaf.

3 years last December i was hospitalised after being ill for about 2 months and they did not know what was wrong with me untill they put a camera down my throat after being in hospital for 3 days and in so much pain i was on morphine and what they saw was one big ulcer that went from my ears down to the bottom of my throat and covering the nerve endings to my ears and they were shocked,i was in hopsital for 7 days and then opm meds for nearly a year and have had this same prob 2 more times but mildy as we have caught it in time,so i think it will have to be a visit to the doc if things get any worse by tomorrow.

Diet wise i am doing ok after this weeks weigh in i will be happy with 3 pounds a week,depending on how much i lose this week i hope to lose around 12 pounds then by christmas i can be around 3 stone lighter which will be very good for me.

I hope u r all doing ok,cant manage to stay online for 2 long so will catch up soon,take care xx
