Ding Dong the Enemy's dead!

[anne-mariep]

Its treat season after all. I think your dead right to concentrate on the no smoking. Putting too much on your plate just increases your chances of not succeeding. And you are so putting a few lbs on wont hurt wen you know you can take back control wen you want. Dido on Farmville i'm trying to work out all my stuff to be ready at the same time so i can just spend a hour or two fixing everything. Oh Im so sad haha!

 

[kered]

Oooh me too, I re-arranged everything last night, it took me a few hours lol.

 

[kered]

Better day food wise today, no picking and upped my exercise on the Wii.

Wont be able to have extra's tonight, as I am working and have only brought some salad and soup.

Feeling a little more positive today too.

 

[summergurl]

Feeling a little more positive today too.

Glad to hear it mrs

 

[JanD]

Thanks Tanya, yeah dont worry, I dont plan on going OTT, but with all the celebrations ahead I might just succumb to the odd treat or two.

And why shouldn't you?????!!!!! You're a grown up, sensible woman and you know what you're doing. You need to give yourself a break - which you're doing - and you know you can put right anything untoward after Christmas. You can enjoy yourself without going OTT as you've said. Well done you for coming this far - if you can survive the Christmas celebrations without smokes I reckon you'll have cracked it!! xx

 

[JanD]

Oh!! And as for Farmville! I think it's taking over my life! Someone said to me the other day 'ah well if you enjoy it' and that made me think..... I don't think I actually enjoy it .... I think it's just become an obsession!! How sad is that??!! If you look at my farm now you'll see the space waiting for a farmhouse ... I've got the money ... I just need to get to the next level .... I did all kinds last night to get over the amount I thought it was only to find when I got there I'd got it wrong!! Ha Ha .... xx

You're right Jan. I dont know what came over me for a few days, but I just felt such a failure, even though I know I have done great with the weight and giving up the smoking, but just because I had gained a few lbs, it was like something dreadful posessed me. I do feel much better and more in control. Its probably just a side effect of the no smoking.

Hmmm, good one, now do I enjoy it?.......or am I obsessed?............or with me, it might just be that its something to do with my hands, as I started Farmville at the same time as giving up smoking. To be honest, I think mine is a mixture of all three.

Haha! Yes its prob an obsession for all of us to be honest. Least its not a really bad obsession dats what i tell myself anyway haha!

Absolutely right Anne Marie, we could have worse obsessions
Mind you, I actually dreamt the other night about my farm -

 

[Scotsmist]

You are doing so well Mary, 4 weeks off the smokes is good going. I wouldnt worry too much about FV, I think it is probably keeping your mind occupied..but I know what you mean, I get palpitations if I dont get to my crops in time...lost quite a few and I get gutted!!!!!!

I wouldnt worry too much about your small gain, I am sure it is just the side effect of not smoking and I think that is more important to you at the moment. Cant see you losing control at all on the food front....

 

[JanD]

Ha Ha!! Gutted is right - the one time I lost my strawberries I felt such I failure!! I'm now wondering what to do with my 'wilted' flowers .... xx

 

[kered]

Cant see you losing control at all on the food front....

Cough, cough - you aint seen me when I am in 'self destruct' mode.......:cry:

Ha Ha!! Gutted is right - the one time I lost my strawberries I felt such I failure!! I'm now wondering what to do with my 'wilted' flowers .... xx

Just click on the flowers and you get the chance to sell the wilted flowers Jan, you dont get anything for them, they just disappear.

Only once I lost crops, I was evil

 

[JanD]

Yes I've done that with some Mary .... I'm just sorry to see them disappear - wilted or not ..... Sad I know! xx

 

[summergurl]

hahaa iv got to get rid of them as soon as they are wilted - it makes my farm look unpretty hahaha

 

[kered]

Hahahaa us Farmers lol. Well I too get rid of mine straight away.

I am now into Farmville, Fishville, Cafe World and Country Life. Not enough hours in the day.

Todays has been good, got up at midday, had my kippers for breakfast, but didnt have anything else with them. Then roast beef dinner. Up to now had 2 vodkas. Dont feel hungry so might not eat anything else. Went on the wii this afternoon, and I am -1lb, so fairly pleased as I did have a good day yesterday.

No smoking - going brilliant.

 

[anne-mariep]

Well done on the loss that's brilliant. I wish i had your appetite, and the know how and strength not to eat even thou i know ive loads of food left to eat throughout the day haha! Guess its all about practice makes perfect in a sense.

Im so addicted to cafe world its a joke, i really thought i would get sick of it by now but they keep adding more food its great. Haha!

 

[kered]

AM add me please to Facebook. Just search for Mary Rees. I love all the games now.

I am not a strong person who has a small appetite who knows when not to eat etc............I forgot to mention on the earlier message, I had a small Tesco wafer biscuit after dinner. Still ate nothing since. I really could have eaten loads since dinner, but I have thought to myself, do I really want it, or am I just craving something in my mouth because I am not smoking?............the answer is craving something in my mouth.

I might have a piece of soya and linseed bread later. Grrr could just go in the fridge right now and eat cheese, chocolate and then raid the cupboard of crisps.

NO MARY, YOU ARE NOOOOOOTTTT ALLOWED.

 

[JanD]

Add me too Anne-Marie - Jan Davies - same photo as on here! We can be neighbours I'm only on Farmville tho' won't let myself start anything else!

Don't deprive yourself Mary - it'll only lead to a worse pig-out, and 1lb down is brill! xx

 

[summergurl]

Ooooh and me Anne-marie .... i'm Tanya-Jane Evans

Well done on loss mary *thumbs up* xxx

 

[kered]

Well all in all (drunk now, so sorry if I say anything) today was good.

I ate kippers for breakfast.
Roast beef, 2 tiny bloody roast potatoes (phill cooked) 7 brussels, swede and carrot mash, gravy.
2 soya and linseed bread toasted with small amount of cathedral city cheese, slither of low fat hellmans extra lite mayo, and billions of onions.

* oodles and noodles and lots of vodka with diet coke, but nowt else girlies.

Is it strange to be missing the lipo shakes after 9 months?

 

[JanD]

Lol!!! How's the head this morning Mary?

Welldone you for not eating after/with the voddies!! I'm sure I would have had something if I'd had more than a couple - though I would have had to look for the empty wrappers in the morning to remember exactly what Lol!!

Not sure about missing the shakes - cant say I do but we're all different! xx
