Addicted to Minimins!
Parenting is a very tough job - trust me as a mother of a 10 year old it can be very very trying, unfortunately they don't come with instructions, you just have this little person who depends entirely. My meg is a bit overweight, only slightly, and i keep thinking got to do something about this, but she is a healthy 10 year old, she exercises every day, goes to tennis, basketball, netball (x2), martial arts and football clubs every week, netball she plays for school and local team, so once the season starts in september, she will be playing three times as we have saturday matches. She is allowed one treat a day, she rarely gets chicken nuggets and the like, she eats mostly what we eat, however, i am not good at portion control, so if she says i am hungry, i will let her have a bit more, reality is, she's not hungry she is just being greedy, a habit she has learnt from me her fat mum.
Oh dear, gone off on a tangent...back to my point...then comes the day when you're little darling becomes independent and no longer relies on you, you've lost control and it's a horrid horrid feeling, i haven't experienced it yet but it will happen.
I suspect your Mum is a little jealous, maybe she think cos she lost all her weight and put it back on so will you, i suspect its also because she is no longer in control of what you are eating, maybe she thinks that if she is extra tough on you it will make you all the more determined to lose all the weight
If you were my baby girl Emma-Louise, I would be over the moon that you were taking control and fighting your demons, you are a lovely girl, sometimes us grown-ups/parents get it wrong, but i (and I am sure many others) will continue giving you the support and encouragement you need, think of us as your minimins family!
my stepmum was horrendous, that's how my issues with food started, it was my friend and solace, unfortunately, because i was such a sporty teenager the excess calories were burnt off, but once i started work and found the wonderful world of alcohol the weight started to go on...and on...and on...

just one more thing...sorry to bore you...i wish my parents had said to me for god sake you are getting fatter and fatter, but everytime i said mum i am so gross or i am such a beast, she would say no your not...which was untrue, no i'm not gross or beastly but yes you are overweight and need to get your act together!!
Funnily enough, my mum's petname for me is...wait for it...prada willy!

Just popping in to say hi.
You've been doing really well over the last couple of weeks and don't worry about your coconut rice and naan blip - just think when you're back in uni you'll be completely IN CONTROL and just think how quickly the weight will come off then... !!

right, going to get cracking with my food diary now!! got about three days to catch up on!
friday 27th august - green day
brekkie: weetabix (A&B) and a strawberry muller
lunch: heinz spaghetti with loads of added veg
dinner: spag bol that my stepdad made, i said i would have a tiny bit of bol (B) and loads of spaghetti, well!!! while i went to set the table, my stepdad put oil on the pasta he NEVER usually does as there is more than enough oil in the bol!! anyway so i counted about 10 syns, no idea if its right or not. the pasta was horrible, i could feel the oil on my lips it was gross i really struggled to actually eat it
snack: cheese (A)
total syns - 10
decided after tea i would ask politely and calmly if next time, he could take my pasta out first before putting the oil on, then he said that they were worried about me not getting enough oil cos there are "certain things" our bodies need!!!!!!!!! wasn't happy at all as he then made a big deal out of it infront of my mum aswell so i had them both on my back about it :cry: xx

saturday 28th august - red day
brekkie: weetabix (A&B)
lunch: rollmop, tuna and salad (2 syns for light mayo)
dinner: we had a bbq, so i had a cheese burger in a bun (A&B) one spare rib (4 syns for marinade) and wait for it.. a whole pack of sainsburys 3% sausages (4 syns) plus bbq sauce to dip in (2 syns)
total syns - 12
had another food related argument at bed time, i had a chicken breast left over that i hadnt eaten, and i asked what was for tea the next day so i could plan as if it was going to be a green day i would have my chicken and it was going to be a red day i would have it the day after... once again argument ensued, "youre obsessed with food", blah blah blah - bit sick of hearing it now! xx

sunday 29th august - red day
brekkie: weetabix (A&B)
lunch: chicken sandwiches i took to work with me, (B + 6 syns)
dinner: rollmop, tuna and salad (2 syns for light mayo)
pudding: now for the best bit!! a slice of homemade lemon meringue pie (guessing 10 syns but in reality tons more)
total syns - 18
everyone else had pasta with prawns for dinner, but if id had to count the chicken from lunch and the prawns in the pasta aswell as the sauce it would have come to something ridiculous like 30 syns so i just made my own tea which they all took the piss out of
while i had been at work, my mum had decided to bake!! so i came home to cheese scones, lemon meringue pie, fruit pie and treacle tart... and was basically guilted into having some because i "have to have a treat every now and again" and my mum would be "really offended" if i didnt have some xx

You deserve a medal my dear!
I had a paddy with my mum after 2 days.
I had told her that I would look after all the cooking and she says 'oh no, I want to cook for my little girl'. (I'm 27, that's a bit weird, but anyhow...)
So she made risotto on Sunday with bacon in. I ask:
'Did you cut the fat off'
'Yes', she says.
I look down into the pan and can quite clearly see bacon with fat on.
'You didn't cut it off did you?'
'Well, there's only 3 rashers in there for 3 of us'.
GRRR. It really annoyed me the fact that she LIED about it. The thought of all the fat boiling with the rice made me feel a bit queasy.
I was soooo glad to come home and have a good old jacket potato for my tea last night!
So I totally appreciate how you must feel having that day in and day out. I am amazed and impressed that you are having such good losses. Once you get back to uni you're bound to do even better so bloody well done!!

That was the warning I was going to give, that he must be an 'ex' for a reason.... but for a bit of fun and a confidence boost before going back to Sheffield, why the heck not?!
