Flirty's diary ...............

Hiya Bev

Sorry to hear you're struggling, step-children can be such a difficult thing to cope with. I get on very well with mine now, they're grown up 19 & 17, and even when I first met DH both children got on well with me & my DD, which was very lucky, but it wasn't always plain sailing and I did use to find the weekends very difficult and stressful at times, so I really do feel for you, especially as you have the added stress of her making it so difficult for you.

You know why you ate extra and you know that that's not the answer, you don't need telling, and it's one of those things that you could go round & round for ever trying to sort out or solve. You were stressed, anxious & you ate, it doesn't mean you're out of control, it happens and will happen again. Knowing the reason why you ate, even if you don't feel you can control it, is better than just eating for the sake of it. Sometimes it's easier to give in & eat & almost have one less thing to worry about, but don't beat yourself up about it, no-ones asking you to be perfect & you shouldn't expect yourself to be either.

I hope the weekend goes alright for you & itsn't too stressful. Take care & a big hug :hug99:

Hi honey

Sorry to hear about your blip but do you know what - it was only a tiny one!! Hardly a binge eh????

What's done is done, you can only control from this moment forwards so just focus your energies on that...

Hope things went ok with SD??

Luv,
 
Hey Beverley, hope youre ok hun xx
 
Thank you everyone for kind wishes and support .... wasn't going away totally - but needed some time to get my head together this weekend, as was sos upset with my blip on Friday. I worry that if i can fall when I'm feeling so strong, what will happen when I'm not so strong?? Need to look more into coping stragagies - as don't want a repeat of Friday!

Well weekend went ok-ish .... and weigh in today and I'm down to 13.8 .... 5lb down. I know it could have been more, but no use crying over spilt milk (or over eating soup and profeterols!!) So back on track today and hoping that I can get back into ketosis fairly quickly and stick to it this week. I don't have big massive losses - I usually do my stone a month ... so "steady eddie way" it is! I would like to lose 4 stone in total .... which if I lose an average of 3.5lb per week means i'll get there exactly as the Dublin weekend comes up!
 
:hug99: glad to see you back flirty.
 
Hey Bev

5lbs is great!!!! Well done!!!

Don't give yourself too much of a hard time honey, the Dublin meet is just a blink away and you'll defo be a skinny minnie by then....

Good luck for this week honey
 
Thanks Karen, Issy, KWB .... feeling less "overthetop" excited about the diet than i was last week - but convinced i can do this - especially with the support i get from you guys! :grouphugg: :thankyou:
 
Hiya Bev

Well done on your 5lb that's a good loss, just get back into it now. As you say, you can't undone what's done, just look forward to a good week and another good loss next week.

Take care
xx
 
Well am feeling quite positive today - my WI on Monday was 5lb down (could have been better ... but could have been soooo much worse!) and today I am another 1lb down - but more importantly yesterday was verrrry verrrry stressful. I won't go into details - but enough to say I was very upset all day yeasterday - and whilst it has all been resolved now, I didnot think of food or eating once. For me that is a big result ... and one that I want to build on and hope i can continue. Didn't drink enough water - but will try to compensate for that today.
 
Hiya

Well done on surviving yesterday without falling into a fridge of food - you've just proved to yourself that you can do it.

Keep up the good work & glugging your water. Another pound gone forever :clap:
 
Feeling sorry for myself today as very sore and tickly throat - with start of cold. My OH not very sympathetic or supportive when I told him how bad I feel .... so beware Phil when you have it and want TLC!!!

Good thing is I'm not hungry and don't want any food. Have had my toffee and walnut porridge and plenty of water, which is soothing it. Will stick to packs today - no bars and hopefully scales will be kind to me tomorrow??!! No loss on them today - but know I've been good so not stressed about it.

Think I'm definately battling a bit of depression - have had depression that required medication for years - but been off tablets for about a year now. Not feeling really low and down in a suicidal way - but know I'm not firing on all cylinders and prefer not to deal with things I know i should. Really don't want to go back to Doctors yet - so trying to do it my way .... but if I don't feel I've managed any progress may have to re-evaluate things. No-one meeting me would say I'm depressed (infact probably the opposite, as I come across very bouncy, upbeat and bubbly), I'm not constantly in tears etc - but I know somethings not quite right and go out of my way to stay in my comfort zone. Does any of that make sense???
 
Hi Beverley,

I think so many suffer from SAD in January and February...I know I do and I think you have described the feeling very well.

The last few weeks I have found it hard to shake it off as it is like a heavy weight attached to my ankle and I am dragging it along after me...

So delighted that today is the 1st of March with its promised of longer evenings stretching out before us and brighter days with more sunshine...I hope.

I have a fear of flying but this winter is enough to almost change my mind about it...

Also with so many bugs around your bound to get one or two and no one can feel on top when battling a cold or flu.

Today is just lovely here apart from the odd shower but between them it is very bright and sunny:)

Now I need to do some spring cleaning as it puts a spotlight on what needs doing:rolleyes: :D Can't win:p

Hope your feeling better soon, hugs.

Love Mini xxx
 
Course it makes sense, and you know we're behind you and here if you wanna talk :psiholog: Just take it easy, and remember you can go to the Drs if you need to xx
 
Hiya Bev

Sorry to hear you're not feeling too good, in all ways.

What you said makes perfect sense, I'm still on Anti-depressants myself after a major breakdown last Sept. I spent months determined to fight it on my own (having been there before) and didn't want to go back to the Dr's - kinda felt for me that it was a failing to do so :rolleyes: but it backfired big time and my body eventually took over and held a protest rally so to speak! So don't try and fight it on your own, especially if it gets any worse, you've been there before and know the symptoms - same as I did - just go see your Doc if you're struggling at all. It won't necessarily mean you have to go back on medication, but just worth having a professional opinion maybe.

Take care of yourself :) and shout if you need a friendly ear :hug99:

Thanks Mini, D-Q and MD

I will keep an eye on myself ........ and as you say MD you know the symptoms. I was on and off medication (and never had a problem with it) because I had "reactive depression" due to my ex husband being an alcoholic.

I am happy in my life mostly - nothing really BIG, except prehaps SD .... I have a fantastic OH who I love to bits(well other than his lack of compassion re me feeling c*** at the moment!!), 3 wonderful children, a nice house, a job that allows me to work with people.

Maybe it is a bit of SAD syndrome Mini .... I certainly feel better on sunny days - but then don't we all??!! With spring officially on it's way I hope I can start to feel like everything is falling into place - at this moment there is a chunk not there.

Thanks all of you who have read, empathised and responded - it is lovely to know that people understand even when they don't know you!
 
Hi Beverley - hope u feel better soon....:(

Have been feeling the same myself of late.....

love

Debz
