Thanks girls.. Hope you have everything crossed still.. ha ha..

Aw welcome back Brona.. And thanks :)
Uber excited about the house I have to say.. I was devastated when they called to say they'd be giving us back our deposit coz they didn't want us hanging on indefinitely.. And I don't know about Kildare County Council... but DCC are CRAP!!! Took them 3.5 months to assign the complaint and another 6 weeks for him to do anything.. But they came out quick enough the second time round.. Dunno if it was my friends husband having a word (he works in there but a different dept) or the fact the owner of the house had been in there for 2.5 hours last Friday tryna get it sorted but at least they've been now.. And now to wait for the outcome.... But Peter (my friends husband) told me it was "a minor thing it shouldn’t cause a problem re: sale of the property. It’ll probably need to be quickly looked at and then signed off" and the DCC guy told the owner of the house that he didn't "foresee any issues" so its lookin' good :D :D

How are you? Anything strange or startling going on with you? Weather is miserable isn't it?!
 
For those of you not on my MFP... I had another gain this week.. That's 3 gains in 3 weeks.. 2 of which were down to boozing and being a greedy pig!! This weeks was down to my IBS being triggered by white pasta.. God damn!!
I WILL have a loss next week!! So no boozing this week and no take aways.. I need to get a loss.. I'm close to giving up.. Even though I know where the gains are coming from.. And I've a million n 1 things going on in my head with the house etc.. But I need to stop gaining n start losing again.. My loss has gone below 30lbs again I need to get that number up.. and the number on the scales down... I WILL get the numbers on the scales down.. Before I end up back where I started!!
 
Well hon, at least you are facing the gains head on. And that takes guts! I usually disappear off here for a while and come back with a big gain lol :p
Aaah hon the white carbs really never agree with you do they? Your poor tum :( Is it hurting? Bloated? You know you can do this so don't give up yet my love (I'd miss your words of wisdom). Just try for a good week and you'll get yourself a lovely loss next week to boost you up. You have had a lot on your plate with the house troubles so you're doing fab to keep tracking everything! X

I've been bold n not tracked on here or MFP in ages.. But I have an app on my iPod and I have been tracking.. badly but still trackin' ha ha ha

Yea my body is aching.. feel like my insides are gona implode :( And the worst part is that there's nothing I can take to ease it quickly.. I've taken Colperman and I know they'll work.. Its just the time they'll take..
No white carbs really don't like me.. i'm surprised I ate them for so long while feeling like this constantly.. duno how I ever coped!!

I'm gona stop off at Aldi on the way home today n get mixed peppers, onions, mushroom and the makings of a winter veg soup and a sh1t load of fruit... Hopefully get my body oiled up and working again..
Think I'll do a week of Simply Filling this week and get a new notebook so its a complete new beginning.. Wipe the slate clean so to speak..

I know you're keeping an eye on it though. You know your trigger foods for the bloatiness & that being the cause of the gain which is defo still a positive.

Oh you poor love. That's just awful. I'm ok with most white carbs actually, it's other things that set my tummy on edge. Colpermin are great but you're right, they take a long time to work. Sucking on a peppermint can help I find.
Yeah it's mad the things we eat that don't agree with us and then later we're like "why did I do that". I think it's just because they're yummy LOL.

That does sound like a good plan hon!! See? You're getting yourself back on track just like that! :)

Hope that tummy eases off soon hon...

I know its mad.. I ate white carbs for years but I suppose I didn't know then I had IBS never mind what was triggering it...
TBH I don't really "like" white carbs anymore.. I mean.. The pasta still just tastes like pasta n the rice like rice.. But its the texture.. When I started eating brown rice n pasta I was the same.. Didn't really like the texture of it.. Now I'm used to having brown pasta n rice n I don't like the texture of white carbs.. Its weird.. White are kinda slimey whereas brown are kinda chewy-ish... Not uncooked chewy ha ha.. I dunno how to better describe.. If you eat it, you'll know what I mean.. lol

Yea I'm determined for a loss next Friday.. I'm heading out next weekend and wana feel like I've earned it you know!?

I'm actually going out up ur way.. ish... Going to Bru Bar in Drogheda?!
 
I have switched to whole wheat pasta now, Ralph prefers it too. I find it a grainy texture. I dropped some in the sink last night, normally with white pasta I would've got Ralph to get it out coz I can't stand that 'slimy' feel but I just reached right in and picked it out. I find it more filling too.

Tracy I never realised it until the other night when I had pesto pasta n chicken with white pasta... After an hour r so I was STARVING again..
Usually with the same size portion of brown pasta (i ALWAYS have 40g dry weight) and same portion of chicken I'd be full, sometimes even stuffed, for the night... But I was SO hungry I had to have a sandwich at about 8:30pm... can't remember the last time I needed to do that...
And yes, grainy is the word I was looking for.. not chewy ha ha ha

You're describing it exactly as I would lol. I don't like brown pasta much but brown rice is ok (if they'd a bit of sauce in the meal it's even better). Completely different textures! Least you're used to and like the healthier stuff now :)

Oh I know that place yeah, across the river from McDonalds. Not sure how the food is... There's an Apache pizza across the road if the food is crap LOL ;)

Yea cake and beer just don't go.. lol
The hot food... once the smell gets me I'm usually gone... But I don't to eat much when its finger food like that...
Afraid people will look and comment and judge what/how much I eat... So I'd be safe enough there I think too...
The alcohol consumption tho... Not so good!!! ha ha... And if there's food after like chipper or maccers is where I'd fail...

Actually. That's the same thing I would think too. I'd be afraid what others would think of me if I ate much finger food! If I'm skive I can pig out in peace LOL
