thanks girls.. Week 11 Day 4
At this current moment actually all evening i have been in the mood from hell.... i feel stressed and full of anger for some strange reason... i dunno why... i actually wanted to throw the laptop as It was going slow im getting snappy... im not due on or anything. Im at the end of my teather.... i feel drained and completely fed up.... My days are the same.... Sleep loads so i dont have to think about food or because im bored.. wake up watch tv go for a walk and feel generally peed off.
I hate to be rude to the people i love but i just want to scream.
Sorry just had to unvent xxx

Aw sweet don't like to hear you are feeling so rubbish! Is it just that the routine of this I'd starting to get you down, if it is then right there with you!
Why don't you put some variety into your days, easier said than done as most things cost money and for most that's a struggle! What about exploring a new hobby? I find reading helps for me as it's a double whammy as I tend to read self help books which if I didn't buy I would get from the library. I'm thinking about knitting lol not even sure where that came from but I remember my mother in law knitting beautiful items for my children, they will be reproducing soon no doubt so would live to do something for them! Omg just realised I must be getting old grrrrrrrr
Chin up beautiful, identify the issue, consider your solutions you will get there! Maybe the letter to yourself is a good starting point xxxxxxxxxxxx (lots of x's to cheer you up my lovely) xx

Vent away! This is a great, safe and relatively anonymous place to do exactly that.
I have done some NLP in the past - which of course LL uses in the sessions.
Here is a lovely technique to help when you are feeling down.
Stand with your feet wider than hip distance but so you are stable. Put your arms wide in the air above your head, lift your chin. In this posture say "I feel fan-tas-tic!!" In a bright, postive, upbeat voice. Repeat this a few times.
A great way to start the day or lift your mood. Much better than plodding down stairs to put the kettle on muttering to yourself "I feel awful"
Hope you are having a much better day today xxx

Hey lovely, Neuro Lingustic Programming, sorry about the spelling! I can't give you a detailed summary sorry I only know a little about it! All I know is that it involves influencing people's thoughts through words and touch. What I have seen and heard fascinates me I am trying to get work to pay for it but it transfers to everyday life too. I guess I see it similar to CBT in a way which again is interesting!
Good mews about the volunteering! Finding work is so hard in today's climate, my daughter would like to work with animals but she is not motivated at all, youth of today! She works for the same place as me in a local office! Hope it goes well for you xxx

Hey gem glad to see apart from the feeling low everything is going so well your doing fab. I got my before pics back the other day and I'm not ashamed to say I was disgusted. I've showed a few people an they were even shocked none of th said that they would I've said I looked like that. I just looked awful so puffy wast nice. I was tempted to put them on my fridge as well but instead hid them in a draw. Although lady t is right we should have possitive motivation not negative. Were here to learn not beat ourselves up.
Great news on the volunteer work. At least it keeps you busy and will hopefully take your mind off thing. Plus sounds like you really love animals so should take the stress away for you too.
I'm thinking of going blonde in preperation for a mates wedding in may. Much more summery than the dark red I am at the moment. Dunno if that's gonna happen tho. Might have to have the colour stripped from my hair first :S
Great weight loss so far chick. Really well done x

What a great idea volunteering is - Genius Gem! Hope you really enjoy it - then it leads onto something else.
NLP is - Neuro Linguistic Programming, it is used in the group work e.g. the lemon exercise. LL also use CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and TA (Transaction Analysis).
NLP is used in business and marketing a lot (especially in the states) as it can influence the way we think and feel about things. (Including ourselves) The layout of supermarkets, branding of food, advertising etc is all heavily loaded with suggestions. - Ever been shopping and come out with loads of things you didnt go in to buy??
A huge and interesting topic - but I wont clog up Gem's diary with any more info. I guess we could start another thread if folk are interested.
Enjoy the sunshine today Gem xx
