Hey Haf,

What is glamping...some sort of camping? ;-) Wow! Sounds like you lived it up this weekend....have you pointed up or just had a relaxed approach for a few days? My son wanted us to go out for a meal at his favourite place today but I said 'no', I am on a diet and I have to stick to my points... I think it would have been way to hard to take him out as well due to his medical conditions...so, instead, I cleared out rubbish from the house...feels good to get rid of stuff...tons more to go through! ;-)

So, what is this stuff you have been eating? Have you got a link to the website and what it is called?

Been very hungry today for some strange reason...maybe it is because I am at home and not running around or maybe it is because I have been working hard clearing stuff out!

Enjoy your bank holiday...take care. xxx

Hey Annie
Glamping is like luxury camping. We had a massive canvas tent (like out of Africa minus the animals as was in west Wales) it had a proper bedroom and a fire place!! A totally amazing bathroom and sitting room.... A bit of luxury under canvas.

http://www.eatwater.co.uk/ this is where I ordered from...... But you supposedly can go to a Japanese/Asian supermarket and get them cheaper, they are called shirataki noodles..... Going to drag Mr A around looking at some point tomorrow x
Love the fact you had a clear out. I so need one!!!! Hate clutter but hate throwing out even more.. X hope you have a good bank holiday Monday x

Wow! Never heard of glamping before but I have now...sounds amazing....but it sort of defeats the purpose of camping...lol! Do you actually bring your own glamping equipment to camp or is it all there ready for use? You know Haf, you always have something unusual or exciting or interesting that I have never heard of before! I like it! ;-)

I remember going to the Chinese shop ....can't remember the area now to get my Asian type foods whilst in Cardiff....what's the area called now...hmmm....

Yes, I too find it very hard to throw things out, etc...sometimes, I put things in black bags and have to have them standing around for a week or two before I can get rid...bit sad, I know...;-) But, then, it does feel great when you can see 'space' again! lol! Yes, you have a good bank holiday too... xx

My son surfs so spend so so much time in a wet cold tent, yet I love it...when camping in Cornwall last year we noticed the canvas tents away from the madding crowd. Mr A booked as a surprise, my son stayed with his grandparents.

Welcome glamping,luxury camping, 5 star luxury, snowdonia, conwy

We used to camp all the time, the boys,ex partner and me... I really miss it and now, we can't really go due to circumstances with my boy.... thanks for the link...had a look...and it looks amazing!Lucky you! Did you have a hot tub too? xx

 

[Haf]

Yep hot tube included....when Mr A told me to pack a swimsuit I was mortified, I pretended to leave at home, but Mr A knows me better than I think and took one just incase x mind I am glad he did, the hot tube was so so private no one could see, x

It must be so hard with holidays!!!!! All the things I guess we all take for granted....not sure what issues you would face with taking your son away.....I hope it could be a possibility xxxx

Wish I was soaking in a hot tub, living the life! Lol! You are lucky to have such a great Mr A!

Yes, holidays, weekends are the hardest but every day is so hard too... :-( It's just life I guess and my youngest and I get on with it to help my eldest through it all... Can't even manage a shopping trip without trouble, so I doubt we will be going anywhere soon... Maybe, when I lose the weight, I'll have more energy to cope with it all... Yes, we all take things for granted and when something like this effects your life, it is only then you realise how difficult life can be for some people... I am sure that there are others in a worse place than us and we should be grateful what we have...

I am not doing too good this morning...ate 18 points in one go and feel sick...not sure why as I was hungry .... maybe, it is hormones as I am feeling a little down too... feel like eating all the sweet things in sight but settled for 2 Time Outs at 2 PP's each and it took the edge away from the sick feeling... must be hormones...lol...My eldest said to me 'you can Mummy, just eat within your points'! (when I said that I wanted to pig out on sweet things...) ... Bless! x

 

[Jaly]

Keep up the hard work Haf! The 'glamping' site looks lush! I'm jealous! Have a lovely day! x And your Mr A sounds brilliant indeed!

 

[Haf]

Loving your son!!!!! And love how he is so right. It's simple when said like that.....I think we all have up and down days with food, I know I do. I find most things out of the norm make me eat!!! I have a very skinny friend and she said after husband died if she had gone through it she would have put her off food.....I turned to it. The local old people made me cakes for months after and I loved them. Would eat as tears streamed down my face. I put on 6 stone in a year I just rammed it in. I now know I am an emotional eater, there is nothing wrong with that (other than weight gain) I have come to realise I sometimes can't control the urge to eat so I go with it. I have stopped the guilt I feel when I eat, I just make dam sure I stick to the points when I can. I used to think it was me being weak, but now I know its just who I am . So ww is now my life time way of eating. And I may put a few lb on this week, I may if lucky sts, but if I look at a month it's norm 4lb or over and that is enough xxxx think your son should start his own diet club as he has it right don't worry xxx

Hi jaly it was amazing xxx. Mr A is brilliant I sometimes think he is perfect for me at this time in my life. If I had to write on paper who my ideal would be it is defo Mr A x x

Hi Haf,

I am an emotional eater as well and have been since I was little, sad to say... I feel I need to deal with stuff without eating as when I eat, I am doing it to hurt/punish myself.... in the end, I don't feel guilty but I feel so bad about myself... Now, at least, I feel so much in control and happier that I am eating what I want, am full, enjoying what I cook and still staying within my points.

I am sorry that you had to go through all that pain, my heart goes out to you. :bighug:It is also so good to hear that you found a wonderful Mr. A, who treats you right. I sometimes wonder if I am destined now to be alone for the rest of my life or will I just keep meeting the wrong sort of men and get hurt over and over again. :-( I am using this time I have to reflect and make myself strong. I can't go anywhere anyway, so I guess in a way it is good as I can do all the healing and crying I need to do. I guess the day I stop crying and grieving for my loss is when I know I will be ready for someone else, if they come along.

I think it must be my hormones as I am still feeling down and tearful and have slept so much today, I almost feel so guilty for doing so...had to go into my weeklies today... I had a lovely Roast Lam dinner with the works and I loved it! It's been ages since I had a good roast dinner and it was so yummy if I may say so myself! Your curry sounded divine too....I love Thai curries....

Yes, my son was good with what he was saying... unfortunately, his meds make him want to eat and eat and it is one major side effect! He has gone from a skinny, rib showing kid to an overweight kid in literally 4 months! It is so sad to see him this way as he was a powerful swimmer and a fantastic runner as well... I think now that I am doing WW's, it may be helping him to think about trying to control his eating (very difficult seeing that the drug he has makes him eat a lot!) but today we worked out what he should be eating and changes he needs to make to try and control his eating. He said that he will first try not to put anymore weight on and try and maintain what he is at. I think that's a great thought from an almost 12 yr old, don't you? We also talked about eating fruit and lower calorie foods when he got hungry! So, I guess WW's is also helping my eldest and also my youngest.... Yes, you are right...this is going to have to be our way of life forever and it isn't bad at all really, is it? ... I know that I can lose the weight and I know that I will do it. I so look forward to reaching my Goal next year!

Annie xx

I love how children just adapt so easy!!!! My son loves the food I cook now......he is a massive eater!!!!! But so active it's all ok but I think like your son if that activity stopped he would put weight on......I think you changing how you eat is an amazing thing you are doing for the children also xxxx I am so so tired did a 11-23 shift!!! Just got in and finding it hard to unwind. I have weigh in tomorrow and have felt like eating,eating,and eating even more. I have a feeling I may have a gain!!!!oops x

 

[bulldogdaisy]

[Haf]

Was convinced I had put on......now worried I may see the gain next week.......i swear if I had nothing to worry about I would worry why!!!!!!!
