Don't worry I havent had a drink - but I have eaten chicken and had some coke zero. Something had to give, what with dad, plus my engine warning light coming on, worrying about work and childcare with dad being in a specialist hospital 15 miles away (and i work 35 miles in the opposite direction), plus worrying about J and his family PLUS my period starting - today had been truely truely horrific

xxChristy! I feel for you! One thing at a time is bad enough but everything together is definitely enough to turn to the bottle! Well done on your restraint. You've done amazingly well considering all that stress. You should really be proud of yourself although I suspect right not you may not feel anything but "bleurgh!" And that's and understatement. Hope when you get this morning (I'm an early bird again been up since 4.30am) you at leas feel a sense of achievement for completing a full day. Chicken and zero would be fine you'll still stay in ketosis. Hope you dad is doing ok.

Well today dad saw the surgeon and they have confirmed he has a blood clot in his leg somewhere. Apparantly his got a strong pulse in his right leg but nothing in his left leg. He's on morphine and warfarin, they are going to give him a CT scan tomorrow, depending on where the blockage is will determine the treatment, so guess we'll know more tomorrow...
Had WI today - 7lbs loss this week! xxxx

****** that's great on the 7lb loss! Well done! See the strength you mustered up in such difficult circumstances. That's a great achievement maintaining such control when part you is fighting that voice in your head to seek solace in food and wine. Your dad in the best place now and hopefully the CT scan will be done first thing in the morning. Good that they identified it quickly and put him on warfarin. He must be in pain bless him if they've had to give him morphine but at least he will be comfortable as the pain is being managed. Keep strong and positive about your dad and yourself sticking to plan petal. x

Thank u!! Well last night the bf dumped me by text, says he can't do 'us' while his dad is dying. Feel like s**t but can't change it, he knows my dad is seriously ill but doesn't seem to care, far too wrapped up in his own life.
So anyway, I'm still on plan - having some time off work so I can support Dad and look after my son. Just feel like I have been kicked very hard and wish things were different xx

Crikey!! Christy!! Take about sh***!! I'll be blunt but I think the bf can't really be a kind person doing that you when your dad is ill. A caring adult would simply not do that. To say I am cross on your behalf is an understatement!! I want to type obscenities about him! Your son, your dad and you come first. So you look after yourself so your can take care of them. So continue sticking to plan come what may. No amount of food or wine will make coming of plan at this stage worth it. Getting to goal and being fitter and healthier will - and of course slimmer! xx

I know I've been there for him totally since his dad fell ill, and sat up with him all night while he broke his heart when they told him it was terminal and he didn't have long left. He didn't even ask me what wrong with mine. I really really upset at his whole attitude - pure selfishness.
I talked to my best friend today and it transpires (when she found out his unusual surname) that she worked with his ex wife - apparently he had an affair and broke her heart. So much for 'i just fell out of love for her when i realised she treated me like ****'. Oh well, glad I found out now!!!
To be honest I haven't been tempted to cheat once today, in fact I can't eat. I've hardly had anything - one shake and a bar. Not had much water either. I have no appetite at all.
Dad is still very poorly, he's had a CT scan at lunchtime so hoping to know more tomorrow. I've taken emergency annual leave from the law firm where I work and just hoping things turn around soon as have massive childcare problems looming if they don't xxxx

Charity you need to have all your packs for the nutrition. The last thing you need to is get ill on top of everything else. (Sorry I know I'm being a nag but just worried about you). I completely understand you have not appetite as stress can be numbing too especially when it comes in one big sweep like this.
Definitely better finding out about him now. Outrageous he didn't even ask about what was wrong with your dad when he took al that emotional support from you.
Take care of you first. I know isaid that before. On the child care front try not to worry, somehow things on that front will work out. It's amazing support and understanding people can offer I hard times. Not everyone is uncaring remember. Xxx

xxHa!ha! You I was thinking of you GG when I replied to Christy and I knew you simply wouldn't mince your words!!!
How the devil are you?!! Not fat again I hope? I'm closer to goal. Today's daily weigh was 8st 7lbs 6oz! Hoping for a good loss by Monday's official weigh as I've switched from S&S to 5:2 and having real food! Diidnt lose last week been maintained even with wine!! So think 5:2 may work in the long term for me.
Come on we want an update from you! X

Hahahahahaha yeah u r totally right there GG!!!! As soon as my best friend told me the real reason for his marriage break up I knew he was a cock. Balls to him - he doesn't deserve me!!
I'm okish - Dad's in hospital and we're awaiting news from his surgeon to find out what they are going to do about his clot. Doesn't help that he's in a room with 4 amputees, but hopefully we will have some news today. Just throwing myself into sorting my son out and keeping some sort of normality for him and visiting Pops, it's a pain that he is up in Stoke which is an hour's drive away and means I am his only visitor and can only go in the afternoon when Sam is at school. Oh well, he is getting the care he needs which is the main thing.
Diet wise I am still losing, struggling to find an appetite but I al sure it will come back soon enough!
How are you? x
You're doing very well christy! Looking good! Yes - please get rid of this bloke. Run all potential ones by me first and remember ... If it moves too fast and it's very full on in a space of weeks / months - it won't last. Hope your dad is feeling brighter?
Ooh well done kira - excellent progress since I last checked in! I'm doing ok - maintaining I suppose ? Which is the name of the game ! I'm currently 9 st 7 which suits me I think: comfortably a size 8-10 so I just try and stay around this weight now
