I am beginning to become quite concerned about myself!! There was a change of venue tonight and we ended up at a different restaurant, it specialised in burgers....I almost died! I kept thinking of the weatherspoons 40 point burgers!! I know there are mental points because theyre coated in that weird oil fat stuff to keep them preserved and there is no way that my grilled chicken burger with 4 chips would be 40 points but I felt sick when we arrived! All I could see on the menu was "cheese" or "mayo" or whatever. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I ended up in tears in the toilet, worried about what to have! I felt so stupid! Obv only my best pal knew, who kept saying how proud she was of the weight I had lost so far and how it was only natural that I would be upset because I want to lose weight so badly...that unfortunately made it much worse! I hope all this is just down to TOTM, but crying in the toilets over a burger....what on earth is that about!! I feel so stupid, yet still emotional!

you've done so well so far, so proud of you even with a couple of blips along the way I know you will get to where you want to be xxx

i just realised how close you are to being under 200lbs too! well done! How tall are you? about same as me 5'7ish? cause that means you're not far off getting your BMI under 30 and not being classed as obese any more! xx
well done! How tall are you? about same as me 5'7ish? cause that means you're not far off getting your BMI under 30 and not being classed as obese any more! xxAww hunny, poor you!!! :hug99: I totally agree with what susan and rach have said. You're doing so well babe. Unfortunately with that success comes that inner voice saying hang on a minute Jen; that's covered in fat/is how many points??? I know I never had that kind of inner voice before and it takes some getting used to!!! So don't beat yourself up over it. You need to learn to listen to that inner voice as it's there to stop you undoing all your success - an amazing 34 pounds lost babe - but not let it control you and get the better of you like last night. Treat it like a two-way dialogue - listen to it, pause and think, and then justify your choices in your head. A few months ago you'd have automatically gone for the worst choices on the menu and then some. You're different now, this is the new you! And hey, this inner voice, once controlled, could be your new best friend!
Besides christmas time in a school is one of the most stressful times of the year - take if from someone who knows! - so am sure that and TOTM has a big part to pay as well.

"its a baby, a lovely baby, its a lovely little baby boy...." followed by BANG BANG! as miss watson whacks her head off the desk!! They think Jesus is called Cheese Us too....should probably correct them at some point! lol
Youre all so kind, although most of your posts have made me cry this morning, so thinking I am in just in a rather emotional place ! lol Shall be in floods at the xfactor final!! lol

You did great you made good food choices and cried in the toilets not in the restuarant at the table - well done. Don't beat yourself you are doing so well and that TOTM is a killer for messing you up.
On another note if you succumb and kill a glitter spraying little one can I kill a moaning patient - we'd get off I'm sure if we got a jury of 12 teachers or doctors receptionists.
Chin up forward into the fray thats Christmas we're all here right behind you supporting that journey.
Big Hugs

Wish you were coming to Glasgow too! Is there def no way?
Thank you so much honey, SOOO glad I didnt cry at the table, could feel the tears coming so quickly made my excuses! lol!
Just saw that Claire from Steps has a workout video coming out after xmas where she basically just teaches you the dance routines....love it!! So all extra weight will be gone! lol
I would gladly be on your jury anyday if you want to kill a moaning patient!! I cant be doing with moaners!! There are a good few moaning teachers too that need to be dealt with!! lol!!
Glitter is pretty, if it didnt look so nice there is no way I would use it, just a shame 6 year olds cant just be sensible!! ha ha!! Oh no, by the time you come to Glasgow I will be de-schooled so we can skip up Argyle Street singing away!!i love glitter and xmas songs! i promise i wont hum them too much in glasgow Jen
I love xmas songs, although we hardly sing any good ones, its all weird songs we sing. They hardly sing Jingle Bells and stuff in my school Its most sad! They just sing its a freaking baby!! lol

Aww, poor Jen! Crying on the toilet is better than thinking "I'm here now, might as well have a double bacon cheese beef burger!" I wish I was as strong as you, even if it did make me weep! I'd take crying over lack of willpower any day Just remember in future, one bad moment you can't avoid isn't going to stop you being slim and healthy, which you most definately are. You're doing so well!

Aw, sweetheart, I really felt for you when I read your posts today.
It is good that you are serious about losing weight but I guess for all of us, as M says, its about doing what "normal" folks do - we are all kind of all or nothing and I suppose that leads to us freaking out occassionally.
You made good choices - be really proud of yourself - and you care which is even better.
Love and hugs
Rosie xxxxxxx

Hey hon, Jess is right. So many of us would have gone into full-on bugger-it mode when faced with that situation. You made the best choice you could under the circumstances so well done.
If you're worried about the points, you can always cut back by your four a day.
Was the restaurant a chain? Can you find their nutritional values online and work out how many points you had? I'm sure you'd find it a pleasant surprise.
Laughing at your nativity and glitter stories btw. I used to travel round primary schools doing sign language and braille workshops with the kids and their amazingly short attention span used to really make me laugh. I once had to compete with the window cleaner - no contest! A story about a glittery fish in speech and sign versus a man with a squeegee...
