Enjoy the soggy Cotswolds. If you drink enough, the weather will cease to matter! Do you have brothers and sisters, or is it just you celebrating with your mum and dad? x

I know what you mean Dukanista, she went very quiet about that didn't she?

Hello folks! Am back from the soggy Cotswolds. Was a bit of an adventure...ended up taking Mum to A&E on Thursday then racing around trying to find her a pair of crutches. Good old Argos, who'd have thought it?

So, I slipped up a bit really. Am so not 'cured' of eating like a fat person! Ate too much and even one night felt so uncomfortably full that I didn't think I'd be able to lie down, let alone get to sleep. Grrr, am not impressed. I even let myself continue eating like that all weekend, even though I knew I'd regret it.

Have put myself back on cruise for a few days this week. It's only a few pounds on but it's shocked me into seeing that I'm by no means 'safe' yet. This is making me think that I do need to do conso properly...but we shall see. I loved it when I was calmly eating small portions and stopping before I was full, but maybe I need to break the 'chain' before getting into that.

In other news, online dating is HORRENDOUS! I've only really put any time into it yesterday and today but my god, there are some mentalists out there.

Good to hear from you again, Joodle. I hope your mum's OK. I'm sorry to hear the eating wasn't as controlled as you hoped it would be, it doesn't sound like you lost it completely though and you can feel good about the fact you've been able to go straight back onto cruise, no hassle. As for the on-line dating, I can't really comment as it's not something I have direct experience of - I did meet the new 'fella' of a friend of mine at the weekend though, whom she met through on-line dating, and he seemed very pleasant, so they can't all be mentalists! It's a case of being persistent, I suppose. Good luck with it! xx

Bob, you're back ! Sounds like you had fun, although crutches don't sound good ! I hear you about the over eating, whilst I was in my self sabotage recently I knew I would regret doing what i was doing but did it stop me NO !!!! I don't know if i'll ever be cured, I just hope I can maybe limit how long I go into those meltdowns.

So the internet dating isnt going well, thats not good to hear. maybe you aren't on the right site ? Did you go on one that was recommended ?

HMmmm think the battle for us people will be lifelong Joodle - for sure I think it can get easier but I don't think it ever leaves us completely.... Well that's my conclusion anyway.... Great thing is that you are in control of doing something about it.... You will return to the eating until you feel full etc and allowing little treats but perhaps you need to do strict conso for a bit to get into the idea of it..... I don't know... Just my thoughts.
This is a battle we will win Joodle!!! Just been perusing the Dominoes menu - not a good idea! LOLOLOL

 

[sarafvrm]

Don't do it to yourself, Trudy! That's just masochism x

 

[sididd]

True words Trudy. This will be a life times commitment to maintain but the results are worth it joodlenoodle bob. Were all in it for the duration...ups and downs. Xxx

Hi Jood, good to see you. I think its in us all to self destruct with the diet, but at the same time we have the tools to do somethign about it, and you def know what you are doing if you are in the frame of mind that says this is wrong.

Cruise and the strict conso is the way I think. i wonder if perhaps the longer we do these things the more it sinks in about the rules of it all LOL. While its good to be able to eat the lovely stuff, maybe you need the strictness of conso to keep it straight in the mind. Hope you manage to getyour head straight hun.

Hello Noodle, good to have you back!

 

[Jojo25]

How you doing bob ?

 

[sarafvrm]

Right, Bob, time for another word from you I think - I'm sending you back up to the top of the diary thread. And you need to get the Minimins get-together date in your diary dear xx

 

[dukannotsofatty]

where is she? hope she ok

 

[Dukanista]

Noooooooodle! Come back!! Maybe another email is required, Trudy. She can't disappear now that we've got a meet up planned!

 

[sarafvrm]

Perhaps she's disappeared into the sunset with her knight in shining armour whom she met through internet dating? What do we reckon, ladies?

 

[alottolose]

Dunno, anyone got her on facebook? x

 

[sididd]

What a romantic idea......
