Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

I love oatcakes too. I found a box of mini oat cakes (in single portion packs) in Aldi last weekend. The ones I bought were chilli and cheese flavoured and were very very nice. Only 130 odd calories for a bag so not too bad. I'm sure they would be even nicer alongside a pot of hummous!!

So starving and a long time until dinner time...;)
 
Come out Miss Katycakes! I know you are there writing on other people's posts....how'd the work go? All done? :D xx
 
Not yet... have read through about half of it now, tidying up and 'polishing'. Will do rest tomorrow... kids have friends here and it's too noisy to work on it tonight. Then maybe a last read-thru Sunday... then I can email it away. So, so, close!!!

Not a great day with food... an uspetting phone call about a lost tax cheque... all is fine now, but was scary... took OH to station, as he's away for weekend to see his mum... went & bought large choc bar.

Doh.

Plan now is to stop it there... keep on track tomorrow.

Hi Hun. It's amazing how our emotions play such a huge roll eith our eating patterns. You had a crazy call and reached for that choc bar while Thursday night I had a crazy call from the mil to be - 2 one hour rows with her. It was not at all nice and I'd have nothing to do with her if I could get away with it. I smoothed it all over but she got between me and fiancé and instead of reaching for food I couldn't think of it. If I'm tired or worried or happy I'll eat but when something makes me sick to the core, I'm very upset as in, it's the only emotion which stops me munching.

You have a great attitude tho Hun. It was one bar not an entire packet do you did well. Have a great day today. You've been doing fab x

also .... We is really suiting me hun and scales are on the move down yay x
 
Lol Sunshine, it's OK!

Glad WW is working for you. You're right about emotions... and I do understand what you mean about the sick feeling too. usually, stress, upset, worry, hurt, all of that will trigger a binge or try to, but 2 years ago when my dad was ill & didn't get better, I had no appetite at all for maybe 2 months... so I know what you mean. This time, I was annoyed because I was aware what I was doing - PMT is a factor just now, also, so any excuse... so my plan for today is to be aware of the voice in my head telling me I need chocolate. I don't. REALLY don't.
(And yes, it was only one... but it was family-sized... oops.)

Morning Katy! Hope you get to whizz through your work today. As much as I would love to work for myself, the thought of self assessment, accountants etc makes me realise how much I like to get a pay check. I think I would have to earn huge amounts to make it worth it - and believe me that aint gonna happen! Glad you got the tax cheque sorted out, from what I know Inland Revenue aren't very forgiving.

I am off chocolate at the moment, they say to avoid it before treatment, but I have replaced it with hot cross buns. Mmmm, I don't think that is what they meant really. Ho hum, but there is only one left so as long as I don't replace them will be ok.

Do you still have much snow? It peed it down all day yesterday but this morning looks promising, a break in the clouds and some brightness in the sky.

A few errands to run this morning and I am going to see about having my rings resized at the shop where I bought my wedding ring. I want to move them from my middle finger back to the right place. Seems like a closure action.

Have a lovely day xxx
 
Made me smile, Lovely Wales. I wonder why the choc is bad? Give me a reason not to eat it... my periods are so evil just now, would love to blame it all on choc! Actually, I have 4 billion reasons not to eat it, but you know what I mean. Lashed down here all thurs & fri but still have big wodges of snow at sides of road, and imagine it's still snowing up on the mountain road... not going back THERE until June at least! Lol.
About to start work, this is the nice bit now, the finishing off.
I hate and detest anything money linked... urghhhh. I have an accountant but it doesn't seem to help much!
Love the changing of the rings... as someone said, a whole new chapter now.

Poor Katy we have had scary dealings with the Tax people lately, eventually paid over the phone and hope that they don't take it twice.....I used to be self employed Wales, (still am a little bit - but plan to shift that to one of the girls, they have taken over pudding making thank goodness!) OH is too and had been for years and years. We have an excellent accountant thank goodness, but after the last one died, did all the books ourselves and it scared me stiff!
I must say that now I am employed by the Government, life is so much better with regards to money. There isn't much of it, but it's regular, I am building on my small pension, get paid when I have holidays :D and will also be for the 4 days I had away ill last week. Heaven to me, after self employment!

Glad you are on the final stretch Katy, I know just how that chocolate bar leapt into your hand! I found myself with 2 on Monday, after fish and a pancake roll.....

Katy, hope your day has gone well. :)
 
You ok Sweetie? xx
 
Hi Dis & Bess...

Yep, I'm OK. Not such a good day, started well but the voice won out and more choc was eaten, and a bread roll with hummus & coleslaw. It could have been worse, and I am trying hard to 'float' and let it all go, so it doesn't turn into a bad week rather than a bad two days.

The good thing is, I finished the work... will read thru & do a final check today, then send off. SOOOOO relieved, it seemed to drag on forever. So am very happy on that score.

Hugs, all, and hope you all have the best-ever day.

Congrats on finishing the work, what a relief to get that out of the way - happy Sunday x
 
Katy, yay for the work being finished. Have a great Sunday. :)

Yay, well done after all that hard work it must feel good. Hope you have a good day.
Oh no Bess, I'm thinking about being self employed part time and hearing stories like that makes me wonder. I want the tax man to be my friend lol
 
I think your body is hungry Katy and chocolate is one of the things you give in too. Have a read back through your diary around December time and how you felt when you had upped your calories and began to feel more stable. No, upping the calories is not the be all and end all cure but at least you can level out for a few days and realistically your average with the lapses is probably not far off that. When I upped my calories, I was scared about gaining weight because I thought I'd still want to eat extra and at least on a really low calorie intake, I had some 'spare' calories to balance up the binges and prevent weight gain. Funnily enough, the extra food cravings stopped.

If that has come across too direct, I'm sorry. I've been trying to find different ways to say that but couldn't get my thoughts across.

He will be, take no notice of me Miss JT. It's fine, really,and fun running your own business. It's just that at different times in our lives we want different things don't we? After 25 years of not being employed ( being a mum and self employed) and then being offered a job I find it's so much easier and I LOVE being paid to have a holiday!! Such a novelty!

My only advice is, keep a very accurate and careful account of all your income and outgoings, and if your income is going to be over £ 15,000 pa get a good accountant. They can be worth their weight in gold, because they know all the things you can claim for that we don't. Ours got enough tax back from the mistakes we'd made going it alone to pay her fee for two years. Then again a friend of mine never bothered with one, did the 3 line accounts you can do with an income under £ 15,000 and had no bother. The Tax people are very friendly and helpful and good at advice. They just get fierce if they think you are late with your tax! - Mind you, they aren't so quick to return any extra they owe you! :rolleyes:
 
No, Laura... not too direct at all. I have just been very stubborn and have found it hard to listen to some of the good advice people have been kind enough to give. I think I have no choice but to up cals... after almost 2 months, I have not been able to make 810 work and I think the reason is that I need more cals. Maybe it means settling for a maintenance weight that is a little higher than I hoped, but I think there will be other ways to work on this - upping exercise, for example, which I just can't do on 810.

So. No choc today, but only because countryside shops shut early on a sunday - phew. I think I need to try something different... and thanks everyone who has tried to make me see that over last few weeks.
