Sorry I missed your posts last night, Deezer - hope it's passing and that you're feeling better soon. I absolutely agree that this diet makes you realise how often and how easily we used to eat for the wrong reasons. Our understanding of that counts for at least half of the solution, I reckon - we're all much stronger for it and I'd bet actual real money that you can plough on through the rough times knowing it will pass.
PS to Lilac... I love the new photo - you look so slinky!
Any time hunni!!! You deserve them all and more!!!thank you for the stars x
Here anytime hun!! : )I'm reminded once again what a newbie I am...I just NOW found that you have 19 pages on your diary...I don't know how I missed that before! I'll catch on soon, I hope. Perhaps I should go ahead and look at that tutorial thing...I've never been much for reading directions, I've always been a trial and error gal, myself!
Anyway...I'm sorry you're having a rough go with TOTM (now that I know what that means!) One thing that I do around that time keep lavender handy. In the form of l'occitane hand lotion or I have one of those eye pillows with buckwheat and lavender in it or I use an oil burner - a few drops hovering above a tea candle and the room smells like a country medow in France. Sometimes I carry around the little bottle of the lavender oil and give it a sniff every one in awhile. I can't say it helps with cramps but the lovely fragrence does help me drift off to a happier place and it helps with the moodiness. Mind you it helps, it doesn't work miracles!
I hope you find this tip handy- Lord knows you're kind words and tips have carried me through this weekend at times...thanks again for that by the way!
Hang in there :hug99:
:8855:Heya petal! You're so right about the clothes thing as if you get comfy & cosy in something it can be difficult to let it go and if you're comfy in it (like I was in my big hideous fluffy yellow dressing-gown) you start being ok about the body that it's concealing! Just make a list of where you spotted all the stuff u like and you can pop back in the January sales and get the stuff several sizes smaller just like your bod will be!!
Good luck with the crochet...I imagine that'll keep you occupied for hours alright! Will be looking forward to the lovely crochet hat & scarf you're making me for Chrimbo!!!!!!!!!
Just a question.....what the ruddy 'eck is Nordic walking....you gonna jet off to Scandinavia for a quick stroll???!! Hee hee xx
