Lol i get the shopping thing only if I send him he comes back with everything in the value range and god forbid somethings are just gross in the value range smoked salmon is vile lol

Hey hun, I totally agree, some things in the Value range are ok (on a week when I am totally skint :giggle but fish or shellfish is not one of those things, there are only certain brands of fish I will buy such as Ross or Youngs etc and that's usually only fishcakes (which I now make my own) or prawns ...I tend to buy Tesco's smoked salmon, definitely not their value range but the one that's been half price since before xmas and it's very yum...I am really fussy about my fish, other than that all my other fish is bought fresh and as often as I can get to it from a local fishmongers. , but I get what your saying as Mal would either buy the value range or the most expensive items he can find, I have to keep reminding him he's retired and we're on a budget lol xxx

I'm told they have their uses but TBH I can only think of one. And for me not only has that boat sailed but I think it has sunk too.

Hey sweetie, yep they have their uses, cleaning shopping etc but even then they have to be prodded and scolded otherwise they do a carp job :giggle: xxx

Oh Lily x

Just read this and agree with Emma - I bet you feel better for writing it down.

Glad you had a day with Kelly and sorted things out when you got home.

Here's hoping for NO MORE ACCIDENTS!

Hey hun, I do feel a lot better, always good to get it off the chest, I am a big supporter of talking about your problems (obviously some things should remain private) cos it gets rid of that lump I get in my chest when I'm wound up and agitated, as soon as I have talked or written it down it seems to disappear.
It's all good to walk away from the situation and calm down before talking, did laugh yesterday as everything was gone, not a biscuit (my biscuit barrel has always had biscuits in, can't remember it ever being empty), not a cake, sweet, chocolate bar...every bit completely gone and not in his usualy hidey holes either, I was chuffed thought wow he really ahs gotten rid of the lot, well I was wrong lol bless him he removed it from my eye sight and has put it somewhere other than his usualy hiding place, the only thing he actually threw out was the chocolate mallows cos as he said he knows that mallow is my downfall and he just couldn't take the risk of me finding it ....I thought that was quite sweet .....but he did keep disappearing upstairs last night and everytime he came back down he smelt of mints lol I think he had a sneaky munch and then tried to cover the smell by sucking a mint hahaha.... love him xxx

ouch for the foot! can totally sympathise with the men thing tho. to be fair my OH does do the DIY and odd jobs every night, but we've been in our current house 6 years now, and just about nothings finished! grrrr! it's good you have such lovely children who look after you so well. hope you have a lovely day, and no more accidents! :hug99:

Thanks hun, I do have good kids and they are great...most of the time lol spose I can't complain about that can I ? lol
Men can't live with them, can't kill em :giggle: xxxx

Aw Lily poor girly. Its good you have your daughter to look after you in times of need. Men can be so annoying. Jonas does the same as Mal he has loads of junk and would rather eat some cake than a meal but yet he is thin and doesn't need to diet. I had a thought about your shopping as well. What about either doing it online or doing it online and printing off your list to get Mal to buy the things on there?
xxx

Hey sweetie, isn't it strange that the majority of us larger ladies are married to stick thin men who not only can but do eat all their junk in front of us .....I think personally they're all feeders, they say they want us skinny and sexy but in reality they feed us and make us rotund so that we stay with them I reckon :giggle:
I do sometimes do an online shop, but there are 2 reasons I prefer not to, 1 is that I don't walk well cos of my back injury (the other exercise I can do a bit sit for a bit and so on), and it's one of the few ways I can actually get out and walk and secondly I do like to choose my own fresh produce, plus I have done exactly that with the printing off what I want, but the online site doesn't always match up with what they have in store, their are different deals online and then I get even more phone calls......for instance, the dog mixer I buy is one price online but an extra 25p if I go to the store and buy it...it just makes it more complicated and I get even more calls.....to eb fair the more he shops the less calls I am getting as time goes on....he was literally calling me 40 times and now it's about a dozen times, still annoying but I am looking forward to the day he can shop and not ring me at all.....but what annoys me more is that he will come home sometimes with an absolute bargain and I say why didn't you get a couple more and he will reply with, well I wasn't sure you'd want me to buy them :d'oh: but you just rang me a dozen times about carp why not ring one more time about an absolute bargain ???? doesn't make sense does it lol.....I don't think we'll ever figure men out :8855: xxxxxxxx

Hi Lily, sorry to hear that you have had such a rough time of it lately I've had to have similar words with my OH with regards to goodies as he is much like Mal, eats chocolates, crisps, biscuits, sweets etc and used to eat them in front of me, but after Christmas we sat down and wrote a contract, I know that probably sounds silly, but we set out some rules, ie he buys his goodies, he keeps them away from me, he doesn't eat them in front of me etc and we both signed it and its up inside his goodie cupboard so it reminds him. So far so good........ always eating the right things is hard enough without someone eating all the things you would like to eat, but can't, in front of you.Hope today is a good day for you :bighug:

Hey sweetie, what a great idea, I love that and I am going to steal it if you don't mind....I don't think it's silly to have a contract about that at all, brilliant idea, it will remind him what he has promised to do....ooooh I can't wait to get it drawn up :giggle:
Hope you're day is a good one too xxxx

Wow, you're food diary is great! I've just started off one as I joined 2 weeks ago, need to lose around 14 stone! :/ Hopefully i'll get there.. lost 15.5 pounds so far

Hey Jade and :welcome: to my diary, thank you for your kind words, they are much appreciated. I will have to come find your diary and a few other peoples too, will be good to keep up with how you're doing....that 14st probably feels very daunting right now, but you can and will do it.
Don't look at the whole 14st as it will become a bug bare, I always break mine up into half stones...I try to lose at least 7lbs every month sometimes I succeed and others I fail but I still plod on and it's got me a 12st loss so far, with about another 7st to go. I also put bad days behind me immediately as we're all human and we are going to have days where we just want to eat something that maybe we shouldn't, so my rule of thumb is if I want it, I try and ignore it but if I can't ignore it after an hour and I still want it bad, then I have it but then I draw a line under it and move on.
Minimins is a fabulous site with 100's of lovely people that will do everything they can to help you with your journey.
I won't wish you good luck as it's not luck, it's about choices, but I will say well done on your loss so far and well done in advance for all your future losses of which there will be many ...take care and have a lovely day xxx

Lovely Lily x x
Sending you a big hug x x I live on my own so don't have the temptation in front of me but a girl at work who is so skinny eats everything and doesn't put on a pound I find that hard enough x I don't have a fella at the mo prob just as well lol . Am glad you have good daughters altho with you as their mum I expect they are gorgeous people like yourself both on the inside and outside x x
I appreciate your support too it is so hard for us all at the moment still we have each other x x x

Hey sweetie, the temptation is so hard to deal with, I tried to ignore it month after month cos I didn't want him to feel he was having to eat everything I do and go without, but it just got too much...so I am going to take Dawn's lead and draw up a contract and see how that goes, cos I am pretty sure that as much as he is being brilliant right now all his little habits will creep back in and I will see the dreaded cakes, and so on all come back to where they were before :fingerscrossed: they don't lol
I appreciate your support too hun and all my mini friends too, you're all amazing and I definitely would have given up long ago I think, if I didn't have all your support :hug99: xxxx

Morning Lilly,

I have recieved your friend request via email, once I log into my lap top I will accept.

I use my I phone most of the time and I don't think I can accept it on here.

I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you!! ;-)

Take Hunny... Hope your having a good week! Xxxx

Hey hun, that's fine, I would never think you were ignoring me.
Hope you're having a good week too sweetie xxxx

Morning! Have a great day!

Hey hun, thank you, hope you have a great day too xxx

Hey Lily, hope you're good today. I've put those bike pics on my diary.

Reading all the men comments, I think I have the best of both with my Navy boy being away for half the year lol.

Hey hun, I am really good thank you, oh good I'll have to have a look.....yeah you do have the best of both worlds lol.....just trying to think where I could send Mal for half the year :giggle: xxxx

morning lovely lily, i hope your day is better and you are feeling better in your self :bighug:

Men just don't think, kelly sounds a lovely long lady but i am not surprised because she has such a special mother.

hope your foot is feeling better and you can walk on it, my mum and dad are in a similar position driving each other mad since dad retired, They will find thier way soon as will you and mal. (although sometimes it is entertaining listening to them )

:bighug::bighug::bighug:

Hey sweetie, I feel really good today and surprisingly my foot isn't anywhere near as bad today as I imagined it would be. I rested it as much as I could yesterday and also used my foot spa with cold water (had to then have a long soak in a hot bath as I was freezing :giggle, now today there is a big bruise right across the top of my foot, but it's actually hardly painful at all....I'm amazed !
Oh Mandy, I do love you to bits you make me laugh all the time with your little faux pas...I am sorry I am not laughing at you I promise, you just remind me so much of Kelly we are always giggling over her written mistakes.....Kelly is a lovely long lady :giggle: she's 5ft 8in and has an inside leg of 32 ...really long legs lol but she's also a lovely young lady and at 32 she loves being called young, I keep telling her she's young she says she's young-ish lol
Funny you should say that about your Mum and Dad, Mal and I bicker all the time and we get right on each others nerves, I spose after nearly 37 years together and with him being retired and in my face all day, we will bicker, but everyone thinks we are hilarious, we love each other to bits (at times, there are times I want to strangle him and I guess he does with me too lol) and we often get told that others wish they could have the relationship we have together...I guess we work cos we are best friends and I can truly say that even with all the things that agitate me about him, that he still makes me laugh, more than anyone I know and humour definitely has kept us together xxxx

Morning Lily

Hope you managed an accident free day yesterday
and your foot is hopefully less painful although with those types of injuries it often takes a week or so to feel better big hugs for you sweetie xx

Hey sweetie, I did manage a completely accident free day yesterday (their were a couple of near misses, but I was a bit more focused than I've been lately so avoided them *phew* lol)
Luckily enough hun, it's actually not hurting as much as I thought it would, as I said I soaked it in cold water and then had a hot bath and rested it loads and today it's being good for me lol
Hope you're having a good day hun :hug99: xxxxxxx

 

[Lily42uk]

Hey everyone, well I really need to get back into a routine and start posting my menu's regularly and try to also post my positives, there just doesn't seem like there are enough hours in the day to do everything these days :argh:
Anyway, I am as happy as Larry today....I have been so good these last few days, I think I may have found my mojo again I have been 100%...Tuesday, Wednesday and so far today as well.....the last 2 nights I have been tempted to snack (amazing how quickly we get back into bad habits isn't it), but have alleviated the temptation by having a mullerlight and banana and then last night, I had 0.5syns worth of home made coleslaw, crispy lettuce and followed that with a mandarin and have drunk extra water and done all my exercise and even with my bad feet, still done all my chores too...so this morning I decided to jump on the scales, this is pre drinks and food, so I know I automatically put on 2 - 2.5lbs the second I eat and drink and my scales say 4.5 down that means after eating and drinking that will be a 2lb loss this is on top of my water loss on Tuesday night, .....I am ecstatic

But now I am going to ask for your help...while I am good with varying my main meals I am a bugger for sticking to the same things day in day out for breakfast and lunch and the more I try to think of new things the more my mind goes a blank and I keep coming back to the same old things, so if you could just let me know what kinds of things you have for lunch and brekkie I'd be eternally grateful.
I tend to have either porridge and fruit or beans on toast with scrambled eggs and mushrooms and tomoatoes or a grilled brekkie of sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes.

Yesterday I had a lovely ham salad pitta for my lunch and mushrooms and eggs on toast for brekkie, which was nice, today I am savoury rice and sausages for brunch ....I tend not to eat too much rice, cous cous or pasta as they will invariably make my weight loss either slow right down or I have been known to gain weight if I eat them too often.

So thanks in advance for your help ....I really appreciate it xxxxx:hug99:xxxxxx

Hi lovely Larry, oops I mean Lily. :giggle: Glad your mood has improved and that your foot is moch better.

I would love to help withyour beckie & lunch ideas, but I'm worse than you. I don't do breakfast and lunch at work is a mugshot or soup ans fruit. Safe to say my menu lack imagination, but then again I lack the imagination to notice or care most of the time ans seldom get bored of eating the same things. :giggle:

I might have a go at stealing some of the ideas which will doubtless come rolling in though.

Have a good day.

 

[Mumma K]

Ooh that's a hard one Lily
I don't eat cereals full stop so eat a lot of cooked breakfast I noticed you haven't mentioned fish at all ...smoked haddock with poached eggs is a nice breakfast treat maybe served on half a toasted muffin synned of course...
I also like things like Kidney though I now its not everyones cuppa tea

Thanks for your support as always anyway sweetie, I know you're always there for me and that's every bit as important (more so actually) than recipe ideas lol
My mood is very up and down today, good mood one minute, annoyed the next.....was trying to talk to Kirsty last night and she was extremely disrespectful to me, shouting at me and banging around, now normally I would deal with the issue right there, but she wouldn't let me speak and the only way i could have done was to shout her down and to be honest I wasn't in the mood for an all out argument last night, plus she had dinner and went out immediately after, came home 3 hours later and went straight to bed...I found out today she was over Kelly's having a moan about me....I admit I can be hard to live with at times, but I'm not unreasonable and when I am wrong I will admit to being wrong as much as I hate doing it lol......but I did nothing wrong last night, she sat down to dinner and was talking about the McDonald's she had for lunch, now Kirsty was 4lbs away from goal last year and was really happy and confident and then had the break up with Mark and has put the majority of the weight lost, back on and every week on her way back from group she moans about how unhappy she is and how confident she was last year. So I said to her why did you go to McDonald's again when only last night you were moaning yet again ...I didn't say it nastily just matter of fact and had intended to tell her about the incentive/challenge that Kelly and I have devised and was going to ask her if she wanted to be part of it....I didn't get a chance to mention it, she was trying to tell me that she had been good.....hang on a whole cheesecake (8 inch one) on Tuesday night is not being good is it? So I tried to point that out, she was screaming at me and started to bang about and I asked her not to bang about, she then started shouting at me at which point I told her to have respect and to stop....she then accused me of shouting at her, Mal actually stepped in then and said your Mother hasn't actually raised her voice yet.....and basically she then upped and left and when she came in I wasn't in any mood to try and talk to her, but Kelly told me things that she said, not about me, Kelly wouldn't do that, but things that she said about what happened last night that are a complete lie and other things that she hasn't had the decency to tell me ...like the fact that her and Mark were thinking of moving into Mark's mum's house as his mum will only charge them half the rent they are paying me, I could be nasty here and say why they can afford to accept half the money but I won't secondly I have a 3 bedroom house and they have a room of their own and they put all their belongings that they don't want in their room, in my spare bedroom...in Mark's mum's 2 bedroom house they would have to share a room, admittedly the mother has put a partition down the centre of the room, with Mark's 2 brothers who are 21 and 23....So I have decided to eb very calm tonight and sit down and talk to them, and I will bring up about them talking about moving into his Mum's and will even suggest that they should, but I can assure you that if they decide to do that, I will insist that they take absolutely everything that is their's with them as if they move out I will be renting at least 1 of my spare rooms out or even taking in students, or if I decide against that then mal and I have actually discussed today about moving out and into a smaller place hopefully away from London and :fingerscrossed: somewhere nice like Norfolk ...so yes in some ways I am happy and my mood is better and in others I am a little annoyed......
Good lord I could rant for England couldn't I lol xxxxx

Ooh that's a hard one Lily

Hey sweetie, ooooh smoked haddock sounds divine, both for lunch and breakfast...thanks sweetie :hug99:

But Kidney ewwwwwwwww :yuk: nononono nothing that's had pee going through it :giggle:xxxxxx

 

[Applekath]

Make up batches of soup and freeze for lunches. Breakfasts depends on EE or original for me. Anything from a hi fi bar and fruit to an FEB. Ham chopped up in scrambled egg with chives is a fav along with smoked salmon, quark and cucumber on ryvita.

:wavey: hello my lovely twin glad to hear the weight is moving can you ask my scales to move too please :giggle: Hope you have had a good day :bighug: x

 

[Dawnejoy]

Hi Lily, just wondered if the fact that Kelly was shouting at you and not listening to what you had to say is because deep down she knew you were right and was cross with herself. The fact that she keeps eating and sabotaging herself may mean that she is not in a happy place right now and has her turning to food................I don't know, but just an idea?

Have a good evening xx

Sounds like defence to me.You know they say " attack is the better part of defence ".

Nothing forgives that kind of rudeness Lily and you know life works out in mysterious ways at times and them moving out could be the best thing to happen and then you and Mal can enjoy his retirement somewhere peaceful and pretty.

I hope you are feeling better today.

Lunch and breakfast are my 2 stumbling blocks as well but ring the changes with a delicious mushroom omelet or salmon and prawn salad and often have smoked haddock with poached egg. Baked potato with a filling is another favourite and so easy to do................I also eat loads of home made SS soupssss a real favourite is roasted red pepper and tomato.

big hugs Lily xxxx

Hey sweetie, I had decided already to spend all day saturday making up batches of different soups cos I love the stuff even on the hottest summer day, Hi-fi Bar and fruit with yoghurt, yeah that sounds good, I often have that as a late night snack but never consider it as a breakfast :d'oh: , hmmmmI am loving the idea of the ham and scrambled eggs with chives and the smoked salmon, like the idea of ryvita too, but unfortunately I hate quark unless it's in a recipe of some sort, but on it's own :yuk:, thanks for the great ideas hun, I have noted them down and will be having a few in the near future xxxx

:wavey: hello my lovely twin glad to hear the weight is moving can you ask my scales to move too please :giggle: Hope you have had a good day :bighug: x

Hey sweetie, I would gladly come make your scales move for you if I could....I am just so happy to have gotten my mojo back....had lovely home made burgers tonight and home made sw chips and celeriac chips with home made coleslaw (made with natural yoghurt and balsamic vinegar and 2 tbsp extra light mayo,1 syn for a massive bowl full) and salad, was yum but for the first time in god knows how long, I couldn't eat it all and I am still really stuffed ...
Hope you've had a good day too sweetie xxxxx

Hey sweetie, firstly it was Kirsty and not Kelly, but other than that you are spot on, she came in tonight, never said a word, put her bag down walked over to me and gave me a big hug and said I'm sorry Mummy I am such a brat, so I agreed lol
We had a chat and she also agreed that when she started to eat all the bad things that she was in a bad place and has now got into the habit of eating badly, but had decided that after yesterday and her wi night blow out (don't think she'll ever stop doing that one lol), that she had realised what she was doing and had already decided to get back onto plan again, she also said that she was shouting at me cos she thought I was telling her what to do with her money, I had asked her why she wasted her money going to group just to come home and eat stupidly and then find it funny, I told her had she let me finish she would have found out I was actually going to ask her to join our challenge and that was it...so we had a good chat tonight, cleared the air and we are all freinds again....Oh and they aren't moving out ....well not yet anyway lol :hug99: xxxxxxxx

Thanks hun, feeling a lot better today xx

Kirsty is a typical Taurus comes storming in and then stops and thinks after ......she was so apologetic tonight and to be honest it's very rare for her to talk like that to me, but I did tell her tonight she won't do it again, as next time I won't stand for it and she can bugger off. I told her she will respect me and she said as long as you do with me and I said yes of course but if I disrespect you, you should pull me up not scream and bawl at me as as far as I am concerned I would never do anything to warrant you disrespecting me as I would never do that to you in the first place ...anyway as I said we have had a good chat and we are now friends again.
Loving your foodie ideas Sue the prawn and salmon salad sounds amazing, going to have that tomorrow now as I am drooling at the thought and I have both in the freezer, yum yum and I was thinking of adding some mango to that too as I have one in the fridge :drool: Love Jacket potatoes too but never think of them for lunch so yep that's one to add.....not mad about omelettes though so might have one occasionally and already have my soup book out ready to make some batches on Saturday.
Hope you're having a good day lovely :hug99: xxxx



Thanks again, for all the great ideas everyone, certainly given me food for thought ...excuse the pun :giggle: xxxx

sounds like an eventful evening yesterday I think our children ever really see how good a deal they have living at home and think they can do much better they will learn xx

glad you have sorted it out and hope that you get to have a couple of peaceful days now xxx

my fav breakfast is fruit and yog, occasionally i will crumble a weetabix into it to add a bit of texture. Breakfast is always my most difficult meal especially if i am on an early

have a good night xxxx

Morning Lily

I'm here to help with food ideas

Breakfast - bacon butties
Dinner - BLT

 

[EmmyR1984]

I'm very much like you Lily, I get stuck and tend to have the same things over and over again.

Maybe you could try different cereals for breakfast that would count towards your hexb, like weetabix, or all bran with a banana on top.

Lunch - I was thinking of trying sausage and bacon salad one day, it probably sounds really odd, but maybe you could have salads and mix up what you have with them, like fish or meat or cheese

Dinners - this is where I tend to get stuck as I either go for bolognese or chilli con carne, I've been trying to jazz it up by adding paella in there too, but always end up going back to my usual 2 :giggle:

Hope you have a good day xx

 

[Applekath]

Lily!

This morning I had frozen spinach done in the micro with salt, pepper and spray olive oil ( got that new bertoli on 1/2 syn for 7 sprays) topped with really nice ham, a poached egg and some fromage frais well seasoned. Bit like an angelic eggs benedict. Lovely!

hey sweetie, wednesday night really shocked me, I think that's why I wasn't able to say anything, that really is out of character for Kirsty, not saying she can't be rude or mouthy, but it was really venomous and that's not Kirsty at all, she is and always has been the one that worries and cries over me, ever since she was tiny and has always been most respectful of the 2, normally you can say to Kirsty, hey that's enough and she'll apologise right away, but Wednesday was like a completely different person altogether. But as I said she came in from work last night and apologised immediately, said she had had a rough day wednesday and just felt I was telling her what to do and was really angry (I've never ever seen Kirsty that angry before ) and wasn't until she got up yesterday morning that she realised how silly she had been and rude too, said she thought about texting me to apologise but felt that wasn't right and was the cowards way...so I did drag her up right then :giggle: ...but I also think sometimes because I love her and Kelly so much and would do anything for them, that she can ride roughshod over me, boy did she think wrong lol....but as I said all sorted now thank god .
I love fruit and yog with weetabix, but my problem is I will have it day after day until I get really bored with it and that's what's happened here and then I struggle and start skipping meals ..same with lunch :argh:
Hope you have a lovely day sweetie xxx:hug99: xxxx

Hey sweetie, thanks for the ideas, not really a cereal person, porridge and weetabix are my limit, can't stand bran ewwww sorry
Funny you should say about the sausage and bacon salad I had one of those a few weeks ago and loved it, must write that one down on my board as I could see me eating that regularly :drool:
Dinners I am good with, we have a great variety, so no worries there.
I made myself a wonderful lunch yesterday was divine, did a bachelors savoury rice and added my own seasoning and herbs and spices (paprika, chilli, coriander, parsley and garlic) with 2 eat smart cumberland sausages andhome made coleslaw with a salad, it was so scrumptious
Thanks for all your help I have some great ideas there and can't wait to try them out xxx:hug99:xxxx

This morning I had frozen spinach done in the micro with salt, pepper and spray olive oil ( got that new bertoli on 1/2 syn for 7 sprays) topped with really nice ham, a poached egg and some fromage frais well seasoned. Bit like an angelic eggs benedict. Lovely!

Hey hun, that sounds divine other than the spinach, I can't bare spinach, won't tell you what I say about it, but It's definitely the only veg I can think of that I really gag on , do you think I could replace it with anything else cos the rest sounds amazing ?
Thanks for your help hun, I really appreciate it :hug99: xxxxxx

Good morning lovely people, I have made myself a plan of action up, so as from today I am going to spend 1 hour during the day on mini's and then I will exercise and do all the things that I neglect to do cos I am addicted to you guys :giggle: and then after dinner in the evening, other than the nights where we have decided we will spend time together as a family and either watch films, play games, talk or whatever, then the rest of the time is mine....I am so excited and I have definitely got my mojo back...day 4 of 100% under way I can feel a good loss coming on this week
So have a fabulous day everyone and have fun
I am going to do my positives, write my menu and then visit some diaries before I have to disappear :hug99: xxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning Lily x

As you may have seen on my own diary, I too decided a few days back that I really needed to shorten the time that I spent on here, I actually didn't even log on first thing this morning, but waited until I was having my mid morning coffee to do so.

Then I intend to pop on after lunch, before I go for Kate, and I rarely come on here after that anyway, other than if they are all out, with isn't often!

Have fun exercising!
