Nine hours and no post. Cant have Sonkie killing this thread lol
On a good note it is day 3 of my restart and, while I could have killed anyone who crossed me yesterday, I am feeling good and not at all hungry today.

Took my DS to Addenbrookes today and it was all good news. As he has had no physical deterioration in the 3 years since they diagnose Juvenile Huntingtons Disease, they now think his behaviour problems are still ADHD and that the HD may not manifest for some time to come. You can imagine how thrilled he is feeling. He feels as though he has his whole life ahead now and not just a few years of getting worse and worse till he became a cabbage.

Alltogether a good day!

Hi Redpam

Great news there regarding your son - how old is he? You must be thrilled too.

Sounds like the ketosis fairy has been visiting too, so a good day all round then

Oh my what a terrible burden your son has been living with. A thrilled for him, you and all your family that the news is so good today and that your diet is going well too.

Thanks MD and Dizzy n Mizzy.
Sam was 17 last month. To think that 3 years ago we thought he might be confined to a wheelchair or at least walking very badly and his mind starting to go. Today he is at college with a part time job at B&Q. He is learning to drive (something we never thought he would ever do) and last week I bought him his first car. He is over the moon especially as he now has a serious girlfiend too. She sent me a text yesterday to say that she just had to tell me she loves him so much - aah!

If only my DH of a DH would realise what a good life we could have if he wasnt such an ar$e everything would be wonderful. Still cant have everything I suppose.

Men ..... sometime I wonder why we put up with them.

Poor thread is looking a bit neglected again.

 

[dizzy-n-mizzy]

Just saying Hi!

Got Mizzy to take my laptop to work today. It's the only way to get a few hours relief from my addiction. That's the Minimins addiction, not the food or gym addiction.

Did you miss me?

Sure did !

How has your day been ?
I have tried on some new bits today, Sam came round to give me advice.
Well I noticed today I have developed wonky hips????? one side is bigger than the other ????

Feeling really fat today, I know a lot of it is my hernia, but until its been sorted Im gonna feel huge. But I hate it, I hate the way these nice clothes look on me, in fact I feel really fed up...sniff:cry: Im pleased with waist up, but the rest needs binning, thinks sonkie is gonna put her hips, bum and tum in room 101.....Im thoroughly fed up.:wave_cry: :wave_cry: :wave_cry: :cry:

 

[sonkie]

Sam that top with your jeans looks amazing, you have done fantastically well. When I get smaller I will go swimming with you, I know you are worrying about introducing food again but if we start swimming we can try to keep it all off. You have been a great support to me and will repay by helping you.

 

[Redpam]

Here is a threadstopper for you.

I have just spent an hour at relate with my H and am now feeling very despondent. He reckons all our marriage problems are my fault, so obviously there is no hope for any good to come of it. Afterwards he was very angry because I had mentioned his playing around with other women. He did not think I should have mentioned that when it is one of the crucial points as far as I am concerned. All the way home he went on and on. So I suggested the end had come and he said he will end it when he is ready. He will not be mowing the grass (the only thing he does do around the house) anymore and he will move out when he is ready.
He is sick of me and CD and through it I have become Hitler in womens clothing. Oh I just wish he would go away and leave me alone. I cant get anything done because I am feeling so muddled all the time. Sorry to sound so miserable but I just had to get it off my chest.:cry:

One thing I have not done is turn to my old comforter - food. Day 4 and I am determined to keep going.

 

[dizzy-n-mizzy]

It's only a matter of months Sonya. You will be a new women then!

I needed a day of freedom from the laptop, but not been off it since mind.

I was stupidly tired last night went to bed 8.30 - 9.00 really overdid the gym. I was close to 1000 calories and so went for it but I was swimming after so the extra time in the gym was taken off my swimming time and I like to do my 20 lengths. So after working off 1000 calories in the gym I had to go like the clappers in the pool to do my 20 lengths in 15 minutes. HOW MAD AM I? I know it was stupid but I couldn't help myself. My body was fine no aches and pains but so tired. I couldn't concentrate on here to post anything or speak, concentrate on a phonecall was snapping at the kids. Who ended up with beans on toast for dinner.

Oh boy! Silly :silly:silly girl I am. I still loved it though!

Oh Pam

What a day! Well done for not turning to food. Are you planning for any more counselling sessions? Sounds like the first one has just brought out into the open the problems. Any chance further sessions would be able to resolve any of them?

Well done for being so strong and for not ignoring things.

[sonkie]

We have been down that route by my hubby hates talking full stop so telling a stranger our problems was a killer for him, it turned out to be such petty things that he whinged about. Then when I could have my say I said I wanted to be respected and for him to treat the children how he expects people to treat him.....well we only attended the 1 session as he thought we should resolve it ourselves.
Well obviously thats worked ...not! He also blames me for everything, even if im not around its because he is with me that he is in a mood??????????????????

 

[Redpam]

I feel the Counsellor thought there was not much hope for the future. She asked him if he felt the marriage was worth saving and he would not answer. Anyway after the first introductory session if we want to carry on with it we have to go on a waiting list which is not helpful. The Counsellor was rather a cold person I felt. Certainly not someone I felt I could frrelax and rally talk to. He does not like the idea of paying £40 per session so he cant want the marriage to work very much

Sonkie you seem to be in the same situation as me and I said much the same as you. What is it with these selfish men. Of course my Husband is not the selfish one - according to him lol

 

[sonkie]

Redpam I can sympathise with you so much, my hubby is constantly moaning saying I put him in a mood, yes even just by walking into a room. Well we are not looking to good and to be honest I just cant be bothered with him anymore. He always blames me for things and also for making him eat junk like crisps and chocolate.....like if I was making him eat......well I would make him choke on it ...lol

 

[dizzy-n-mizzy]

The counselling doesn't sound very helpful at all.

I hope someone comes along who has a better experience of marriage counselling who may be able to help.

I guess there does come a time when it's best for the marriage to end. Sounds like maybe you think that is the case. Hope you have good friends and family around to support you.

[dizzy-n-mizzy]

I love the way Sonkie brings a little humour into these situations. I guess it's a gift to always be able to see the funny side. If we couldn't we'd all be a miserable as Sonkies Hubbie.

[Redpam]

Thanks Dizzy for your kind words. I have tried so hard to keep my marriage going but he does not seem bothered because he is one of these people who is never wrong. He does not know how to say sorry.

Sonkie I know what you mean. My H always blames me and says everything is my fault. Apparently I have knocked all the confidence out of him in last 6 months. What the heck does he think He has done too me with all his playing around , secrets and selfishness

 

[Redpam]

Lol I know what you mean. Some of my friends suggestions for what I should do to H are hilarious. One of them keeps saying " I told you you should have had him bumped off when you were in America on holiday last year" I think she thinks there is an AL Capone on every street corner

LOL, we must be bloody awful women to just want to be respected and listened too. Well I really have stopped being bothered by what he says now, I think I am resigning myself that unless a major miracle happens between now and after my operation I will be off, not just for me but the boys too.
They deserve to be respected but hubby thinks kids should do everything he says. We are not allowed an opinion we have to agree with him on everything.
