Discovery Home & Health

Headache still humming along nicely...4 litres down already ...one pack left (hot chocolate at 9pm with Most Haunted!!). Feeling a bit groggy, but sooooooo light inside!!! OH has gone off to his basketball for the evening and this is my BIG time danger zone for bingeing! My therapist says it stems from a subconscious fear of abandonment due to my father leaving unexpectedly when I was young....she'll be a Freudian then! I think it's because I get bored alone in the house all evening and look for something to do..sadly it has never been an exercise DVD! Tonight my diversionary tactic is to sit here and type like mad and hope that someone else is out there is Cyberspace.

Hi vicky,
I'm just back from my Wi and I put on 3lb this week. I was expecting it. but I'm not going to moan, just accept it and move onto a new week.

Like you, I get tempted when the OH goes out. I don't think it's anything about abandonment. It's more a secret eating thing. If nobody sees it then it's not really happening. and they don't see you as cheating either. Sunday afternoon is the worst when he goes out to watch the football for a couple of hours. it's that lazy Sunday feeling when I could lye on the sofa watching tele with a bar of something in my hand.

Well, if your still out there, I'll keep you company and away from the fridge.

OK confessions of a secret eater....have you ever planned a binge, gone and bought the food ready and then left it in your car until he goes out? I used to do that every Tuesday and Thursday...it scares me to think about it now...but I admit I'm fighting the impulse to go to the kitchen and make myself 4 rounds (and the rest huh!)of toast and honey!!

Vikki.

I've never left food in the car. I tend to eat it while i'm driving then have to find a place to hide the wrappers.
I'm the same in the kitchen. If i eat anything I'm hiding the wrappers again. It's the only time I empty the kitchen bin into the wheely.

I have been reeding other posts as I didn't think you were logged on. I gust read that your OH is from cwmbran. Thats were I live

Yup...he was born in LLanyravon Way and his parents are there still...he's turning 40 this year and went to Croesyciliog Comp. We live in Talybont on Usk now...so not too far away!

Hi Vikki, your cyberspace mates are always here for you hun, you know that. I am shattered tonight, been painting all afternoon and probably over did it with the cold, but things have to be done, but will be up a bit longer if you wanna chat hun, you have kept me from the fridge on many occasions so if i can return the favour i am here. Karenxx

well thats just scary. My other halfs name is Michael Arnold. He was known as Arnie, hes 40 this year and from LLanyravon. I'm a few years younger and from Croesyceiliog.

What's your Oh's name?
What a small world this is.

I hope you've left that toast alone. I have a query for you. How do you manage to drink all the water. I struggle all the time. on a good day I'll drink 4 pints. but don't always manage that.

Hi honey...we haven't been here together for AGES!!!!!!!! I'm doing OK really, part of the plan is accepting that being on my own is a problem and working to do something about it. I know I could never be a forces wife...I'd be whale sized in no time!

I'm amusing myself by watching Ebay and seeing how stupid the prices for LighterLife are getting....I should have just sold my leftovers and cashed in...or use them and get happy?

Vikki.

Sam, I'll ask the OH when he gets back..his name is Hugh Ryan, he has an older brother Wayne and sister Dawn.

you're right about it being a small world, Oldummy lived in the same town as me in Sussex about a bazillion years ago!

Vikki.

Definately use them and get happy vikki. I know the prices of CD on there are stupid too, why do people pay those terrible prices, what a rip off. Hows the training for the race for life going? I just cant wait to move now and get doing some exercise (i dont mean Tim either, before your mind goes off on one). I cant wait to rejoin CD too and get this last bit off, wish i had stuck with it to the end now. Karenxx

Sorry Karen, I didn't see your message. Do you have to paint the whole house when you move? I've never had any association with the army so have no idea.

I hope your cold eases up especially as Tim should be home on the weekend.

Sorry Sam I forgot the water question...it's down to some military planning on my part or I won't get much more than 4 pints down me either. I always have a pint first thing before any other shake/soup/coffee..I have 2 litres on my desk at work to have through the day (I only work 9-3 mind), another pint as soon as i get in, which leaves 2 pints across the evening. I drink it warm so I can neck it down! I never have the flavourings because they give me horrible trapped wind.

Karen, the training is not going at all right now as my ankle is still bad and then I cricked my neck and couldn't move my arm all weekend (old injury playing up!). Feeling kinda tetchy and ready to move my blood a little now!!!!

Vikki.

Hi Sam,we dont have to paint the whole house, but if you have had pictures and shelves or whatever on the walls then you have to take out the picture hooks, fill in the holes and make the walls good, so obviously that means painting over the whole wall. I have been doing this for 13 years and about 11 moves now, thank god we are going into our own home this time, no more of this and no more magnolia, everything in an army house is magnolia.

I am praying this cold eases up by the weekend too, typical, its the only time i have been sick in the whole 9 months he has been away in the past year, so been pretty lucky really. Karenxx

Everything in Royal Navy Establishments is magnolia too..i wonder if it's a MOD issue magnolia?

Vikki.

Vikki, i am sure you will catch up with the training soon hun, you have to take it easy when your body isnt up to the job otherwise you will do yourself more damage than good. Karenxx
