Re: Now some questions from me.- to MEL>Mish

[Guest guest]

A retailers wet dream - I love that saying!!! Good on you for being

so organised that you are wrapping Christmas presents already.

I agree, reaching that sweet spot is not much fun is it. I love not

being consumed by hunger and only eating smaller portions which I

hope will make me lose weight, however I too miss the pleasure of

eating like a normal person. I went to a BBQ xmas party yesterday

arriving with a massive headache from sleep deprivation and with a

few Nurofen inside me. Then I spent 6 hrs crazing, drinking champers

and had a wonderful time, almost forgetting that I was a bandit. I

chewed, ate slowly, no pains, watery eyes or scares - I was the same

as everyone else there and didn't have to disguise or do anything -

it was great, but we can't all take 6 hours to eat our meals. For

us, I guess this is our trade off, so we have to make every mouthful

count.

Cheers

Cherie

of porridge earlier, so I have had something sunstantial today, but I

want to know whether this is where I'm supposed to be at- IS THIS THE

SWEET SPOT- what irony! This isn't what living is all about!

> I'm sure I'm losing- a good thing, the scales say I have, but I

just don't like being in pain, having to burp everything down, eat

slowly, walk around etc. The slow eating thing is hardest for me,

because when i'm physically hungry, I want it now, not by going all

ADHD and having a mouthful, getting up, walking around, hanging out

the washing, talking on the phone- whilst standing, going back for a

mouthful etc. I find it especially hard at work, because I only get

two times to eat, and although I'm hungry and want to scoff when I

get my break from the classroom/ playground duty, I can't take my

time, it's a real " now or never " thing, so I end up living on cuppa

soup and frousse just so I can get something in there, whilst

everyone else in the staffroom tucks into mighty salad rolls,

focaccia and more, AND holding a conversation, whilst my eyes glaze

over and I rush to the toilet. NOT FAIR. And..... the pleasure's

going from chocolate!

> You've said it before Mel, and I wholehearldly agree, whoever

thinks that this band is the easy way out should live a day with one

and then re-assess their judgements.

> As for my tingly thumb, the thing that annoys me is that I AM

LOSING WEIGHT, I'm doing what the Docs have recommended, I've lost my

10% and some and NOW the health issues come to plague me- I've got

this thumb thing, a ropy ugly vein that aches in my leg which has

emerged since I've lost some calf fat, and I'm being checked over for

fibroids/ endometriosis, I'm needing soove/ curash like it's going

out of fashion (love that lignocaine in Soov)(I never needed this

before!) I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone with this one, it's not

one of those health issues that one normally hears about with being

overweight, but it does make sense. What are the lotions and potions

you put on your thumb??

> Sorry for being a icky and a misery-guts on you all. I'm going to

make some iced tea and go wrap some Christmas pressies- that should

cheer me up. I spent way too much at Borders yesterday- I have no

control over my spending at Chrissie- I'm a retailer's wet-dream!
