I've been doing some thinking Kelli and I wondered whether your DH be willing for you to have those 'Jenny Craig' or something similar meals delivered to your house? I was thinking that could be a good way for you to get in control of portion sizes etc and once you'd done that for a few weeks or months you could then replicate the meals you like at home for a fraction of the cost. How far is he willing to go to help you get healthy? Gym membership for when (not if) you get healthy enough perhaps, or is he just a moaning winger, who can only spot faults but can't or won't lift a finger to help.
Having said that though Kelli go with your gut instinct and pick an eating plan that is right for you.
No weigh in for me this week. DD was rushed into hospital on Sunday night with breathing problems and ended up in intensive care , she's now on the road to recovery and we hope to get her home either tomorrow or Sunday. I've been staying with her at the hospital until today, so any thought of dieting or exercise has been to be honest the last thing on my mind.
DD is out of hospital!. Now I've got to get rid of the 5lb I've gained over the past week. Hope to hear from you both soon regardless of whether you're on track or not. After all life is never simple or easy, and who knows what is going to happen.
Hey Guys,
I'm sorry that I haven't been posting for awhile. but "stuff" is happening with me. I've got DH issues, and on that note, I "finally" confronted him and said that we need to seek counseling. (Let me tell you a little something about me: I'm not confrontational. If it can be avoided, I do.)
He said to me, "Whatever I need, we'll do."
The other day he asked me if I was "that" unhappy.
Oh my gosh, after YEARS, he asks me that question. What....is he totally blind?
And, I just got back from Washington state visiting my DD and my family. Was up there for a couple of nights. Then, I have DS with his schooling and issues. And, ya' know, life!!!
Plus, DS has been using my desk for his laptop place to do his homework, so then I just pushed my computer aside and I just don't get online much at all.
Sorry guys.
Ash, school sounds intense. Hope you are enjoying it.
I've been toying with the idea of returning to school. In fact, I'm going to check online today with some websites I've seen on TV.
Nicki, sorry to hear about DD. What was the final diagnosis?
But, I am glad that she is out of hospital now.
I have another (as if "health issues" isn't enough!!!) incentive to lose the weight.
I just found out that I have a cousin and his wife coming over to visit in February or March from England that I haven't seen in..... YEARS.
Well ladies, hope in general life is treating you well. I'm going to check into a counselor and get that in motion and who knows, maybe things will improve. But, I'm still going to check into my legal rights in case we do divorce. Might as well be prepared for which ever. Right?
I'm here, though life has been a little hectic recently, which has mean't less time to be on the computer. Kelli of course you've done nothing wrong, so get that idea out of your head at once. Dieting has also taken a back seat, and to be honest I'm not stressing out over my weight either.
How's everything with you Kelli? It looks like you're taking positive steps to get control back into your life. I'm very proud of you.
Thinking of you Ash and I hope everything is going you're way.
Hi Guys, My goodness it's the time of year where it's busy, busy and busy!
So, because of that fact, I wanted to take this time to wish you both the happiest of holidays. I don't know how often I will be getting online for awhile. Between DS's schooling, which I might add seems to be a constant battle, and I just found out my DD is engaged and now with Christmas activities and ya' know......life. Phew!!
Hey Kelli,
Thank you for the holiday wishes. I hope you have a wonderful one. Sounds like you have lots to celebrate! How exciting about dd's engagement.
This is my last day of school for a till January. I am excited (because I am tired) but nervous about not having structured days. I am going to work it out tho.
Signing in to say that I'm still here even though I'm totally out of control food wise. My weight is higher than it was when I first joined these boards, and I can't exercise because I've gone and strained my back.
The good news is that Zoe is better, and I'm getting therapy to get to the root cause of my overeating on the good old NHS in the new year.
