willow(and others) i bet the other girls at your class feel exactly the same .....why not have a midweek meet up with some if not all of them to give yourselves a wee boost and that bit of motivation you need in between weigh ins?

I was wondering - if you go to two meetings a week do you have to pay for two meetings? It says a "weekly fee is payable". Just wondered about going to one midweek, not to be weighed but for the talk.

i dont know!!.......i was meaning an informal meeting..........FREE ...unless you include the price of a coffee
bring it up at your next weigh in meeting though, see how many others feel exactly the same, be interesting to know

If only there was a way to bottle that enthusiasm and motivation, it's such a slippery devil, there one minute and you have the strength, willpower and motivation to sail through the day, and then the next it's deserted you and you eat like it's your last day on earth!! :rolleyes:

lol dotty one...........friday was my last day on earth, i ate literally everything i could......was binge city....... i feel so sick when i think about what i stuffed in me gub
but saturday was another day

Tootoot - I'm not the sort of person that would be comfortable with something like that. Hence the thought of attending a second meeting.

Dotty - I remember reading that there is no such thing as willpower. It is all about setting yourself up to suceed or fail.

succeed or fail...............what about the wee stage in the middle
the inbetweeny stage!
:rofl: is there a name for that
my daughter printed out my signature.....the bottom half of it and laminated it all and stuck it in the cupboard door
wonder why i never thought of doing that before, because as much as i hate to admit it shes right , i do want to be slimmer more than i want that late night packet of crisps or biscuits

Hi Willow.

For me its will power all the way, I never think about possible failure, its too depressing. Just keep plodding and you'll get there in the end. As Dory said 'Just keep swimming'

On you WW I think they would allow you in a 2nd class in the week, especially if its the same leader as the one you have already attended. I've done WW many times, and am on it again now, and the leaders really try and help. If that would help me I'd go twice a week.
You have the best motivation with your son so Good luck

But if you make the decision to set up an environment in which you CANNOT fail, then willpower no longer becomes an issue - or at least it no longer becomes an issue 24hrs a day.

Sort of, I won't take money into work because I know I'll spend it on crisps from the cafe. So therefore at work I don't have to worry about willpower because I simply don't have the means of giving in and having the crisps

wow talk about being hit with the binge bugger
i have seriously hit mad munchy mode this afternoon, and right into evening too
i will try and make up for it the rest of the week by being extremely conscientious!!sp? mind you i dont know why or what caused this to happen.so how will i know what to avoid or what situation not to allow to happen the rest of the week............. mind you im back to work tomorrow(yeeeehah) so no more mrs housewifey, its ok for a short time but i dont think i could handle being a full time stay at home mummy, im so bored, kids are at school all day house is gleaming, how does anyone fill all those hours of spare time, no wonder i turned to munching, anything to kill the boredom

That happened to me yesterday Toot :yikes: what a bleeding gannet! I did'nt stop and today when I went for groceries the hot cross buns were out and I bought a 12pk :eek: i've already eaten 2 and i'm not that bothered about them really :rofl: it was that old :devil: boredom :yawn: if i'd have still been at work (we finished early) then I would'nt have been able to do it :rolleyes: or wanted to :halfempty

your right cat .....boredom was the culprit yesterday, but today im back at work only doing half a shift so im working 8-2pm, the time i finish get the wee one from school get her home and fed do her dishes then get the older ones meal on, get the washing in, iron it, get the days dirty washing in, do older ones dishes, feed dh, wee ones bath then ive not got time to be bored, i stood on the scales this morning and they had the bloody cheek to tell me id gained 2lbs, just from that yesterday, so ill have to spend the rest of the week trying to disperse of that 2lb
funny how my thinking has changed now, before if i had a major binge on a diet id say fcuk it and just restart dieting on the following monday........explains why i was never actually losing anything:rofl:

Sorry but I need a whinge
 

That is exactly how I feel. Last weekend when we had visitors, we did eat out a lot, :devil: but I tried to choose the best diet things on the menu and thought I'd gotten away with it, but NO. I am really fed up, Since they left on Wednesday I have been really good, lots a points free vegetable soup, home cooked meals etc. and do the scales reflect this Do they :censored: not. 4 days after they left, they decided to show I'd put on a pound, :eek: (I know it doesn't sound much, but when you averaging 1/2 lb a week with absolutely no cheating, its a major set back.
Two trips to the gym, and nothing sweet passing my lips, and carrot soup for my lunch every day, still no change. I was really needing a weight loss this week, as its my trip back to the UK this weekend and I'm staying with my friend, and she's talking about going for a curry having bacon butties. Its going to be torcherous, thats when there's nothing but will power. My friend is slightly over weight too, but she's in the I don't care about my weight mode at the moment.

I find this is when its really hard, when you have lost a little bit and are feeling much better and people can tell, and they say nice things and you feel happy. :D THEN it happens, you become complacent, and when someone says 'its only a bacon butty' with butter and 2 pieces of white bread (8 points), :s: its only a bit of Naan with your curry (30 million points). :s: And I'm away from home so i can't sweat it off in the gym.

and I won't be able to log on line and listen to you chats, (which i admit really motivate me, its like a WW meeting every day).
So I have carrot soup again today, and my WW weight in tomorrow night where currently any loss would make me happy even 100g (1/8lb) even though I was hoping for 0.5kg (just over 1lb).
But I will not quit, I will be able to wear something that looks good in the summer; other than baggy linen trousers :strong:

OK I've gone away and calmed myself from the panic. And I'm going to practice saying Nooooooooooo.
I'll say yes to the alcohol and No to the food. then I won't blow my points. And I'm goig to suggest goign to a niteclub and dance rather than a curry. I haven't done that since november.
:dance:
