| Abstention day today for me after weekend of trying out the new galaxy bar, thanks to my dear daughter and husband for introducing that delight to me! Also roast pork with all the trimmings and apple crumble last night.
Oatflakes and grapes for brekkies, soup and an apple for lunch and spag bog (lots of pasta, little meat) & salad for supper. Now it is dark early got to walk the hounds on the streets instead of national trust land, which they will love with all the trick or treating going on, or perhaps forgo and nip to the gym instead! |

| Hi
well i've had a bloomin awful weekend food wise!
we have had decorators in thurs - sat and they took over the kitchen and utliity so have been having lots of snacks instead of healthy choices i've been making some rather dubious ones
you know the ones i mean , chocolate biscuits and crisps
and we had a trial run for our christmas dinner yesterday
roast turkey,stuffing,parsinps,sweet potatoes,roasties carrots,brocolli,cauli and sprouts (except for me i hate sprouts!!!)
and christmas pud with custard yum yum !!!
so i have to be a good girl now and behave myself
the only problem is the kids have been out trick or treating and we have bags and bags of candy
i will get other half to hide the candy so cannot be tempted
Mizzy

| Have a good day Liesa, let us know how you got on. Despite only having one set of trick or treaters - so loads of goodies left - have managed to be restrained and ate none of it!!
Toast & marmite for brekkies - on the hoof at 7.30 on the way to dropping YD off at the station and walking the hounds, and just going to make my salad before I go to work. Saw a diet in the telegraph yesterday about eating apples all the time, am going to have a look at the website and will report back if it looks worth trying! |

| Have been so very good since I got back on Friday, must get rid of those extra pounds
Didn't have any trick or treats last night knocking at the door so have a bag of goodies left, have resisted so far.
Day at home today so will catch up on all my housework, washing etc. will try and keep busy all day so no time to pick.
Chicken fajitas wraps tonight for dinner
Liesa, hope everything goes well for you today, let us know. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Oh no Liesa, whats happened.
I don't know the ins and outs but I think it is a great idea having a little job. Gets you out and to be something apart from Mum all the time. I know I like going out. Have only just recently been going back to work after 15 years bringing up children. Also the money helps towards our holidays.
Chin up |

| i think after 25 years of marriage and 2 extra years of being together is very difficult for some of the family to grasp, so used to me being there, hes not that happy bout me losing too much weight either, think hes feeling very insecure
i want 2 littles holidays a year and some self importance!! i wanna be wanted for me not someones wife or mother!
i want nice things in life, not that i dont have them, just want some different things now, still want my husband cos i love him!! |

| Right, so it's your Steve. I am sure that between us all on here we can think of ways for you to get over this.
I think you are right in saying that he is feeling insecure about things, afterall everything is changing, you are losing weight and wanting to go out to work.
I am going to give this some thought as I go about my housework and am sure others will be on with some suggestions.
We are not talking about a full time job are we, just a few hours a week.
I had a few problems when I started back, not with husband but the girls, so used to me being here all the time. They don't need me 24/7 now. Things will work out, I'm sure. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

Hey now Leisa, ok the opportuntiy may have passed you by this time, but I think you need to put yourself first here, for everyone's sake. Your family will want a mum and wife who is happy, they may just not realise the importance of that yet. Of course your hubby feels insecure, he's used to and comfortable with the way you are, who knows what he's imagined happening when you "change" I think you have to find a way of letting them all know that you are about to metamorphose into a butterfly, but that you won't fly away and it won't change how much you love them.
Sorry Leisa how arrogant of me to say that, but I have seen this before. It's in no-ones interest for you to be unhappy. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| I agree with everything Macka and Julie said. See if you can come to a compromise on the working front, it will give you some well deserved self-esteem and (equally importantly) some independent money - even if you do save it for the holidays!
I used to work (apart from own self-satisfaction) to pay for holidays, then it became school fees and now it's the villa / holidays!
I agree everyone has issues when you start losing weight, but your health is the most important thing, and I am sure the whole family want you around forever, and the best way to ensure that is to be fit & healthy and slimmer!
A happy you = happy family. Chin up, see if you can keep the option open at the nursing home - they will probably understand the conflict when you have been a stay-at-home mum for a long time, and will want to be supportive. Happy employee = happy employer!! |

| Thanks all for your support, i dont know maybe i am overacting? but i feel terrible i have joint pain and a cold i think (dont normally have them) so maybe feeling too low, i feel very sick as well, but i was looking at fulltime work, i am so cheesed off with leg pain and sitting staring at these four walls doesnt help!
and as for the dam dog and the whining it gets me down!!
i called the careline people and explained , the lady was very understanding, said to take some time and call them back when i am ready, they will wait, so am very pleased about that, think i am going to just have to stand up to hubby!!
thanks again!! xx |
