Countdown to Balloon Launch

[femfrankie]

Was at dietician tonight and she was well impressed with my lose... Just over 15lbs since my last visit a month ago ... But... There is always one isn't there ... I have to eat more protein. x

 

[femfrankie]

That's the tragedy femfrankie, we both love each other dearly but too much water has passed under the bridge. Sure he drove me over to Manchester, through the snow, in Gale force winds for my balloon. He then looked after little one for three days as I recovered. He had a cold and I was accusing him of having man flu. We came home and discovered he actually had pneumonia. He was sent immediately into hospital. He has never ever said anything about me spending so much on the balloon especially since I have now lost my job.

Made of gold but drives me insane!!!!!

Aww hun I think that's it. You simply either can live with each others quirks or you can't . Hope he is well recovered now... Having had pneumonia several times it is no joke believe me. X

Indeed. He has made a full recovery but there were shadows on his lungs for a while.

Rose you can do this.. you know you can. Wishing wont get you there and you know this. I sometimes feel like this too except my target is another 12st away but i made a promise to myself that come hell or high water i will get there because this is my last chance to do so. I think its at these times when our heads try to dictate to us making it difficult to resist falling off the wagon. I had a little demon on my shoulder last night when i came back from the dietician. I dont see her for another 6 weeks now and my head was telling me go on & have that packet of mini eggs in the kitchen drawer because 1/I deserve it and 2/I have 6 weeks to work it off. eh?!? It took alot of will power & I did resist but it wasnt easy. Lets be honest with or without the balloon it is not easy at all. The only thing I can say is remind yourself of why you started on this journey and what where the goals you set yourself from the start. Most of all be proud of what you have acheived Rose because you have done superbly well and you need to recognise that. :flowers:

You make me laugh so much!!!!!

I am just tired with all the other stuff going on at the moment.

 

[femfrankie]

Yep I hear you.. .how is the job hunt going?
Money so damn tight here at the mo its depressing and to be honest a high protein diet is hard to maintain as it is without feeling guilty about it x

Its not!!!!! Moving on...

Can you give me an idea of what your high protein day is like?

I think I need to eat more protein too. I use a lot of eggs and whites.

Hi ladies. Sorry not been around as I have been laid up with of all things gout! Just when I am told to up the protein intake I develop bleeping gout because of the amount of protein I am eating .... Geeez you can't win!

Rose big cyber ((((Hugs)))) to you I am sure you will find something soon. I sort of know how you feel as I too had that dream job except I had to give it up because of my back and border-lining COPD. Its at this point I sought comfort in food as I hit a major low. 42yrs old, family all but one had moved on and i had been forced into a retirement that I did not want with no energy left to try and enjoy it. Don't fall into the despair as I did. I gained a whopping 5stone in a year! Dust yourself down hun think positive and strive to stay away from Nandos!

CB4 well done on being strong Xxx

Don't say a word against nandos!!!! Actually, it's not that high in calories. Anyway, very rare treat as there are only a few of them in Ireland and the nearest one to me is over 100 miles away.

Sorry to hear about your gout, never a break!! My back has been worse than it ever been. Nerve block should happen someday in April.

 

[cb4]

I'm heading off Tuesday can't wait!!!!!

Yea, I'm 28, down 6 and a half stone and the cold is killing me!!!! Fybomylgia is so bad!!!!
Have a gangolein cyst back on wrist too, so sore!!! Have had it removed twice and drained once!!!
One would think health would be on the way up!!!
I'm suffering with bacteria in the gut but can't get it checked till the balloon comes out!!!!!
Still haven't told anyone about having it and refuse to tell the doc!!!
Sorry!!!!
Here is to better health
