Well mixed feelings for this christmas won't bore you with too many details but today all I have wanted to do is eat. Weetabix = 1 whole, tried a sandwich but bread still a no go. 2crispbread rounds with low fat peanut butter, 4sweets a bowl of golden nuggets with milk. (Full bowl) and a bag of smiths chipstix now feeling guilty that I will put weight on :( flip side I drank a litre and a half fluids today :)
 
Oh my goodness hunni dont feel guilty you need to strike a balance somewhere mrs.... youve barely eaten since your op am blooming sure one day eating because you could wont gain weight.... im sure if you calculate the cals its still pretty low........ as long as you stuck to the rules re eating slow and stop when full .......no pain............no dumping then am sure everything's pretty dam good ..............am dead chuffed you managed to get some goodness in at long last...... bread will be a no go hunni...................for most of us its off the menu these days, try toast i find it goes down better............. but honestly i try steer clear of the stuff :)

I'm defo going to try my best to avoid bread as it causes so much pain but years of training for a sandwich is easy will have to be brainwashed lol. I do eat slowly but the dumping is still there and happened with the golden nuggets, silly its afterward tho because if it was at first spoonful it would be best warning not to try more lol....I think the snow has missed you if you got rain as some have had a fair few inch today. Come rain or shine tomorrow I will be out and about as even though it's rest I hate feeling trapped.
Went with my dad and brother to where they scattered the mother's ashes his first christmas without her and all the way there was thinking my feelings haven't changed but when I saw the sadness on my pops face it dawned on me how selfish I have been. He was ten when his mum and dad died within 3 weeks of each other and lived alone there after in the same house where they lived until he was 21 (he worked in a pit and so got to keep the house if he paid the coal board). He had no previous girlfriends when he met and married the mother and was with her 49 years. Seeing his sorrow made me feel guilty that I have not considered his feelings at all and that's so wrong of me. No matter my pain it doesn't come anywhere near his....I gave him a small gift yesterday of aftershave and his words were " you gave me this last just before your 18th birthday" his is 4days before mine and had tears in his eyes. I didn't know it was the first gift that she bought him until he told me this I just remembered that it was his favourite and now I know why. He knows I love him to bits and blamed him for not being strong enough to put a stop to her abuse. So after all this time I now see its time for me to move forward. Big thing for me but I think it's now time.

Re charge or replace your batteries hun because moments caught in a second can last as a beautiful reminder for the rest of your days and where you live is so very very beautiful dear friend and I hope you have a million of the very best. Huge hugs xxx xxx

I certainly think you are right hun because my other half wasn't very pleased that I didn't want to have dinner with the MIL and 2 of our children not even sit at the table to watch them eat but my oldest was late and I didn't want him to eat alone. 5 hour later he turned up by then I couldn't eat I just sat with him while he ate his. All this hype over food looks so crazy now where as before it was the be all and end all. Now all I think of is pyramids and sand lol. Take care :) xxx
 
It's so true Cupid all the fuss about food, I've just found it difficult today went to youngest daughter and she put on a lovely spread did us proud but unfortunately it was all stuff I couldn't have eaten if I tried, cream cheese, fresh cream, pastries, spreads patties so I came home without eating. But I coped she was doing more fussing than I was. But glad you have managed to drink more and set a bit. Long may it continue :)

Hmm very thought provoking hunni funny how we blame others for the pain someone else put us thru.... I have done my fair share of that too, blaming my mother for all that happened ......when really i know she was never strong enough to put a stop to it, just like your dad....unfortunately that feeling will never leave us, but it helps to go someway to atleast to understand.... i will never have that close relationship now because it holds me back but it also hurts inside to feel this way.... hmmm just take it as it comes sweetness, i have worked for so many years on this one, it takes alot of healing and releasing to get past, but so good if you can. This wl journey has helped for me because so many of these past issues were all tied up with my weight, as the layers have shifted so have the issues (they had to) and im sure yours will shed too as you peel back those layers of protection we have packed on.

Small steps all the way hunni :D you will find the eating your emotions around this now has to stop and finding ways to deal with it comes so differernt.

Sweetdreams hunni thanks for the beautiful word dear friend ... you make me smile ;) x x x x huge hugs sweetness
 
Your post resonates in me. All I can say is I also feel that pain and offer you (((((huggs)))).

I wasn't able to let go of my anger and hurt completely until both my parents had died. It would have been so much better to have done so while they were still here. Your desire to move on is a very positive sign xxxx

Hope the news at the hospital is as good as it can be in the circumstances xx
 
Huge hugs coming your way sweetness x x x I shall light my candle and send love n light his way. Take this as a timely reminder that life is too short to be holding back anger and grudge towards another .....esspecially those we love x x x x go and spend some special moments with him while you can, regreats can be as harmful as the resentment x x x x x

Hugs Kirsy too x x x x

Now re that pesky + hunni forget it and move forwards.... no amount of worrying will put it right, see it as a swift kick to get back on the straight and narrow...............am pretty sure its not a gain more like bulk after eating yesterday..... tip try weighing again on monday (or after a bm) i bet its gone again :)
In the meantime put it clean out of your head and concentrate on you, pops and the family :) x x x x x x tons of thoughts coming your way x x x x

sat waiting to go on the ward I hear all that you say hun and thanks everyone xxx
 
Hate seeing my pops with his Frankenstein wires as he calls then but hate it much more that he's not smiling. Staying put for a while and he's defo not happy. Finding out that my oldest brother left him to move flat by himself this week because his wife disapproves of the fact he didn't consult her. I'm fuming to say the least. Apart from the last 3 years I have looked after my pops and the mother before she committed suicide a year ago come New Year's Day. I was at their beck and call and not one of my 3 brothers were ever bothered for anything. Wherever I moved they followed too (their doing not mine) from cleaning to decorating or setting up the tv for them and he couldn't help for one day and my dads almost 74 had a heart condition and needs a knee replacement pft'! How I will hold my tongue tomorrow I don't know. Sorry for the rant all I'm just so fused at the moment.
