9.13....fiat 500...I hate you even more...! this was the one car I wanted but we don't do fiats at work, they're gorgeous little bubble cars, especially the flashy interior!!! ( jealousss) and in pink
Only you can decide re car, alot of my colleagues have the golf and love it...I was the oddball and had a seat Leon however.
Still can't believe the cals you can consume.....I'm just a tad envious! You're eating near on double than me....just shows how we are all different! you get comfort eating girl to accompany me as the scales rise! Lol!
Hope hubby is ok, can't say it sounds great, he should put in for extra danger money. xxx

 

[flutterby1966]

Deal, I will comfort eat for you so much so, that I won't be able to fit in my bubble car any more ... The only thing I have not done is get eyelashes for it ... But I have the pink fluffy pampered princess seatbelt cover take it easy x

Oh no....no eyelashes...too chavvy! Don't spoil the look! X

 

[flutterby1966]

Oh, i am so grown up. Chav is making homemade yoghurt in my slowcooker for the first time today ... Fingers crossed it works out ok, otherwise the pooches will be drinking it :cry:

Been batch cooking bolognese sauce today to go in the freezer...Packed with veg and loads of protein. Making blondies tomorrow...packed with butter, golden syrup, honey and white chocolate ... Not calculated the damage yet Will keep a couple as a treat, and the rest will be given to my neighbours ... One way of having nice things without binging! Eaten a bit less today, just to compensate for tomorrow

New car ordered ... Red Astra ... After reading about transfer addiction on another thread earlier, I think new wheels will be mine

Tropical super storm

Hubby is stuck in middle of Pennsylvania suffering the tropical storm/hurricane sandy. No electric, loads of rain and flooding, 100 mile an hour winds and the threat of snow flights and public transport cancelled. Worried about him. He was due home at the weekend for my birthday and our wedding anniversary. :sigh:

Not been weighing food for last few days. Would definitely need another 1/4 mil to give me decent restriction I think, but I am going to wait till December I think before speaking to dietician about possibly having a teeny fill. Anyway I am up to 10st 3lbs this morning ... I know I want to regain back to 10st 7lbs ... But it's not a very pleasant feeling getting there :cry: off out to dinner (fourth evening out in a row) tonight. Friends round tomorrow for Sunday lunch, then I am in Edinburgh all next week on a training course. I have never been a gym bunny, but I feel an urge coming on to put on my Lycra LOL

 

[misselvis]

Thanks Kelley ... you will b there soon. Good luck on Tuesday for the op. That is the day I go for my first fill, so a day for us both to celebrate.

hi

thanks

2lbs gained this week. Two more to take me back to 10 1/2 stones and i will be back to what i was 2 months ago before my op...and then I will be really happy I definitely look better for the bit of regain ... Less boney. There has been so much food available on my training course with lots of sauces so not always easy to make the best choices. Anyway that was last week and its definitely convinced me to book in for a quarter mil fill (not had one for almost 8 months) If I don't want to rely on calorie counting I do need a little more help hubby off to Australia on Monday for three weeks ... So no temptations around me either then we are into Christmas party territory...my fill on 30 November will be perfect timing. Hubby got all sentimental last night watching children in need and said he had been thinking for the last 18 months that maybe we should consider fostering/adoption again as his travelling is going to really reduce from next year :cry: I have wanted another child since I had my daughter 24 years ago, but have experienced some hard times conceiving/losing and wonder at tender age of 46 with the disadvantage of 1 ovary remaining (offset against 10 stone weight loss) whether I would like to try for us to have our own lots of careful thinking to do ...

Wow big decisions to make by the sounds of things Michelle x do what your heart tells you not your head was my dr's advice when I asked when was too old x I had my first and only child at 38 and still thinking about another I'm 41 now.

Congrats on the weight gain (are we allowed to congratulate a gain on this site lol)

 

[mimi42]

If you want to try for another baby I would say go for it.there is nothing like having your own and you are never too old if your body is still willing then go for it .I would start trying straight away see what happenes and have fun while your there.good luck.

Off to have an ENERGY snack :flirt2:

Do let us know if you decide to "go for it" Flutterby -- I will be so interested.

I am 44 but will be 45 by the time I reach goal and I have almost given up hope of having children now.

When I was 36 I had a BF for a while (my one and only) and he actually did want marriage, babies, living together, the whole caboodle with me ..... but unfortunately I did not want him (not quite enough) ..... and possibly I let go of what might have been my only chance.

Then when I was 40 I had a "cyber" romance with the man who did not want to meet me (due to my weight) -- he was not a Nigerian scammer or a phoney person who did not exist. I know who he is and where he lives, he is real ..... but he just never ended up being a "real" part of my life. I did get broody during the 6 months of our cyber romance as I fell for him hook, line and sinker (stupid, Sharon, stupid !!!) ....... and I wanted his child, altho it was never likely to happen even if we had met. (He had 5 children from previous relationships and had had the snip and did not want to discuss reversal or any other options ..... so even if he *had* deigned to meet me in real life he probably would have *still* broken my heart not being willing to give me a child !!!).

I have got to the stage in life now that I have virtually "accepted" that it is not going to happen and 99% of men I meet over the age of 45 have already had one (sometimes two) families already and have a host of their own children and are not looking to do the baby thing again.

===============================================

Soz ....... scuse me wittering on about me -- just background -- the reason why I would be very interested to know if one of our WLS peeps does do the baby thing again after the age of 45 !!!

I believe Jo is in her second relationship Sharon - I wouldn't give up hope. Equally, I wouldn't go into any relationship with all those expectations behind it.

Michelle, I feel for your angels, and the pain you must feel and can completely understand your fear. But if wls has taught me nothing else then sometimes what you get if you close your eyes and take the plunge can change your life for the better. Whatever you choose, I know you'll make it work

 

[flutterby1966]

Maybe I just close my eyes and dare to dream. Chances are very very low of success but its never gonna happen if we don't even try

Sharon don't lose hope ... I met my hubby when I was least expecting. I had split from hubby no 1 and was more than happy being single and just doing the dating thing. Internet chatting was great practice for building my confidence though. amazing just how many weirdos popped up online. great thing is so long as you keep your wits about you, you can have great satisfaction in blocking all the 'wrong' types and be confident more choices will come along. Met hubby no 2 via my brother though when i was not looking for a relationship. I was definitely not dressed to impress that day but something just clicked between the two of us...and 11 years down the line we are still together. Don't over think things Sharon, have fun, and your dreams will come true xxx
