I was craving ice cream for most of the day. By the time the ice cream man pulled up outside 5 minutes ago, the only reason I wanted to run out there, was the temptation to jump inside the lolly fridge and curl up in ice cold bliss! ;)

Heat has proved wonderful for my eating habits, not so good for this 1976 baby's mood :arghh: Have consumed more liquid that I could keep track of. 'Tiger who came to tea' proportions! D - Salmon burger, avocado and watercress salad.

What an inspiration! Congratulations, you look incredible and I hope that one day I can achieve what you have done :)

Ooooh that looks like all the yums! Would it be good with chicken or pork mince too?

Crackslaw??

I'm all about the peanut butter cup! Er no...correction, I used to be all about the peanut butter cup. I am now a reformed character ;)

I'm going to read that everyday. There isn't any information in there that is new to me, but reading it everyday might just keep me on the straight and narrow because it's all so obvious and reasonable and ignoring it would be too ridiculous for words. I'm also going to read it if I feel like...

I wish I had made more use of this thread last time... B - 3 cups of super strong tea, tiny splot of lactofree milk in each L - 2 courgette & feta fritters 3 rashers bacon D - 1 courgette & feta fritter, 1 tiny dab of soured cream, 3 small chicken drumsticks in tarragon, dijon and (tiny...

Strangely enough I had a similar experience with an 'Expert' course. I spent 6 weeks with the woman looking down her nose at me, even though she could see I was getting excellent results, was happy, energetic and healthy. For some reason, she really started to get in my head. Oh, and I...

@KevinPotts Thank you so much for your kind words :) I hope it wasn't an overshare :sorry: I was very cross with myself for going backwards for so long that I'm very happy to be back in the supportive fold of the forum community :)

Hi @Debmcgee I just wanted to say that this thread might well be my most favourite thing posted here! I found it 4 days ago and enjoyed getting caught up with you and your current journey. In many ways it mirrors my own story. I joined the forum a little over a year ago with a HbA1c of 50 and...

Thank you @CatLadyNZ and @Larissima for sharing your experiences me with. Although I'm not exactly happy others are in a similar boat, it is nice to not feel like I'm the only one! I really struggled through yesterday whilst trying to order my thoughts and push back the destructive voice which...

Yes, I tried the whole psychology thing, going so far as to get a degree in the discipline. I've helped myself heaps through a lot of issues and been through plenty of therapy. This is the one area I cant seem to get a consistant hold on. Being told to be 'fully conscious' of what I'm putting in...

Im not completely sure that I'm posting in the right place but here goes... I had decided after suffering from a back complaint for 3 months, that as soon as I was back on my feet I would get some control over my eating habits and weight issues. My 39th birthday was to be my final fling and I...

That's a beautiful, very touching sentiment, thanks ever so much for your very kind words :)

Bless you. It was very emotional and very special. A never to be forgotten day :)

...because for the first time in my 8 year old son's life, we went on a bike ride together and now he thinks I'm cool :) Before diagnosis, I could never, would never, have even thought to get on a bike! I was 50lbs heavier and although I was a very hands on Mama, I was not the bike ride kind of...

Cheers Buddy! Another 60lb or so more and I'll be fine and dandy :)

I started out my weight loss journey with lots of lovely walks. I bought a secondhand low impact exercise bike for 20 quid and some secondhand weights for 7 quid. Two weeks ago, I bought a secondhand mountain bike for £25. With this and addressing my diet, I've lost almost 25kg in approx 14...

Thanks! :) Quite right, just safe arrival at the first stop of a very long journey. Very pleased to know I was at least holding the map the right way up ;)
