Bellys to Bumps

[Love2bamummy]

Imogen,

Could you use the packs to replace 1 meal per day and have a very healthy meal for the other? Not sure if you can do this but might be worth a try.

Ugh, I'm feeling really miserable today. I try so hard to stay positive, but every now and then, I just feel like giving up. It feels like i'm trapped and can't move forward in my life. I just want to have a baby, thats all. It seems to happen so easily for other people.

Sorry I'm being self indulgent, and moany, I'm just having a bad day I guess.

I so know how you mean. In my office of 18 people, there have been 5 pregnancies in 12 months. I just keep thinking why can't it be me? I said to DH, I'd had enough, we have to face the possibility it may never happen, then wnet and scoffed 6 packets of pickled onion Space Raiders

Feeling a bit better today, but I can't help feeling that everything is going against me. My age, my weight, my PCOS and diabetes. Maybe I'm stupid for carrying on rather than giving it up and accepting it and getting on with enjoying the rest of my life

You are most definately not stupid for carrying on hun, you are very, very strong. I hate that even one of us has to go through this, but we will get through it, and it will be so worth it in the end.

dont give up, what i want to say is maybe just try not to be so ruled by it but still try to bed every other day, and just have a break that way , but i know it is so hard to do.

we just have to believe one day it is going to be us sending huge hugs to every one xxxx

I believe that the best things come to those who wait, and boy, have we waited! Our times will come and there is a reason why it hasn't happened yet; I call it fate.

I weighed myself this morning and can officially post a 3lb loss over the last week! I'm chuffed to bits, but know that this week will be hard.

Foxybabyhg3 - the odds may be stacked against us, but the win at the end of it will be phenomenal!

Imogen - if I were you I'd use some of the packets to kick start, maybe doing what love2bamummy says, just replacing one meal. I'd hate the thought of wasting what I'd bought(!) and it will be company for your hubby too. Not sure you should use the z/xenical at the same time though, and certainly not with the shakes (if that's what they are as they have no fat as far as I'm aware). The thing about putting weight on after is because we go back to our 'normal' eating habits and exercise routine, but if you really concentrate on that then you should do much better this time, and with us here to help.

Love2bamummy - well done on doing all that exercise! It's so hard to be motivated sometimes to get off our bums to do it, but worth it in the end. Take it easy and I hope your aches and pains disappear soon!

4maggies - aah, we all have our off days. Drink oodles of water to help flush it out of your system and keep up the good work. I love porky scratchings!

Chiefjen83 - WELCOME! It's great on here as all the other ladies say doing weigh-ins and being there for each other when we have an off day or a rant. It's really helped me over the last week (when I joined) and I hope it will do the same for you too. My periods were when I was heavier but now I've lost weight they are much more regular. I've found that the FS's I've seen like to see that you are putting in the effort to change your lifestyle and eating habits to lose weight and understand the risks involved of being heavier and PG, so best of luck with your goal of getting down to 250lbs. It's a tough journey, but we have the strength to do it together (corny I know, but I feel I owe it to the ladies here to support them just as they support me!).

Zowiey - hope you're ok today and back to your usual self! .

Phew, what a post! Speak later ladies!

Isnt it great to get things off our chest...! I had a new member of staff a while back (she was covering a maternity leave) she kept asking me would I like kids and making references that I was married 5 years & didnt have kids, that one day I just turned round and said We dont want children as they dont fit into our schedule. I know that sounds terrible to say but I just couldnt go into it with her as 2 girls in my office just had babies & she had 3 herself so she wouldnt under stand but it did shut her up and she never asked again.... So maybe tell your MIL that you dont plan on having them just yet.... maybe in a nicer way than I told the girl in my office...LOL...

I've been telling her white lies for years (well, before we started TTC they weren't lies!). I've been saying that we're not ready, our careers are important (new jobs, promotions, university etc...), or we've got work to do on the house so it would be unfair to bring a baby into a DIY building site etc... It's only more recently that she's been mentioning it EVERY time I see her, multiple times during the day (so much so that even DH noticed and he's a typical man that doesn't pick up on crap like that!). For now I'm just avoiding her , but as it's DH's birthday at the end of next week we're bound to have to see her, so I'll see how I feel nearer the time about what I should say.

Welcome ChiefJen *waves*, we hope you enjoy it here! Everyone is very supportive, through the good days and the bad. Feel free to post whenever you need and join in the weigh ins if you feel you want to.

4Magpies, everyone has bad days I am impressed with the water and lack of tea! Hang in there.

Zowiey, hope you are having a better day today.

Love 2 - sounds like you were an exercise fiend yesterday! Hope the aches and pains have gone by now.

Imogen, the advice from the girls sounds good to me. Use one a day and eat healthily for the rest.

Foxy, awwww I understand the lure of the pickled onion space raider! We are all here for you and we all know that sometimes it's hard to feel positive. Some days are worse than others. Keep hoping that everything that you are trying is making a difference, a little at a time.

Tarkwa, congratulations on the 3lb weight loss, that's AWESOME!!

Oh dear I do wish people wouldn't keep asking about when you are having children Does she have any other grandchildren? Maybe she's desperate for her first. Doesn't help you though if she keeps going on and on about it.

I remember my youngest aunt, years ago, saying to me that she wished people would stop asking when her and my uncle were having kids. They were having problems conceiving and didn't want the whole world to know about it. In the end I think they told my nan, just to stop her from asking in front of all the family! She then didn't mention it again.

We haven't told my family yet that we are going to see the FS. I told my brother 7 months ago that we were having problems conceiving after he asked us how we were getting on (they had just announced they were expecting their 3rd child). He said, in front of all at the family BBQ, just relax and it will happen. That upset DH, as he didn't want the world to know and so now he doesn't want me saying anything to the family.

Families, who'd have them! I hope your MIL doesn't give you a hard time next week

Well ruined my good day. Had a healthy tea then ruined it. Had a piece of cake some biscuits and some cocopops. Feel bad now and wish I could undo it all.

What an idiot. I was craving sweet stuff. I'm so good then i mess it up.

Xxx

 

[Tarkwa]

Thanks Traskey. MIL does have a grandchild already but she's nearly 4 now. The sad thing is that when we do hear the pitter patter of tiny feet she will hardly get to see him/her as much as she has seen my niece. She looked after my niece so my SIL could go back to work, in fact, she retired from her job as a child-minder just to look after her. My SIL only lives a few mins away from MIL, but we're about an hour away and MIL doesn't drive (which is a good thing!) so has to rely on others for a lift.

Hey 4maggies, just eat loads of grapes - they always give me the trots ! Don't worry about having some yummy things - I had a piece of cake tonight too. Just be good tomorrow and forget about it!

[Traskey]

Ok, i'm now on the C4 +1 channel. Got to watch my Silent Witness first

I haven't done any exercise today, I was going to tonight but i'm still finishing my work for tomorrow. Better make it up Tuesday!

 

[Tarkwa]

SPOILER ALERT - OMG, watching OBEM and can't believe what Donna has just said. She said she's disappointed she's going home 'empty handed', just because they are sending her home as she is only 4cm! How ungrateful, and it's #2 for her. Sorry if anyone else finds my comment unfair, but I don't think she really understands what empty handed actually means! Raaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghh!!!!!

[Traskey]

You rant away girl! It's good for the spleen

 

[Pinkee]

And I gained a full pound barely did a workout thursdayd, didn't exercise Friday or Saturday and celebrated my birthday. Cookies cakes and carbs.

Man I won't be doing that again!
