Scavengers

I have turned into a scavenger,I roam the house all day looking for things to eat and i'm piling on the weight,it has become a bit of an obsession,and whereas before i rarely ate anything sweet, now i'm looking for something sweet all the time.

I certainly wont try to diet along now,food is my 'go too' in these uncertain times,and for many of us living alone its our only comfort, and I only furtively pop out once a week for the essentials,it is my only recreation.Its like being a prisoner in my own home,however i am not a moaner,it is what it is and we must adhere to the advice given and its really no hardship,I have a warm home and enough to eat,what more could I need.

On a lighter note i have discovered a good way to avoid touching my face,and that is to hold a glass of wine in each hand....lol.

Hello secrets I know what you mean I went through a phrase a bit like that and so hard for you I know especially and of course our pets want to eat when we do this helps stop me as pixie is so fat I try to get out walking more but that's been harder with the people and I had a major melt down explosion even from alcohol exposure🤯drinking just makes better for a while then worst and I don't mean to nag but it will effect your mood ongoing as it changes the brain chemicals I stopped drinking totally for a few months after having a bad fall and was thinking it was my comfort nearly every night I'd be having a few, you were doing so well and we will have the vaccine soon and you can see your friends please try and think of them and your doggies and that they need you I will keep in touch on PM sorry I had left it so long there's been lot of us feeling very weepy on here lately so ease keep posting as we understand big hugs from Mandy and pixie 💛🌝it's a full moon if you look out tonight with me at 7 I'll think of and send out my love and heeling to you take care my lovely friend 🌟X

Was it just the bit on dons post as that's all I saw I wasn't offended understood you were upset for don and sticking up for him the brisk walking helps I'm going out soon pixies always better after a good walk 🙀xx

• in reply to4 years ago

Yes it was on Dons post as I was trying to support him saying how he isn't the only one feeling like that when he swore and I could have used the swear word in full but didn't.

I was angry for Don as he has had a lot to cope with and the loss of his son in law was yet another smack in the face!

Yes it all builds up one thing after another I was at breaking point again well upset about my house situation I'm just stuck in limbo my builders delayed too got to sort leak at mam's now under sink loads stuff but she won't get men in as of her anxiety so we try do repairs sometimes you think things aren't bothering us and put to back of mind then it just goes inward and causes inbuilt stress which needs to pop out so to speak lol xx

Very funny secrets. I am piling the pounds on too and eating more sweet things than I should. It's our consulation is how I look at it! Well that's my excuse. x

Do you like walnuts? They are good for you and are a diversion when thinking/ looking for something sweet to eat. I have a packet in 2 places whilst I try to not put on any more weight. Loosing weight isn’t happening.

Good idea Rosepetal, thanks. x

And your excuse is valid now.xx

What I do when I get the urge to eat is I have a drink of water or find something to do say like reading to see if it's boredom or if I really do need to eat and usually it's boredom that sets me off and frustration and anger over the current situation.

I also go out on a walk as well when I get the urge to eat and when I come back it's gone so was just brought on by boredom usually and also anger and resentment.

How are the dogs getting on? Baby is fine and is 17 in April.

Holly cat will be 18 later in the year all being well. Getting a bit thin now, even though she eats loads. Goes into deep sleeps as well.

Treats after a trip to the vets, such as prawns or Tuna if no prawns available. She’s also partial to cooked chicken cut up finely.

Me too secrets22. The "what can I eat next" syndrome I'm afraid. I think it would be madness to try to do anything differently at the moment. Better a few extra pounds than feeling anxious or trapped. I think that's a novel and very successful way to stop touching your face! 🤣

• in reply to4 years ago

Yes if I can't get out I'm comfort eating only trouble is I had too much before bed last night and woke at one with indegestion managed to get back to sleep was getting careless about cheese too I worry about cholestrol with what happend to mam dad bit they were 2o years older than me pixies too fat soon as he wakes up he's like me food on the brain then I'm thinking what's my next meal going to be, after last night I'll have to go easy as once I've had a indegestion attach my stomach will be sensitive I'm having chamomile tea now that's helped have a good day oh I once lost pixie he was in the freezer lol luckily I noticed in time as I shut the door and he had disappeared lol 😁😸so was obvious where he was xx

😸waiting always waiting for a food door to open lol

• in reply to4 years ago

Cats who love to eat will stop at nothing will they Mandy, and I see that Pixie is capable of getting into all sorts of scrapes to get to what he wants to eat. It really could have been a tragedy, but I couldn't help a little giggle at his managing to get himself into the freezer.

• in reply to4 years ago

He's been in the microwave too and walked on the gas hobs I have had to employ a health and safety officer in the kitchen LOL we try locking him out during cooking times he jumps up at the door handle and meowows so loud and he's learned to open a kitchen cuboard door he goes out when weathers ok thank goodness 🤯🙀he sits on the chair and practices open the door 😁

🙀
