That's THANKSYOU'S I mean - to ALL of you. Thank yous for being so kind, and patient and caring and listening and reading my posts, and replying with such understanding and compassionate, and above all - very helpful and positive ideas for me. I feel ive been a right moaner round here starting off with my pains and tales if woe with various doctors. Just for the record, since I was prescribed extra ibuprofen my leg pain, though not entirely gone, has got so much better. I still take a fold up stick in my bag, but I havnt even needed it. Yesterday I walked round for five hours, sitting occasionally , with my daughter and grandkids at a farm park, and it was wonderful! I feel 200% brighter coz only weeks ago, I really could see the future meaning wheelchair. I expect it will one day, but for now, im just so happy !

You've all also helped me LOADS with my parent problems, and helped me see im not the only one ,and shown me different ways to take their comments on board without having to binge eat, or blame myself, and more , to take away the guilt I was feeling, thinking I was the ONLY one who was angry and resentful to their mother. Often ive heard people say " you'll be sorry - you only have one mother - value her etc " and now I feel I dont have to be guilty when I think " you want one? Have mine!" and totally mean it ! There really are other daughters like me who just CANT get it on with their mothers, and that's just how it is !

But just as importantly, you've all stuck by me in my diet disasters, and never given up and at last - I can report a weight loss !!!

At last, this week I lost 2 lbs ! Not a great lot, but - a start, im 15 13 and that 15 feels good. Im staying with my Ww plan, quick start week 2 now, so my food exchanges become slightly less limited, and im looking forward to it.

Thanks all of you - big big group hug

Xxxxxxxxxx:D

Also NEVER NEVER NEVER think or believe that you are moaning here. If we all kept quiet about our issues we,d be locked up. Well, i would, either for murder or insanity

Congrats on that 2lb loss! Proof, as if you need it, that you totally know what you're doing and don't need anyone sticking their unwanted noses in while you're preparing your lovely meals in the kitchen. Loving hearing how your 80s plan is going, I'm really willing it to work! It sounds like an excellent trip back in time to a younger you, which Iis what you're aiming for in losing the weight anyway. Good luck with your different week 2 food exchanges
