Hi Ruth, i am on here for just a few minutes and was just wondering how you were???
I am baffled at the mo as i have gained about 2lb and really do not know why?????????? I know its the wrong time of the month but at this stage in that month i have usually lost what i seem too gain overnight. So I am now pretty fed up . Don't you ever feel you just want to sling the scales from the top of the nearest building!!!!!!! Only i can't as i need them for work . Hopefully they will be kinder to me next week!! Diane xxx

Hi Diane,

I'm okay I guess, very stressed at the moment, I'm moving house next week and my flat mate/ex-boyfriend is doing exactly nothing in the way of packing or organising and it's leaving me very over-worked!!

I saw the gynie too, who told me to come off the pill immediately as she needed blood tests which would be no good if I was still on the pill. So that really hasn't helped as I feel allover the place again. I had an ultrasound scan too, and am due to see the gynie again in three weeks, to get all the results.

I'm sorry to hear you've gained two pounds, and know exactly how frustrating it can be!! I sometimes feel like giving up any aspirations to be a certain weight/size would be better for me than the mental anguish I put myself through trying to get there! You hang in there though, you've come so far you can't quit now!!

Hi Ruth, thank you for understanding, it just seems that i get so far then this happens...typical! I think i just worry about if any more goes on top as well. I was even thinking of having a total detox this week but to tell you the honest even that wouldn't work, so i will just carry on and hope its water retension...i have taken some HRI tableys today just to see if that is what is wrong.
I know exactly where you are coming from with regards to trying to aim for a crtain weight etc,....why on earth do we do this to ourselves its mental really i mean is an extra 5lb going to make all the difference......hey who am i kidding of course it will then at least if i gain a couple back i will still be less than today arghhhhhhh. See even someone whom is qualified like me still gets screwed up thoughts going off in my head, you may find that quite comforting anyway.
Tell you flatmate etc to get off their arses, i sure wouldn't pack any of their stuff, while ever you carry on doing it they will let you honey, stand your ground and throw your dummy out the pram!!! I would pack everything you know you are going to need then sit down with a coffee (made with skimmed milk and sweetner ha ha) and watch them panick rather than you!!! You deserve a rest so take it.
