    I've been binging for two weeks and just getting back on track today. Anyone who wants is cordially invited to just walk up to me and punch me in the face.
    On the bright side, I might be getting a tattoo!

    I haven't been binging, but I definitely haven't been paying attention. I've been bouncing around the same numbers for about 4-6 weeks now. I just can't get a grip on it.

    I've been eating with abandon. Not binging, but definitely not tracking and eating whatever. I've got to at least level out, if not drop a bit, or I'm not going to make my weight class in 4 weeks.

    No punching your face allowed. Here's a virtual swift kick in buttocks instead. You have goals, girl, stop undermining yourself.

    My eating is pretty much whatever but at 8 months pregnant I am so beyond caring. I'm doing better with meat and veggies but there's plenty of crap in between!

    I've put on significantly less weight than with Andrew. Still more than you're supposed to, but I'd have to put on over 20lbs in the next month to match Andrew which seems unlikely even by my standards. I don't really know why other than perhaps the first trimester morning sickness and third trimester stomach bug slowing me down. It's not like I stacked it on purposefully last time! Not worrying about it too much either way. I lost it all in a year after Pandy, I will lose it again. Eventually!

    Here is a confession for you all that I am super ashamed of.

    I'm smoking again. :confounded:

    It started off socially, then every Friday 'date night' down the pub. Now its every day after work. *shrugs* the worst part is that I really can't be arsed to quit. Everything else has gone wrong, I might as well.

    Oh nos!

    I've never smoked so cannot pretend to understand. If you're beyond caring at the moment due to stress (understandable), maybe force yourself to make a tally if what it's costing in money as motivation not to. You could spend that money on a relaxing massage!

    THAT is a bummer, it is such a hard habit to break. But I get it...eliminating wine has definitely been a slow progression to date. Sometimes you need a stress reliever. I hope the other stuff gets sorted so you can get a break.

    I cannot quite believe I've never been to Download. I would clearly love it! Leeds/Reading has become too poppy for me. Maybe we'll go in a couple of years when we've done looking after newborns. I'm not too old for metal yet!

    Is that like the festival in Bridget Jones Baby? I don't think they have them like that is the states but I could be wrong, I'm not a concert goer.

    I have never been, but I think Coachella is somewhat like that. I am sure there are some others. But I don't go to much more than the odd concert.

    Yeah it's not my thing. I hate the crowds leaving and I like the way the sons sound's on the CD best. No ad libbing for me!

    £10 for a pack of 20 you would think that would be enough motivation. Nope. :#

    Oh, no! I understand. I've had a few stressful days where I've been tempted to go pick up a pack. I've resisted.

    We <3 you, Lois, and want you healthy and happy!

    I've got a muscle in my neck that is locked up, and it's causing pain and headaches. Started yesterday. I'm thinking about leaving work sick to get to the chiropractor to see if I can get it to loosen up.

    However, I called in sick to work 2 days last week and one day the week before that. :#

    ARGH! E-mail just came through that said there are doughnuts in the kitchen. I'm NOT eating a doughnut! I'm not! It won't taste good enough for the calories, right?!? :o

    Didn't know you used to smoke? I resisted for a year. I quit for a year and felt great. Danny was on and off smoking for the next year. Then I caved in June while drunk at a wedding I didn't want to be at, and it crumbled from there.

    Could you go to the Chiro after work? If would be better to go sooner rather than later. <3

    Yeah. It's been a lot of years ago now, 15 or so. But I still find myself wanting one when I'm stressed.

    Short answer, yes, I could. Long answer, I still have half my workout to get in, son to pick up from wrestling practice, and bowling league that all need to happen after work. Stupid work, getting in the way of the rest of my life. :D

    I'm actually icing it here at work (have an ice pack in my little freezer) and using my Thera-cane to get some deep pressure on the knot. I'm hoping I can get it to loosen up on my own.

    Well, if they can see you are trying to fix it at work they could let you go early? It's not like you haven't tried.

    I did, but the first one back always make me feel like I am going to throw up. But then I realised that if I'm drunk it doesn't happen. Then I smoked a LOT at the last NFL game and carried on the next day and was fine. That was the sharp downwards spiral.

    I do deeply regret that I started. But I'm not ready to go through the quitting symptoms. Not yet.

    @Lois_1989! You just saved me from a doughnut! I went back to the kitchen to wash out my protein shaker. And I was thinking, "There won't be any maple bars left (my favorite). They always go first." But there were still TWO maple bars left. And then I saw this...

    Okay, I'm finally back on track with a vengeance (or something). Thanks for the virtual kick ;)
    I've decided that from now on I'm only eating what my host mom serves me and nothing outside of that. Good for calories AND wallet.

    Lois (insert your middle name here) Woodgate! I work at a trauma center, but for the oncology doctors. Please, oh please, oh please don't give my friend Lung cancer with those (expletives deleted) cigarettes. We aren't good at beating that one. Do I need to send you Nicotine gum to help with the withdrawal symptoms? I could cry reading that you are hooked again.(besides we need you to watch Tami around the donuts)

    Tami, you crack me up feeling guilty about sick leave and having Lois stop you from eating a maple bar.

    Soul, I am good at virtual kicks... And glad it helped.

    Mel the voice of reason as ever. Not to be a total downer but the main reason I've never smoked is because when I was 15, my uncle died of throat cancer and that had always stuck with me.

    For the record, I am not reasonable until I think it out. I waited a long time to type that. :)

    My mother smoked 5 cigarettes every day. 6:30am, 11am, 3pm, 6:30 pm and 10:00pm. I could have set my watch by those and often did leave for school when she lit the first one. Those were the five she couldn't quit. She tried. I always said she coped with my dad's alcoholism with her nicotine.

    She died of an aneurysm that I very well may only not have developed because I have never smoked. The genes are there. The aneurysm isn't. (so far. My docs check for it every 10 years)
