    obviously you dont want to do this or youd be listing all the reasons that you CAN instead of all the things in your way.

    Yoovie , Your right , I don't want to do this , I want my life to be nice and normal and settled with no problems what so ever (but doesn't everyone) I know I have to do this but at the time I was writing the post I was having an 'Ittttsss nnoott fair' moment. Sorry if I caused offense x

    You didnt offend, sometimes we just need a little reverse psychology babe

    Lol , Unfortunately reverse psychology doesn't work on me , when I used to smoke , I would start craving a ciggie every time the 'stop smoking' ads came on x

    Stop focusing on the weight loss. It sounds counter-intuitive, but weight is really not the point. It's about overall health; lose the weight to be healthier, not for the sake of being lighter. Think of weight loss as one effect of what you do rather than the ultimate purpose.

    So rather than thinking, "How do I weigh less?" start thinking, "If I were already healthy, what would I be doing?" Then start doing those things. It doesn't have to be a big sweeping change either (in fact, that can be overwhelming and discouraging rather than helpful). Just make improvements as you go along. If you drink three sodas a day, drink two tomorrow instead. If you never have vegetables, add some to your dinner tonight. Things that are so small they seem insignificant at first, really. Over time, the cumulative effect is a healthy lifestyle you never thought you'd be able to manage, and you didn't even realize you were doing it.

    Bearman :love: Smallness is the apple of my eye and I will always love him but he's also human , I think the issue I have sometimes is that I get narked at not being able to give him the time and input he needs and deserves because of other people's behavior :noway: Should probably explain that one of the major things that had got me upset was that we got a sofabed so put our two sofas on freegle thinking that yes they should go to a good cause rather than the tip , spent all day washing all the covers etc and making sure they were clean and tidy for the person who wanted them who then never showed up to collect them and didn't contact me to explain/apologize/warn meaning that most of the last few days has been spent dashing around trying to sort out the mess rather than doing enjoyable vacation activities with small and I will now have to spend the rest of the week calming him down from the disruption:grumble: I don't mind being challenged but I tend to think that if someones getting something free of charge then a little politeness might not be an unreasonable request
    Other than that , all good points and I will try and follow all the good advice /motivational bottom kicking that I have been given by yourself and everyone else x x

    No need to explain Barmum. I didn't mean to suggest that you were not being a great mum for your son. Sorry if it sounded that way. I know a little of what your go through on that front and I salute you.

    I use a similar free stuff site and experience the same at times. Some folks are generally ungrateful and at time inconsiderate. On behalf of society at large, thank you for your caring heart in providing something for others.

    lol thats not reverse psychology not working. They said stop and you said no. If they'd said have one and you did - THEN it wouldnt work.

    lol

    actually, im not even going to get into this. I wish you all the best of luck. If you really want it, you will find a way. (even if saying that makes me rude and unclassy)

    try lowering your carbs.
    look into atkins, paleo/primal, south beach or something similar.

    it is a good way to see results fast, and you don't need to exercise.
