The only time I have ever been possessive of my food was when as a teenager I would walk down to the shop, buy a pint of ice-cream, have a little put it in the freezer and never see it again. Caught my little sister 3/4 of the way through it standing in front of the freezer!! Not impressed.

Youngest DS is now 16 months old and I'm only just getting back on the fitness horse. Welcome. I found that I just don't loose weight while breastfeeding. For some reason my body insists on holding onto everything or letting it go really slow. We are just starting to wean now (down to 3 feeds now but mostly after meals so…

I can only speak from what I know of my Father's experience. He didn't think of it as the only way out either but he had literally tried everything else. Going to the gym 5 days a week, shakes, pills, blood type diet, regular diet, low carb, high protien etc etc. You name it he did it. I watched my Step Mum measure out his…

Find something you enjoy that's half the battle. If you don't want to go outside then do a tap dance class or a Zumba class or a pump class, work with a PT. but find something that you find interests you. Make it a habit. I am just doing this part now, but before kids I just knew that I would be getting up and going to the…

To actually get some me time. It would seem the only valid excuses to go out alone are to go for a run or to go donate blood and I have a fear of needles that is much stronger than my fear of sweat! To be able to wear shorts without displaying all of the cellulite down my thighs. To be able to feel better - my entire…

I am reading catching fire from the hunger games trilogy but I am also listening to the storyteller by Jodie piccoult during my runs. She is so talented and I love her books.

I used to workout in the mornings in a previous life, it was always good to start the day on a high with a great pump class or similar. These days I am just getting back into it and have discovered that I enjoy running early in the mornings but ATM am struggling with being up that early (we currently have a baby who isn't…

You want to get really embarrassing? Not only does DP listen to them but he does it by choice and has a few songs in HIS playlist not the special one for the kids! I don't know how big they are in America but the biggest kids band here is the Wiggles he has been known to sing the Shimmy shake up and down the halls at work.…

All I know is that after two treatments I went into labour after being threatened with induction and all sorts of interventions.

I'm sure they didn't mean to. But for what it's worth I'm sorry. I would start out eating light, some runny sweet porridge or cereal with sugar because it sounds to me like you have low blood sugar and are hungry. Drink lots of water because you may very well be dehydrated and then snack throughout the day gradually…

Such a fantastic NSV hope you enjoy your big day.

He's a jerk but the best revenge is to live well. Not to fall back into destructive habits. You have got this, you just need to believe in yourself that you do. I'm sorry that he hurt you it really really sucks. That's all there is really.

Whether he likes you or not if someone is a friend and they are demanding you text back straight away and that they know where you are all the time I would be running far far away. This is not normal. I would be cagey getting this from a boyfriend or husband but a regular friend is WAY OFF!!

In a previous life I used to do that too. I LOVED it. So nice to walk out of the gym fresh and ready for the day. Then again my old gym had awesome shower and change facilities.

Wow and here I was thinking I was hard done by to be up at 5! I have just started running in the mornings to allow me the time needed to get in a workout while DP is still at home with the kids, he leaves for work by six and an "early" night is 7-8pm. Soontobeamomma congratulations :) babies are delightful. as a mum of 3…

Definitely the good man, I married a bad boy the first time and knew it was over when he reassured me that it was ok because he was going to teach our baby how to take illicit drugs responsibly.:explode: :noway: DP is a GOOD man, he works hard for our family and teaches our kids the right way. His family have taken on my…

^^^ This or if not a *kitten* then needy and WAY TO INTENSE. If you think you are nice you really need to relax rather than focussing on your datelessness instead focus on things you love to do.

Thanks :embarassed: The running is more escape time for me than anything (even if I do get called it's going to take me some time to get back!), I love them but I swear I am raising the next ultimate ruler of the world in DS1, he definitely keeps me on my toes! Thank you for this! Exactly what I needed to hear. BTW I think…

Because my DP is naturally thin, his whole family is and I stand out like a sore thumb when I am around them. Because I know my kids will probably have to "work" at being a healthy weight due to my genetics so I want them to grow up knowing that exercise, sports and fitness is a normal natural part of life not something…

1 - I've had to buy a ring resizer on the net so that my engagement ring doesn't fall off (I've got another 20kg to go so don't want to bite the bullet too soon) 2 - All of my nursing bras are getting too roomy, which means that they need to be replaced, but even the cheap ones are expensive! 3 - I have discovered that…

Just a small query, was he all of those things when you met him? Because if you started off with a man that was classically attractive without the issues that you have mentioned above then he developed those issues AFTER you got together then it proves nothing. If he had all of those issues before hand there must be…

I don't think that's silly at all!! Sounds like a great idea. Mine is fitting back into my pre baby jeans (from 3 baby's ago) and showing DH that I DO have the commitment to stick to this fitness thing!! He just told me there was NO WAY I was going to get up and run 3 times a week! HA I'll show him!! :devil:

When you kids start recommending various exercise equipment that they saw on infomercials on TV.

For the first few months at least for me. He baby one is perfectly valid. I honestly feel that I would be more of a danger to myself and others in the gym than is necessary. My babies don't sleep, as in waking 40 times a night and no that wasn't a typo try sleeping for 7 minutes at a time and then lifting weights.

I really feel for you. Mine would have too. Hope you are feeling better.

He SAID he loves you as a friend, you will find someone else which means this is not a break. He has broken up with you. He is gone. He may come back but seriously do you want to be with someone who just broke up with you? Especially someone who just broke up with you after trying to ease you into having sex with him. He…

Funny this is what I thought too. I have to say though you are 21. I genuinely understand that this feels like it is super serious - at that age I broke up with my high-school boyfriend / fiancee. It was hard, it sucked then I picked myself up and got over it and over him. But I am now 30 so with a little more experience…

^^^^ This. Lovely story thank you for sharing.

Right there with you. I was trying to explain this to DP the other night but he didn't get it.

I have a small issue with growing things... those who are on assistance generally don't own their own homes, I don't know what it is like in the US (I'm in Oz) but here you can't make major alterations to the garden without permission. On top of that small difficulty if you have a black thumb (Like me!) then getting…
