Onwards and Downwards Continues in April

Sorry we are a bit late this month busy, busy, busy!

I have noticed quite a few new members over the last couple of months so welcome to you all and we are glad to have you here to help and be helped:

JimJools, maggibee, notafish, daffy654, lillymoon, jules001, spotit3 and maidup

if I have missed anyone I apologise.

As the days are getting longer and warmer does anyone find it a bit easier to be good and eat more fruit and veg and not pile up on the stodgy food that is so tempting in the winter months?

Here is last months thread

A few weeks back there was a similar problem where everyone was getting everybody else's avatar. I got a ghostly, spooky blackish figure as my avatar. Lucky I knew it was happening to other people or it would have been really creepy.

That is really strange notafish. I can see that I am back to normal this morning.
NOW I must tell you about yesterday's dinner. For some reason I was quite thirsty about an hour before and downed about 2 bottles of water...the ½ size ones. Lo and behold they must have filled up my stomach because I could only eat ½ portion of my meal and the portion sizes have always been my problem. I hope I can remember to try it today also. I can also add that I stayed with the full feeling all evening.

[Marijn]

That's good, . . .I must try drinking before dinner to see if it works for me. The strange thing is; my body tells me when it is hungry, but doesn't tell me when I'm thirsty, so I drink very little through the day, usually.

[xstitcher]

Let me know how it works for you notafish......when my father in law became ancient...in his 90's he got very confused if he didn't drink a lot of water so I decided then to make a habit of it, but have never necked it like I did yesterday.

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Bit late this week with my posting. Glad to say I lost three pounds this week. Mr BD told me last night that he has been putting money away every week for new clothes for me when I need them. What a lovely surprise. Tend to be living in baggy trousers and tee shirts at the moment as I do not want to buy new clothes that may only last a couple of months and then need replacing again.

Bakers Dozen well done and what a good husband you have to do that for you. Such a wonderful idea. Just think of that spending spree you will have. Good luck.

[xstitcher]

A bouquet of flowers to Mr BD for such wonderful support. Fantastic !!!

[Old_Geezer]

[xstitcher]

[Old_Geezer]

Gosh, he'll be another 120 miles away by then ! How will he get back ?

[TheOtherHalf]

LOL, OG, he keeps coming back. He knows when hes well off. Perhaps I should call him the boomerang.

Ive just had a nice big JPot and cheese salad for lunch and I feel stuffed now., but I wont be eating again until about 6.30. time to work it off

[Old_Geezer]
