Congrats!! That's fabulous!!

Oh nom!!! Chag Purim Sameach!

What's HEB?

Fabulous!!

Ack! Sending you my best wishes

No but I wish I did!

Well done! [emoji106][emoji106]

Drink definitely! I love me some flat 7—up when I get sick. I go off coffee too (even though I only drink mostly decaf these days)

An idea I've never pursued: ha! As a bipolar I have a notebook FULL of these! They seem such good ideas at the time.

Amazing! Well done!!

Are you eating fast acting carbs in your meal, like mashed potato? Also what's your quantity like? Keeping it at 4—6 ounces firm protein first?

B. Side: I'd hibernate weekends AND weekdays. Introvert who enjoys pottering around at home, not doing much.

17. One way I hold myself back: if my mum makes a comment about weight or weight loss I subconsciously seem to sabotage myself. There are some funky dynamics going on there and I've just realised it's still a thing for me (anorexic-prone mother who competes with me in everything but especially diet and exercise).

I love Irish summers but not Australian ones (too hot). I loved the wet season when I lived in Far North Queensland - warm, heavy rain is delightful.

16. One thing that deeply moves me: seeing compassion in action. It makes me wanna be a better person. I LOVE the wholesome memes subreddit coz of that.

15. One thing that lights me up. Predictably, my girly. She's 15 now and I thought I'd have it rough with the teenage years but she is such good fun. She has her father's sense of humour and makes me laugh so much. Plus she is a sensible girl so I don't worry about her nearly as much as I thought I would.

Mini-gastric bypass here.

I'm glad to hear other peeps are like me. Not glad that ur sick too, but at least I know I'm not alone.

Don't underestimate how much of it is habit/mental. I originally could never conceive of not drinking with meals, but it's normal for me now. Make sure you drink in your window before your meal so you're not actually thirsty.

You're so inspiring!

Woweeeeee! [emoji7]

Thx dearheart. I haven't been taking any extra vit but I've been laying like a log in bed. I am not a good sick person ?

Hey lads, I've a Q. Do any of you find you stall if you get sick? I've come down with a cold and the scale is not really moving this week. I'm not exercising, so there's that but I know from when my diabetes was active that sickness would make my blood sugars go high, which would prompt insulin and we all know insulin is the fat storage hormone, so I'm wondering if it's a thing?

*sigh* restriction, I have very little. So the idea of leaving food on the plate for me is [emoji23]

Ooh I need this as that's my difficult time
