Afternoon all

weather report from the Costa del Isis - it's bloody hot here! 30C indoors. Gonna have to go and have a bath to cool down in a minute.

Was planning to go to the cookshop and buy a few things for the kitchen this afternoon, but I couldn't face the idea of sitting in the car in this heat for half an hour. It's an old banger, so it doesn't have air conditioning or anything like that.

Jackie - you've gone all secretive on the wobbliness loss - does that mean it was bad news yesterday?

Regarding yesterday's discussion, I am in favour of raising prices and banning advertising. If whisky was twice as expensive as it actually is, I doubt that I would ever have got into the situation that I am in now. Higher prices would certainly discriminate against the poor, but they would also help to reduce the health gap between the rich and the poor via reduced levels of alcoholism in the poor. Any increased tax revenues could be ring-fenced to help the NHS pay for the cost of treating alcoholics or used to fund tax cuts elsewhere. I also dislike the fact that the focal point of all the main soap operas on tv is the pub. It sends out completely the wrong message.

Hiya inchy - don't worry about your post last night - it was pretty obvious what was going on. And anyway, a little cry now and again never did anyone any harm. :l

Also good evenings Reccybear,Starty.

Not bad news at all at SW. Half a pound off, not as much as I thought but it's in the right direction.

Hiya Troopers!!

Jackie - half a pound is half a pound. And it means you're still losing weight.:goodjob:

Inchy - :huggy. A good cry is sometimes exactly what we need and grieving for a loved one is only natural whether it comes at the time of the loss or months or years later. Crying is a kind of soul cleansing IMHO. We cry because we need to.

Startypants - it's hot here too - currently 29C at almost 9 p.m. and will only go down to 25C overnight. Jackie - I wouldn't have wanted to go out in a car with no AC either. Especially if it's humid as well as hot....:toohot: How can it be 30C in your house? Did you light a fire or something???

Yooooooooooooo hooooooooooooo Stirls,

There were only 3 of us lost weight last night. The lady wot runs the group think it has sumfing to do with the heat and water retention. Or it could have been everyone else had been shovelling choccy down last week.

Errrrrrrrr it was Reccybear who didn't want to go out in his car.

Okay - I'm going to make up for not being around much the last few days. Here's a BIG multi-quote...

After walking across town and passing many pubs with people sitting outside in the summer sun I found I had to wait around for an hour. Now suddenly everyone looked like they were having a great time drinking and laughing and enjoying life for my little soggy brain went from gratitude to deprivation mode in a split second. But I pulled myself together and found a nice coffee shop and luckily I had a book with me. Small victory in the war but feeling a tiny bit proud of myself instead of the regrets I would have been feeling this morning. Gratitude for finding a way out of the madness in time V feeling deprived that we can no longer drink is paramount. It just takes some of us longer to realise it I guess.KTAB - good for you. Seriously, it takes lot of willpower to do that.

Well hope everyone is doing well - I have to say I have fallen off the edge of a cliff. My Citalopram ran out and I have spent the night sweating and panicking....have to try and pick myself up for work, but the only way I know how is the WRONG way...

What to do?

EWEW, dear - I read a later post that you made saying that a friend of yours will send you some Citalopram. I hope all went well and you got it okay. Please check in and let us know how you are.

I wasn't logged in earlier but reading back I see there were peeps here for you if you needed to talk. That's what this is all about. The support. We might not be here 24-7 but there is always someone somewhere on here when we need it.

Heat and water retention sounds about right to me.

Yes it was Reccie. Now I remember. It was 30C inside HIS house and his car doesn't have AC. Sorry for getting you mixed up with a Panda. Cute as he is...:H

Well done on your half pound JC. I think it's inevitable that there will be fluctuations in the amount of weight you lose each week and I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up putting weight on some weeks, but as long as you stick at it, you'll get there in the end. You've done brilliantly so far.
