So relieved to hear from you ff and to know you are safe.It has not been a good day for NZ.There has been a plane crash and people have died.One person has survived I think.I hope you get a really deep unbroken sleep tonight and that your little one is not frightened.XXX

[mumandnana]

Your wall sure is a mess, hopefully your insurance will fix it for you.So good you were not in your yard with your child when it happened.XXX

[winghama]

Pleased to hear you are all ok. Am so ready for these after shocks to stop! Wouldn't mind sooooo much if they were shaking all the fat off with it! Ok, I lie, I would still mind, am not enjoying them at all.

Hi ff, how is everything going for you? how are the hunger levels? I do hope things are becoming a little more normal. XXX

[forfreddie]

Thanks for your messages.
Unfortunately I fell of the bus big style yesterday and have struggled a bit to get back on today.
Think it was the combination of pre refeed hunger and then the stress and chaos of the quake. I just went into a carb overload and will now have to claw my way back.
Wish I could have handled the situation better as I thought I had learnt more in the last few months. I know part of me was using it as an excuse.
Anyway in the big picture we are all safe and alive and I am grateful for that. The rest I will just have to rack up to experience and get back on the bus.

So mum, in answer to your question, the hungries have been put to rest for a few days. Will still hopefully pick up refeed on weds and will discuss with them when to start.

Hi FF, I can so understand your response to yesterday, if I hadn't been so darn busy I am pretty sure I would have done the same! It is not often we have to face a situation like that, thankfully, and we all just do what we have to do to get through it - physically and emotionally.

Looking forward to seeing that last little bit moving really soon.

Hi ff, how can anything be normal after the goings on up there!You will get back on the bus.You are strong and determined and this awful time will pass.I hope today is a far better one for you.XXXX

Hi FF - sorry you've had hungry days - just saw your results on the 10kg club and you are so close. Not surprised you are stressed over the Quake - awful news.

[Lisa Joy]

Hello FF,
How are you going? I'm sorry to hear about the earthquake over their, and the damage to your fence. I hope everything has settled down for you now. Good luck for the last part of your journey, I hope its not too rough for you!
Good luck for a great week of losing!!!!!

Aftershocks are still pretty unsettling although I haven't felt any during the day today last night there were some biggies that gave me the heebie jeebies. Hubby phoned at lunch time to tell me he has had to dismantle our chimney as it was unsafe.

When there is so much going on food has felt like the last priority but I know that if I want to complete this I have to make it numero uno at least until refeed which btw is being sent in the post to me as we speak due to the clinic being out of action for a while.

I now need to refocus just to get through the evening. Bad sleep+ stress means emotionally and physically exhausted. Just need to get through the evenings booby traps until I can get in the bath and relax!

Hope to catch up on some of your diaries later. Thanks again for your messages and support.

Noone I know is getting any sleep at the moment, those two big ones last night were sleep destroying! I have felt a couple of shocks this morning but nothing since then, and I dont like that they are saying we can still expect another reasonably big one anytime.

You can do this, no matter what is going on, it is the one thing that you can actually control at the moment - that is how I am looking at it. Chin up, we will get through it, in one piece, even if we just take each hour as it comes.

Hi ff, thinking of you heaps and hope the experts are wrong and that it is all over now.XXXXXX

[Kohinoor]

Hi FF,

and all you others in/around Chch - I'm thinking of you all too, and just wishing you the best, and the end to what has been a HUGE event !!

I, too, hope those experts are wrong. I have my Sis living in Chch - she is OK, TG,

Morning FF. Just checking in to see you are doing ok?
Did you get to pick up your refeed Wed? Just know we are cheering you on. Hope today is a good day for you all. xo Narelle

Hi ff

When there is so much going on food has felt like the last priority

Know what you mean!! This has been a week where I wouldn't have minded a continual pocket full of Marbellas.
I can feel the earth moving here as I am typing this. Six days of continual stress wasn't in our how to cope with food strategising.

I ran a big bubble bath last night, - lit some candles etc, then (before I got in) we had a large aftershock which sent the candles into the bath and emptied 1/2 the bath all over the floor

I have to be brief as our internet will no doubt not be on very long (we are at Pegasus - very close to Kaiapoi - all ok with us though).
Take care

Hi ff, you have done so well considering the circumstances, I really am proud of you.I think you and my doctor must be working together ! I had to go there today and she was very concerned that I stop loosing weight NOW.She said the exact same thing as you concerning the BMI. She hasn't seen me for a long time and I got the picture she wasn't happy.She said to be 20 BMI and under created health issues as well as being the other way. I told her I was increasing my portions now.Phew that was good timing ! Have a restful evening.XXXX
