i can tell you that ellis literally saved my life ( rational emotive therapy)
i will not let anyone else drive my bus
cheers and good reading , good mental health

OMG, Jlou suggested I read your diary and I am glad I did. I think that it is worth it just for the entertainment!

Oh, keep up the great weight loss!

well new clothes again on the weekend
now a 122cm waist in trousers only 2 weeks ago i was 127
new shirts collar size is 16 sizes smaller ( whatever the measurement is ) amazing
all good
just had my post lunch snack ( chewing gum) if you swallow it you feel full all afternoon hahahahahahahahahahah

jlou · #**114** 16-03-2010, 13:46

Well done Mark - not such a FB anymore are ya?

We were always taught not to chew gum cos your body can't digest it. Probably an old wives tale/ load of BS

mcpsych · #**115** 16-03-2010, 14:07

thats why it makes you feel full all afternoon hehe
modern gum is completely biodegradeable- not like the stuff in the old wives days

Laura77 · #**116** 16-03-2010, 15:26

I swear Ive read somewhere on the forums refering to gum..

"good girls dont swallow"

im sure that can refer to you too mark :P

mcpsych · #**117** 16-03-2010, 15:53

i beleive i wrote it, i also beleive that i am not , as you say, "good" hehe

Laura77 · #**118** 16-03-2010, 16:15

haha carry on then! :P

Isn't it a brilliant sensation when you go into a shop with no idea what size you actually are, only to give yourself a little shock when you find out how much smaller you are than last time? That feeling never gets old!

I dunno about chewing gum, I reckon it makes me hungry because I am chewing and chewing and my stomach is expecting food and then nothing happens, so it rebels and then gets all disappointed, just a theory, any thoughts.

Deelight · #**120** 16-03-2010, 18:15

Yep Gug, I have to agree with you. I had gum for the frst time over the weekend and I got sooooo hungry. I could've eaten a Cohen horse!
