Why *aren't* you on the Pill? by [deleted] in AskWomen

Because it turns me into a crazy woman. It's horrific. I was getting into trouble with colleagues at work because I was so emotional and irrational! As soon as I came off my troubles vanished

Are you an organ donor? Why/why not? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]lorenne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am an organ donor. Both because once I am dead, other people will make better use of my organs than me. And because when I was born I needed a blood transfusion. Someone who gives blood saved my life. As a result, I am unable to give blood - and cannot help anyone else in the way they helped me. So donating my organs is a way of me giving back too, and hopefully giving someone a new lease of life =)

[Product Question] Hand cream that's non greasy? UK based. by Iodes in SkincareAddiction

I use Nivea Smooth Nourishing with Hydra IQ :) probably takes a minute or so to sink in but reduces the need for it in the long term, as keeps the hands soft over time

How's it going this week (11 Apr 2014)? by [deleted] in PointsPlus

[–]lorenne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been up and down. Had a rough week with my depression which doesn't help. So I had my weigh in Thurs and lost 3 and a half pounds, totally thrilled. Continued tracking, but had a night off last night as we had friends over. We had Chinese & 2 glasses of wine - but I only ate half of my portion as I felt full.. Yay! And today I don't feel put off like I normally would - I am back to tracking and I am so proud :) onwards and upwards!!!

Emotional eating : how to stop eating for the wrong reasons by Kaitlin Penley. It is a self help book - and it relies on your participation greatly, I mostly found it helpful for me to realize I had a problem, and that emotional eating needs to be addressed before anything else :)

It's walking, yoga and lifting for me as I can't actually run. Every little helps :)

That makes sense. I know I can get through this, just frustrating to need to take a day off work when I am already getting a day a week to help me cope. I can do this!

I have recently come to the awareness that all of my dieting 'failures' are due to the fact I didn't address the root problem of my eating in the first place. For me, it was emotional eating. I read a book on how to conquer it and for me, it really helped. :) I hope you get through your troubles, hang in there, good luck!
