Sorry you're feeling down beautifulrainbow and you rant away. I'm sure we all feel down at some point I know I certainly do.

Hour done on TM but had a really bad weekend food wise and today also but I know I'll get back on track.
Fingers crossed for a bfp jennypenny.
3sacharm I have the nakd bars too as I have a real sweet tooth. I also have low sugar gluten free rich tea biscuits, they are not pcos friendly but they stop me from cheating big time. Would also like some ideas on sweet treats too.

Thank you frilly lady!! Not rude at all, it's so lovely to read! My boys are 4 and 6. Without wanting to sound rude, can I ask if your eldest is straight?? Not that it makes any difference, but I certainly know neither of my brothers were like that with my mum, but then she had me, although I'm the youngest! Just interested to know if that kind of relationship is associated more with a son who's more afite or gay, or whether straight lads can have those kind of relationships with their mums too. I am so close to my youngest at present and it breaks my heart to think of him slipping away as he gets older, no longer having any interest in me

Hours exercise done for today on the bike, took it easy though!x

Ask away 3sacharm. No he's not gay he's got the most beautiful girlfriend who I treat as part of our family.

Frilly Lady, i hope i have the same relationship with my boys as you do with yours. It breaks my heart to think they will grow up and away from me mine are still very young tho 5, 3.5 and 2years.

Had a lovely weekend but it involved no diet and no exercise oops altho i did remain vegetarian. Back on it 2day

Hi everyone, glad to hear others have been 'off the wagon' this weekend! I cheated majorly on Mother's Day, breakfast, chicken, chips, ate sweets all afternoon... and no exercise. Back on it this morning, did 76 mins on TM. Its still really helping imagining you all exercising too!

Can I ask, how are you feeling in yourselves whilst doing the LE/PCOS diets and exercise. Have to say, I am soooo fatigued, lacking in energy and my mood is quite down. I have always been a sociable person but I can feel my self- confidence slipping away. My kids are young, I don't get much sleep, my job is stressful. I'm not sure whether I feel down due to the stresses of life, the LE diet or a combination of the two?

Does anyone out there feel like me? Can anyone offer any words of encouragement? xx

Sorry you're feeling down beautifulrainbow and you rant away. I'm sure we all feel down at some point I know I certainly do. I don't know how old your children are all you lovely ladies but I just feel I need to say something I hope you won't take it as being rude or anything,band let me tell you I've spent many many years wanting a daughter too. My oldest is 19 now and is at uni, we are very very close and spent nearly an hour talking on the phone yesterday and sent me lovely pictures and messages throughout Mother's Day. We've had pedicures together, he's sat at the hairdressers with me while I get my hair done and vice versa, spent many an hour clothes shopping for both of us, (it's amazing how many mums you meet in the men's changing room all having a great laugh!) He's sprawled on my bed many an evening while I try on clothes for a special day, telling me what I should wear and then going through my jewellery choosing what matches. Been to concerts and out to brunches, laughed and cried over girlfriends and drunken nights out! Just because he's a boy hasn't stopped me doing the things we often think of as "girly" (oh how I hate that word), not sure what I would have done different if he was a girl and I now have my youngest to do all this with too, although he's more of a geek so it's going to be techi days out! This is what eases my pain when I have bad days I hope it may ease yours too. Xxx

Thank you for sharing this Frilly. Your post was so uplifting to read. I live in hope that I will have this kind of relationship, or any kind of close relationships with my sons as they grow older. I lived my life being regularly told 'a daughter's a daughter all your life, a son is a son until he finds a wife'. I have a sister and no brothers. All my cousins are girls. I'm not sure the influential women in the family realised how damaging this would be to those of us girls that grew up to have sons and no daughters. It is a legacy I wish I had not been left. As I get older, I realise that a mother-daughter relationship isn't always a given, although of course I still want to give it a try! I feel the world has changed since my upbringing in the 80's. These days girls are just as likely to get a top job and move away. Also, not all of my female friends have great relationships with their Mums... I think you hit the nail on the head when you described how you have always had an open relationship with your boys. I think the freedom to say anything and be anything in the safety of your own home will keep your kids coming back.

Hi! By any chance do you have any links of those "men's forums"!? DH inquired if there are any threads for him [I laughed] but if there is support for him too that'd be great!

Hi ladies,60mins done TM .. Ahh such an effort sometimes.
Nice to see u glitter mouse, don't worry too much about ur bad day , sometimes it well needed and hay it was mothers day for all lovely ladies in the UK. I would have gone off the rails too and ate and enjoyed.
That was a nice post frilly , I wish I could share that with my 2big ones but its all about friends and cars and work for them . My younger ones are more sensitive, my 6yr old is always telling me he loves me (very cute) ..�� my 3yr old well he's just always looking for things to destroy lol and has toooo many toy cars.. Ahhh how I long for a girl.

I hope your feeling ok beautiful rainbow, thinking of you xx

Currently doing 60mins cardio, feeling down some old feeling starting to creep back up!
My hubby might already have a daughter with someone else, long story she refuses to do a dna test or let him see the girl as long as he stays with me, he refuse to see the girl because he doesn't know if it is his (she was sleeping around)
So I felt a grudge against my husband when I found out 6 years ago, I let it go! but now with all ttc again and it not happening, it's all coming back....
How can he sleep with someone just a handful of times, drinking bad lifestyle on both parts etc (her not long given birth to another girl when it happened) when I have only had boys why can't I have a girl, give my sons a much wanted sister!
A girl to play with makeup with, fashion ideas, playing with hair, to go shopping with a life long friend, I would cherish her!
I get he feeling sometimes that my hubby doesn't care because he may already have a daughter!
Sorry for ranting!

Sending hugs beautifulrainbow xx Hope you're feeling a bit brighter today? Your situation sounds difficult and upsetting and his ex could really help you with this. Surely her daughter should be able to live knowing who her father is and him her? Very sad for everyone. I hope she sees sense and allows the dna test so you can all move forward. In the meantime, take good care of yourself and do small things that make you happy. I think the LE lifestyle takes its toll to a degree. I find it comforting to know its having an impact but at the same time we are under a certain amount of pressure to succeed-the stakes are high! Thinking of you hun x
