gelato: actually i never really worry abt my weight lor, like u said,"dun deprive ourselves of good food" tat is really me lor. Food come 1st, so long as everything in moderate should be ok (but sometimes will go over the limit also).

> Mother brought along her countryside habits and lifestyle with her.
> For example; I am so used to buying flowers to decorate the living room,

>
> Mother stopped saying anything. But every time thereafter, whenever came

>
> There begins the friction to our otherwise happy lifestyle.
>
> Mother hates it most when hubby wakes up early to prepare the breakfast.
> In your view, how could the man of the house cook for the wife? At the

> before a thunderstorm and I would pretend not to notice. She would use her
> chopsticks and make a lot of noise with it as her silent protest.

> As I am a dance teacher in the Children's Palace and am exhausted from

> additional few minutes in the comfort of my bed and hence I turned a deaf
> ear to all the protest mother makes. From time to time, mother would help
> out with some housework, but soon her help created additional work for me.
> For example: she would keep all kinds of plastic bags accumulating them so

> all the trash bags; she would scrimp on dish washing detergent when

>
> One day, late at night, mother saw me quietly washing the dishes, and

>
> In order to stop her son from having to prepare breakfast, mother took on
> the "all important" task of preparing breakfast without any prompting. At

> in bed, hubby was a little upset and asked me: "LD, is it because you
> think that mum's cooking is not clean that's why you chose not to eat at

>

> Back home, I lay on the bed thinking about my hubby, and the disgusted

> He held the delivery suite door opened and watch me go in; his warm eyes

This is a true story...
 
BTW... This was sent to me , not happen to me..

apologies to mothers who are irritated at my last thread being so long
 
sperzz, oh delia is so poor thing, I can imagine she all changed up but stayed at home. yesterday my Ashton kept pestering us to go out since 10am. He kept saying "go out" go out" and tried to pull me and hb to the door, wear his shoes etc.In the end hb brought him to see fish, and after that we brought the whole family to visit hb's grandma and had dinner with her. So sunday was very good, we didnt go shopping and hence didnt buy unnecessary things.

kelly, my tummy is bigger than before I think. And when I wear singlet material type of top, it will stick out even more. The therapist at Clarins told me to do situp every night but unfortunately I just feel like lying down the moment my aching body touches the bed
