Wednesday update

Turns out i may not be able to buy new scales till next month boo
I changed the batteries in these ones & weighed again today to see if it would give consistent results - it gave me the same result 5times & was down 1lb since yesterday - still a bit down as i stilk have to get 2 & 3/4lbs off to get back to where i was but i'm just gonna take it on the chin & stick to plan this week
I have a hospital appointment early next week & i really wanted to show that i'm making such an effort to lose the weight & that i'm down right serious about doing this! As of right now i can telk them i've lost 8lbs in total since last appointment (5weeks ago) but it was 10lbs & that felt so much better!! I don't think i can lose 2lbs in the next 5days.... just hope that they understand how hard i'm trying! If it wasn't for the medical reason for me doing this i would be soooo chuffed with 8lbs in 5weeks - i think i'm expecting to lose too much too quickly like they do on tv!

Feeling pretty awful tonight
Had a right little wobble, as i'm on bed rest after the hospital i just got really sorry for myself & ended up eating a load of junk that i didn't even enjoy.
I know i shouldn't be to hard on myself while i'm in recovery but i'm annoyed that i gave in to my old coping strategy of feeding my sadness, pain & boredom.
I felt like i was doing really well for a few weeks there & now i've been knocked off course.
I've not been eating properly at all, having to rely on others to cook for me (i hate it soooo much! Hate being a burden!)
I've not eaten loads of junk till today though - for a few days i hardly ate at all but now i seen to be making up for it.
I've not been able to even track my points & think that in itself makes me feel out of control!
I can't help being sick & i must give myself time to recover - i just don't want to ruin the work i've put in over the past month.

I'm going to try & write off tonight's crazy food as a random pity party that i was too weak & ill to fight off.

Just wanted to write it down here as i'm feeling guilty & down about the junk - if i'd enjoyed it i wouldn't mind so much but i just ate random stuff i had lying about - not even stuff i would choose to eat normally! I can't even go to the shop to get treats that i do like, i wish my brain didn't turn to food in times of need!!

Ok going to try & sleep now, i know i'm going to feel even more gross in the morning *idiot!*

Hi
As has been said, 1-2lbs a week is a healthy loss so over 5 weeks 5-10 is perfect and you are towards the upper end so the doctors should be more impressed by that than 50lbs in 5 weeks! Biggest loser and the like is great viewing and inspiring but not realistic for us regular folk. They have nutritionalists watching their every move, amazing trainers to keep them going and nothing else to do but focus on their weight and sadly we have none of those 3.
Just forget yesterday - it is in the past and if i were you i'd have been feeling sorry for myself too. Today is a new day and another opportunity to take a step toward your dream you - take it.
Hope you feel better soon - how much longer do you have on bedrest?

Thanks for your kind words huni, they've given me a bit of a boost!
I did track my points yesterday so feeling good about that
Am on bed rest till Monday - hope i can at least go for a walk then!

Mini update, still poorly yawwwn!
So yes i'm better than i was but i'm recovering soooo slowly that i'm getting frustrated!
Just gotta suck it up & accept that my body isn't ready yet

However i have stuck to plan & tracked for the last 3days which i'm proud of as at least i feel i have control over something!
I've eaten really random stuff as i can't do my own shopping but it's all within my points so trying not to stress that proper milk chocolate HAS made it's way to my stomach (oh well at least i know i had a whole month clean!)
We also had a chinese last night - i reaaaaally enjoyed every bite though so totally worth it even for the 25points ha!!
Luckily i'm veggie so i stick to lots of vegetables & count the sauce, obvs the noodles & rice are demons no matter what else you eat
Pizza would cost my more points though so chinese is still the best take-out option in my book

I feel like i'm coming down with a sore throat on top of everything - i sound like a cat with hairballs (sorry if tmi!)

Hope everyone is having a top weekend, dread to think what the scales will tell my next week with illness, bed rest & 4days off plan (one day ate nothing at all!)

I'm so gutted today
Even though there's loads of reasons for it - have had such a crazy time being ill for the past 2 weeks, i weighed this morning & I've gained 1/2 lb - if i was plodding along nicely losing most weeks i really wouldn't let 1/2lb bother me that much BUT it means that I'm actually heavier than i was at the start of the month!! :'(
I'm doing that awful yo-yo with 3lbs & can't make progress - i just need to write this down even though i sound like a right whinge-bag

Over the whole 7weeks I've lost 9+1/2 lbs .... ok so when i think of it like that it sounds ok - it's right on track for the 1lb - 2lb a week aim... but I've still got to get 1lb off to get rid of the whole gain from 3weeks ago (i was at a total loss of 10 + 3/4 lbs)
Also i have a chart with stickers on my wall that OH made me & i haven't been able to stick anything on it in weeks!!! yes i love my stickers lol

I'm going to write my weekly break-down of losses & gains as I'm naughty & sometimes don't admit to a gain on here as I'm ashamed! I know u need to stop doing that as I'm doing this for myself & what's the point in lying in my own diary eh? Honesty & truth from now on!!
I also really appreciate viewing other people weekly stats run-down to see that the same thing happened to them & they still got through it even if it did take a few weeks

*i am SO hating quarter lb calculating - my brain does not compute!!*

Oh hang on - i can't possible do this without colours on my phone ..... *scurries off to laptop* ...

OK on Laptop now

12th July - 21.4¾
18th July - 20.13¼ -5½ Lbs = -5¾Lbs
26th July - 20.11¾ -1½ Lbs = -7Lbs
2nd Aug - 20.11¾ STS ......= -7Lbs
8th Aug - 20.8 -3¾ Lbs = -10¾Lbs
16th Aug - 20.11¾ +3¾Lbs:cry:= -7Lbs
17th Aug - 20.10¾ -1Lbs = -8Lbs
23rd Aug - 20.8¾ -2Lbs = -10Lbs
30th Aug - 20.9¼ +½Lbs :sigh:= -9½Lbs

Oh My gosh that looks like a whopping mess! All over the place!! Want to make it lovely & straight hehe (May play with excel later)

Ok well I hope I can get a loss next week - like I've said before - there is no option of giving up for me because of my future Op... usually this would get me really off track but that's not going to happen! Hope I can get moving a bit & wake up my metabolism after a week of bed rest!

OT - I'm loving this autumnal weather I'm all cosied up in fluffy cardies & baggy jeans again whoop! I'm not a Summer fan so I've been very lucky this year!

Photo of the weight loss chart my OH made me
A star for each half lb lost & a heart if i have a miny victory of some sort like sticking to daily points or resisting take-away or doing exercise when not in the mood!
