20 somethings

I cannot get back on the wagon and I have no idea why! Perhaps a combination of hating my job (starting a new one next week tho) and the cold weather. Thinking of taking a breather and not being so hard on myself, and starting again as of the new month/new job.

I know it sounds like a cop out but I've tried everything else!
 
Only you know what's right for you, Clare. It's not too long until November, and if you do relax a bit before then I'm sure you'll still follow some SW principles. You might even find that eating off plan makes you a bit sluggish and crave being back on it. Obviously, I'd recommend sticking to plan (I'm aware I have a cheek after Sunday lol) but it's your choice :)

I've just snaffled 2 choc digestives for a total of 8 syns. I swear they're worth every single one of them...too damn tasty. Can't wait til the packets finished, they've become my new syn of choice since my hi fi bar obsession.
 
What is it that is derailing you? Is it lack of superfree? Indulging in extra snacks? Mealtimes? Feeling apathetic about everything? I didn't realise until Tuesday that one of the reasons i was sabotaging myself was because I felt I didn't deserve the percious 2lb loss, so I didn't deserve my 4 stone award. It is silly I know. It took something someone else said about something completely different for me to realise. That added to star week and stress it wasn't going to be a good week. If you want to take a break then do, we all need to blow off steam sometimes. On the other hand if you go for a run and get tired out it is better to walk for a bit rather than stop completely - that can make it much harder to start running again.
 
I don't know really, snacking and real lack of enthusiasm for anything, nevermind SW friendly meals. I'm really tired (constantly) and just really pissed off with the things I used to enjoy doing (studying/reading/long baths) and I feel I just want to do nothing.

I'll be honest and say I've battled very mild depression since I was about 13, so it's beginning to creep up on me I think. I'm hoping that starting my new job will jolt me out of it but I think I should concentrate on things that I enjoy to keep it at bay in the mean time.

Sorry for going on. Just had a brief moment of clarity and had to write it down. Usually I don't see the signs of a down spell.
 
Don't be silly, you've nothing to apologise for...plus look at the amount I gurn at you all and I actually have nothing to moan about haha! Have you got this weekend off? Maybe take some me time, have a bath, pamper yourself, get a nice girly dvd. Just take some time to have a wee think to yourself about what it is that's really annoying you and maybe make a list of how to overcome it. Set yourself a challenge each day-read a chapter of a book, go for a walk etc. It doesn't have to be anything major just something to help you get out of the rut you feel you're stuck in! Don't stress about the food element of the weekend, just take it as it comes. It's important that you get your head in the right place chick!
 
Being a general annoying little $hit. She's just so rude, I feel I over react sometimes but I HONESTLY don't even want to speak to her she's that much of an idiot...and if my mum mentions that I should know better one more time because I'm an adult I may lose all sense of reason.
Someone send me money so I can be a real grown up and move out?lol!
 
Haha, how old is she. You could mimick her when she bugs you, it'll really pee her off.

Had a big plate of stir fry veg with grilled rainbow trout (that I gutted myself, yes I'm that awesome. Turns out Nate LOVES rainbow trout and ate half of it when I thought he might just have a wee try! Gogo fish boy. I am pleased because I struggle to get him to eat meat, and although he loves eggs he leaves the yolk unless scrambled. He does like beans and pulses but I'm so happy he is really taken with fish.

Trying to decide whether to attempt a trip to exeter tomorrow or not... I don't really need anything but I don't want to go at the weekend and if we go out tomorrow nate'll be happy for a quiet day on Saturday. It involves a bus and a train (each only one an hour), lunch will be fine (debenhams) but it is a bit.... Pointless. I guess I could get some new jeans (thank god for belts.
 
Oh dear Jenna that doesn't sound good. I do think its siblings tho generally me and my brother are both in our twenties and still argue like we're teenagers!

Just got back from wi and a bit disappointed had a good week and back on track fully to gain half a pound. Peed off a little to say the least! :( x

Haha Jenna, I have no advice but know how you feel so good luck!!

Clare like the others have said only you can decide but think of what you're working towards long run and that might help. Do what you need to to get you through the next few weeks and you can pull it back (SW wise) when you're ready and we're happy to listen to anything you need to get out of your system,

Fran if you fancy the trip go for it, I like Exeter and you can use it to get Nate knackered so you'll have a peaceful evening and can enjoy being at home at the weekend when everywhere else is busy, he has good taste in fish, I love rainbow trout, any trout really, yum yum :)

I went to group and I lost 1.5lbs so pleased with that as my main food group has been cough medicine and I have been drinking so much water I expected a 'water' gain. The Berry Bakewell bars were not very popular with most people saying there was an overpowering after taste so I don't know how long they'll last, it's safe to say my C will not be selling out of them

Sorry to hear about your gain Jo, don't feel disheartened though as if you stick to plan then next week you will see a good loss xx
 
Oh Jo I am sorry to hear that, if you have had a good week it'll come through next week, so have another good week and wow those scales!

Star that is a great boost. Though I hope you feel better soon. My whole family loves fish too. My dad always thinks the more expensive the better, he doesn't trust his own judgement. Trout is Yum. Seems to be nate's favourite too. :)

Just caught sight of myself in the mirror and looked pregnant. Couldn't work out why... Oh, hello bread belly! I forget every time (think it is the yeast as I am fine with wheat) if it is gone tomorrow I might go. It is really just to stave off boredom, and it is just the bus home I worry about (busy with a pushchair).
 
Oh Clare. Everyone else has said it brilliantly. If you need to take a break, do it - don't give yourself something to beat yourself up over. About 2 months ago I realised I'd been in a pretty gloomy place for weeks if not months. I finally got it all down on paper (while having a good sob) in a letter to my best friend - I hadn't even realised half of it was bothering me, let alone that much! It took weeks of little steps to make me feel a bit brighter - there's no way I could have focused on SW. We're all here if you need to let it out at no one in particular. Great that you've realised early on, makes the world of difference. Big hugs xx
 
Well done on your loss star

Thanks for your kind words ladies I will keep going and hope for a loss next week.

Clare I agree with the others don't put pressure on yourself u have to take care of u, if u need a break take one x

Jo sending loads of hugs..

Fran where did you get the free Irish stew?? I love love love stew!!

I started the 30 day shred.. Today was suppose to be day 3 but i did zumba instead.. I feel bad not doing it but i don't think my calves could take any more!!
I had a great day bt i'm slighty peckish now.. However i'm upstairs comfy in bed so i'm not going to the kitchen... I'm knackered!!

Can't wait till tomoro at 4, its going to be my halloween break!! Must head to group.. I did say I was going to go back bt i might just buy a good pair of weights as minimins and other forums do the job for me.. My bridesmaids dress hanging in my bedroom staring at me is motivation enough!!
