Hi Girls.

Hope everyone is well.
I made an informed decision 2 days ago to restart this diet on monday after my 40th.
I went to a wedding on saturday and since monday i struggled to get going again when knowing that i will be offplan again this weekend gaining any weight i lose in these few days.
So, instead of wasting packs on borrowed weight loss im going to set my sights on being 100% on plan from Monday onwards. I have no birthdays , weddings, christening etc etc until july 19th so no reason to falter.
in these last few days i have been eating and in all honesty as much as i enjoy eating, i really hate the feeling i get after ive eaten, especially if i eat a little too much. its an awful feeling and one i am more aware of after having an episode of doing a vlcd.
Anyway, going for an indian on saturday for my main birthday meal and i plan to take it easy. dont want that horrible bloated sluggish feeling when im in the pub after.

Hey Cheryl good to hear from you
Sounds like a plan have a great 40th and dont worry about anything just enjoy your birthday we will be here for you come Monday ;-)) xxx

Hi hunny,

Good luck for restart monday, i know the feeling youre talking bout all too well and i never want to feel it again i was doing well this week then it all went tits up but only got meself to blame. Have weighed in again this mornin, me scales are gonna have a seizure im on and off them so much cant say im feeling great atm but pushing meself to go to work at 1pm.

so so, pushed meself to go to work even though last thing wanted was to be seen today ad i was training on shop floor today, on till etc but i did it and pleased i did just so tired so had a 2 hour nap lol. still bit out of sorts but i dunno hoping good nights rests gonna sort me out. One more day until marks got two weeks off yippee

ooh on plus side kept meself busy and i baked and made iced cupcakes and butterfly ones, on bad side i ate them this was last night they were nice though lol.

ooh got bloods took at docs so will wait a week for results and at hospital me bloods and things had came back fine sighs so still no closer to solution but he did put my acne meds down to 5mg, i was already on low dose of 20 compared to 40 lol but said start from bottom and build meself up cos i dont wanna give up on what they can do for me just cos my stupid body cannit be bloody normal . xx

Well I've been MIA this week-down in London doing some 'Secret Squirrel' stuff
Totally fallen off the wagon today tho, but going to use my sisters garden fence to climb back on first thing tomorrow morning I'm fine with it, as worst case scenario I'm going to have to spend the next 3 days getting back into ketosis! Oh well! I'll survive I'm sure xx

evening ladies.

Vickie, have u managed to find any of the hot meals u like yet?
Fearless, cupcakes :drool: .ur doing awesome hun with the work and gym when u arent really feeling at ur best.

Hiya Jo, Nice to meet u hun. ur doing amazingly. U deserve a little time off. Judging by ur success so far i doubt u will struggle to climb back on the wagon and ride the ketosis train.

Well, in 20 minutes time i will be officially 40 years old .
Gonna be a busy day tomorrow. Baking my own cake in the morning. I know it would be easier to have one bought but homemade is sooo much nicer. Im having a devils food cake moist chocolate cake with chocolate butter frosting inside and vanilla buttercream frosting on the top.
After baking i will be heading to the hairdressers for a cut n blow ready for tomorrow night.
I will be sleeping at my parents tomorrow. Simon and the kids arent coming with us tomorrow as it will be far too late for oliver so when i return on sunday we will be celebrating again. Gonna feel a bit strange not being with them tomorrow night but i want to make a night of it which isnt possible with a 2 year old in tow. lol
Hope u all have a great day tomorrow.
I will try and get online in the morning but if not... i will cya sunday

Ya know they say life begins at 40... Well for me life took a turn but not for the better. I found out today that I have type 2 diabetes and bad enough to need medication. :cry:
im so fed up now.... and a little scared. the last thing i needed was another long term condition to deal with. :sigh:

Oh well. hope u lovely (and quiet) ladies are doing very well. Love ya ladies xx

well, obviously dieting is the best thing to help but also i have to now take metformin as well. he said i may eventually need to have insulin as it tends to get worse rather than better as u get older.
I asked if losing weight can make it go away and he said it is very rare for it to go away when u develop it at my age. Usually u can only undo it if it develops in ur teens or early 20's........ but im still going to cling onto some hope........ I dont want Diabetes

That's crap! I was hoping that in losing weight you could overcome it :-(
But your a fighter so I know you won't give up!

Thanks Vickie.
It has explained why i feel so bad when i overeat. All too often if i overdo it (even slightly) I feel terrible. I feel sick, lightheaded, EXTREMELY thirsty, headachy and then I always end up falling asleep. Its a sudden tiredness that is very intense and sweeps over me really quickly. By all accounts this could well be the beginnings of a hypo
Doctor has referred me to a diabetic dietrician nurse to help me manage this and learn the do's and don't.
He also wanted to refer me to Hope hospital in Salford for weight management as they have access to dieticians, doctors specialising in weight issues cognitive therapy and direct resources for weight loss surgery... the annoying thing is i have wanted a gastric band for a long time and was on a weight management plan for 6 months as part of the conditions for getting a band. however the plan was terrible and was just telling me what i already know. on top of that they were wanting me to live on measly portions (for example having 3 tablespoons of rice with a meal ) just not feasible for me to do without a band already fitted. i would be fricking starving.
Anyway, Hope hospital unfortunately is way too far for me to travel on a regular basis so i had to tell him i would prefer to stick to this diet . ( sigh )

hi girls, im back and fatter than ever more of me to love

been a really hard couple of week but im getting better thank god. lyra made me proud grandma today four baby kittens

Cheryl- im so orry hunni *hug* hows you feeling?

vickiet- how you getting on? xx

 

[catdog]

hellooooooooooooooooooooooo is anybody out there, out there???? xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[cherylxx]

Hiya Hun. I'm here..... in a fashion. Had a really hard time getting my head right after being told im now type 2 diabetic along with everything else. Now here i am having gained the stone i lost :sigh:. Restarting again tomorrow. ( been saying that every day for the last 2 weeks but i have got to do it) This is getting beyond a joke now. I either need to sit back and let myself eat myself to an early death OR I can wake up and realise I have a life to live and the only way I'm going to be able to live it is to own it in the first place and that involves losing weight... a LOT of weight.
So, hopefully this will be the last day that i find myself saying ' I'm restarting tomorrow'
Hows things with you me lover?

 

[catdog]

woop[ hey hunny, so glad youre here, am restrting tomorrow and i want it to be my last, last day aswell, its marks bday on 16th sept so 7 weeks time i wanna wear a dress and go for nice meal (trying not to break diet in meantime but really wanna go to this place in next town that has a posh menu to celebrate his bday, the food looks yummy, not the usual crap i shove town me hole lol) then back on til goal and up plan by chrimbo could be person i wanna be so gonna give it me all, also going back to gym tomorrow after work. ill need to take this day at a time cos emotionally am not exactly reliable right now but gonna take each hurdle as it comes and paint nails, go in bath anything that means not blipping. ive not been a hermit as i usually keep meself and have actually had social life as of late lol its been fun but does make me realise how much i want this weight off so a can feel comfortable with meself and wear nice clothes and just be able to let go and really enjoy meself rather than stressing the whole time. av missed ye loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[cherylxx]

are ya still around. Its really quiet on here huh? lol
ive had some issues but restarted today so doing ok i guess.
Ur the only reason i come back here now tbh. lol
