Ggggrrrrr absolutely nothing I fancy for breakfast in the house. No bacon, no mushrooms, no eggs! Being away at the weekend I didn't shop & am now grumpy!!! Only thing that made me go ooh was a bag of McCoys & I'm not doing that!!!!

So had a mini sulk at hubby this morning as I heard him on the scales & I asked him to let me have them but he said no & returned them to their hiding place which I now know is far too high for me to reach but I've advised he find a new place as I know how desperate I am likely to get & would think climbing may burn extra calories.... Feels weird & I'm not entirely comfortable with not knowing what I weigh as that normally only happens when I've been naughty & don't want to know.....
 
Shame about breakfast. Enjoy the rest of your UD - but not too much!!
 
Massive admission to make.... I climbed & I'm not sure if I wish I had or hadn't but I did.... I'm 4lb up on last week but I know I've been good for 3 days so it must have been considerably higher & I'm due totm today or tomorrow so that may not be helping. I don't think this not weighing works for me. I've asked Dan to hide them better but not sure whether I'm better just having them. I'm a big fat failure :(
 
Oh dear... Maybe ur better having them if ur risking ur life to weigh urself!

You might get to a stage at some point where u feel like u don't need them... X

I was determined to do it but I started to feel out of control not knowing how much I gained in London.... I think now I know I can ask him to hide them for at least a week.....
 
Don't think of it as failure. Ultimately, you have to go about this the best way for you and if that means needing to feel more in control which requires weekly or even daily weighing then so be it.
 
I hope no one is thinking that I believe everyone should weigh monthly. I'm just doing what is suiting ME right now.. as I have done since I started fasting. I don't want people to think I'm a smart arse know it all telling people how it should be done. Far far from it. I'm just plodding along doing my own thing. Any advice given is purely that..advice that may or may not work for someone else. And advice that anyone can freely ignore! Lexie weigh as often or as little as you need to. You need to do what makes you happiest and you know I'll support you regardless x

Absolutely! Ali please don't think I thought that I just saw how well you did & wondered if I didn't weigh for a month if it would stop be obsessing. I managed a week so I'm now gonna try & go another week as I know my obsessive (sometimes 3-4 times a day) weighing isn't good for me.

Definitely not! This is all about learning from each other, trying things and if they work for you then great but if not then back to Plan A or on to Plan C. Ultimately we all have to find what works best for us individually but it is helpful to hear about what's working for other people. If I have another disappointing loss this week I will definitely be asking for ideas on what I can do differently. :)
 
Not a bad day, have nibbled a few bits I shouldn't. I'm probably at about 18-1900 cals but I've been to Zumba & been doing housework all day so I'm not worried

I used to weigh every time I went in the bathroom..then managed to cut it down to first thing in the morning and last thing at night...then just in the morning...then once a week and now I think I've cracked doing it monthly. Can totally relate to you Lexie x Today hasn't been a good day and I know I'm over sensitive. The one thing that really appealed to me about fasting was that you could make it totally individual to suit yourself and there were no "rules". I want everyone to do what suits them best and gets the results. I don't want to make anyone feel pressured to do things a certain way. I still don't feel confident enough that I've mastered the fasting/weighing thing...I'm still a work in progress. My comment earlier was probably badly worded :eek: x
 
Don't be daft I got what you meant my lovely. I have settled on once a week as I know it's a horrible habit I need to break. As for multiple weighing isn't it amazing that a massive poo weighs so little ;)
 
I'm moving to once weekly weighing now. The fluctuations are a pain for me!

I might do daily when OH is home because I don't think I'll manage 3 DDs per week because we have a lot planned in those two weeks and maybe daily weighing will help me to reign it in. We'll see!

Have a good day :) x

Had a great day, foodwise was out for lunch but opted for a smoked salmon & beetroot salad (it had fried capers in it too but I hate capers so picked them out & my mum ate them) & it was delicious!!!! Had a ready meal for tea just cos I couldn't be bothered to cook & my son had pasta & meatballs for lunch so he only needed a sandwich & wasn't sure if hubby was going to the gym. Think I ended at just under 1500.

Done loads & loads of sorting out & tidying today & to be honest I'm knackered & tomorrow we are decorating our bedroom, am dreading it but it's taken 3 months of nagging to get hubby to agree to do it so it have to take the chance while I have it.
