Big Boys Need Love Too!

uuuhhhh....just been arguing about my diet...always a good thing eh? OH is trying to help, but I don't know...kind seems like not at the same time.

I so want to just jack this in....I know I am loosing weight and it is good but i just am not sure I can really do this. I want to. But I have my doubts.

OH thinks I could just go on a strict diet of just proteins ( meats) and veg...and try and limit my calorie intake....but I just think that it just isn't going to work...too much scope. But then when i suggested slimming world...he never said no just skirted by it all. I did well on it but like everything...if you don't stick to it...and have protion control things can go aray. I know I just need to get my head around it all...and I have been really touchy today. everything is pissing me off...and now...he is in a huff...and said he can't be a*sed with it all anymore....so there goes my support!
 
Jenn, whatever you decide we will support you. Abz is on CD, Taz is on SW and elle and I are "sisters doing it for ourselves". So there you have it - support all round - let us know what you decide. x
 
i need help. i have just about convinced myself that because of the way that ketosis works i should be able to have myself a low carb meal at any point because it won't kick me out of ketosis, and over all my calorie levels will still be really low so i should be able to lose large amounts of weight... i don't know what to do. i'm craving so much and i don't think ss plus is going to cover it. part of me thinks, well, you should be trying to make this diet work for me, and if me having a large low carb meal once a week is how it works for me then that's that. but then i'd also feel really really guilty about not doing the diet 100%!! i really don't know what to do :(

Hiya Tyn, just do what you need to do to get through. It'll be strange for a while, almost an anti-climax. Everything is geared to the funeral and then - nothing. Things will get better and back to normal, although it will be a different normality to what you have been used to. The hurt WILL get better. Hang on to the knowledge that you did what you could and cannot be responsible for someone else's choices. Loads of love and hugs to you and yours. x
 
Abz - you have to decide or talk to your CDC. I don't think we can help BUT whatever you decide to do DON'T feel guilty. Make an informed decision about what's right for YOU. x
 
i can't decide if what i'm doing is right or whether just because i WANT it. but then i'm thinking if i WANT it and i'd still achieve my weightloss goals shouldn't i be able to have it? but what if it slows down my weightloss? and i'd feel judged by everyone who does it right. and i don't think i'd ever be able to admit it to my cdc but then i'd feel like i was lying :(

Abz you have to make sure that the diet suits your lifestyle and if you feel deprived then maybe it's not worth it?

Jenn, yes Gem is right I am on SW and I love it. It is so easy. If you decide to do that then there is plenty of support here for you
 
hi taz. well i really do want to stick with cd. the weight losses are fantastic and i really do want to lose 2 stone by the time denmark comes around. so there's that part of me that really wants to stick with this. but craving something that won't wreck the diet is killing me!! i can resist pizza, cake, all of that. all the stuff that usually does it in but i just want some meat. and 140g of chicken, which is what is allowed on ss+ just isn't going to cut it!!

abz i know what you mean. Exactly how you are feeling so am I. I have only been on this for 2 1/2 weeks. But I am going to stick at it until I really can't do it any more. I was thinking of having 1 piece of meat once a week only....which I may consider but not for a while. I am lossing the weight and will be really angry with myself if I give up so soon. I was even considering having 2 days off at the end of the month...just so I can treat myself for doing so well. cuz right now my first stoppage isn't until november and right now that may as well be 10 years...so that is where i am. I just hate feelin so miserable. Cuz that is what is happening...I am not myself. I am unhappy...and as my OH said what is the point of doing it all if I am going to feel so miserable, and down, and unhappy, and be b*tchy and snappy!
 
well i just want to eat some meat. that's what i WANT. and i'm going mad and getting jittery about it. it's so silly. such massive cravings. but i thought they'd all be gone by now and i'd just keep sailing through but they aren't. but i really shouldn't give in. i am just finding it so haaaaaaaaaard. i don't know what to do. i know what i want to do but the guilt i'll feel if i do it, well, i don't know if i can handle that :(

I did well on SW...and I know I don't feel deprived...it is just trying to get me back into the excerise and seeing as OH doesn't really want me to do it? ( not sure why) i mean he never said no...but I think I did it before and didn't stick to it is I wasn't losing weight...maybe that is why....Who knows.
 
i don't know what to say jenn to be honest, feeling the way i'm feeling right now. i just want to give up all together. of course i'm not going to. what i want to do is low carb it RIGHT NOW and continue with ss... ha. but i suppose that's not the way it works is it?

Girls. Intervention time.

Abz and Jenn. You might 'want' to eat this meat. And you might also want to rip the testicles off your OH for being a huffy man. But just give yourself some more time. Guzzle some H20, make something that you can chew/crunch out of your packs asap. (crisps, muffin, something frozen). You just gotta trick your noggin into thinking your giving it what it wants.

I think you will both really regret it if you quit now. Try and push for the 1month part. And if you need some distraction, read this blog: My CambridgeLife - iBlog, Do You?

Not sure if you have read it or not, if so then re-read it. Its what made me decide CD is what i want.

When you get a second, run yourself a nice hot bath. Grab some candles, hand the kids and stuff off to the OH's. Declare a Do Not Disturb zone around the bath room. Turn the light off and have a soak. And ask yourself this: Do i want to be slim(er) in a few more months?

We all know CD will work. But do you think its worth putting up with these cravings to make it work?

Then, praise me for added this next section.

And perv away!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:p:p:p:p:p:p:p
 
hahaha....thanks tyn!! You know what You're right....I will stick at it for at least 1 month and see how i am getting on. I am giving myself away out and i shouldn't...so on wards and up wards....
 
:D :D oh that made me larf :D

hasn't taken the cravings away though. i think i've guilt tripped myself out of it for tonight but who knows if that is going to work every night. sorry guys. don't mean to bombard you with issues... so silly really. i'm only on day 10 of my restart of ssing!! dinner party at mine on saturday too. i might have to hide at this rate!!

i have asked my cdc about it in any case. i can't see her condoning it in a million years, ha. but thought i'd ask. i could always do an ss+ day or something but to be honest i think that would be more torturous, eating a tiny bit of chicken or something..
