Kay Kay Kay!
It's could be worse....
So I have a confession too. Today I had some midget gems... Really it was in response to some pretty nasty poop going on in my personal life. But at least I stoped at a couple and thought. Get lost, I don't even like you anymore, get out of my life you midget jems....
We all have our flash points ( exhaustion, stress, emotions, whathaveyou) binging on diet food isn't really a binge, it's just over eating since you will not have consumed over 2000 cals a day will you? No, you will still be in the 1000 range which is still classed as a LCD.
Now let's focus on the good news!
You lost almost 8 packs of butter this week
You have had a close encounter with aliens in a manchester supermarket!
Yay Kay!

Thanks as always ladies. I know it wasnt a binge binge, but it still needs addressing and showed me that I really am a long way from dealing with food, and that I do need some more work on the way that my brain deals with choice and allowed food.
Had a big chat with the fella last night. He has asked me to try again with the bars, he's happy to take them away from me, but thinks I should try "moderation" again. He's right, but I am not sure how that works. Anywho I have 6 bars left, and they are in the kitchen and they are not calling me. To be honest they are not even nice! Not like midget gems are.........now that shows someone who is getting towards the end of their journey. Wow you're ace Nat! xx

i found with the bars, that because i only had enough for one a day it stopped me eating more than one. it's something i plan to carry over into life after cambridge (LAC?). so - i will go to the supermarket or do my delivery order with a clear and specific idea of exactly what i need to buy for 7 days' worth of breakfasts lunches and dinners etc. rather than just buying a couple of packs of cereal bars with no actual sens of how long they need to last cos i'm likely to pop into the shop again a few days later - thus making no difference if i eat the lot in the car on the way home.
Awh! Blue I've done the same and binged on CWP bars in the past! Had 4 in one day! It was not pleasant. I do what Spangles does and only buy the amount I need for 7 day with the exception I have one emergcency bar in case I run. (Though with this plantar fasciitis lurking in both feet no chance of running for months!)
Like Nat said you've lost all those packs of butter!!!

I have to say Kay, that I ordered some samples from slim and save and interestingly I couldnt even get through the honey and nougart one. Like cardboard mixed with honey, with the odd lonely raisin thrown in for good measure. Eating more than one of them sounds like torture...so it must have been a bad day.
As for being "trusted" around food. This is my solitary biggest concern. I am far from there....far far far...I just use my stop sign. I have to, but I know there will (and have been) times where my resolve will wane, which is why I want a strategy to overcome - or recover from that.
I think that I need to stay low carb forever - I dont think I can ever go back to eating rice and pasta and definately NOT bread, chocolate or cake...I am so not over my addiction to them either (as todays 2 bites said)
I am hoping thats what I will do for the next 80 odd days. Thats my plan at least, build my tool box so I dont need synthesised products in my life. I think I also need re-educating. I have been checking out weights of things...what does 80g of uncooked lentils look like? A LOT. More than I would normally eat in a portion. BUT my husband showed me a way of cooking them which they become like rice. what does 200g of quorn mince look like? Well almost a whole bag of the frozen varient - more than I would ever eat. This is the education I need....how much sugar is in a normal sized brownie - well HALF a whiskey glass just about does it - now mash that up with some cocoa flour and some baking powder and see if you fancy eating it...doesnt say stress relief to me somehow! This is where I am at on my journey. Discovery!
Night night Chica!

Now then Nat, it sounds like you tasted that bar, I on the other hand just inhaled it. Having this morning allowed myself one on plan, I concur, they are vile nasty things that taste like they are made with soap powder!
I've decided, no more trials of Slim and Save, the first few weeks I had good losses, all I had was Choc Tetras, so how hard can it be to do that again for the next 2 months? I hope to live for another 30 years, 2 months is nothing is it to spend the rest of my life slimmer and healthier. 0.5% of the rest of my life. Nothing. Zilch.
I've been shopping this morning, I'm defo a feeder, bought all kinds of stuff for the fella and youngling, just because it looked nice. God knows if they will know or want to cook it while I am away this week. I think instructions might have to be written before I leave the house. On top of that I've used up the last of my puff pastry and mincemeat and made some kinda twists and danish type things, apparently they are mmmmmm. I didnt even lick my fingers!
I've taken some more pics this morning, not quite ready to show you them yet, but I can really see the difference, 2 stone is a lot when you see it sliced off a lump of woman like I was.
I finished the scarf I was knitting last night - those of you not in the craft club look on the "off topic" string I've put some pics on. Its my first foray into knitting and may just be my last. But it did serve a purpose, it helped me to stay away from the manic feeling I get in an evening about "why me". I think I will take another project with me to Newcastle next week, either that or some spangley type books for that bit of motivation to keep going.
Tonight we're off out into Manchester, I'll be wobbling my legs to the beats to try and lose a couple more ounzes. I dont actually mind being the driver, saves money and I dont actually need a drink to have a good time. Suprising that!
Hope you are all well, off to catch up on your world while I listen to the football scores come in........Happy Saturday x

You put me to shame you do....crafting, baking...shopping! jeeesh!
Those bars are just...man, do I even need to qualify that??? I am glad that when you composure returned that you realised. Mind you, I am only talking about the honey and nougart ones (the nougart sold me!)
I agree with your chocolate tetra plan, I did that for ages...that was my golden era I think...simple, no fuss, you dilute them in hot water...lush! I now switch between them, chocolate shakes with hot water and hot choc mint... That said, I *may* implement evening meals with some of the SnS spag boll, cottage pie and chilli. They are ok I reckon.
Enjoy swiveling your hips tonight! If you do the running man for 5 minutes non stop, you will well burn off about 400 calories!
By the way...I want to see progress pictures...and I do like to get what I want
Have fun

Aha!
There you are, and every inch the goddess.
Funny thing, I can only see your head and shoulders you you don't look like you need to lose any weight! That's the effect you were talking about!

First place the lard fell from was my face, then boobs, obviously the place I need it to go from most will be last. Below chin is a disaster zone!
I have safely arrived in Newcastle, safe in a hotel room for the week without access to fridges or cookers, although I did notice a new cake shop on the walk from the station which I will also ignore. I feel so safe, weird, but it takes me from the temptation, I cant cheat or sabotage or think f it here. So the plan is, clothes off pj's on as soon as I am in the room, then there is less likelihood that I am even I tiny bit tempted to walk to the shops for 'water' or anything else that falls into my path.
Train journey was lovely, I painted my nails, watched some old series of spooks on my iPad and drank 1.5lts of water. Knitting is done for now so I've a couple of stitchy things with me at I'll use as a distraction, although work promises to be busy.
You know I felt good last night, lighter, free-er, I was the oldest swinger in town but who gives one?! I wore a dress that I hadn't worn in years, dropped the you going off at my s-i-l's who was so complimentary it made me feel great, and strangely I listened. I accepted them. I felt good.
I hope you're all having a good weekend xx
