ButtErFlies-In It To Win It

Thanks Contrary! I tend to go quiet for sure when things go wrong. I don't want to bring everyone else down, or to rub off my bad thinking on someone else :D. But it is nice to have the support here on the forum for sure! Love you all!!!

I talked to my boyfriend earlier today, and we decided that today was the last day of our bad habits. Time to quit being foolish and start focus on the health again. I feel refreshed, and look forward to a rough couple of days to get back on the CD wagon :D

Thanks for being here! I will probably post non stop tomorrow :D
 
i think the thing we also need to remember is how far weve come,
asa 30lb down bmi 32, thats great, just try for bmi 30, that will help with pregnancy, then eat plenty of veg and keep your iron up, xxx
contrary nearly 40lb off bmi 26 is fabulous, keep going xxx
broxi 20lb down, bmi 31 thats really good luv better than before, lets get to 28 together, zoe....... nothiung i can say, your just fab xxx
bethan witchy clare cant remember your losses off hand, but we are all doing well and lighter than we started (obviously lol), xxxxxxxxx
 
those are some little mini goals for us to keep us going, xxx
 
Evening all, we will all get there in the end but we are bound to have some bumps along the way, wouldn't our journey be boring if it was all straight forward and perfect, which we are not-we are only human so should give ourselves a break occasionally, give ourselves a pat on the back for effort and for what we have achieved so far :happy096:
:gen126:
 
I went to Coral reef water world in Bracknell today with Huby and our girls. We had a fab time but the swimming made me hungry - glad I'm on ss+ this week so had a nice chicken and veg stir fry when I got in. I really am discovering that food doesn't need to be covered in a sauce or elaberately put together to taste good and I really think this diet is re-educating my way of choosing what I will want to eat when I come off cd.

Claira have you tried Shwartz Stir fry special blend Thai 7 spice. It is gorgeous and really spiced up my chicken and veg stirfry.

Have a good evening all, I will be about later. xx
 
Good evening all! Yes, we just have to remember how far we have come on our journey!

Contrary, I haven't yet booked the spa trip, but will look into it this weekend. It is with my sister, and I would like to treat her to some place abroad. I was thinking Majorca before, but now I am not so sure :D. Let's see what happens!

Claria, I am still working on my mini goals. I have written down a few, but I want lots so I can check something off often :D. I am thinking goals like getting into a new size, and selling the clothes that are too big on ebay, or doing something else. And weight and measurement goals too. And maybe goals like walking and doing exercise regularly. Hmm, I will think some more about it. Does anyone have any fun mini goals to share?
 
Mini goals - suspect these might help a lot :) Instead of the usual monthly challenge - this month I've set a wee ticker to get me into normal bmi - 9lbs. Think this will motivate me more! I ate some cottage cheese today - first time ever...first reation was bleurgh!!!!! and pulled a face like a toddler, but it did grow on me...was almost nice ixed with cajun quorn pieces and salad for my meal today. I think maybe, just maybe you can con your taste buds... I'll know I've cracked it the day I eat broccoli - my nemesis.
 
oooh i love broccoli cold mixed in salad, i love that thai spice 7, i add it to my shakes also, i just had some celery and cottage cheese i scoop it onto it, its quite nice xxx
 
Wow, 9 lbs until normal BMI is great Contrary!!!

I actually like cottage cheese as well, usually with some Herb salt and chili powder on.
 
oh my god... i cant stop myself, had lots of water today, a choc shake, chicken and spinach, then a spoon of cottage cheese and some celery, then a soup and 1/2 a cd bar, i just cant stop, i have the munchies............... help lol x
 
omg Claira you make me laugh. Why do you have the munchies? What have you been up to lol xx
 
lol, i did ss for a couple of days and now cant stop, totm finished so its not that, i feel full, and quite sick but want to nibble lol xxxx
 
i think it may have been the celabacy with all this totm ive had now im ravenous lol xxx
 
so off to bed now ..... night all xxxx
 
Good morning all! I am sitting here enjoying my first frozen choco shake in weeks, and I actually missed the taste!

Contrary, I think my taste buds are a bit childish too :D, what does your therapist make of it?

It felt great throwing away all the rubbish we had in the apartment yesterday, now I just have to take the trash out so I don't get any ideas :D. I am also poring out all the fizzy drinks (but you could have coke zero right? Anyone who does?). Then I am transforming the former "candy drawer" that my boyfriend insisted on having all these years we have been living here. I think it is an awful idea. It is mostly empty or old stuff there, but now it is gone!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Morning Butterflies,

My husband and I have been on the meal a day all this week and we have both had headaches, it's like we did the first week on CD only backwards.

Has anyone else suffered the same when eating food again, it was only for about 3 days but I hope when we go back onto CD again we don't have headaches for another 3 days.

Another thing that has suprised me is everything taste salty, i haven't added extra salt but i have used the stock drink by marigold to flavour the chicken and even that is to salty.

I never thought i would say this, but i'm looking forward to going back onto CD full time, strange.

I'm waring my size 22/24 today for the first time, down from 30/32, i know it still big but it feels like an acheivement.

I keep looking at the label cus i still don't beleive it. lol
 
lou, did you read my post about my friend ange going from a 32 to a 12-14, that will you soon xxx
i did get a funny head when i introduced food, but not going back to ss although i only did 3 days then ss+ again, it is all very salty, i dont like spices usually but i am loving tumeric, cayenne pepper, thia spice, cumin, all the things i would usually hate, but these are helping, even some nutmeg in my cottage cheese xxx
your both doing really well,
asa, lol about the drawer, i have a big bowl, its got mini biccy packs, mini haribo, and mini chedders, all for charlie, but he hardly gets them, cos hes not allowed sweets in the house i use them for day trips, although i bought him a toy sweet shop yesterday and he was allowed to 2 sweets for him and some for daddy, he will be selling grapes by next week lol hehehe,
i have awful tummy pains today like totm is coming again, its only been gone a couple of days. so maybe that was why i had the munchies yesterday,
zoe your a little minx, i knew what you hinting at, im a good girl, wasnt when i was a teen, but a good girl now lol xxxx
hope you all have a fab day, i hit 13st today the lowest iv been in god knows how many years, that was a biggie for me so really pleased,
anyone else have a target to get past or that they have already got past, please share xxxxxxx
