ProPoints CarlyLanky140's Weight Loss Journey (28/155lbs)

I feel like crying! Why do I sabotage myself? In the first 16 weeks I lost over 2 stone and since then I'm stuck ...
* am I scared because when I was slim I had my heart broken and fell apart?
* am I worried that even if slim I will have loose skin/cellulite and still not be able to wear skirts/shorts/bikini like I've always wanted to?
* am I worried that I won't be able to afford clothes as I lose weight?
* is 2 stone my weight loss limit (it's the most I ever lose before putting on)?!
* is it worrying about getting to 29 dailies still not eating fruit n veg?!

I can eat the things I like... I can eat and drink out.... I can fit it around work...

I need to:
o up my exercise - but not feel guilty if I can't make it coz of work... Maybe do shred instead on those days.
o stick to just dailies and weeklies for a whole week!!! Not going over at all even on WI - prove I can do it!!
o stick to the plan for the next 9 weeks to Christmas to get as much as possible off - and at least get to my 50lb loss!!
o not let emotions/ boredom/ stress lead to chocolate/bingeing
o post my diary everyday!

If I manage to Christmas I may consider just an online membership :) and get my mum to weigh me each week!

Thank you all xxx
 
Hi Carly.You seem to have just hit a wall and that happens at some stage to everyone. You have had a lot on recently with work so dont be too hard on yourself. What I think you have to do now is "shake it up a little" .That means going back to basics and planning your meals with some new ideas thrown in . You seemed to enjoy the dance classes , maybe try to get to some different ones.

I wouldlove to see you try one new fruit a week and see how it goes.(even eating a tiny piece each day) The problem at the moment is when you are craving (or upset)you head for the chocolate but if you could have some fruit it might get you over that craving. Alternatively if you are craving have something like a slice of wholemeal bread and some cheese or a boiled egg which will fill youup and isnt empty calories like the chocolate.Iknow it has points but it would be way less than a chocolate binge. !!!!.

Try and see it as a fresh start !!. Do you remember how excited youwere that first week doing your tracker .You know you can do this ..This is the girl who used to get up at some ungodly hour and do the SHRED !!!!!!!!!!! . :eek:.
 
Thanks Breda! I am really motivated today and have had a good day! So hope I can manage a good week :D thanks for all the ideas - they are fab! xx
 
Delighted you had a good day Carly. dont think any further now than next wednesday and what you want to feel like when you weigh in..imagine stepping on that scales.
 
Thanks Hun :) x
 
Hiya Carly where abouts in Cumbria are you from?? I'm from Carlisle!! i used to go to the meetings at pennine way school but just doing it from home now :D xx
 
Hi Leanne... that's crazy - I am from Carlisle!! And I go to the Con Club meeting on a Tuesday!!! How do you find doing it at home? I think I have too much to lose to motivate myself....

Diva - I am back to it ... only 10 weeklies over 2 days and earned 15AP today :D xx
 
Awesome, small world!! yea its just a trail doing it from home i seem to get on better the less i think about it, if i start struggling i'll go back!
Not sure where i'm getting motivation from at the minute but i'm not complaining... i'll probably end up going back to the meetings again i always do, i'll just shock them and go back when i'm skinny lol
Were you born in carlisle?? feel free to add me on facebook if you like seeing as we live close (don't have to lol) Leanne Graham.
How much more do you have to lose can I ask?
xx
 
trial not a trail lol!

Hope you have had a great day hun :)
I've been totally awol with a mega cold & still catching up on diaries!
Sorry to hear you went through a rough patch there but blooming well done for earning those APs today woooop!
I think that when we exercise we tend to eat better as we are motivated by getting a work-out done :)

I had stuck to my 39pp and popped into a wedding night do this eve... Wasn't drinking and didn't think there would be food (it started late and the actual wedding was abroad and indications were that there wasn't food) .... But there was food and there was cake and pudding was pick n mix :) so I had a little bit... I've probably overestimated pp and the same with tapas yest but I will be good next 3 days and hopefully hit gym once or twice .... Feel in control do sure I will get a loss :) xxx

POSITIVES
1. I enjoyed the cake n pick n mix lol
2. I had a nice night with my friend
3. I get another lie in tomorrow :)

Xxxx
 
Thanks Jo :) u too x
 
Sometimes you cant really plan for the unexpected Carly and all we can do is try to make up for it so your positive attitude is spot on. You dont let it unhinge your week . Proud of you honey ...
 
Carly, I got another STS.... Two weeks running now.....boo !!! A very busy social weekend and pizza was the culprit !!! Hehe !! Going to give myself a shake and a mental talking to, and tomorrow is a brand new squeeky clean calorie counting day !!! Besides eating that kind of food gives me a nasty food hangover now !!! Hehe !!!
