Cheb....Too old to get home with the Dawn Chorus!

Hello

A good day so far, 1 pack as a mousse for breakfast and I'm just about to make a soup.

Took DS to a movie this afternoon and did treat myself to a skinny latte, I know strictly speaking I shouldn't but the odd one doesn't generally keep me out of the pink.

Went to a Total Body Tone class at the gym this morning, enjoyed it but enjoyed the pot of tea and gossip after the class even more!

Off out tonight, back to the cinema to see Miss Potter, didn't get there yesterday!

Anything to keep out of the kitchen!

We had a sighting of one of the furry beings last night; DS saw it go under the cooker. I asked him if it was covering its ears but he just looked puzzled and said 'Of course not, how would it run on 2 legs' Guess he doesn't share my sense of humour! Not sure if the sighting is a good sign or not, maybe it means they're on the move? We're all getting paranoid though, every noise we hear we think it's a mouse coming to attack us. The other night in bed DH whispered to me to look at his shoulder as he was sure he could feel something!!!! Of course I told him Minnie mouse was sitting there and to hold still while I grabbed her and threw her out the window LOL!!!!
 
Thursday 1st March- Still mucking about!

Morning All

Weight not dropping despite me living on a diet of 2 packs a day supplemented by a few biscuits and a couple of slices of bread and butter.....why is that do you suppose??????

Honestly I'm so stupid, I know this diet works but only if you follow it to the letter, no extras, yet every day I try to sneak extras and then if I have too many extras I just think oh well blown it for today may as well have a few more and start again tomorrow!

I have so much to motivate me.

1. A huge arse following me at all times!
2. Family portrait in 10 days time.
3. Holiday in 7 weeks time.
4. Gorgeous unworn clothes hanging in my wardrobe.
5. Knowing that presently I'm proving the diet sceptics right.....you always regain after a weightloss on a VLCD:mad:

So here I am 1st of March, ANOTHER fresh start.
 
Don't see it as another fresh start, see it as THE fresh start. You have some major incentives, and you know you can do it - so go Cheb, go!
 
I had visions of you diving in the duck pond and scoffing stale bread then!

Come on - a family photo that will stare down at you for years to come ... and may even end up as some family heirloom hanging on one of your great-great grandkids walls - you want to look your slinkiest!!

Positive vibes going your way ....
 
Hi Cheb, I know it's hard - I've put on 8lbs of the 50 I lost and am struggling to get back into ketosis after my hols a month ago. I have to get on top of it or it will keep going up. I was in ketosis yesterday but today found myself with a sandwich. I still don't know how that happened.

You aren't proving the VLCD critics right, it's hard to keep the weight off after losing it on anything. I've decided not to SS but to do 790 and that is working better. Well it was until the sandwich fiasco anyway.

Am going to keep going as there seem to be no other options apart from putting the weight back on. But I don't think of it as going back to day 1, I just think of it as carrying on the in the weight wars (although it does seem to be turning into one of those sci-fi fantasy series in 20 volumes at the moment)

Hi hun,

Don't be down on yourself, it is a really hard diet and at least you are still trying. It's when you give up that the trouble will start.

How did it go today? Any better?

You will do it 100% when your head is in the right place, its just finding out which one of your motivators will really spur you on and keep you focussed (JUST is such a small word!). Hope that 1st March went well in the trying again and if not, I hear that 2nd March is the new 1st of March.

Good Luck - and I'm not even going to ask about your furry's!! xxx
 
Evening Lovely Ladies

Just off to bed and thought I'd have a quick peek on here, I wasn't intending to post but after reading all your lovely words of encouragement I had to say thanks, you are the best:)

Today I have managed it 100% but I've wrestled with myself every minute of the day:sigh: It has not been easy it seemed there was food calling, no in fact shouting to me all day!

Tonight I went to a Pampered Chef Party - heard of them? Like a posh (very expensive) Tupperware party. It's like stepping into a different era full of Stepford Wives! Anyhow there were loads of nibbles and a demonstration Double Chocolate Dessert was served up with ice cream!!!:eek: Guess I chose the wrong day to start back eh? But I did it, I survived and how good do I feel now?

I feel really good and really proud of myself but still very weak willed when I think about tomorrow. Oh well one day at a time....

Night night, and thanks again for all your messages.
 
Well done on resisting that dessert :clap: and I do know what you mean about food shouting at you all day every day, but you know what? We're stronger than that - just by being ourselves we are :superwoman: !!

Anyway, :nightf: and catch ya tomorrow
 
Hi Cheb,

Your brill!!!

Don't think I could of survived a party like that...never heard of such a thing as a Pampered Chef Party? What is it they sell?

Well done for your iron will:D

Love Mini xxx
 
Evening

Another day ok(ish) so far.....

Stayed strong in Costa Coffee and almost stayed strong at my friends house but 7 jelly beans jumped into my mouth!:sigh: Never mind at least they didn't throw me off track, I've just carried on.

Weight had dropped 2lb this morning so that's always encouraging. After I went to bed last night I realised that I'd only had 2 packs, how come despite thinking of food all day I didn't remember to eat one of the 3 things I was allowed to have! I toyed with the idea of getting up to have it but there didn't seem much point in putting myself back in the dangerous place known as the kitchen. Promise I won't make a habit of it.
 
Those pesky jumping jelly beans!!! Still they're not going to make any difference to your weight loss - you are really doing well.
 
Rainy Sunday 4th March

Afternoon

After such a lovely day yesterday I was really in the mood for tidying the garden up today but it's pouring down and cold so the mood has left me, funny that:D

Diet is ok(ish) after my collision with the jelly beans on Friday I did climb off the wagon for a bread roll on Saturday:sigh: Today I've already had 2 tiny bite size cookies that DD made while I was at the gym. I'm so stupid cos I know that these stupid nibbly bits will keep me out of the pink, make me hungry for more and slow down any loss but still I do it. I almost felt that 'blow it' mind set earlier on and thought I may as well eat for the weekend and start again tomorrow but I'm not going to let it win and will plough on with the packs. Maybe by Tuesday I'll finally reach that special pink place?

My weight has dropped by another 1lb so that's 3 off since Thursday but still4lb up from my ticker so I've now got s8lb to target. I'm concentrating on a min goal of 12st by next Sunday for the photo, 7lb in a week. I know it's possible if I make it my first week of PROPER 100% SSing.

Went to the gym this morning and suffered an awful class with an instructor I really don't like. I was so cross that we weren't informed that our usual class and instructor had changed. Still I stuck it out to the end but really didn't enjoy it and I'm really grumpy now!

Off to tidy my bedroom up, DH commented on the caterpillars crawling around the picture rail....cheeky bugger I know it's a while since I dusted! Think I'll just leave the duster out for him eh?

Hope you're all enjoying your Sunday.

Hugs.
 
I also had a clean and tidy day Cheb - must be this awful weather!

Also slightly off the wagon as well!! Mmmmmm roll on Tuesday!
 
Evening All

Well another day of SSing just about done and dusted talking of dusted I actually only dusted 'my side' of the bedroom yesterday, DH can clear his own caterpillars! How petty and small minded am I?

Weight dropped another lb this morning, still on target for 12st by Sunday 6lb to go.....keep your fingers crossed for me an maybe if I do the same I won't cave in and eat, it's tricky to eat with crossed fingers anyhow!

DS has an appointment to be assesed for Aspergers tomorrow, feeling quite apprehensive about it. I don't think he will cooperate at all, he was very angry when I mentioned the appointment and accused me of trying to have him put in a mental hospital! I have no idea where that sprang from:sigh:

On Wednesday I'm going to St Thomas' with MIL for pre-assesment for surgery to remove part of her lung. So it's a week of hospitals for me.

Hope you are all doing well.

Hi Cheb :)

I for one think you are being so strong and keeping up the fight here. Especially with all these other issues and appointments to go to. Let us know how tommorow goes hun,

Lacey :D
 
A difficult day.

Hello

Had a very long appointment with the consultant who has diagnosed DS with Aspergers. No great surprise to me but I was surprised that she was so definitive. She says it is very obvious and that he is very typical. I feel a sense of relief in having someone agree with me cos my family and in particular DH never accepted that our son may have Aspergers. I also feel confused about what happens next - not much it seems - and quite sad thinking about his future which it seems may not be all that we/he would wish for. The consultant painted quite a black picture on how he may or may not cope with secondary school, her advise is for to be a 'pushy parent' a role that does not come naturally to me.

As yet we have not discussed the diagnosis with DS, he was not present at that point. So that's the next hurdle as one of the main make up's of his character is that there's nothing wrong with him, it's everybody else that is odd!

Oh well, we have to deal with all that life offers us, my son is healthy and mostly happy, he is very intelligent and has a loving family around him. He hasn't changed simply because it's acknowledged that he has a 'condition' so we carry on as before but with perhaps a little more knowledge and understanding.

Thanks for listening!
