Okay it's Tuesday and I'll tell you what I've learnt - take away the regime and i go mental!!!!!!!!!!!! Started today ok, cup of tea 3 ginger biscuits, not my usual fruit and yogurt but the same number of cals so I thought that's ok. Went to work for a bit, came home wandered into kitchen and ate 2 Biscuits! What! Ok then went swimming, 30 lengths very pleased with self. Home again and DD says, ' anyone fancy fish and chips for lunch', before i know I pipe up ' cor yeah!', husband agrees and ten minutes later damage is done! Then feel all needy for something sweet so whilst in town doing banking etc.. accidently purchase a packet of poppest and eat the lot! Right, you can see how this day is going. Bit later sitting cuddling the puppy, suddenly realise I urgently need and ice cream, next thing I know I have eaten one. OMG, when I have a bad day i don't mess about do I? I think what has happened is my chatterbox has been whispering in my ear something along the lines of:' You have a treat or 2 you deserve it, anyway there is no point in being good because of that nasty old thyroid, why don't you have a treat, go on you know you would like one'. AHHHHHHHHHH
So I think I had better give myself a damn good talking too and get back cal counting as I clearly am out of control and I don't like it. Please feel free to gove me as many kicks up the backside as you see fit!

Hi Barb
Look at it this way, you have learnt something today! You have learnt how easy it is to let your chatterbox get the better of you so next time you know not to give in to it!
Try not to worry about today and start afresh tomorrow.
You have probably burnt off loads of calories with that nice long swim!
Have a lovely evening

Thanks for the support, you are all so kind. I had my visit to the doctor today and I have had my dose of thyroxine doubled. She thinks I will start to feel better in a week or 2. However she said that whilst she is very pleased that I am cal counting and exercsing she feels I may be overdoing it and that is contributing to my exhaustion. She suggests I increase my cal intake and cut down my exercise for a week or 2 to see how I do. Don't know how I feel really. Confused, fed up, hopeful, unhopeful, just weird I suppose.

Hmm, well it's a new day and I stil feel a bit odd. Have got myself cal counting properly again as I could feel myself drifting off the whole plan. I am definately being a little less tough on myself but I do still need to see results. 24 lengths today so thats good. See how I do from here.

Right end of week8 and have stayed the same. Not to worried by that which is interesting in it's self. Time was I would have been upset and headed straight for the biscuit tin, today I just think I can do this and there is no real hurry. So long as I get there, I will be happy and pressurising myself is not going to make it happen. I am hoping the increase to my thyroid drugs will help and I definately feel more energetic already so I reckon this weeks gonna be a good one!
