Dairy of a yoyo!!

So... Last 2 weeks has been bad!!! Got down to 17st 5. This was 2 weeks ago on a Sunday so not official weighin. Since then I've clocked anywhere between 17st9 and 17st6 (this morning.)


There's a new girl at work who just wants to hang out. Which is fine. But she's a heavy drinker and guilts me into drinking in the pub after work. So a couple of drinks and I feel rough as. She's bigger and taller then I am. She also keep "baking cakes" for me under the guise of feeding my dep. she made Oreo brownies yesterday. My will power is out the window and I feel miserable. Shes also bought in several "easter" gifts over the last week.

I have tracked everything (including the packet of tuc cheese sandwich crackers I ate in the car on my 4hour journey yesterday) and I've done all my weeklies and 5 extras. I've eaten out a couple of times. But I've discovered that Toby carvery isn't so bad. But in the last 2 weeks 2 kfcs (all be it wraps and not fried chicken but still) and cakes and chocolate and all sorts has disappeared down me.

I dunno. Kinda glad I'm at my parents. I can probably get a grip on it. I certainly won't be drinking or stuffing my face here.

You aren't alone hon. I went completely off the rails the last couple weeks. I didn't track anything and I'm definitely WAY over. There was a day I even ate an entire multipack of flakes. I use food as a comfort when I'm low and have always done that so it's a struggle to get it in hand. I did ok yesterday though.
I've gained back about 4-5lb.
It's not the end of the world though and we can still pull it back I think - it is hard when people are shoving cakes and alcohol in your face. Chin up lovely, we can get back on track xx

 

[sapphirestara]

Yeah it is good we can. Ur right too, It could have been worse..... I think it's the sheer volume! I've forgotten to stop eating! It was going so well!!!

We can do it! X

Yep. Other people can get in the way of our plans. Sometimes I plan my food for the weekend and then my sister arrives and it all goes out the window in a haze of alcohol and cakes lol. She's a size 6 too so it's very annoying/depressing!!

We can defo get back on track. It's just a blip for us

 

[sapphirestara]

Oh no lol!!


Not picked up! Now 12pp over my weeklies!!!!

 

[azwethinkweiz]

It's still pull backable (I know that's not a word lol). A nice brisk walk tomorrow maybe? Get some fruit in for snacks? I had treats today too - I'm always a bit naughty on a Friday evening haha! I find it much easier to be on track during the week if I plan my days beforehand hehe...

 

[mybodyisacage]

wow it seems like we're all having a difficult couple weeks at the same time! I totally agree that it is def pullbackable! Its such a difficult situation you are in with your new friend. maybe you can have a stern word? like when you are back from easter say your on a bit of a health kick and you want her support?

She's incredibly overbearing. Very strong personality. Unlike me!

Tbf I do t have to eat it because its in front of me.....!

 

[mybodyisacage]

Lol but it does make every day a bloody challenge which doesn't help!

 

[sapphirestara]

Cream eggs, chocolate bunnies, spoony eggs and bloody homemade Oreo brownies!!!!! I didn't even know they existed!!!!


How are you feeling?

 

[mybodyisacage]

Ahhhhh man what a nightmare. You could say you're on tablets so you can't drink. Sadly I don't think there are any tablets which means that you can't eat cake lol

I am dying lol

I know it's hard sweetie, but just say no. You know my background and trust me, if I can say no to things then anyone can! It will be worth it in the end

 

[sapphirestara]

I will. Am back on track. I just know how awful som girls are when the green eye monster bites. I haven't broadcast my diet and haven't exactly lost so much you'd notice, but still.....


I've made the decision to be t total. Not drinking again. I'm pretty sure my liver is messed up and it's 2 weeks of the of drink here and there that's changed my appetite and affected my weightloss. It also coincided with a drop in points. Not sure how certain people in my life will react to that.....but hey ho.

My loses have been slow. Scales show 17st6. I'm exercising each day with the dogs (seems easier at my parents) within points and the works. It's nearly totm. I'm feeling a bit low to be honest. My mum keeps saying I should be shifting 2lbs a week but it seems not to be happening. I dunno.

It's hard when it all seems to be for nothing. I would definitely agree with giving up the drink. Firstly your liver will thank you and secondly you will be less likely to eat over your points as you will be more aware, if that makes sense.

Are you tracking everything you eat (apologies if that sounds rude)?

 

[sapphirestara]

You could never sound rude!

I'm not to be honest. I've broken my cardinal rule!! When I'm at my parents it's hard too (much easy when it's just me and no one else needs feeding). I try but I'm never convinced that I'm getting it right. I'm normally under but find it easier to cal count or just eat healthy.

I know I'm bad. But I always exercise at home.

 

[WillowFae]

Do you use My Fitness Pal? I track calories on there as well as points on WW. You can find me as WillowFae there.

I know that tracking (points or calories) has made a huge difference to me. So much so that when I started it was part of my abstinence rules. It's not a rule now, but I still feel so much more comfortable when I do track.

 

[sapphirestara]

Ill find you! I use it to look stuff up but maybe I should get more in the habit!!

I feel virtuous when I track- first week and 4lb loss in jan was ace. Most I've done in a week.

I need to get a grip!!

 

[WillowFae]

See. I hate to say it, but you know that it works if you write everything down!

 

[azwethinkweiz]

I'm just starting to do a fresh week from today and definitely gonna write everything down like Willow is saying because sometimes I'm surprised at what our how much I've eaten. I keep going up and up in weight and really want to get back down to where I was before Christmas. Let's try for another good week, even better than last week hon. Keep your chin up, head held high ok xx

Also, good Idea on giving up drink for a while. I don't drink much at all these days because it only makes me feel crappier afterwards lol xx

Can I add you on MFP? You too Willow? X

 

[sapphirestara]

Course you can! Same user name as this but I am being special and can't use it properly!!! Ill pm my email xxx
