Day 1 and giving me a chance

Welcome back - glad you had a lovely holiday and have a great day catching up on here! You will shift that gain in no time, you'll see!

Good luck with the fresh start today!
 
Seems I will have to start on Monday, not today. I had to get some strong pain killers from doctor yesterday, got some very inflammed joints at the moment....I was advised to take them after a meal. I decided I could still take them after a milkshake and I have spent the last 40 minutes feeling incredibly ill and sick.
So, will eat normally till Sunday night......I just need to get these joints back to normal and am confident I can manage better Monday on just 3 pills a day...not the maximum I am taking at the moment.

Would say I will only eat protein but, we know I wont be able to stick to that.

Am disappointed as had got myself all ready and focused but, can't take another 2 tablets and feel even worse than right now.
Will still be around, want to stay in 'the zone' mentally in readiness for Monday.
Feel a bit deflated now....was looking forward to being a couple of pounds lighter by the end of the weekend...just so desperate to get rid of the weight I have put on.
 
Aww Jax... thats bad news about your joints.
You should do what the meds say, as your health comes first.
Take care

Hi Jax,

Just try and make the best choices you can over the weekend hun, try the smaller portion thing too....something I really struggle with!! It might surprise you on monday when you weigh in. Hope you feel better soon though..xxx
 
Hello my lovelies,
At last I can re-start today.
Wont bore you with my moaning about my joint pains,etc. Worked out a minimum dose of pain control and am feeling better, so can get back to Exante. :)

Needless to say I am desperate to get started again.
Weight has fluctuated over the past 4 days but, this morning I weighed in at 19.3.
That means in the past 3 weeks I have put on 12lbs....that doesn't sound so bad as I expect to get rid of that in the mext 10 days.

I do have a trip to Butlins next weekend with my 2 youngest nephews. Have learned not to make predictions but, will aim to not eat anything bread based or cakes or chocolate !! I think that is acheivable rather than no foods at all....will be impossible for me to watch the boys have all sorts and me just stick to shakes and bars! Know myself too well.:p

So, here's to DAY 1 OF RE-START.... so happy !!
 
Good luck with day 1 Jax...you can do it and you will do it like you have before. Tape up your fridge and surround yourself with water and keep busy doing something you enjoy. List down your goals and I find they help me stick with it in times of doubt. Here if you need to chat or scream. Take care babes .....skinnydom here you come...........and weighing 18 something next week too xxx
 
Good luck with your re-start jax...xxx
 
So how has it been Jax????
 
Hope your restart day was a good un Jax
:)
 
Hello lovely ladies,
Day 2 today...first day went without any fuss. Expecting today to be tough as I am yearning for sweet things but, just have to rely on Coke Zero for a treat.
Feel calmer now I have re-started. I was feeling incredibly anxious waiting to get back on the programme...there was very little enjoyment when I was eating rubbish over the past couple of weeks....my relationship with food is a mess. Hope I learn how to develop a better eating pattern and not rely on food to be my comforter,etc.

Looking forwad to seeing pink on the Ketostix by the weekend!

Yay! I'm back:)
 
Hiya DEL JAX

I have just read your whole diary and i have to be very honest with you..It took me right back to 2005 reading how its such a struggle to get to grips with dieting when you start at such a high number..I could see myself in most of your posts about frustration and every day being a constant battle....You seem to have been having a real rollercoaster ride with TS WS etc...Its so hard at times isnt it... Good luck huni with you re start iwish you every success xxxxx
 
Well done on getting through the first couple of days jax, you are doing really well...keep it up..xx
 
Glad your back Jax :D
 
Good morning ,
Can I start DAY 2 again !! It went boobies-up yesterday, wont bore you with details.:break_diet:
Needless to say I used food to ''comfort'' myself yesterday and I swear I wont do it today. I must get that Beck book...can anyone tell me more about it?

I am up and ready for work, though wont be leaving for another 2 hours....waiting for a roof inspector as some nice person has pinched the lead off of my roof !!!

Fortunately I am a Leaseholder and am hopeful of not incurring any huge costs.

*Valentine*..thanks for your words of encouragement. It's great to see your total loss so far, proves to me it can be done.

I have a lunch-out group to support today...just coffee and a bar for me. I have rarely ate at lunch-time for a couple of years, so this isn't a 'danger area' for me. I do all my damage when I have to go to a shop or there is cake around!!!

Anyway, here's to a better day ladies...I look forward to group feeling of a sense of acheivement at the end of the day.:)
 
Enjoy your new Day 2! With you on the cakes though - never had a sweet tooth until I got up the duff, then had a cake (or three) every day of my pregnancy!! Had a thoroughly enjoyable 9 months!!!!:p
 
How has your day been today Jax?..xx
 
Well, managed to get through the day but, I could eat my right arm , I'm that hungry !!! Lol

Did take a bite out of a sausage earlier.....my nephew looked at me in horror.! I said I was checking if it was cooked....:eek:

Must try and have my shakes regularly tomorrow.
Feel tired , so am off to bed.
Night night everyone and thank you all for always being here . xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Poor you Jax- sorry you are having a rough re-start! Hopefully it will get easier for you s the days pass and ketosis kicks in. Perhaps up to 4 packs just until you get into ketosis to help pass some of those hunger pangs???? Big hugs xxx
 
That's good advice Lady G...never occurs to me to have 4 packs when hungry?
Had an egg this morning as I am sure it's my brain telling me 'food,food,food'.....my tummy will get used to getting back to Exante long before my brain will !!
Going to make a strawberry shake up in a mo and then keep myself busy for a while.....don't want to go to shops as don't trust myself today and I AM NOT BREAKING THIS DIET TODAY!

Looking forward to those scales shifting....can't wait to get out of these 19's. :(
