*deep breath* my journey to a thinner / healthier me

Hi Emmy! the jumpsuit is lovely definitely getting into the summer spirit. Do you know that Yours has a shop in Manchester town centre if you fancied a trip you could ooh and ahh over the clothing in person! I went at Christmas and got an ace outfit for Christmas day and it made a change from Evans and New Look.

Loving the positives, might just nip and mooch around holiday websites for a bit would love to spend some time in the sun! xxx

Hi Emmy
I have just been reading through your journey so far & you are doing so well. You have motivated me to get back on plan properly instead of half heartedly following it. Thank you :) And I love all your positives.

Oh & wow 6 dogs... sounds like heaven. I have a Charlie, he is my 10 yr old shepherd x rottie cross & 4 ferrets.

Keep up the good work, you are doing great.
 
Morning everyone :wavey:

It's been a bit of a manic morning today. I got up, got brekkie and then had to rush around getting things sorted for coming over to mum's, so I had no chance to get online properly.

Sat here scoffing a punnett of strawberries and having proper trouble thinking up my positives for today :confused:

Hope everyone is doing good :)
 
Afternoon :)

Your positives will come have a great day! Xx
 
Thanks ladies

I really hope they hurry up as looking at stuff for the holiday just isn't helping motivation wise today.

I don't feel ill or anything, just really weepy and everything seems so daunting :confused: This is where I'd normally raid the chocolate tub, so I'm waiting for Chris to finish in the kitchen and I'll go make my lunch xx
 
Don't you be raiding the the chocolate missy!

Try sitting down on your own for a while and have a think about why your feeling this way, if you can't work it out have a really good cry anyway sometimes it just what we need to feel better, chin up lovely its a long journey but it will be worth it xx
 
Nope, no chocolate is passing my lips until my mini hobnobs tonight (and I've already put them in my syn allowance), I've got my egg salad in front of me and a big glass of water, then I plan on getting a banana afterwards

I'm worrying about weigh in on monday and I think I'm also freaking out about turkey to be honest, like what I'll do on the plane if I'm too big for the seat (though when we went in 2009 the stewardess said we could keep the armrest up and I got a seatbelt extension, so I was fine). It just seems very close and I'm worrying that I've given myself too high a target to hit by then.

And then to top it all off, mum has gone out for the afternoon with my brother's gf and once again I wasn't invited. In a way I'm glad as it means I didn't skip lunch, get peckish and snack on rubbish, but on the other hand I'm hacked off at being left out yet again :8855:

Sorry to be such a moaning minnie today, I'm trying to snap out of it :bighug:

You aren't being a moaning minnie at all hun!!! Don't think that, its a daunting task which we are all on, and I find myself having days where i'll put something on and it looks horrid, and it will start off a spiral which would end up with me crying huge amounts, and trying when trying to explain it, found I couldn't I just felt I needed a cry.

Shenzi is right, have a think as to what it could be, or just cry, it is good for you, can help you push the bad feelings out. Think you've just found a positive though...

Even though you are having a weepy day you were strong and didn't reach for the chocolate, and for that you should be incredibly proud of yourself. As everyone else here will be proud of you because we all know how difficult it can be!

Keep your chin up lovely lady, the day will get better and you'll feel better for knowing you are sticking to plan!

Don't worry about weigh in, you've been following the plan 100% so you will be losing weight, even on weeks you don't lose, your body will be getting healthier and slimmer and it might just take a while for it to show on the scales, there are just under 30 weeks to the first weekend in July and that works out at around 1.5lbs a week to lose before you go on holiday, there will be weeks where you lose more and weeks where you don't lose that, but it is definitely doable! Believe in yourself... You've made it through the hardest first few days of the diet without giving in you just need to carry on and it will get easier :D
xxxx

ps sorry i'm rabbling!!! haha xxx

Don't apologise hun, it makes total sense and you're helping. I'm going to throw myself back into planning stuff for the holiday, not think about sw and just try and focus on upping my mood.

I've come too far in this short space of time to go off plan, so I'll still be 100% :)

I remember this time last week, I'd not long since weighed myself and I was 2lbs lighter than I was at my last weigh in with the nurse. So I'm just trying to keep that in mind :p
 
:mad: mum has come back and she's only gone and bought bags of chocolate, sweets etc for everyone else, and then pulled her face when I said I didn't want pistachio nuts or rainbow drops :confused:

So I've gone and grilled my lamb steak (it was way too small to put in my stir fry) and just had it now. Chris is getting me pork steaks from morrisons to go in the stir fry instead.

I've spotted a gorgeous maxi dress on ebay that I'm currently watching and going to bid on tomorrow. It's from yours clothing in a size 24, I'm looking at that small as I know their sizes come up big on me for some reason. It's soooo pretty and very summery, which is exactly what I've been looking for.

I'm going to attempt these positives ...

1) despite feeling crappy, I didn't go for the chocolate tub, I went and made my lunch instead
2) I can't remember the last time I looked at size 24 clothes, and that just shows how determined I am to make this work
3) I have another filling, healthy dinner planned for tonight
4) I'm going to be 5.5 syns UNDER my allowance today
5) I have around about 7 weeks to wait until we can choose our seat numbers on the plane for our holiday
6) Chris is treating me to 2 boat trips in turkey, one night time trip and one day time trip, and he's paying for it just to be us 2 on the boat :p

I CAN do this, I've come this far without giving up, without slacking on this new eating plan, and despite the awful day I haven't binged and I haven't given in :woohoo:
 
Well done you :D

a) you found your positives despite having 'one of those days' :D

b) you avoided the rubbish your Mum bought home

c) you didn't turn to food when not invited along :D

I am so so proud of you huni I really am :D well done :D :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Im very proud of you too!! I find yours clothing generous to, happily in an 18 from there!!xx
 
Thanks ladies :D

Stir fry turned out amazingly well and I'm glad I got Chris to get me pork as it worked really well, plus it meant I could grill my lamb steak and have that while the others were pigging out on chocolate. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if they actually want me to succeed in this?

Chris is going to his mum and dad's on monday night to fetch the new fridge freezer. I don't know if I can be bothered going with him, so I might just stay at home, have a soak in the bath and have the bed to myself.

Plus it means I can stay on plan as we'd need to do food shopping so I have something in to snack on in the car, plus dinner at his parents, plus breakfast and lunch for the following day :eek:
