Detoxing with SnS

Thanks Kat! And day 2 is here at the start of a brand new week. I reminded myself this morning to read through the start of your diary to help me keep going, to understand what motivated you this time to help you succeed as I need to apply that to myself. I know you struggled after your first brilliant success to "get back into" for a while (like I've done previously on countless times) but you've succeeded this time and your original focus and determination is there.

So so I start my week with a positive I can do I will approach. I know when I'm down on myself it's harder. On a personal front it's been a tough few weeks for various reasons and I'm not sharing that to make an excuse for not sticking to plan it's a choice I make really to eat, over eat and drink and not a good one. Socialising and eating is one thing but just not stopping is a bad choice I make.

I've just ended or separated from a relationship with a friend of 30 years plus. It's been like a break down of a marriage but I feel relief yet tinge of sadness but it was stressing me being part of it. Sorry that was a completely random sharing of thoughts!

Morning Kira, any kind of long term relationship brake down is a stress, drain, worry & emotional roller-coaster. Sometimes we have to make the break for our long term sanity. Hope your ok.

I'm not sure what clicked with me this time I think like everyone we just have to be in the Zone and tell ourselves over & over that WE CAN do this, believe we can and we will succeeded.

Here's to a fab start to the week :)
 
Clearly after a great start to the year I allowed myself to be derailed for whatever the reason, highs and lows of life. There will always be there I just need to continue to negotiate them without turning to food and drink to celebrate or commiserate! For me they seem to come in equal measures.

So day 2 I've managed to get to this evening and I found it relatively easy though didn't manage to drink enough water. I'm looking forward to day 3 maybe I'll get myself on to a roll rather than IF?!
 
Day 4! Very hectic at work so late nights have meant no tricky evenings to negotiate! Just straigh to bed to sleep! Not sure I can sustain but let's see how far I get.
 
Day 4 already ! ! ! !

That's fab, well done Kira, you can do it, please don't doubt yourself x
 
Well day 6 is here and somehow I've managed to get here. This time around it's been so harder and I hin it's because I'd started comfort eating. Hey the fist few weeks when I started in January I found so much easier?!

i haven't weighed which for me almost being in denial but as long as in doing the days I'm happy with that.

Your on a roll . . . .

Day 6 = great willpower, massive well done my lovely. Those scales will no doubt be very very kind to you :) it can be hard to get back into it after a break or a blip so seriously massive we'll done x x
 
Thanks Kat! Made it to day 8 today though I strullged yesterday as I was out and had a protein meal no carbs and declined the alcohol! I was very very tempted if I'm honest. That oh this so hard what's the point feeling! I think today could be tricky more so in the evening but I'll try and focus and not undo the weeks Effort.

Well done on resisting the alcohol, It's always easy to say it to someone else but keep strong Kira, day 8 / 9 or day 1 again ! I know which I would rather.
What a fab start to a new week you being in such a prime position ! You CAN do it x
 
Thanks Clin!

good start to week despite almost breaking down into tears at work for no apparent reason other than feeling overwhelmed. I think it's phantom periods given I haven't had totm for months . I think I'm heading out of peri menopause and heading closer to menopause? I wondered if that's why I've struggled to stick to plan over past few weeks and been all over the place?
 
Hi Kira well done for scrambling back onto the wagon and clinging on for dear life!!

Indulge your emotions, have a good cry whenever you feel like it :) :)

I'm on day 2 so following in your footsteps :) :)

Xxx

Well done for cutting off from a toxic friendship. In many ways harder than ending a relationship! ! But as the years go on its easier to see who is a positive and who is a negative in your life. I cut off from a friend a couple of years ago as she was quite racist and was teaching her daughter racist words and I didn't want my kids hearing it and I didn't want to hear it myself so haven't seen her since and deleted off Facebook. Don't want to always wonder if today would be a day that I'd need to smile politely at a racist comment or to create tension by arguing.

Have a great day!!
 
Thanks Lou anand well done on clambering back on. It's so hard and yes I'm still hanging on by the skin of my teeth!

its brave doing what you did severing ties with someone like that and it's hard. I'm feeling better despite the stress I webt through to end the toxic friendship.

Tmrw I have night out and I think it will be tricky but I'll play it by ear.
 
Morning Kira,

Auto pilot is good if it keeps you on track.

Good luck on the night out tonight, you've done incredibly well this past week so just think if that and if you do slip up this evening it's not the end if the world x x x
 
Well friday night was out and I managed ok and visitors over weekend so not strictly plan but was sensible avoided the naughties and I did a lot walking. So happy with that. Ideally though I would love to get a straight 6 weeks on vlcd but if it means vlcd most of the time and sensible eating with no carbs or very low carbs then I'd be happy with that.
 
Morning ladies. I've decided to try CWP and you will recall I had planned and going with Lawrence brown of dual dynamics (he does coaching etc too). Anyway never got an appointment and I'm not going to chase if he doesn't need want my business fine.

Im going to a new CWP not far from my office and I can get weighed Monday evenings. I feel I really need the support and just a change of products may help. I've been ok over weekend but not 100% which I need and want to be. I may also start new diary as I've procrastinated here as well as having not too badly at times. I need to freshen up if you like?

Will report back this evening.
