I'm here - sorry been hectic since we returned to UK and I have been at caravan for a week with my sister and our kids ... bloody bigger than ever!! Saw the most horrendous picture of myself, it was taken on Saturday ... will share it with you later, am going to upload and print it loads of times and post it all over house and work to keep me on straight and narrow.

So I need inspirational meal ideas...anyone????

off to try and catch up with all your diaries xxxx

Hey Donna, sounds like you had a great time! The 'cock pastitsada' doesn't sound very appetising though and the 'frog ****' cocktail sounds ropey, but otherwise the menu sounds delish!! You can shift those excess lbs quickly and the main thing is that you're going to class Thurs and nipping it in the bud straight away which is the only way to do it basically and you'll be so glad you did whatever the damage ! Well done hun and welcome home! X

Hi Hev - didn't make it to class Meg was invited to Chessington so had to sit home waiting for her to be dropped off and then the excuses kick in don't they - especially as I know i was away for a week with my sister at the Caravan .... feeling rubbish and really deflated...on here looking for inspiration and a week's family meal plan - wish me luck xxx

Hi Donna glad u had a great holiday xx

Hi hun, so lovely to see you back! It's the only thing that matters! No beating yourself up now, just refocus and do what you know very well how to do! May I suggest that you look no further than your own thread for inspiration?! (Although looking at others can be inspiring too of course!) It's just that I can't think of anywhere else better than your own as it contains all the food you like - all those great ideas and recipes tried and tested! And looking back at your weight loss successes whilst you were eating all that delicious food will get you back on the rails if nothing else!! Are you sure you want to use negative imagery to motivate you? It does work for some people but not for me I'm afraid! It would be more likely to fill me with self hatred and remind me of how far I have to go! Do you have a pic of yourself looking slim and carefree that you could put up, or hang up an item of clothing in the size you'd love to get to? Just my opinion hun, whatever works for you to get you back in the zone I say xxxxxxxxx

Thanks Hev - i dont let anyone take a picture of me FULL STOP! there was a fun day at mil's caravan site on sunday and a lovely man took a pic of me and noah - and it was a make up call big time i genuinely forget how large i really am lol!!! at the mo i don't feel any self loathing i promise but if i do start heading in that direction, I have my gorgeous wedding pic to remind me how gorgeous i am

the most upsetting thing for me was...taking Noah swimming on thursday and my rapidly fading suntan dissolving in the chlorinated water

Im glad you don't loathe yourself hun as this isn't good! I would say I'm somewhere in the middle of self-loathing and self- liking! X

 

[Andrea81]

By, that Heather talks a lot of sense doesn't she?
I find my "before" picture(s) hideous and vile but still motivational. I'm not that person anymore so I don't feel put off by it.
Donna you sound really up for it and ready to get back on the plan and stuff, whatever you think will work for you - go for it but Heather's so right about looking back at your own diary. There's 30 pages of inspiration for you right there!


Are you getting weighed tomorrow then? Good luck if so. xx

Hev - I've just reread your last post, you are gorgeous, generous, caring, supportive, fun, loving, truthful, inspiration, focused, determined, you should be somewhere between self liking and self loving xxx

 

[donnajt]

The moment of truth .....

W E I G H D A Y ..... 16 stone 8lbs ..... meaning only a 6lb gain ....

Absolutely! Well said that girl!

I think that's a terrific result Donna - it's never as bad as you think it's going to be. Strangely enough, I find the bad results seem to crop up out of the blue when you least expect them. When you think the worst it never seems to work out that way (IMO).

So what's on your agenda for the weekend now the scales are out of the way? x

Hi Andrea - well dropped Meg to sister's as she is off on a tour of Arsenal's Emirates Stadium....been shopping...I love food shopping lol!

Taken me an hour to squeeze all the food into my bulging cupboards, Noah asleep, Paul watching Jamie Oliver, I am sitting here trying to figure out meal plans (but I am bored already) and have found myself writing yet another shopping list lol (Paul will hit the roof)

Tomorrow Paul is working overtime so I shall be houseworking and sneaking to Tesco with the kids ... don't tell him x
