16/11/06; Back but with my tail between my legs!!
58/100
Haven't been around much as didn't want to bring people down - I know this isn't just a 'Happiness all the time' forum, but I've been really struggling and really didn't want to effect anyone.
Anyway, this is what happened; on Monday evening, after weeks of contemplating coming of VLCDs and losing weight by SW/WW I decided to give it a go, result? BIG MISTAKE!!! The 'old' me decided to rear her ugly head and I've been on a binge since Tuesday
Why oh why oh why!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I say binge, compared to my old ways it wasn't even in the same league - but I'm still left tired, miserable and very very bloated.
TOTM is due, and I'm getting cold symptoms (had a pounding head for the last few days), neither of which I am going to use as an excuse however they haven't aided the cause!!
The good thing is, although I have put a little weight on, that's easily undoable (that even a word?!) if I can get back to ss first thing Friday morning. I think I've finally taught myself that SSing is the easiest and ONLY way forward for me.
It's just been a crap few days in general - the exhaust fell of my car and now my mobile is playing up and I (temporarily) went off plan; things really do come in threes!!
Nonetheless, I've given myself a good talking too. Took my own advice for a flippin change and apologised now to forgive myself completely and move on.
I've taken a leaf out of Mini's book and have decided to set a deadline for my goal weight - none of this crap of changing my goal weight - I WANT TO BE 9 STONE. So, I am setting my target for April 20th 2007 thats my 25th Birthday and an easily achieveable target, even with a planned breaks for Xmas day, Boxing day and New Yrs Eve.
So the plan tonight is to be good to myself, not eat carbs before bed and then gaffa-tape my big old gob up! LOL!
I AM NOT A FAILURE, I FORGIVE MYSELF, I CAN DO THIS
I AM NOT A FAILURE, I FORGIVE MYSELF, I CAN DO THIS
Maybe if I say this enough I may actually beleive it!!
Much love, chelle xx

Hi hun,
God I know all about work! Am currently look for a job and that feels like a days work in itself! LOL!!
I'm fine, been tempted a few times but I know only 2 more days and I'll be in ketosis and my temporary weight gain will be removing itself from my tummy!!
My period is late again, damn things - the build up to it is always the worst, my damn hormones will have me up for murder. Poor Hubby, bless.
Much love, chelle xx

Hi babe - and well done for getting yourself back on the SS 'wagon' again
Any weight gain you've had really will be very temporary indeed - in fact you'll probably be amazed just how quickly it does comes off. I know I'm always surprised how easy it seems to be to lose the excess poundage that I've put on from my various 'times out' over the past 9 months.
And you're most definitely NOT a failure (I don't believe in the 'F Word' anyway ), you're just human! Accept it, and live with it! *lol*
Much love

18/11/06 back on 790!
60/100
Some people may be surprised to see I'm continuing my days and not starting from day 1 - but I promised myself at the start of this diet there will be no more day 1s and I really believe that it's important to keep this promise. I'm realising that I'm going to have to be exceptionally strict with my diet when I'm at goal, but for now I'm in the safety of CD790 and hope to be ssing by Monday. I started 790 yesterday, and have already lost 4lbs - so I really do hold water like a sponge. Hopefully I will nearly be back to my pre-binge-weight before seeing my counsellor on Monday, if not - it's another lesson learnt on this incredible journey to slim-chelle!
Have been messing about with My Virtual Model - Home and it's amazing to see changes happening that u can't see within urself! It's great fun - well worth having a lookey at!!
So for today, I'll keep on glugging that water and should hopefully be moving into ketosis.
Have a great weekend all!
Much love, chelle xx

hey Sharon *hugs!*
Yeh I've lost 4lbs already this morning and am doing 790 for a little bit. I always forget how carb sensitve I am, and I thought I was eating healthily by having porridge for breakfast - but then this sent me on an all-day-binge. I only realised last night at how many carbs are in a serving - it's no-blummin-wonder I binged!! Not worrying about it now, it's over and done with and all part of the journey - a lesson that I hadn't quite learnt but thats well and truly ingrained now!!!
Much love, chelle xx

Good luck being back on the wagon.
Sounds like you're doing it in the right way by 790-ing.
As a binger this week myself, I think sometimes the only way we can really, really learn what we're sensitive to is to have a big old lapse. Like a little test of ourselves maybe.
Glad you're posting on here again-keep doing it, even if you're feeling crap-support helps loads!
