How to lose half your body weight in 10 days (Or a bit longer!)

Lol for me calories and calamity are often one and the same!

Food sounds delish! How was the mac and cheese? Looks really good in the mag.
How are you today? X
 
Morning :)

The mac n cheese was nice. Very filling. I've not had it before so I wasn't sure what to expect.

Been up to tend to the chickens, came down with 8 eggs, and the postman was at the gate so we got the post and nate carried the parcel. With a quick play on the slide and trampoline for Nate in between.

Request for dinner is spag bol.... It would be totally wrong to have the mac n cheese for lunch and spag bol for tea wouldn't it?
 
Haha I would eat that :)

Is the mac and cheese in the latest mag? X
 
Day on plan. Half syn for milk, 13 for kit kat. Weekly total just under 70. Resisted everyone's ice lollies. So happy Nate doesn't like them.

I left him in the park asking one of the mums to keep an eye on him and he didnt care I left. Which is huge fabby news. Usually he is just left for an hour a week with my dad who he adores. So this was brilliant. He was asking for more drink so I had to run to the shop. While I was there a woman who works there said she didn't recognise me. She looked at me and thought "it isn't fran is it? No? Maybe? I think... It is!" Haha. My accent blend of yorkshire, Norfolk and west country makes me a bit different! She said she couldn't believe how different i look. It is tiny. I was only in jeans, an old greying black vest top and a white cardigan. Nothing special or flashy.

Hoping my daily trips to the park has helped to shift some lbs. I have been so hungry this week! On plan, but lots of food all the same. I need 1.5lbs to be entered into the prize drawer. I've got a big bag of clothes and 2 pairs of shoes ready to hand over for the clothing drive at sw.

Just need to keep thinking stress over moving etc is giving me lumps on my fingers and toes, i don't need to add fat lumps by using stress as an excuse to eat cr@p.
 
Well done resisting lollies!

You've had a busy week it's no wonder you've been hungry! You may feel you've been eating lots but it's all been on plan! You must be burning loads of calories all the sorting and lugging stuff about, add to that the park trips and I bet you're well on track for a good loss tomorrow.

Haha I'm intrigued about your accent! Trying to hear in my head what a blend of those 3 would be but can't place it! How cool that she almost didn't recognise you, you're disappearing in front of people's eyes :) good luck for weigh in hun xx
 
Thanks sweetheart. I think aunt flo was the culprit. I dunno, I feel a bit "blah, who cares" about it this week. I bet my heart will be racing before the scales though. haha.

I think I sound west country now, except to west country people who can hear the other two. I will sound yorkshire-ish when I go back up. I'm terrible for picking up accents accidentally. damn it.
 
Morning Fran, just catching up on your diary. Firstly I actually laughed out loud about Nate kicking you in the head, Its a good job no one else starts til 9! I'm not actually laughing at the kicking, its the way you write it! Its great you weren't recognised in the shop, you are defo shrinking your losses have been great for a few weeks. Its the packing, lugging and going to the park thats helped I think.

Good luck for WI.
 
Hey, thanks guy.

Honest Nate is such a pain to share with. He kicks me, then when i finally go lie at the bottom of the bed he comes and gets me there too! He was an utter pest at group shouting away and beings loon and he hasn't improved as they day has gone on. He is soon to be chucked into bed for a nap. Mum and dad are doing the food shop now so I have saved some pennies there! Which is handy as there's some stuff online I want to buy for the house.

Lost half a lb at weigh in, which is ok, I was half expecting a gain because I have eaten so much. Yes i was hungry, and yes it was on plan, but it still all counts as calories. So I didn't qualify for the draw (which wasnt done anyway) but cheater who doesn't write her gains did. Bang on 14lbs (without counting all the gains!) After she did fast forward this week and lost 6lbs. I say boo to her.

So sw total is 5st 10lbs, total total is 6st 8lbs. I need 11 more lbs to hit my mid-july goal. Aiming for 2lbs this week to be at the half stone mark. I always struggle to get from the half stone award tp the full stone award and it makes me crazy. I totally want to binge though. I walked out of tescos singing "i want minstrels, I want a big cake, I want to eat fish and chips 'til my tummy aches" it was most musical mum was laughing at me and a sw member was walking across the street to say hi and she made me sing it again. Lol. There's a big pack of walkers crunchy crisps that mum and dad brought back that keeps telling me to eat them. What is annoying is I don't want a little bit of something. I want all of everything. It's been for a couple of days and I can only think it is the moving stresses that is getting to my sub conscious and is manifesting into a need to obliterate worries by making me stuff myself and feel ill. Quite frankly, nutty brain, I am not having it. Eating ten tonnes of crap will improve exactly nothing in my life and I shan't be playing your silly game.

A lot of my group consists of older, retired, ladies. Today we had one in tears, she spoke to me later and it was because she can't cope with family stuff and so stuffed her face and she put on even more than she expected. Bless her heart. She is such a nice lady. Another lady gained this week, she had bad news about her knee op, and a jar of peanut butter was staring at her. She got a spoon and ate the entire thing and was so horribly ill afterwards she didn't think it would have put much weight on. The 2nd lady is 77, she is the head of the local Women's Institute, she has a busy social life and a loving family. In 50 years from now I do not want to be doing the same thing as her, the same thing as I have always done. So no, stupid brain, we are not going to binge. It didn't help them, it will not help me, it does not help anyone or anything.
 
Fran, well done on the loss.

I heart your post. You are so right about binging. I don't want to be like this at 70 odd- so it's now or never. Well done you for not giving in.

As for the cheat at your class - your C should know her gains too.

I lol'd at your little song!

I second everything in this post!

Well done on another consecutive loss hun, and kicking your brain into touch. Hopefully once you've moved it'll calm down more and you won't have to have these convos with zi brain (although I find I still do :D) xx
 
The song was great. What is funny is I was chatting to the Tesco lady about wanting to eat loads of rubbish and she told me how she ate an entire trifle yesterday. And then said "i do that and then wonder why my clothes don't fit." So I know there are so many people doing the same thing.

I'm not craving them in the sense I have the taste in my mouth. It is pure and simple self abuse and I would derrive no pleasure from it. I'm sure I will keep telling off the sub conscious. It had been annoying me for a couple of days so the two older ladies really hit home.
 
I agree for me when I want to binge it's not so much the taste it's just I think I need it. You're right it is just abuse.
 
Well done Fran hun the numbers on the scales are coming down nicely week by week for you. I was sitting chuckling at the little ditty too lol.
 
I don't think crispies and chips and cake etc are bad in themselves, or that eating them normally is abusing your body. I'm not completely mental. (ha ha stop rolling your eyes). It's more to do with the motivation behind it. And I know recently and in the past it has been a bizarre punishment, not a comfort or a craving or an addiction.

*tries to look less mental*
