Hi guys
It's the time of year I reckon!! Wasn't there something in the paper about this being the time that most people call in sick to work or something?
Anyway - I had a bad week too. We'd been lipotrimming for two weeks, and I was down 14lbs. Then hubbie just decided it wasn't for him and went onto refeeding after about 12 days of SSing. That kind of knocked me for six - the insidious eating bit of my brain persuaded me to do it too so I did - refed, did a few days of maintenance...
It hasn't made me feel awful, because though I did put some lbs back on, I'm not back up at my starting weight. That in itself has been an incentive for me - almost as if it really proved this will work if I can just stick to it.
Plus my friend who got me started on this - she did it religiously for seven weeks, never cheated once and lost two stone. She's now at my target weight and just watching her with the whooping and the grinning is quite the motivation for me!!
Today I decided to go back onto SS. Have just had a coffee, my water and my first shake of the day. Hubbie is content to look after himself and not be waving food around me.
It's interesting actually, while on maintenance I had one or two meals that aren't exactly in the healthy eating bible - three slices of pizza and two glasses of wine, or a small curry and two beers. One thing I noticed is how icky eating crap food makes me feel - it bloats my tummy, gives me zits, the alcohol makes my head feel woolly the next day - and so soon on the heels of having had such a detox through SSing it's also helped me go back to just shakes 'n' water.
Anyway - here's hoping things go better from here on out!
