Poo Poo Poo .... well that started me off AGAIN!
Sat 20th August
Mum's .... biscuits, 2 small pieces (ie about 3 bites each) of bread with clover and a crunchie
Golf clubhouse - bacon roll with mayo (today was our annual letting off of balloons at the golf course Dad used - 4th anniversary today)
Ferry terminal - Half a piece of chocolate tiffin (there was an 'Art at the Ferry' exhibition which I wanted to see so stayed up EVEN later - wasn't worth it!)
Bed
Tea - Small tin of pilchards with salad.
Work - Asda meal bar
I've just spent the last 2.5 hrs trawling through last years' diary to see if i could see any pattern with the time of year/anniversary/approaching holiday/whatever .... there isn't one!
In fact I was being exceedingly 'good' this time last year. I was in the same position of wanting to lose 4lbs before my holiday but the difference is I was about 6lbs heavier then than I am now (or was on monday anyway!) ... I didn't end up losing it all, I went on holiday at 10st 5.6lbs 0.6lbs heavier than the year before. This year - unless things continue to go horribly wrong - I'll be going away lighter than ever so, in the grand scheme of things I'm not doing all that badly
Having said that, I've only had 1 good day this week which I'm not happy about AT ALL!! I really must pull my socks up! I don't want another gain this week xx
Edit - 2 chocs in the night

Glad it went well Jan! It is such a lovely thing to do. I might start doing something like that for my mum. On the anniversary of her death something rubbish happens every year so it would be nice to do something positive.
I know you can pull it back! Fab that your lighter than last year- must make you feel a bit better.
Hope you have a good day x

I always find the build up to the anniversary worse than the day itself. I spend weeks thinking 'this time that year' and what was happening then. Then as close as possible to the day I watch the dvd I made about him just before he died and gave a copy of to everyone at the funeral - have a good cry and then I'm set .

Good job Jan on being lighter this year for hols. The vlcd seems to do the business for you. Here's to a good week.

I was puzzled when I logged on then ..... You're all saying I'm doing awfully well when I feel like I'm doing absolute cr@p .... then I realise you'll be talking about overall - over the year AND you don't know what happened this morning .... yet. But thanks - I appreciate the comments and it did make me think again about the bigger picture
This morning was an absolute car crash - I wasn't going to list what I had but hopefully seeing it in purple & white will have some effect - I wish I knew what was going on. It feels like this is never ending and it's beginning to get me down
so here goes
At mum's I had
slice of ham
2 cherry toms
small banana
raspberry shortbread biscuit
at home
slivver of smoked mackeral
piece wholemeal with olive spread, chicken & el salad cream
dish neapolitan ice cream with raspberry sauce
2 choc chip biscs
went to take my car in for some body work - on walk back bought and ate
Nestle white choc crunch
kit kat chunkycaramel
took to bed
2 slices toast with spread & strawberry jam
Started reading Alan Carr's Easyway to lose weight. I've read it before but can't remember anything about it. I just remember it's about changing habits not dieting so thought I'd see if i can get anything out of it this time. :sigh:
Monday 22nd August ... since I got up ....
chicken salad with el salad cream
wine
Fed up xx
Edit ... LOL! Literally AND mentally (fed up that is!) x

Ah Jan you do sound down about this. It seems your overall progress is of little comfort right now.
Is it a case that you are fed up of doing two products a day? You have been doing it for so long now that it must feel so limiting that it pushes you to a blowout now and again. Or is there something that's just pushing you to comfort eating mode?
Hope you can get sorted. Maybe Alan Carr can refocus you. Xxx

Hmmmm - I really don't know Molly. I don't THINK it's the products - I find them so easy and I enjoy them. I'm not thinking I wish I could have something else. At times when I've wanted a different lunch I've had one. It's not like I feel deprived or anything.
I can't seem to just have one thing - that's a problem. I mean if I could have a biscuit and that be an end to it then no prob. I can't explain it because I don't have any conscious thoughts. I'll have a biscuit or a chocolate or something and think 'that's ok, it's only a biscuit or a chocolate - whatever' and then a while later I'm raiding the cupboard/fridge/tins/shops - I have NO conscious thoughts, well except maybe 'why am I doing this???' I never get any answers though
One thing I'm pleased about is that I feel bloated, fat and uncomfortable at the weight I am now - I haven't had to gain a couple of stone for that to happen ... if that makes ANY sense!!
I'll carry on with Alan (ooo er!!) and hope for the best xx
