Laura's bit of everything diet!

Hmmm back up to 15st13.5 this am but I think I found the culprit. I just came on my frist period in 6 months. I'm on a contraceptive that generally stops them so I don't really know how much they affect my weight.

I'm a little confused as I thought it made you put on before your period not during?

It definitely does give you a better mood and a lot more energy. I sleep better too. Have you started your diary up again? What is your starting point now?

So on thurs I got a call saying my dad had been rushed to hospital. He's been fighting cancer on and off for 4 years. My parents live over 300 miles away so after a long drive I was there that evening and only got back late last night. It was as bad as you imagine. Also in the midst of all this it was my mums birthday...

It was clear my mum didn't want me on a diet and wanted my to comfort eat with her. So my brother and I and our partners were fed so much over the past 4 days. It was easier to just get on with it than protest.

Stood on the scales this am and after tripling/quadrupling my calories I have gone up to 16st2 3/4. Not a huge surprise.

So now onto damage control... Lovely choc shake this morning. Thinking I might just have shakes for a while to try and claw it back.

I have a planned evening off on Friday which is another obsticle... hopefully I can get right back on it on the Saturday... we'll see. I have 36 days til holiday and at this rate I'm not going to do my two stone. Got to keep trying tho

Life gets in the way sometimes and this is a perfect example.

I'm sure you'll be back to where you were in no time.

Hope your dad is ok (my dad has an ongoing blood condition so I know what these scares are like) xx

so life has been pretty mean. My Dad died 2 weeks ago today. I have spent the last 8 weeks driving up and down the country, eating takeaways and junk and lots of comfort food. I have put on 13lbs which is not ideal and today is the first day I have been able to leave the house and go to the shop. So, the first step in the right direction. I have just come back with lots of fruit and veg and low fat and diet food. My plan is to eat healthily. Not very strict, just things I want to eat but things that are better for me. Cut all takeaway out and home cook everything. I don't think Im going to calorie count straight away as I need to get used to eating less and I know that right now, less than I was eating, will still be over my CC limit but I don't want to be deterred.

So I am aiming for a slow reintroduction, bringing the exercise back in and then hopefully I'll be able to refocus, going back to CC'ing or shakes in a couple weeks.

I was supposed to be going to Cuba 3 days after my Dad died but we were able to move the holiday to May so I have a new goal. Would like to undo the damage by then, I was very happy in the high 15s.
 
Oh my! I'm sooooo sorry laura. I assumed you were on your hols and didn't want to be pestering you in case you were taking a bit of time off.

The gain is completely understandable please don't worry about that and im sure it will go quickly for you.

So in 6 days I've gone down from 16st12.5 to 16st7.5. So minus 5lbs just from eating less rubbish. Been out 3 times this past week too so it is a very gentle reintroduction lol I want to keep the momentum going so I'm going to start calorie counting in the next couple of days.

Today I had an omlet and beans for brunch, humous salad and chicken for dinner and a delight yoghurt. Also went for my first run in 4 weeks. It felt pretty good! Nice to have some normality mixed in with the weirdness of the grief/mourning. Just trying to stay positive.

Ah laura that sounds like you're doing fab! Meals sound great and getting put for a run too. You're bound to feel strange at the moment but the little bits of normality will keep you going. I think you're doing right reintroducing slowly. Seriously dieting can be a bit "all-consuming" and you're not in the right place for that you need to be able to socialise etc. Glad you're doing ok xx

Oh my its a been a long time. Its been a tough road. gained a lot of weight from basically eating my grief. Got up to 17 stone 11. Cried my eyes out. Put my foot down two weeks ago. bought a fit bit. Eating well. 2 weeks later down to 17 stone. good start, just need to keep going!
 
Week 3 weigh in and another -2lbs. Can't remember if that is -12 or 13 total but still amazing. That is with eating out and drinking too. I feel like my head is in the best place ever. I want to lose weight but not miss out on life. I am making compromises but also being naughty and getting straight back on with it the next day.

Today I ate 1700 calories and that is quite a bit over my normal 1300/1400. I feel quite bad but also find it very funny how it changes so quickly. Before naughty was 2 take aways in a day lol

down to 16st 8.5 this am. all in the right direction!
 
Thank you. Its coming off slowly. I guess I'm a bit frustrated because it all piled back on so quickly and it is not come off at the same speed. Always the way I guess!

How are you getting on? Where are you at with everything? X
