Onwards. Feeling a little bit better... the walking alongside the wagon seems to help. Scales were back down to where my ticker is today... more than I deserve, but so grateful for that.
In practical terms, 'walking alongside' is this:
I think of myself as doing 810... shakes, occasional bar, protein meal. In reality, since my last wobble I have been adding to this. Sometimes just tomatoes or celery. Sometimes a fat-free yoghurt, or half a banana. Once a multigrain roll & butter.
So... to be honest, I think I may as well say I am doing 1000. It feels better to allow myself those extras than to see them as a blip and let that mindset lead me to 'blowing it' all on carb-rish, sugary foods, or the choc binges of last week.
This feels safer, happier.
It's a little leeway, but for good foods.
If I can stick with this for just one week I will feel so much better... and may be able to look back and see last weeks bad days as just a wobble. A big wobble... but still.
Hope everyone else is good today.

Katy, your plan sounds good.
I'd been getting bored with 810, l was also feeling a bit dizzy, so in the last couple of days l've included some fruit and today for lunch had tomato soup and a wholemeal roll and l do feel better.

Dis, that's great... stepping up slowly is the way, and I am sure you will still lose. For me, adding a few carbs in and not having to see it as a cheat has made all the difference. I just feel so much better than this time last week... phew. Thanks for you support hun, it was & is appreciated, and glad you are feeling better too.

Hi all...
Still feeling OK. Had a bit of an 'oatcake & peanut butter' moment half an hour ago, convinced myself it would be Ok to have just one, as am about to go out & drive thru heavy snow for an hour & a half to get to a work presentation... not sure why THAT was a good reason, but still. Went to cupboard & the oatcake fairy had been before me, leaving just a few broken crumbs. Lol! My son loves his peanut butter as much as I do!
Anyway, that helped... thought vaguely about toast and peanut butter, but dismissed it.
Off to get ready now, will take a bar with me for lunch and have a skinny latte if one can be found at my destination.
Scales still say ticker weight, which makes me happy. I can do this. And stressy snow-drive does not equal permission to eat peanut butter!
Hope everyone has a good day, big hugs.

Who needs oakcakes or toast? I just go in with a spoon.
I second that Bess. I don't actually like peanut butter on toast / crackers, but love it on its own. My favourite is the Whole Earth crunchy peanut butter, on a spoon and frozen - YUM!Well done on not going for the toast Katy!
Hope the drive won't be too bad and good luck with your presentation!
