Xmas day - I'm stuffed !
Well I decided not to break the diet over Xmas but did want a special day so decided to make a choccy LL shake with mix a mousse so I got a pudding like everyone else and treat myself to a bottle of Coke Zero which won't bring me out of ketosis.
I had a mushroom soup and then found that the mousse was perfect in the fridge. Was pleased as it was my first attempt
. I started to eat it and it was yummy but having had the soup and quarter a glass of Coke Zero I couldn't manage more than half. So It's back int he fridge for later. What a goody two shoes eh ?
Actually i am delighted to feel so stuffed as I really really won't be tempted by any food today. Ketosis is a brilliant mechanism isn't it ?
Hope everyone else is having a fab day whether you have decided to eat or not.

Fantastic Melissa... in hindsight I wish I had stuck to SS today!! Read my diary for all the gory details.. but I ate half a roast dinner (okay as I had planned to in advance), a dessertspoon of xmas pud with a teaspoon of whipped cream (also okay coz planned), glass of champagne..............
...
But then I got home, decided to drink the half bottle of champagne that my sis had bought me... my head told me it was better to get it drank today whilst I had messed up my ketosis rather than wait for the diet to end (of course I should have realised that this was wrong.. since I have NEVER listened to this voice before)... anyway it gets worse
With the champagne... I told myself it was okay to eat the six biscuits that I have had in the cupboard since the diet began!!!!!!!!!! 10 damn weeks them biscuits have sat there and I haven't given them a second thought.. and now they have gone!!!!!!
I am disappointed with myself .. but I also see that something positive has to come out of this and not only do I need to be back on track tomorrow - which I will be .... But I also clearly have some food issues to deal with before the diet ends

Well done Mel on being a "goody 2 shoes", you'll be so pleased with yourself when you have your next weigh-in. I'm really happy for you, you are proving that you are definitely going to do it!!

Thanks everyone ! Kirstin - we all do mad things after a drink. Champagne goes straight to my head, so its not suprising that you went for the biccies. Just an alcohol induced min-binge. You won't go back there !
Boxing day was more difficult than Xmas day as I was with all 3 step sons so there was much more food and drink about. I still didn't give in though ! In fact the opposite as I hadn't seen 2 of them for months and they were full of compliments and I was just so damn pleased to be 4 stone+ lighter than last Xmas.
However, this is how I got by - sniffing everthing ! Had a lingering sniff of the Xmas pud, toblerones, prawns, cake etc. And it worked ! Having got the smell firmly in my system it kinda felt like I had eaten the food so then it held no magic for me. However I can't stop really sniffing, and I mean REALLY inhaling lungfulls of yummy stuff. I suppose its harmless though

lol melissa... I admire u for ur ability to sniff... I can stand any number of people eating in the same room as me..... the smell of the food gets to me though! Sometimes I don't notice it.. other times I feel I may drown in a pool of drool.. lol TMI maybe!!!!!
Thats it now.. xmas is over, normality is resumed and you can give urself a huge pat on the back for not straying!

LOL, thats funny, you sniffing food. At least there are no calories in sniffing - well I think so anyway, the bisto kids were skinny anyway ;-)

Thanks Kirstin, I am really looking forward to it.
I didn't have an LL class on Wednesday so I weighed myself on my scales which usually agree with my LLc's and I had lost another 2kg. Very pleased about that for Xmas week ! I change weigh in day to Tuesday next week when I join the development group so I will know the truth then but I am optimistic !
I can't tell you how good it feels to be able to go into normal shops like Next for the sales and get loads of cheap bargains ! Ok so still buying 18/20's and a few 16's for some motivation but hey, last Xmas I was in 28/30's !
Out of habit I went into Evans and didn't need or want a thing in there ! It felt good to walk out of there with nothing as I would normally be scrabbling around for any bargain in there. And to be honest their sale was not cheap at all.
Coke Zero is fab ! It was my only Xmas "cheat" but I am in ketosis for sure as I am just not hungry. Coke Zero tastes like real coke to me unlike diet coke which I have drunk for years.
Anyway, must get off this site and go pack for the morning !
Happy New Year anyone reading !

Got weighed in tonight and am so glad that I abstained for Xmas and New Year as I have lost just under 7 pounds in the last 2 weeks! Am really pleased about that because with all the awful weather I haven't done any of the walks and things that I had planned.
Being in Cornwall for New Year was great but it was hard resisting all the food. I did carry on having Coke Zero and it must be fine because the keto sick was lovely and pink tonight at the weigh in.
So just a house move to cope with on Monday ! Should be a breeze after not eating over Xmas and New Year
