ooooooo you answered me while I nodded... thanks sonya!
I'm that shattered at the moment with early starts, extra hours as holiday cover, and hospital visiting.... I nod off too easy on my lovely comfy sofa!
Right... I want to learn to eat intuitively... the idea being to eventually live free from diets and excess weight..... by learning to eat anything I want, but only when I'm hungry... to savour every mouthfull.... eat slowly with full concentration.... and stop when satisfied or full...
First step is to learn what my hunger signals are. I've had a couple of tries at this, but not completed a full day yet.

welcome sammy and lesley! this lil (big) group is helping me loads so i hope it will do the same for you xxxx
so...my day...i have been 100% good tho i have been tempted. i have this stupid idea that if i buy lowfat crisps then its not really cheating! the thing with me tho...if i do it once, i'll do it daily and then twice daily lol. the whole idea i want to be so strict is so that my craving for savory rubbish (especially crisps) will decrease more and more the longer i go without them. So!! i picked up a packet of low fat crisps in the co-op...thought about what i really want, decided crisps aint gonna get me there and i put them back. yay!!
instead i focused on waiting for my grilled steak and veggies. i made brown rice for everyone else but didnt even have so much as a spoonful for myself so ive had a great day.
protein target of 97g reached! (i had 98.7grams) and calorie intake was 823 (i missed a shake). had all my vitamins and 2.5 litres of water and my protein drink.
a perfect dieting day and i feel great! now am awarding myself my 2nd star on the way to my spinny. yippeeee!
hope u lovely people have had a good day and if u havent, im sure we can make sure tomorrow is 100% fab.

As it's been 2 days on the trot whereI have missed one today will be a 790 plan to try and catch up so Iv got some grilled chicken slices and lettuce from m&s with me for my 'lunch'. I am soooo proud of myself for sticking to it and as today is day 5 Im even more happy yay!
Oh and as well as being fantastic on the diet I went to the gym AGAIN this morning so thats 4 times so far this week...size 10 here I come Only a stone or so to go
Hope you are all ok, weather here is miserable today so Im not too happy as I have to go into town at lunch time to have a sight test and a contact lense appointment and I was going to walk in for some more exercise but Im not trecking in the rain!

Welcome Sammy and I hope you feel good after your early night ad it is good to have you with us
I need to learn to NOT diet, but to eat intuitively. To allow my stomach to control my food intake. I'm struggling to keep track of how I'm doing... can I join in here?
Hi Lesley,
Your very welcome and I also hope one day to have control of my food.
In my case my eye is bigger than my belly

SEZ AND SAMMY, i have just read both ur other threads and see how close u r both to wanting to stop. we really really do whatever we can to help as thats what minis is all about. personally i jumped ship from CD as it just wasnt for me. dont get me wrong, not trying to turn u away from SSing, im just saying...u can lose this weight and if u really want to, u will lose it but if it gets so bad that u dont wanna SS anymore...consider changing as that would be better than stopping and just aimlessly going back to eating the way u were. im sure u can pm anyome on here if u want some extra help or support. uve both done incredibly well til now and i hope we can all get thru diet hell together lol.

Hi shrm,
It is good you feel you have not gone all the way as usual and I think it is important to pat yourself on the back when you do see you had some control.
atback:Bit by bit you can take back your control. You can do it, you have shown already you can.

Hi Nathalie,
Gold Stars and this thread it is 9 days done, this is the tenth day.
Diet wise I have sixteen days done on CD 790 plan and it is going very well, this thread is really helping me to stay focused
I also think this plan is helping me to be more in control around food as I was in the same cyle of on and off and over eating...:cry:
I dream of being a size 10, but to tell the truth if I wear a size 14 I would be over the moon.
I think my goals were first set too far away and out of reach, now I have become much more realistic...but I still dream of size 10

i think its important that we dont set ourselves up for a fall and it makes achieving what we want far more likely. not to say that aiming lower is the way to go...but instead to achieve it all in bite-size chunks errr...i think im trying to say "one day at a time". lol
one of my problems is that i have always aimed for gold and nothing less is acceptable...so when i fall on my butt, i feel like a failure and go back to what i know...even if it makes me unhappy and takes me much further away from what i truely want. SO! although im racing to lose 9 stone all in one go, according to my ticker and race with sonkie....i also have it firmly in my head that i am taking this one day at a time (which is where this thread is so incredibly helpful) and aim for half a stone at a time. this is making ALL the difference to my frame of mind and my positive attitude to really achieving what i want this time.
gosh im getting a bit "deep" for a thursday morning!
heres to a successful day to all us angels!
