MinkyDinkys SW Success Diary!!

[MinkyDinky]

Oh no minks.....sorry to hear you feel like that today!!! I hate people who can eat what they want and don't put a single pound on! And how frustrating that your OH is one of them! Just think though, if you didn't plan anything and ate what you wanted instead you wouldn't be where you are today!!! You have done amazingly well so far!!! You're certainly an inspiration, to me anyway!!!! Keep at it mrs!!!

And your hair is bloomin amazing!!! Wit woo!! Sexy lady

I completely get what your saying above, I just want to get to target too, I seem to be able to maintain pretty well (managed it last year even when trying to lose) but am sick of saying no every time anybody asks me to do anything! Gah!

You are doing so well and your almost there, I'm sure when you have visited the toilet again things will sort themselves out on the scales.

Your hair looks great!!

X

Love the hair! I'm totally feeling your pain with the scles and I don't even have the toilet thing as an excuse Hope your back in the swing of things soon xx

Thanks girlies, I'm just having a bit of a bleugh moment. Where I don't feel happy with... well, anything at the moment. I'll snap out of it soon, promise! Its the fact that I have been super bloody good this week and I feel like it was for nothing? Its like I want to say ahhhh fook it and eat what I want for a couple of days. But then I know that I will gain and that won't be good. How can it be that the boy eats anything and everything yet never moves away from being bang on 9 n half stone?! Seriously?! Pah. Think I am going to have to join a gym or something, help this weight loss along. Because I have a feeling that its totally going to slow down and P*ss me off even more. Who knows. Ignore me, I'm feeling pitiful for no reason. :sigh: xxx

Lunch - leftover soup 2 syns



had a pink n White for 2.5 syns. Galaxy caramel egg for 3 syns. 7.5 total so far.

EDIT - another pink and White... 10.

There is a big sponge cake with icing in the kitchen. I want a fat slab of it. Along with a bloody kebab and chilli sauce!! Maybe that'll help me 'go'?!

Hey Minky. I'm sorry to hear you're feeling frustrated, fed up and other Eff words.

Sneaky Peeks - Oh they can be the Work Of The Devil. I'm a plodder weight loss wise, I've been doing SW since October and I haven't even got my stone award yet, I did a SP on Friday and saw that I'd lost a pound, I Sneaky Peeked again this morning and that pound has firmly attached itself back onto my hips. I had a STS last week despite being 100% all week so I know how you feel....BUT! Just wait until your proper WI, I bet that you'll have a loss.

I think it's really hard to come to terms with the limitations that are placed on us foodwise, and you're doing so, so well. Could you have a chicken kebab, no pitta and chilli sauce tonight? I don't think that would be too bad synwise.

 

[MinkyDinky]

I've kinda said screw it tonight and I'm getting a curry.

Nothing majorly bad!! Going to get chicken dhansak, onion rice, make up a side salad to go with and have some bread and butter instead of a naan.

Could be worse in syns, could be better but I just need to have it.

 

[SallyVater]

:drool:

Enjoy it. *stomach rumble*

 

[xJoanneJJx]

Enjoy minks!


*im so not jealous* * I'm so not jealous*

Feeling a little deflated this morning.

Confession!! Hi my names Donna and I'm a serial weigher

Now normally, what the scales say at home over the week don't bother me. I like just jumping on and off and seeing them head down over the week.

But this morning, despite all my hard effing work, upping my superfree, drinking lots of water (me and the toilet are BFF's now), I'm only 1 lb down??

Granted, I haven't really 'been' to the toilet for oooh, today is day 6, but even that's proving a mystery. So maybe that's having an effect on the scales but jeez, I've been a frigging ANGEL all week, ensuring I count, weigh and measure everything to the nearest g or ml and yet a measly pound?!

What's even more frustrating is that The Boy can sit there, eat a whole pizza in one sitting, drink beer, scoff chocolate and crisps, on top of the food I give him (which he always adds extra butter or cheese or sauces too) and still not put on any weight. Where as I meticulously have to watch every morsel that passes my lips just to get a loss... It's kinda depressing tbh.

I know I'm usually super positive and focussed on getting to target (which I still am!) but just having a morning where you think oh FFS, I just want to have a kebab and not have to worry, or yep, I'll have an Indian takeaway and have onion rice rather than plain boiled.

EVERY BLOODY MEAL AND EVERY BLOODY DAY HAS TO BE BLOODY PLANNED!!! grrrrr!

I just want to be at target! I just want to be thin! I want to be able to not constantly think about food and what I can or can't have. I just...oh I don't know.

Just having one of them mornings. Can ya tell?

Know exactly how you feel him and even though you think 1lb isn't much at least it's a lb in the right direction. You're looking great and just think of all the weight you've lost, you'll be at target in no time!
Chin up xx

 

[missemma]

So my autocorrect decided it would be better to say 'I know how you feel him' instead of 'I know how you feel hun'. Bloody autocorrect

Minkx I am sorry you are down in the dumps. You have lost an amazing amount of weight and has always been an inspiration to everyone else. Not going is making you frustrated. Also perhaps you shoud go out and eat that kebab and not be too strict with yourself for a few days. It will do you a world of good. You do not need to lose every week and the target can come gradually - well that is my attitude. Looking at your latest picture you look so slim - you could just aim to maintain for a couple of weeks and then be a bit more strict to lose again.

I know it is frustrating seeing your boyfriend eat everything and not gaining. Well we are all built differently and our weight has so many factors involved e.g genes, family history, eating habits, hormones,.......

Back in November I STS for 3 weeks despite being 100% on plan. Then I went out for a couple of good meals and decent portions (funnily enough one of them was a kebab with white pitta, salad with olive oil) and then I started losing again. Do not forget that our body gets used to the food we eat and from time to time need a nodge to wake up and start working.

You mentioned exercise, you are already walking to work and playing badminton - so getting a reasonable amount. What I find with exercise is you have to continue and if stopped our body goes back to its previous shape or even wonkier (in my case).

Chin up, treat yourself for a couple of meals and things start moving in all directions.

Big big hug.

Agree with rosielee - a proper curry will probably give your system a good kick, as it will mentally too - get it down you

 

[Nellylou]

Def enjoy your curry will help speed things up im sure x

 

[MinkyDinky]

Thank you so so much girls, it means a lot. Everything you said Rosie makes so much sense, and I think maybe you're right. I just don't like not losing and feel like I 'have' to because a lot of people in group look to me to lose all the time. Make sense?? maybe I need to stop putting so much pressure on myself.

So I had the curry last night, and boy it was good. I had the whole portion of onion rice and chicken dhansak, half a portion of cauliflower bhaji and a slice of bread and butter. Then the other portion of rice pudding.





And as yet, no bowel movements. Officially on day 7

I'm going to be on plan all week apart from Saturday. I'm going out with my best friend and have a few drinks. I need cheering up to be honest. I think I suffer with S.A.D. A bit, and January is such a depressing month for me that trying to keep upbeat gets tiring (would have been my granddads birthday on 20th but he passed away on my dads birthday and my dad passed away on 13th Jan few years back so it's a month of pretty sad reminders).

I'm not expecting a loss tonight now whatsoever but hey ho, there is always next week right? Xxx

Hey hun

Someone else was having similar problems with not going to the loo and they had hot drinks and oranges which did the job- maybe worth a shot

Hugs x

Hey sweetie, thank you I'm going to give hot drinks a try (have peppermint and lemon & ginger at work) so fingers crossed. I don't like oranges.... But maybe having one or two won't hurt? Just feel so bloated, full of sh*t, and it's making me lethargic.

Fingers crossed?! Xx

Fingers crossed indeed. I hope it works other liquorice? Senna? Keep up lots of hot liquids... Maybe hot water bottle on your tummy. I feel for you I really do
