Well as you've all probably noticed I've been a bit AWOL!
(I have had some sad family stuff goin on too)
I've been mentally trying to decided what's left of this journey for me how I'm going to do it what will make me happy etc etc!
I was contemplating calling target and settling for where I am bc the scales seem determined not to move and I was getting fed up of the emotional yoyo I was on!
I had begun to let little things slip in as you do and it wasn't making a difference the scales were maintaining!
I was thrilled I was wearing nice clothes is normal sizes a 12-14 top as a 14-16 bottom! The exercise had lacked but I was still shrinking!
Then totm hit and I went up a dress size! That's right and entire size it's disgusting I know it's totm bloating bc the scales have only moved a lb. but I feel fat again I feel disgusting again and I want to be smaller!!
So I am actually thankful I feel this way bc I've realised I'm happy where I am for the time being but it's not where my goals lie! And tbh the number on the scales I've realised aren't what I strive for its the clothes size - I'm young and I want to dress with the current fashions and wear nice clothes !!
So I've had a word with myself and I'm starting whilst I feel fat and horrible! I'm commencing on a 1200 calorie day today. I may increase tomorrow as its Marcus birthday but it'll straight back down the day after until wi! Then ill increase it back up I'm think 1390 to begin with (mfp reckons 1470 for 1.5lb loss but if I am for 1390 and go slightly over it's not the end of the world that way!)
And I'm not sure ill run today as I'm having a horrendous totm but I have ordered some winter running gear so I have no excuse!
I've realised I'm not happy where I am - I'm happier much happier but not completely there yet and the only way to get there is to strap
Myself back in the wagon! - I may need restraining though! Xxxx

Had wondered where you had disappeared off too.
Hope your ok, sorry to hear about your sad family stuff.
We are here, well I am anyway - pluging on and learning what suiting me eating wise. I'm really liking the lack of high GI carbs and enjoyed finding out about mark Sisson - the primal blueprint - am thinking it prob the way forward for me

welcome back, sorry to hear your having family problems, hope your ok. :bighug: big hug for you.
You are sounding very positive and know what your doing now so i am sure you will get to where you want to be. I agree about clothes size vs weight on scales, alot of people say you should go by clothes size, you will know when your there.

Well I've downloaded "the skinny rules" on my iPhone iBooks so I'm hoping that'll motivate me too!!
I'm gonna go for a run tomorrow! We ended up putting furniture together today instead which is good for my home but not my burn lol!!
I just need to refocus my mind that's what's letting me down ATM! I suppose it's bc I've been so content recently which is great but not really doing much for the diet lol!!
I'm hoping I'm more focused for this week! Wish me luck! X

I liked the skinny rules was a good read and really like some of the rules!

Some of the rules make sense - drink a glass of water before each meal minimum, going to bed hungry etc!
I've not finished reading all of them - its more rustic eating - natural cave man style eating! But it's worth a read I guess lol!!
I just needed the time away I think time to be happy with who I am and what I've become now I'm ready to continue on my way!

That's a good way to put it
May the journey continue! With u more comfortable with who you have become, you wonder if butterflies have the same trouble when they 1st hatch! From being a fat furry caterpillar

Mmm just read that .. I will clear that up! I'm not saying that any one was furry and fat . Just that we are all butterflies waiting to emerge

Glad to see you back, and sorry about the sad family stuff going on. You are doing amazing, and will reach goal. Going by clothes size instead of the scales is def good. RawrGirl was forced into that (Prince Charming hid the scales), but now she loves not having it! Instead of jumping on it in the morning to see if it tells her she is fat now she has to look in the mirror or see how her clothes fit. It's much more motivational and keeps her head in a good place.

I'm a tad achey today! Which is a good sign! But I've not managed to go today - valuable reason though - I've had a facial instead hahaha! Much more pleasant especially before a night shift!
I'm planned out food wise! I just hope my nights don't ruin my mentality or focus! I'm down 1.5lbs from yesterday I'm hoping once I've got rid of all the crap I ate over the weekend ill be even lighter! And ill aim to go to the gym again Friday - bc there's no way ill go between nights it just won't happen!!
I've ordered an actifry online too! Half price ATM! (The large one - which was cheaper than the smaller one!) so I'm hoping it'll be wonderful post long shifts - put some chips on comfort food no hassle and can cook whilst I'm in the shower here's hoping anyway!!
I'm aiming for 1200 this week until Friday - fingers crossed no official wi this week as ill be sleeping post nights! x
