Thank you. Been ill since boxing day only coming out of the other side. LOTS of med changed. Lots going on..

Last Thurs I was at my highest weight 385 lbs which is 27 stone 5lbs. My body is in PAIN.

I am trying to keep my protein up and my fiber.

I've kept to cals ( mostly) still looking at them OVER the week.

I am going to put my 1st weekly weight today. But then go from a Fri.

We are going away for the weekend. I tend to do 1 higher day it's set at sun but I just do it on sun if I know I am going out. So will see what this morning weight brings.

I've been having Brazil nuts ( 6 a day) as read they are good for depression
I do a drink with matcha and manuka honey. I try to eat a fair amount of eggs. With spinach and cottage cheese and some smoked salmon.

Am using stuff up from freezer too. I did have pizza last night. My food isn't perfect but I am TRYING to eat better.

Yesterday I had 1L water
500 mls sugar free squash
400 mls decaf coffee
330 mls diet coke

Going to try and sleep now xxxx

Not right now. They suggested tier 3 but they aren't taking anyone else on.

I am asking to go back to slimming world. But because of an active eating disorder I need Dr's ok. I've got an appointment end of Feb. I must admit I still plan on cc.

Was 375.9 today so 9lbs off in 8 days so not bad. I've been counting even though I went off 1 day. Xxxx

So today has been exhausting even though didn't do much. Unfortunately nightmare kept me up last night. Didn't sleep till 6am ish.

Weight was 387

Food/drink its looked like

1L coffee- 2 decaf
1L water
350 mls warm ribena
300 mls semi skimmed latte at cat cafe
200 mls flavoured fizzy water

1 x Small wholemeal toast
Marmite

Hazelnut blue riben with my latte at cat cafe, then half a BIG rocky road

3 free range eggs
104g cottage cheese
Aldi beans and sausage
Cue kishimi tesco salad

Lidi protein desert 100 cals


Aldi Greek yog with honey
Bite of sons brownie before his shower
1 oreo small egg
2 Hazelnut blue ribbon
6 Brazil nuts

So know as these some of these are estimated it's not perfect. BUT I am proud I kept going. I could of so given up at cat cafe. Mocha was calling my name... I said NO there WILL be another day WHERE I can have a skinny one ( they only do semi skimmed milk) at Costa or our local cafe.

So
Cals 2610
Protein 119g
Fiber 26.3g

Fitbit ( know again not accurate- it's more for managing my chronic fatigue and ME. Plus bulging disc) 317 cals deficit.

My aim is to zigzag my cals at mo I just have tom as my easier day.

Roast lamb tom

Lamb
Roast pots- made with pots plus fry light
Stuffing balls
Cauliflower- fresh
Honey roasted pasnips- frozen
Peas- frozen
Carrots- fresh
Yorkshires- frozen
Gravy

That will be main meal. Have my carer coming to help me tom with some bits. I am greatful. Had to take max painkillers. I am still in green on nutracheck on cals so I will take that as a win. I know before I've lost better when
1) eating my cals given
2) upping my protein
3) upping my Fiber
4) walking- today was 2010 steps for me that's a fair amount I WANT to do more but right now can't. But in covid I lost just over 5 stone by doing the above. Plus walking 5- 6000 steps 2- 3 x per week and a longer walk 8000 on a sun.
5) liquids. Drinking even with sugar free squash
