My journey. Onwards and upwards CD > SW

That's brilliant!
Resolving to still have a social life sounds like a good decision, so you won't feel deprived and can also pick up the lovely compliments that come your way!
It's funny about weight loss on the face isn't it? I was told for the first couple of weeks people could see it in my face- in fact a few said nearly the same thing in the same way. They'd say "really see it in your face" and point at their own face to round their nose and mouth- which was odd- I must have been developing pouches there before without noticing!
 
1 stone down!

wooooooooooohoooooooooooooo CDC just been and I lost another 4 lbs, that's 1 stone in 2 weeks! I'm so happy :D :D :D On top of that she has left 2 weeks supplies of bars yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay It has to be wrong to be so excited about bars but I am! :D

The past week has not been easy. Many ups and downs and days where I have thought I can't do this, but I haven't fallen off the wagon just yet! ;)

This is how I'm gonna be doing things.. in the mornings I will have a hot chocolate (made with tetra plus warm water made in frothie maker). For lunch soup (at beginning didn't think Id want this but turns out I enjoy them for lunch) and in the evenings a bar and a coke or dr peper zero (now I know some people don't have these but I have had 1 can a day since the start and seem to be doing ok). Seems with this routine the diet will be even easier as some days I haven't been able to face the shakes, really really not wanted them. This way I get a nice variety. Also sometimes I put the chocolate tetra in the frezzer and have it as ice cream, yum yum is all I can say! :D

Anyways got to rush to see a foster carer, so pleased I decided to give this diet a fair go!

Wishing you all a fab week!
Love and hugs, Gemma xx

thanks soooo much for the kind words - they really really help :D I am still feeling really great. Had a wonderful day with partner telling me how proud he is of me :D :D I'm a chesire cat.

Also had half a toffee bar and half a hot choc with tetra pack for lunch and dinner, yum yum so satisfying and seems to be the way I'm going to go.

mini - thanks, your comments always make me feel good

abstruse - you can do it, but it is hard. Hang in there, just wait for the 2 week mark! :D

kazz - you always write such good diaries and I love reading it, thanks for posting here

it's always so nice to get responses :D ty all, you've added to my happy feelings.

quick update.. Day 16 and feeling great! I hada bite of the peanut bar at lunchtime and yummy! Will be looking forward to the rest of that tonight. Have to say I'm in a good place right now, feeling happy that the bars are now options for me as it's given me variety and what I needed I think. Going to germany this week to stay with partner's father, really nervous about what to say when he asks to take us out for dinner.. any suggestions?

anyways must dash to work.
Have a great day TTFN

day 17 - this diet seems to be getting easier! I have spent many nights watching OH eating and dreaming of eating to, now he eats and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. My main worries are gonig to Germany this weekend, still so nervous about it and what I am going to tell everyone why I'm not eating. Oh well, it's just one of many tests to get through while on this crazy diet.

Hope you all have a great, sliming day!
love and hugs Gemma x
 
thats a tough one Gemma, and i suppose theres two ways to go - either be blatantly honest, thats what i have been doing, i just say i am on my last ever diet, i HAVE to lose weight so PLEASE dont tempt me or jeopardise what i have already lost - i apologise if it seems rude or offensive to refuse dinner - but just say its what the Dr ordered me to do ( ok that bits a lie lol )

or you could just tell a fibbywibby and say youre not feeling great?

perhaps you could get your OH to call his dad in advance and warn him?
 
thanks for the advice slushy - I think I'm just going to play it by here and see how things go.

Well I have such a busy week ahead of me and so much socialising that I'm really dreading it, this diet really does mess with your head and I'm feeling so down today. I don't like feeling this way as normally I'm a happy, possitive person.

Just need to get through today..
 
Today I had this overwhelming urge to eat, it was so horrid. I have managed to get through it and sit here with my chicken and mushroom soup but I feel quite fed up.
Leaving for Germany at 3am, then returning Sunday. Monday going away for a friends surprize 40th and coming home friday. Friday have another couple coming to stay for 3 days. I'm gonna need a holiday from my holiday!

Well I have decided that I will eat next weekend when we got out for dinner, however I will only have a salad. My aim is to not eat in Germany and maybe have a salad or 2 the week I' away. I have discussed this with my CDC and she supports it if I feel I can control it. After all it was meant to be AAMW then anyway.

Hope you all have a lovely week... speak to you when I'm home.
 
so today OH and I were due to fly to Germany at 6.40am. However the alarm didn't go off/was turned off/whatever and we woke at 6am meaning we missed our flight. There were no more flights avaliable until monday and monday we are going away for a week with another couple. In one way I was relived as I didn't want to explianed to his family why I wasn't eating. But was also gutted for OH, he was so down it was horrid.

On diet side of things, today has been realatively easily, got through it with no real problems other than cooking OH dinner and really really wanting a bite of his chicken hehe.

Well anyways, off to bed now. Hope your Friday 13th wasn't as bad as mine. x
 
oh Gemma i am so sorry
but you know what? i am a firm believer in fate and am sure things like that happen for a reason.
There is sure to be a next time and then you can go and see his dad when youre at target and can eat a meal with them without feeling any need to explain.

have a fab week away if i dont see you on here before

Hi Gemma,

I hope today is going better for you and sometimes these thing work out for the best.

Love Mini xxx
 
Thanks a lot mini and slushy - I really do apprecaite the comments, it makes me feel someone is reading :D

Anyway day 22 and wigh in day! Lost another 4 lbs, so happy with that. The real test starts today. I'm going to be adding a meal for 2 or 3 days this week as we are away with friends and I feel the need to do that. I think and hope it will all be fine. My real struggle has been around drinks - i drink 8 bottles of 500mls every day without fail. But I'm so sick of it. I also have a can or coke zero or dr pepper zero as a treat, but I miss tea. Black tea is horrid and I can't bring myself to drink it. My CDC suggested camomile or pepermint tea so before we leave today I will go and buy some to take and try.

Anyways wishing you all a wonderful week - I'll miss not being able to log on and see how you are all doing. See you friday.
 
so day 29 is here. I am back from a week away doing various things. I did add a meal week this week and found it to be great. Really enjoyed the little food I could have and never wanted or needed more. Hoping my weight loss today will be ok, although it is TOTM so we'll see.

I'm feeling kind of strange today, not sure why. Maybe knowing I can't eat again and trying to fix that in my mind, I'm not really sure. Maybe I have a down feeling as it's back to work and the stress that comes with that after having such a lovely week off.

Anyways, must dash, can't be late first day back! Have a great day all.

Oh!! Saturday found out my sister is pregnant, sooooooo sooooooo happy! :D
 
well 4th weigh in and I lost 2lbs. I'm a little disappointed but being that i had a meal each day and it TOTM I guess it's ok.
Back to 100% ssing this week. Can't say I'm looking forward to it, but I've got to knukle down and get back into it. I still really enjoy my bars and look forward to them each day. Also got a new flavor of soup to try toinght, oriental, I'll let you know what it's like later! :D
 
ooh i love the orientalchili soup -in fact its the only one i can stomach at the moment - i als fond i HAVE to split it into two - for some reason i find it much more filling than the others and cant get a whole one down

i hope you like it

glad you had a good week away Gemma, and i think 2lbs after a week away adding a few meals is a fab loss - well done.
