My journey to slim and happy...

Just popping in to say hello and well done on loss so far x
 
Grrrrrrrr!!!!! What a horrible day!!!
I've had the worst vilest customer in today. Aggressive disgusting man...
It got me a little shaken up to be honest.
Working in retail can be so tough sometimes.

Diet wise. I've been quite hungry today. I don't know why I keep feeling that. I don't remember being this hungry on LL. Maybe because back then we were told to drink 4 litres of water a day whereas now I drink around 2.5-3l.
Also I feel quite bloated today. I think those zero noodles don't agree with me. I've had them for lunch today.

Other than that I'm feeling pretty crap today. Maybe because I've had some news that knocked me for six.
I've found out today someone from my past had got back with his ex.
I've been in love with this guy for years now and I know he's got feelings for me too. Nothing ever happened between us because of the distance (he lives in Texas) and back when he was single I was involved with someone else.
We've been back in touch for good few months now and all this time he failed to tell me him and his ex have got back together.
In theory I shouldn't care but he told me many times he's not sure if she's the one and he doesn't think he can be happy with her.
And now he tells me they're giving it another go...
I guess it wasn't meant to be after all..

Hope everyone is having a good weekend :(
 
:( Sorry to hear you've had such a bad day! Where is it you work? What was soo vile about him? I suggest a nice warm bubble bath to just sooth away the stress and relax.

Problem with ketosis is that it doesn't guarantee no hunger, some people feel it sometimes, some people feel it most of the time! Try upping your water?
 
Oh Hun not worth talking about it. He demanded a refund on something he didn't have a proof of purchase of.
He was very aggressive and extremely rude. Anyway.
Should be used to it by now.

I might have a bath actually or just have an early night. Not in a good mood today at all... :(

Tomorrow is another day though :)

His issues are not your issues. Don't take them on board and give him power to upset you.
Have a better day tomorrow.

I hear you about working in retail... I worked as a charity shop manager for over a year - and OH MY WORD was it tough. People are extra rude because it's a charity shop. You're automatically "lower" than any other shop assistant, they feel like they'e entitled to more because they're shopping with you. I can't tell you the amount of rude and obnoxious people I've had to deal with... people stealing, people abusing each other (who I had to tell to leave the shop), people trying to cheat or scam me and just ... UGH. PLUS the absolute NUTTERS who were stripping naked in the middle of the shoP??!?!
I do get it that on some days it's harder to take that sort of abuse so I'm sending my hugs :hug99:. It's tough, but a lot of the time these people just want to take their life frustrations out somewhere and it happens to be an innocent shop assistant. *sigh*

You're having a hungry period.. I had that in my weeks 3-4, your body is basically saying "Oi!! I've played nicely for a little while, but enough is enough, gimme back my food!!" ... The hunger will go, I'm on week 14 now and I do not feel the hunger howl anymore... it's gone. Stick with it. You don't have long to go, I know you'll get through.

As for the guy... I'm sorry... logically he's in Texas and it may have required for one of you to make a life changing decision - and even then, long-distance relationships are really tough until that happens. But the heart is fickle and unpredictable... The best I can suggest is taking a step back and let the distance grow between you and him - even if it hurts so much... it's not worth heart-ache over and over, yearning... :( Sometimes, letting go is the more healthy thing long-term even if it is the hardest thing to do.

Oh I know Hun. Normally weirdos or rude people don't phase me but I was a little fragile so it affected me slightly more than it should.

About the guy. Well... It's all not quite as straight forward as it seems.
He broke up with his ex about six months ago claiming she doesn't make him happy and that he's still in love with me (she used to live in Germany then and he was in Texas).
We've been talking with each other every day for the past 3 years. He was there for me when I had my miscarriage and my relationship broke down. I was there for him when he decided to break up with her.
So after that we've spoken about meeting up and giving it another go with us. He was going to come down to London in the summer to see me. He's moving back here next year anyway.
Which is why it hit me so hard yesterday when he nonchalantly told me that he's gone back with her AND that she's moving to Texas to live with him.
I did not see this coming at all as he is one of the most genuine kind hearted people I know. I did not expect him to be this dishonest with me.
Oh well... I should be used to this by now. Heartache is and has been a permanent feature in my life for a number of years now...
Not gonna start feeling sorry for myself now, I'll get over that as well but I'm not going to lie it did hurt me.
And yes. A clean cut has been made. I've told him not contact me ever again wishing him all the best of luck in his relationship. It's time to let go.

Off to church now. I hope everyone has a good day :)
 
Whoa... sounds like a soap opera... I think the other girl is highly persuasive... I've had this with a guy before, he was such a sweetheart, a nice genuine person, but wasn't all too sure what he wanted. This other girl was so DOMINATING she TOLD him what he wanted and he was just taken with that. It's not so much that he wanted to be dishonest or anything, just he was quite highly manipulated by another. Maybe that is the case here, she wants both the guy AND wants to move to US. .... unfortunately there's nothing you can do with such leeches... you did the right thing to let go, or you'd be in a permanent relationship with her and him at the same time as those sorts of people don't get told 'no' very easily.

Have a lovely day, keep busy... with time the heart will heal. :hug99:

Hugs from here. Domineering people are not always the happiest, I should know as my husband has been one for 18 years! They can't believe it when someone else has an opinion or wants to do something different from them!

Ho hum, best to let go and see if he wises up.
 
What a damn day..
The guy that went on me turned up in another store threatening their staff and acting like a p***k. The security had to escort him out of the store.
He's now banned from entering any of our stores but I've got a funny feeling this is not the end of it.
I'm actually quite scared now because we have no security guard in our shop so if he turns up again we have no way of protecting ourselves.
Lets just hope he got the message.

Thank God for best friends though. She took me out to a comedy club after work. A bit of a laugh is just what I needed :)

Diet wise all is well. Not hungry at all today which is good. I look forward to the weigh in on weds.

Hope everyone had a great day :)
 
Don't do it!! (I know you're stronger than that!! ;) Your weigh in is tomorrow - you don't want to muck it up, do you?

Bread is a weak point for me too, but it gets easier... it's SUCH a major comfort food... I've had to force myself to find other coping techniques as a loaf of bread isn't going to solve my problems for me... :(

A while ago I was writing a very difficult essay and I got such a craving for muffins and cookies... and I sat there... thinking... and realised... "A cookie isn't going to write my essay for me!!" ... and just put my head down and kept writing... but that thought really helped, made me stop thinking about food so much...

I don't know if this will help.. but hope it does in some small way... do you know what triggered the craving? Because it's not so much the bread you want... you are more likely trying to run away from some feeling/thought/moment into the bread bin... :)

I love bread too. Im just greedy and love things that arent good for me, and lots of them. Sometimes my craving has an underlying reason...and sometimes it is just because I LIKE THE TASTE...but regardless...you are so close to weigh in and you have come so far already and are doing wonderfully...its not worth it. I know you already know that. Im just here to say...I understand...and you can get past it! :D xx

Oh no! I won't have any! I'm totally in the zone so there is no way I would have broken my diet so badly! Just smelled freshly baked bread when I was in the supermarket and it made me feel slightly sorry for myself lol
Bread is completely my weakest point. I love that stuff... :(
 
Oh god... bread... my one true love.. (ROFL - how ridiculous that sounds)? Don't worry, you're not alone on that one. I can leave sweets and cake/savoury snacks alone... but bread is such a comforting thing. I think I associate childhood and feeling good with that smell. My grandma used to bake dough-bread Latvian pasties/sweet breads, so that smells just stayed... so it's addictive, because on some subconsciousn level it must bring back that ... childhood and comfort... :)
Do you have any bread-associated memories from where you were little? Something you can put this wanting down to?

I was in a supermarket yesterday too - and even after 13 weeks I wanted some! Good on you for resisting though - well done! :hug99:
 
Yes! Eastern European bread is THE best. It completely takes me back to my childhood. I remember my mum heating up 2-3 day old loaf in the oven to make it crispy again. Oh God! The smell! Till this day when I go home the first thing I have is a slice of fresh Polish bread with unsalted butter. Heaven!
Right! Enough of that or my stomach acids will go mad! lol
That's the thing with this plan. Once I'm in the zone I'm like a rock! Nothing can make me break the diet.
I get 'bored' or slightly demotivated towards the end. Round about week 10-12 my head starts looking for excuses to cheat. It'll be interesting to see how I'm going feel this time round. I hope I will be able to recognise it and act accordingly.
