I'm an addict too, food and shopping, better still shopping for food!!! It's ridiculous!! No I have no plan for not getting back to this state again. It seems to be less of a problem the thinner I am. I find it easier to be in control when I've got a thinner figure to maintain. I don't think "Oh fcuk it what's the point" like I do when I'm heavier. I need to just keep going, not give up and not give myself permission to eat!

Right now I HATE what I see in the mirror, it's a big fat woman, it's not me! This is my pledge, every Wednesday morning I will post a picture of my scales and the number on it. That way there's no hiding and ill have to be accountable!

I LOVE that idea Surfhunny, so what you're saying is... you're going to post a picture on here of your scales every wednesday?
I think I'm going to join you as I HAVE to be accountable...
so didn't take a picture of the starting weight but it read 231 16.5stones - NO lie! I was like wahhh?

Yeah, I remember we were pretty much always around the same weight (siamese??) Here I was 3 years ago struggling to get under 200 lbs, here I am waaay above and beyond the point of trying to get under 200lbs! :cry:
The thing is, if we're being honest, I know this diet works, I also know how to work the diet - know what I mean? I'm trying like crazy to get back to my CD-virgin days, where I wasn't tweaking the diet every which way! Sometimes I really wish I could wire this big ole mouth SHUT!
 
That's true!! I'm going to SS because even the slightest bit of food opens the flood gates, and leads to self destruct mode! I'm also seriously considering having hypnotherapy to try and get away from binge eating!

Financially I'm on a very tight budget this month, to try and claw my way out of my overdraft, so I cannot afford to buy food as well as cd which is what I've spent the last few months doing. I have no choice. I have enough money to buy petrol and that is it. I have enough diet products to see me through the month so this self-imposed month of poverty might actually get me kick started!
 
Well, I'll be checking in VERY often... right now, I'm gonna turn in so as not to devour the entire house. Day 2 was actually OK, I didn't drink all the water I planned on, but I did drink a huge truckload of coffee this morning, so hopefully it will count for something.
Just knowing someone out there can relate to what I'm going through is such a big help.
How's work going? last time I checked, you were under a lot of stress and they were cutting positions?
 
Yeah work is still as stressful as ever, but I'm off this week. It seems that just before I'm due a week off I end up getting beyond stressed!! Last week I was actually beginning to think I wouldn't be able to hack it anymore. Then to top it off pay day was Friday and we didn't get paid, no one in the whole trust, due to a huge cock up by paymasters. Fortunately it was the weekend so my mortgage etc didn't come out until Monday by which time we'd been paid. Stressful end to the week.

I actually blame my stress levels for my weight gain, eating temporarily makes me feel better, but then I'm left with the stress of being too fat, no win situation really. I wish I was one of those people who lose weight when they're stressed, I'd be 8st by now.
 
Day one DONE. Started this morning and weighed in with Consultant at lunchtime. 19st 4. This does not make me happy at all :,( lowest weight I got to on consultant scales was 18st exactly in May, so 18lb since I last saw her 4 months ago, and I have had two operations, 2 weeks in majorca and just back from a mad weekend carb and booze binge! So I guess I can cope with that, still 75lb down overall this year! Normally have excellent first week loses, but never started this low before. Would be lovely to drop 10lb this week, more would be amazing!

Today has been ok. Ss+ day of three shakes, 2 eggs, mushrooms and salad leaves, and it feels like I haven't been away ;) I think after 5 months solid earlier in the year I guess I have fallen back in to the stride of it. I know I can do it, I know it works for me and I know I can keep it off, and this is the last time I ever want to do it. Do have to face sad reality that journey might not be over by Christmas now though - is only 14? Weeks to Christmas and I want about 7 more stone off.

Yay, glad today's gone well! :clap: And don't worry about what those scales said - that's going to be nearly all water weight. Give it a couple of weeks and that'll be gone. :)

Go Cazza! :banana dancer:
 
I hope so. Just hope the next few weeks fly by and I am a couple of stone down for my birthday in 5 weeks!
 
Ok so here it is my Wednesday Weigh In photo. 2lbs down so far so good.

OOH lookie lookie, you've got major scale with retro lighting!! YOU go!
I guess I'll go hop on mine :rolleyes:... Make it even more thrilling!! But as I'm a serial scale hopper, I'll have hand them over to my mom after, and ask her to hide them!
I have official weigh-ins on monday, but I guess I can move it to Wednesday so as to get this competition rolling - coz that's what it is right? As re-re-re-returners, we have to figure out something new as a motivator!
 
OK, so here's mine... gosh, it really hits home when you see it :cry:
Can't wait until that number rockets downwards
