I'm having a bad diet day!!!
Its not been the best end to a pretty positive week, with another 2 pregnancy announcements and a day sat next to my ubber skinny friend, stuffing her face with junk all day and moaning she can't put on weight. I miss eating, I hate that hubby feels guilty about eating in front of me, I hate that I could never find money to buy anything but pasta and beans when on Slimming world but I can find £40 a week on shakes, but I don't want to be fat anymore, I want a baby, I want to be happy and I can't have any of that while i'm fat. I could cry, I feel so lost!

Okay sweetie. :bighug: you can do this. I am not a fan of non food diets ie shakes etc, but thats me. You have had an absolutely amazing first week.
You could perhaps do one more week of it to kick start your weight loss and then revert back to something like SW?
Or you can revert back to SW now.
Whatever you chose to do we will all support you sweetie :bighug:
I know how hard all this has been and one day sweetheart it will be your turn and you will make the most amazing Mum because you are an absolute sweetheart. You are lovely.
I don't know what to suggest dietwise only you can decide how you want to go about this, but we will all support you whatever you decide Nicki :bighug: xxxxx

Aww Bestie 
What are we going to do with you?
Big big hugs to you my darling x It's such a shame that you've taken a big knock just when you were doing so well. Unfortunately that's probably going to happen quite a lot hun
I agree with everything Jackie said bestie...she's very sensible.
How many shakes have you got? Maybe use up what you have left and then see how you feel? It's still very early days, and cd is a really difficult thing to follow, but from what I've read it seems it gets easier as time goes on.
Or come back to SW. But tbh, you have to really WANT to do it. All these diets work, but only if you throw yourself into them! Sounds a bit drastic I know but enthusiasm goes a long way lol!
You know we're all behind you whatever you decide to do, and we will always support you in any way we can x
Have a good think sweetie, but please don't get too down about things. You're still very young and there's still lots of time for you to lose your weight. And I really hope you make me an auntie too one day xxx But your happiness, health and well being must come first so you mustn't put too much pressure on yourself bestie x
Lots of love as always xxx

Thanks Ladies, I still don't know what I want to do and I am still struggling.
I got on the scales and I've lost another 4lbs, so thats 14lbs in a week. I really want to lose weight fast but I want to eat and I know that can't happen . I dunno, just pretty damn miserable at the moment without the comfort of my food.

So my stint on CD is over. After coming home and finding me in floods of hysterical tears hubby has said he isn't going to watch me stress myself into another breakdown and he doesn't want me doing it any more, wish I could say he was wrong and didn't know what he was on about but he's not, I've been miserable all week, hungry all week and not told anyone because I feel like a total let down, today it all got a bit much for me. He's told me (tough love style not mean style) that I have a lot of weight to lose, he has weight to lose and we're going to do it together and sensibly. He's already dug out the slimming world books and told me to use my day off tomorrow to menu plan, not used to him being so strict, its kinda hot! He doesn't want to go to group, said the £10 weekly fee can go towards steaks.
I wish I could be mad at him for trying to control me but I can't because he's basically just told me to do everything I've wanted to do anyway, he's just joining in. I have said that this time he needs to learn the diet too and not just rely on me to plan all his food, which he said he is willing to do. We're going to look at joining a gym in the new year but for now I'm going to weigh fit it.
But this week has taught me that I don't need all the crap I thought I was addicted to, I've lived of water and shakes, I don't need coke/fizzy/chocolate/crisps so maybe in the long run a week was just enough.

awww sweetie how lovely of your hubby :cry: thats so sweet and hes so right.
We are here for you sweetie, if you need help menu planning, etc etc, or just a :bighug: or abit of moral support.

You can do this Nicki. If nothing else a week on CD has a) given you a kick start b) shown you just how much you can do without, ie the fizzy etc etc c) shown that you have the willpower you so thought you lacked.
I am proud of you for trying sweetie I really am, and giving you an enormous :bighug: bear hug as think you need one.
Remember if you need us we are here. IF you have a bad day, a bad moment, talk to us, we will do all we can to help you xxxxx

Hello lovely bestie xxx
Bless that gorgeous hubby of yours for stepping in and taking control before you made yourself ill over it all x
There's no doubt people lose lots of weight on cd, but its so drastic...and its not for everyone. I could never do it as I enjoy food too much, and I can't see the point of swapping food for shakes, but of course the reward is rapid weightloss. But its not a race! I think Jackie is so right...it will take however long it takes and we'll try to help you xxx
You tried cd...and you did really well hunni...but it obviously doesn't suit you. I think that with hubby joining in and helping out with menu ideas etc you would do brilliantly on SW...that's if you want to give it another go xxx
So proud of you for admitting you're not happy, and for having a good, open talk with hubbs xxx
And let's look on the bright side...and there is a HUGE bright side of that one stone loss to spur you on!
Back on the SW choo choo wagon then...? Xx

Thanks guys, I really don't know how i'd manage sometimes without you guys.
Officially off the shakes now, unfortunately hubbs hadn't been shopping since before i started so first meal was a takeaway. To be honest I'm not refeeding like I should and I don't really care If i put the stone back on because I no It will come off again and just means extra stickies. I have to spend the next few days getting my muscles back to normal because since about day 2 I wasn't able to make it up the stairs without my legs buckling, Steve said its something to do with the lack of calories and lactic acid, I dunno he was quite sporty back in the day so I think he knows what he's talking about.
I was thinking about it last night and I think I will actually rejoin group, it will get me out the house and having access to online will be handy (and hifis). I'm also going to listen to slimpods again but just 1 not all 3 and during the day, see if it makes a difference to the nightmares.
I've asked the mods to merge this diary with my old one in the sw bit, so will be back in there soon. I'm using minimins to distract myself today, anniversary of stuff i'd rather forget, so feel free to harrass me all day.

Hey sweetie x
I'm so pleased to come here and find you sounding so positive about things x
I find I can't manage without going to group, and I actually enjoy having an hour out and a bit of a laugh. I think its worth the fiver each wk for the website and the fact that there's an official wi so I behave myself better! But so many people on here manage without going so I suppose I just have no will power lol!
Having another crappy day at work but only one more day to get through x
Sorry to hear that today is a sad anniversary for you x Have a big cuddly hug from me and Gwyn, and a lick from Suki xxx
Keep positive bestie,
Lots of love xxx

Thanks bestie, think it was being able to get up and have breakfast and the fact it was peanut butter and jam on toast
just using up the dibs and drabs in the cupboards before they're restocked slimming world styleee. We have almost £40 of tesco clubcard vouchers so they were originally being saved for a christmas blow out and are not going towards the cupboard restock. I think i'm going to make hubby come to group with me, even if i pay (still cheaper then the shakes) maybe if he gets the stickers and praise from someone else he'll get more involved. I'm currently working on a menu plan, we were going to do it weekly but seeing as I work in 2 week patterns I'm planning it fortnightly, the plan being I can stick to this plan and use my days off to make the more elaborate meals and work days for the simpler ones.
I had a brain wave about hubbys lunches, we struggled finding something to have other then sandwiches. But I'm going to make him some soup to take, that will keep him warm and full. If i can find a soup I can stomach, it would be ideal.
So need 12 different meals (having a roast a week) so off to hunt recipes, if anyone has a bolognaise recipe that tastes like a jar feel free to point me in the right direction. I thought someone had a hidden veg sauce but I can't find it.
