Morning Bren
Hope everything is feeling better today. I also managed to catch the sun a bit yesterday - maybe that's why it's been raining this morning lol?!
How is the food going? Managed to get up to 30g carb yesterday but finding the choices all trickier - what are you aiming for?
Xxx

Afternoon Brendle
Sorry to hear about the sore behind does it just flare up every now and again? We'll all kiss it better

does it just flare up every now and again? We'll all kiss it better Oh god Susie, you really don't want to do that!!!!!
Hello all, much better today with the anaesthetic ointment ta
Been ok for a while, not sure why it suddenly had an attack.......and I so don't want to go to docs with it.
Katie, not really aiming for anything specifically, just adding a tub of total yog daily on top of my normal atkins meals really. They are big tubs and it adds 20c to my daily total, so probably around 35 to 40??

Thanks, I probably should not have gone to work yesterday but been much better today.
Have had a few periods, mainly weekends, where I have eaten "normally" and the weight just piles back on me so I know I can't tolerate high amounts of carbs. Am trying to be a bit more sensible these days and keep things more stable in an effort to lose a bit more xx

Have been re- reading atkins - amazing how different it looks now i know what he's talking about. Anyhow was interested in his views on long term maintenance, knowing your critical carb level both for losing or for maintenance but equally importantly what could you live without forever (mostly) because actually you had found an acceptable substitute. DH currently experimenting with carbqik recipes - that could be good!
I know that i cant eat like i used to - most obvious on holidays when i realise what im not eating - cream teas, pizzas, ice creams etc. No surprise that my before photo includes a 99 flake i think i need to change where i am and what i do - else too much temptation!
My dreams still full of excessive tomatoes, carrots etc. But sushi rice currently causing some concern!

That is exactly the right way to be thinking Katie, I thought I could go back to eating normally (pizza, chips, bread, cereal blah blah blah) but I can't if I want to keep my weight down. The penny dropped a couple of weeks ago that I was just being stupid about it and every Monday brought me the same challenge as the week before, and perhaps an even bigger challenge................so this Monday I actually weighed less than Friday, not a lot less but definitely not more which is a huge step forward for me. Will keep on working on it, because it really is a head thing for me.

Well done Bren - sounds like a fab first step! I guess this is the thing that's worrying me most at the moment - i just cant go back to where i was, it's just too awful, there must be a better way! Looking forward to diet for life ideas as you progress - i have deliberately told myself there is at least another 6-12 months before i can relax anything at all....if ever!
Love from the currently very paranoid one........

Join the club, it has been 12 months now since I stopped losing officially and it has been some journey, many more pitfalls than being on TFR but I did expect that, doing Atkins at least you are eating real and good food. I have deliberately finished every last Exante product in my cupboard so that I cannot go back to it as a crutch and I have to concentrate fully on the food I am eating and make sure that I am buying and cooking good fresh ingredients, the Harcombe book is probably a lot to do with that side of it. And I am trying not to have carbs and fats at the same meal if I can help it. The one thing I wish I could do is drink without it affecting anything, that is one thing I am jealous of with you, cos you seem to manage that really well!!! Although given recent behaviour, staying off the drink or severely curtailing it is probably a bloody good idea!!!

Just reflecting on Bren's and Katie's conversation... Again really helpful to hear - although I haven't really thought about life that far away!
I just assumed, I think, that I'm an addict so can never really expect to go back to what I was before... I just know what I'm like at the moment... I think differently to a naturally thin person- completely. I find it hard to identify when I'm full... My mouth and neck crave much more than stomach... But I just assumed that you had both cracked it cos of how brilliantly you've done! Hmmm... More thought needed!

Well Di, not speaking for Katie, but I too am an addict, a food addict - never happier than when I am chewing lol. I have no full button, no off button, tis a bugg@r to be sure! You really have to get in your own head - no other way to put it - and rearrange your priorities - and I think after a year of being slim - I am only just coming to grips with it. There is work ahead Di - but - and this is the good bit - IT IS SO FECKING WORTH IT

Morning Bren. Sounds like we need to find a lifestyle that works including enough partying then i guess!
Hi Di - i now know that i was physically addicted to carbs but i dont know which ones and how manageable it will be to add back some of them. I guess i now know that feelings of uncontrollable hunger are not something to beat myself up as as a greedy person(my previous view) but to avoid the triggers. Just got to find them really, really carefully!
