Notlongnow - diary of a past self sabotager - no more though!

You have amazing strength, the times you've resisted I have lost count, social events and gatherings. Your doing so well. Make sure you are sorted for Wednesday, take extra bars/ tetras just incase, it's days when we are stressed and or tired that a dangerous. God I sound like I'm your mum, that's what I do to my boys, always telling them what they need!;)

Btw, lemon drizzle sounds nice, I like the sharpness of that type of cake.
I'm not a sweet flavour person mire savoury. Shame I dint like the cd soups xxx
Have a great afternoon hun xxx :)

Me too!!!

Well survived stage 2 - there were so much stuff that i didn't use my lemon drizzle so that I could have one less thing to prep tomorrow for wed.

So I won't bore you with all the yummy stuff that was on offer - but I didn't partake - was helped that the two other mums there were the super slim ones who I feel huge standing next to .

I'm nowhere near any where size wise that I feel comfortable with so no urge to blow it. In fact prob the opposite and feeling like I'm not getting anywhere - don't think I look any different and my clothes don't feel very different. Knowing myself I think this is me distracting myself from a busy week ahead so am ignoring these negative thoughts. And will just plough on knowing that it must be coming off & if I've not lost this week it's cos my body is catching up with having lost quite a lot the last few weeks.

Final hurdle is roast beef and Yorkshire for dinner tonight - i'll cook it and let them sort themselves out serving etc .

You're doing amazingly. Well done. Keep pushing through babes keep pushing through xxx
 
so roast beef and all the trimmings done - its funny I find it very easy to cook all that and sit whilst they eating without batting an eyelid. However I know that I will struggle more this week with work stress followed by a planned social event - I suppose the key is to realise that those are my triggers and plan accordingly. So the work thing I think I have covered - I will take extra tetras and have as many as I need those days - forget what I should or should not be having just had what I feel I need on the day. On the Frid night I will think more of that when I get there! Its more that Sat and Sun I will need to really focus and get back on track and into ketosis asap before I start wandering off............!!

You are on my sky planner! An remembering to ignore your talk about the micro thing tho! Dangerous for me cause I love kitchen stuff lol x
 
There may be some bargains in the 10am show as its an outlet show so basically everything on sale. I don't know the prices til I get there but some may be cut price.
 
So WI this morning - 2lb off - I know I know I shouldn't be disappointed and prob bigger next week and all those other things I've said to others but secretly I was hoping for 3! No reason for it not to be coming off as I've done it 100% but I was hoping for more to bolster me in the week ahead.

Ah hun. I know what you're feeling but there's all sorts of reasons for lower numbers. Totm? You've still dropped an amazing amount in four weeks hub so you should be really really proud and know that next week will be a good one xxx

Also I hadn't noticed your numbers. We're in the lower part of the weight scale now and I think that hoping for 2 per week is more realistic as you're heading towards the tens and below. What is your goal hun? I forgot how similar our weights were x
 
1st goal weight is 10 stone but orob will end up at 9.10 if poss - still 2 stone away so not that near to goal for it to start slowing!! I know it all works out in the end - and I'm not too fed up I'm just impatient & like to see those numbers dropping!!! I think of 2lbs as a WW weigh in rather than an absolutely no food or cheating weigh in!!!!

But panic not - that's why I don't hop on the scales and as soon as I leave for work I will have forgotten and it's on to the next week. Day 29 so nearly in the 30s

I know how you feel about not looking any different I feel just the same but I think it I because I had over 5 stone to lose so nearly losing 2 is only putting a dent into it!!! But look at it this way just shows how easy it is to gain for me an extra two stone without it showing that is bad because I feel I am getting away with it eating crap and not looking any different :( then I find I am over 17 stone and have more than 5 stone to lose :( let's stay strong and never go to this place ever again chick we will do this xxxxxxx

Def bex when ya look back at what you have achieved so far this must be smaller week for ya and biggie next week. My friend always used to do 5 followed by two followed by 3 followed by 4 and it's weird coz it still add up to the same amount loss as everyone else just different ways of getting there lol xxxxxxx

yes i thought the same - how people probably dont notice when you put on as well - after a certain weight that is - when you are small then smaller amounts up or down show. I personally also am probably quite good at dressing to disguise so I cant blame people if they dont notice as they probably didnt quite realise how big I had become - oops!!! But you are definitely right I am NOT doing this again!!!

I think I have been drinking enough as i normally go by my pee colour (TMI!!) but I havent been counting it this week whereas I had in the previous weeks so I will get back on that and put it down to that. Thanks hun!
